Overlooked pet peeves at bars (consumer standpoint)

The single biggest thing that annoys me about some bars...The snotty patrons that sometimes come in and complain about stupid little details that really don't matter, some people have that critic mentality that are looking for the smallest thing to bash on, some of them are in this post.

 

I'm just wondering why are you at a bar, do you go there to be annoyed so you have something to gripe about?

 

craft bars where all taps are super cold.

 

As long as I can get a beer I want and enjoy it I'm fairly ambivalent about other issues. I will tip more or less based upon how easy you make it for me to get my beer and enjoy myself. Big issues for me are dirty lines, dirty glassware and overall filth. If you wouldn't invite your friends over and pour them a beer over your ballsack into a dirty glass and then throw trash all over your home then don't expect me to pay for essentially the same experience. I think that's reasonable.

 

there are craft beer bars out there that serve beers in frosty mugs? lol. maybe a dive bar with one handle of something good but c'mon. if i went into the cask republic (a craft beer bar with 50 handles in New Haven, CT) and they put a frosty mug in front of me I would laugh myself out of the place and continue chuckling until I got a proper glass for my craft beer at a proper beer bar. frosty mugs? you people are crazy. lol.

 

Yeah because it is completely unreasonable to be annoyed when a complete stranger wants to scratch my lottery ticket...

 

Metaphor?

 

To be out of business quickly? On the one hand, I actually prefer the bar when there are fewer people around and it's quieter, but the bar itself wants (needs) customers and a consistent profit. You ultimately can't control who goes there, though you can, as a bar owner, arrange the setting to draw more of a particular type of clientele or fewer of another.

 

Um, what?

 

How is a book any different than a Paper or an I-phone? I didn't have a book that particular day...So I guess a girl sitting alone in the bar is asking for it right?

 

My pet peeve is misleading names of bars.

Don't call your bar "world of beer" and have Guinness, Corona, Amstel Light, Heineken and American macro lagers.

And, for example, the Goose Island Brew Pub at O'Hare has Honker's Ale, Sam Adams and BMC. I walked three miles through the airport for that?

 

my biggest one is limited bathrooms.

And on top of that if you have limited bathrooms and your staff hogs it up to text message and roll blunts, its not cool.

 

Kind of like the Alchemist having a Port-O-Potty as their lone bathroom for customers.

 

I was thinking more about a local food spot with a beer garden that has a men's and women's(1 each) rooms. I can only speak for the men's room but more than half the time the person inside the bathroom works there, is texting in the bathroom, and is apparently rolling blunts.

 

It feels that way sometimes and I would bring a book to a pub not a bar if I had just been to the book store and the two establishments are close by.

*edit - the bookstore and the pub I mean; or the library and the pub. Well you know what I mean.

 

Seems fine to me. I've been known to take my Kindle into the Flying Saucer and read.

 

I know of one place before they redid it had the dart board located near the bathroom entrance. dangerous.

 

I don't want to sound like an old man - but really? Aside from smart phones causing a lot of anti-social behavior, the power isn't free.

 

Paraphrasing something I read on modern drunkard's website. Don't dance in a dive bar and don't brood in a dance bar.

 

an apple a day keeps the doctor away, not really..
