We stopped by to try out their “new” Social Hour that was every day, from 3pm-6:30pm. (Banner on wall, outside).
We showed up at 3:10pm, and we were handed menus. We ordered drinks only, but after looking online, we realized there was a separate menu for “Social Hours”.
I asked the bartender about Social Hour, and he said “yeah, we’ve had it for a few years now.”
Me-“huh?, the sign says it’s new.”
He then gave us a Social Hour Menu (at 3:33pm), we showed up at 3:10pm). We ordered when we arrived.
Anyway, we asked about what was the “House Wine” on special for Social Hour. We had ordered the least expensive Pinot Noir, assuming that was the house red. (Would have done the same with the white) because there was no “House Wine” listed, for either. It was inferred that our red, was the House Wine, and it would be the special.
Nope. Got the bill, and it was regular cost. So we asked about it.
We were told by a different Bartender that it was not the House Wine, and I asked “how would we have known?”
She said, we could talk to a manager about it, but, it had been a long day, with other accountability issues going on with construction contractors. So, unfortunately, this just sat poorly.
Anyway…I still rated a 5 because I am very much in the business, and I know how the bs ratings affect your jobs. So please…pay attention. Know your pricing, know your products, and know the time of day you are serving the people who tip you.
..and regardless, if this promotion has been running for a few years now, you should absolutely know what the House Wines are.
Ps…the bar had us (two), and one other patron there. “Busy”, wasn’t an excuse, but, it shouldn’t ever be.
