We were kicked out after a short brunch

I'll never eat here again - I took my mom here for brunch before she left town, and we ordered immediately after sitting down, and ate quickly. We ordered a second roudn of mimosas, and as soon as they served us they were hovering over our table, asking "can I take that?" as we were still finishing, and then once they had taken our plates they said "you know, you can finish your drinks at the bar" and basically asked us to leave. Very rude - I will not be going to brunch here again.

Worst Bar on Planet

by aammaannddaa at Citysearch

Last night Tuesday August 4th at around 7pm my boyfriend and I entered Harefield Road, a bar in my neighborhood that I have frequented a few times.

The bartender was a 5'5 woman with brown curly hair and some arm tatoo's. I ordered a dirty martini which was met with nothing but disdain and disgust by the bartender because it wasn't a "happy hour drink special." I didn't care about happy hour and didn't go to the bar because it was happy hour. I politely said no big deal...still want the drink. I also asked her to recommend a drink for my boyfriend, who occasionally drinks and can not tolerate a strong alcohol taste. So basically I told her the following: we want to drink a lot of expensive drinks and we don't care about happy hour. Skies the limit for that bartender who was tending bar to maybe a handful of customers at that point.

She rolled her eyes and told me quote, "Look, my job is to make the drinks you want...so order what you want." This was said with condescension and impatience. She clearly did not want to serve us and was absolutely put out beyond comprehension to have to use her brain and also her arms to make us two drinks that weren't just a pull from their crappy beer selection.

I threw my arms and left. I have been drinking for 20 years and never have walked out of a bar due to a bitchy bartender. Really amazed. There is a first for everything I guess.

So my boyfriend walked down to Daddy's which happily served us expensive fruity cocktails until our hears content. We high fived the bartender and tipped heavily and left drunk. Our goal!!!

So if you are looking to drink on Metropolitan off of the Grahm L stop don't plan on going to Harefield Road (which is a bar..a full bar) ever..because clearly their business plan is to not serve the alcohol.

However, please go to Daddy's which is at 435 Graham Ave a couple of blocks of of the Grahm L stop. They are a full bar and will sell you alcohol.

truly amazing event.

My recommendation on Harefield Road. If it exploded I wouldn't even notice.

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: bartender, service

If I pretend it's not awesome, will it be easier for me to get a table?

Awesome brunch spot, awesome bar. I have been going here for several years, and I highly recommend it. The owner and bartenders are friendly and familiar, and brunch is a SERIOUS deal. $12 for a drink and a delicious meal? Unbeatable. Bar is also a great deal as well! I have noticed some negative reviews here, and I can only assume that these reviewers are trying to thin the crowds so they can get a table faster!

• Pros: Great food, great drinks, great prices!
• Cons: Now that everyone has figured out how awesome it is, it's a little crowded!
