Overpriced Drinks, Completely Rude Bartender & Coatcheck

by NewYorkBB at Citysearch

This was my first, and last, experience at Gypsy Bar... $60+ for 6 MIXED shots, not even straight liquor... $10 for a house vodka drink, and a completely rude bartender in the back who told me "You tell your girlfriends not to come back here," AFTER I left her an unwarranted tip. Manager-- you should really fire the Asian girl who works in the back bar by the dance floor, her attitude will lose you A LOT of business.

This place has so much attitude and nothing at all to justify the attitude or overpriced drinks.

Best of all, the coatcheck girls LOST the belt that was on my coat. So I pay $10 to get in, $10 for a HOUSE drink served with complete rudeness, and $5 to check my coat, only to find they completely lost the belt on my coat and seemed BOTHERED by the fact I asked them to look for it, aka to do their jobs.

Coming from New York, maybe Boston does not have many other options for a more "upscale" club to go to if you want to dance... but this place is trying to be upscale and failing. One star is being too gracious. I WANT MY BELT BACK.

Great drinks, TERRIBLE higher management, not worth it!!!

by Kahran at Citysearch

In my entire life, I've never had an experience like this.

As I do normally, I opened a tab. At the end of the night, I closed my tab, upon which I discovered that while some of my drinks were there, some were not, and 10 vodka drinks, unexpectedly, were there instead. 10 vodka drinks, just fyi, comes to $90.

Upon informing the bartender of this, she called over a manager, who brought over a bouncer and informed me that if I did not pay, right now, they would call the police for me attempting to steal from the bar. He continued to inform me that we had had a good night, there was no reason for it to end badly.

For a reputable establishment in Boston, I was shocked. Unfortunately, as I work for a newspaper, I've subsequently learned that this is not an isolated incident. I urge you, stay away--its not worth it.

• Pros: Beautiful people, nice atmosphere
• Cons: Racketeering!
