Getting worse?!

by jalietapz at Citysearch

I've never been a big fan of Catty but my friends like to go there so every once in a while I will join them. The last time I was there (last weekend) we were rudely dealt with at the door by the bouncer (not too uncommon at lesbian bars from my experience but still). I'm not sure what it is about their drinks but they never taste the way they should and are always watered down. The music downstairs was all techno when we first got there and the DJ refused to take requests for anything else from my girlfriend. Also I took a walk closer to the door to make a phone call and was rudely and abruptly grabbed by the arm and moved away from the door area!! She did not leave me alone until I was past the pool table! Last time I checked it wasn't ok to assault customers!

Lets face it either we need to find another bar to dance at or they need to find a better way to run their bar!

What Happened???

by grandolxtie at Citysearch

I've been going to Catty's for about three years. Over the last six or so months I have noticed a major shift in the employees and their "lack of courtesy". Better put, their rude, self-important, borderline abusive attitudes. . I used to enjoy chatting with the bartenders and getting to know the regulars etc. However, each and EVERY time I go back now, I am basically HARRASSED by the door people before I get in. For example, I remember complimenting one of their shirts, and I get the equivalent of "move it along, Buddy.." (So much for me being nice and using the golden rule!!) Also, there is a worker by the door to the patio who likes to constantly remind people to shush... Feels as if the customers are being babysat.

I still have faith in this place though, and all of this BS makes me a little worried. I have made complaints to one of my friends who bartends there. She said they have heard a lot of complaints lately. Well, Then...Why hasnt anything been done to stop these rude employees?? It's sad to see a great bar (location, size etc) potentially be ruined by lack of respect and absolute rudeness of a few particular employees.

stereotypical

by meandmyfriends at Citysearch

i went to cattyshack with a straight friend a frisky friday and it was great! it felt like we were the only blonde busty femmes there but everyone treated us respectfully and we got a lot of attention. we didn't fit in, but we were allowed to be there too.

it could be a great pick up place if you are femme and looking for a butch or bossy person. the upper level was kind of dead - seemed like more couples there. the dancefloor on the bottom was crowded and the music was ok. restrooms were pretty decent.

• Pros: friendly, the dancefloor
• Cons: stereotypical, didn't see any feminist girls if you know what i mean
