I had a disappointing experience at this bar. I ordered a “double” mezcal negroni for $35, which turned out to be poorly made. When I politely addressed this with the bartender, he responded rudely and later called security on my friend and me, even asking them to involve the police. Despite our calm demeanor and sobriety (as I hadn’t even consumed the drink), we were treated unfairly. This was an overall terrible experience with unacceptable customer service.
So I've never been here before and on my first trip to this food market I decided to have a drink with my girlfriend. I walk up to the bar and sit down and ask if I can eat at the bar while having lunch. Me and my gf grab our food and bring it to the bar. Twice I motion to get the bar tenders attention, twice I'm ignored as he is changing out a beer tap. Then my gf trys to get his attention and he responds rudely to us which was unexpected. As we sat and ate we decided we didn't want to order drinks. When he finally was ready to serve us we let him know that we didn't want drinks anymore and that he was kind of rude. He disregarded our comments and asked rudely for us to leave the bar. Never have I ever been treated so disrespectful and received such poor customer service at such a highly regarded eatery. Bartender/Owner was definitely having a bad day. Would not recommend patronizing this establishment.
Just ordered a beer and was served by a mask less bartender who was talking over my beer while bringing it to me. After a year, I think we all know how COVID spreads by now. When I asked if he was vaccinated, the bartender got visibly upset with me. Sorry buddy, my wife is immunocompromised and I'm not drinking a risky beer. Wear a mask next time. I paid for the beer, left it on the counter and left. I love public market and have been coming here for 10 years, but I won't go to this bar again. They also charged $11 for a trummer, big ripoff, especially for mask less service.
Avoid this place. Bartender had attitude and serves very water downed drinks, which were 95% ice & expensive.
Awful espresso martini, service was eh too
