Douchey Bouncers, Exhibit A: Thomas McDermott

by nayqueenie at Citysearch

Our party was downstairs, our crowd was so big that the lower level was personally opened by the manager for our group [students of a graduate school in Boston, thus our need for libations].

I showed up in a fashionably, but not unreasonably, late manner, and the bouncer (named above) refused to let us down to where our party was. For that, I really should give this bar 0 stars. It's unbelievably insulting to your customers when you refuse to admit them to their own party (especially having made them already pay the cover).

And before you start to wonder to what degree I'm biased (at least in terms of the disparity of my comments between the male and female employees of Wonderbar), let me just say that I am a straight female and not some creepy guy who irrationally loved the female employees and hated the male employees.

The above-mentioned bouncer in particular was acting like he was guarding the gates of Ibiza. Come on buddy, stop giving your bar that much credit. (I made sure to get his full name, here it is again: Thomas McDermott, tall blonde douche with a superiority complex, which is likely the result of his over-compensation for lack of girth.)

The DJ upstairs was weird, but not bad. He only played 30 seconds of every song and then mixed in a new song very quickly; it was hard to enjoy the music.

I did enjoy my drink; it was strong and delicious.

• Pros: good drinks, hot & friendly female employees
• Cons: douchey bouncers, truncated songs, elitist mentality

The Secret to Wonder Bar Business

by Bethb313 at Citysearch

Upon reading this please understand that I, writing this, have a Bachelors degree in Food Science, and understand the chemistry of Cooking and Food.

The "secret "to the pizza is that there is water added to the dough. This saves using tomato sauce and adds a slimy texture to the pizza. This is quite pleasing in taste, but when too much water is added is very mooshy and greasy. Secondly, I have gathered that business is best inside the restaurant, and that if you want delivery, you are 65% likely to get a less satisfying pizza.

• Pros: the food eat-in food is great
• Cons: The Pizza is poor when it is pick-up

Difficult Night

by Daan at Citysearch

One goes out to the bar to relax and let loose, I was more stressed and angry when I left than I had been all week. My friends were seperated to another location so meeting people throughout the night is difficult and they do not allow males to dance in the raised area at the back of the club, and my fiance was told to get down from the area, I never support gender inequality and this was a great example of it. I would not reccommend this bar.

• Pros: Drinks were good
• Cons: Gender Inequality, Serperation of Bar Areas makes meeting-up w/ friends difficult
