To the blonde bimbos who work at the bar on the waterfront: For the sanity of all club-goers, please seek alternative employment. While at the bar on Friday night my boyfriend and I waited nearly 30 minutes to order our drinks. After getting extremely impatient I asked if we could please be served, which was replied to with a stupid smile from both the old hag who tries too hard and the young stupid airhead who were the only ones working both times I’ve gone there.
When the old hag gets close enough I ask again if we can please get some drinks…this is not unreasonable as this this was our first trip to the bar, and we had not had anything to drink earlier in the evening…thus we were not deemed bad tippers, annoying drunks and to our knowledge had no reason not to be served…she replies with “OH SURE!” in the most annoying fake manner possible. After she serves the two girls who came up to the bar about 10 minutes after us…she pours our two double vodka sodas, does some basic addition in her head and then proceeds to try and make us pay more for our drinks than the drink special price.
I was extremely pissed off by now and asked why the drinks were so expensive, she proceeded to inform me that the prices went up after midnight…this was at 12:05. I got REALLY pissed off at this point and reminded her that, had they served us 20 minutes ago I would have gotten the special price…she exclaimed “FINE! I’ll give you the cheaper price.”
BITCHES LEARN SOME FUCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE. An apology for the wait and some common fucking courtesy would have gone a long way. —Holly

i don’t know what it is bout Hali. and it’s bar service scene but it seems like it’s really bad. I’ve live in Hali.; T.O.; Mississauga; Fort Erie; London; and Vancouver and while every bar has it’s exceptions i’ve never heard the amount of bitches about Hali. drink service.
that is why i drink at home…delivered on a tray by a sweet bear
true! less expensive and wicked service 🙂
Good point Paingirl
You can always go to the NSLC & buy your favorite beverages…then go home or to a friends & drink whatever your little heart had desired !
You’ll save money, aggravation, get served whenever you want. Plus you can smoke/toke or even poke while drinking in the comfort of your private space .
Another plus for drinking at home. The bathroom. Self-explanitory.
Would this be Ped—s Pub? I went there once and got amazinly shitty service. and there was on expired bitch of a waitress and a young useless muffin working.
Amen paingirl. I either drink at home, OR go to my favorite billiards hall/bar in downtown Halifax. They definitely know how to treat customers there… (oooh, I feel a love coming on)
P-Pub is long gone!
I hate not being able to guess the Bitch Location!
charlie’s? it used to be fun
There’s many bars on the waterfront (Halifax)… Lower Deck, Maxwell’s, Old Triangle, ect.
Which one, OP?
? on the “waterfront” made me think it was some place a little closer to water than peddler’s….
and with all the competition, why would you even spend more than 10 mins in a place like that which pisses you off so much?
just hoof it to the next place and give them your business.
If it was this past weekend there’s a semi legit excuse – the bars and restaurants were busy with those rowdy, drunken, beligerent curlers and fans (sarcasm).
I was downtown at that waterfront place rhymes with gristle – service was shite
holly, where to begin, so i won’t. enough said, hasta le vista, baby.
next time seriously just stay home and do a room crawl… different shot in each room of the house.
usually, especially if you start downstairs, it turns out to literally be a ‘room crawl’
Having worked and managed pubs/bars I couldn’t believe how terrible the service is in HRM. Not just on the waterfront either a certain country bar in Dartmouth that doesn’t even serve Budweiser? Giving the waitress $10 for $5.50 beer and telling her to keep the change and not even getting a courtesy thanks? Any tip is better than no tip, but it only takes once to piss someone off enough that you won’t get that 81% tip next time. I’ve never met anyone who worked in the Hospitality industry for the wage, they work for gratuities. The last place I ran was union so we got $15+ an hour and tips, so there’s money to be made.
That. Sounds. So. FUN, zZz!!! I have my weekend planned.
it is indeed…. that’s the type of party I had my first cement mixer at….
and may I definitely recommend it. not like any other shot you’ve had.
are invitations available????
🙂
we won’t trash the place….. “honest” 0:-)
Sure!! Meet me at 742 Evergreen Terrace, 7pm Saturday!
sure… I’ll swing by professor frink’s place first and get his hamburger earmuffs….
it’s never a party without hamburger earmuffs.
LOL @ roomcrawl. I as well want in on this one:)
i thought it was 123 fake street. was that the blind guy with santos and the weed?
You’re only allowed to bring those along if the problem with the pickle matrix is fixed, and grab the the sarcasm detector … I’ll think we’ll need that.
I’m betting Staynor’s.
It was Club 1668. Let me add that the bartenders were playing with their hair most of the time.
Yeah, my roommate called that it was 1668, never been myself though.
Where is that?
used to be merryls… (spelling? doesn’t matter, it’s history now anyways)
and I managed to get the eigenvalues out to evaluate the pickle matrix just last night.
I’ll snag the frog exaggerator as well in case we end up trolling around the harbor…
oops, looks like I might be thinking of the wrong place as well….

i actually liked this place the times i’ve went, it’s small and there’s usually a pretty sweet crowd. good music too, if you’re into that kinda scene.
Call and speak to the manager.
