Market

01/01/2009 Posted by BeanCC

Just went to Market last night for NYE. Arrived at 8:30pm, the website said it was open from 8pm-2am yet when we got there they weren't ready for us. No one knew what was supposed to be happening- they had us following them around, couldn't find the person to give us the tickets that we had already paid for. We were sent to get drinks at the bar yet there were no bartenders to serve us and when one finally arrived at the bar she was extremely rude, looked at us and then shouted to the other employees "did anyone tell these girls that we aren't open yet?" We also weren't allowed to go up to any of the other floors even though when we purchased the tickets it had said that it included 3 floors. One of the bouncers pushed me out of his way. We also stood in line for the coat check for 25 minutes. We will never go back to Market. It was a terrible bar with rude staff. Don't waste your time or money on this place.

I have been to this place on a thursday night to start the night off and the vibe I got was really positive. The drinks were really tasty but a little bit on the pricey side. Other than that the employees were friendly and helpful as well as the music was great. It is good to see a place not too packed with college kids to relax have a few drinks and enjoy some good music.

Went in on a weekday night, ordered a draft and mixed drink on a credit card. Came back 15 minutes later and closed out., and was charged 50+ dollars, for 7 or so drinks, plus food. Bartender said it was "your" card and that you have to pay. Took a bit of an attiude with me. I explained the situation and she mentioned she would get who took my order. 5 to 10 minutes later the other bartender came back and I explained what happened, and she eventually corrected it and removed the charge. Said someone else had a similar name and it was a mistake- which seems unlikely given what my name is. I found it hard to believe that it was an honest mistake, given that there were only 20 or so people in the place, and the way it was presented. No apology was given. They did remove the charge though. Who knows, maybe people try to rip them off and lie about how many drinks they have had was the reason for the attitude. I'm never one to complain, and completely an easy going person, but this was an unpleasant experience. I wouldn't go back, and nor would the other people I was there with. Also, around 10 pm, they closed the windows and shut the curtains in order the create the effect that the place was full, when like I said, maybe 20 people in the place total. This happens in a lot of places, where they make a line to hype the place up I suppose. Sure enough after leaving, a line of about 8 people were waiting outside.

Went to Market for an after work cocktail and it's the typical financial district crowd. The inside decor is relaxed, leather seats and distressed wood decor. Service is average. Outside I was holding a parking spot for a friend and a man took over the space and said that he worked here. To my dismay he told me I could park a block away where the garbage truck was parked when it left. Obviously paying patrons are regarded as less than important than the Market's employees. You'd think an establishment that valued it's customers would have them park in front rather than having the inconvenience of walking a block away. Needless to say, WE took our business some place else(The Vault located directly across the street) where the paying patrons are given exceptional service where we were more than happy to spend our hard working cash.

Pros: The inside decor and flat screen TV's

Cons: Workers are given first priority to park in front of the establishment

The room looks really nice but the menu is a joke!! It's trying WAY to hard for a bar in that area. Need to simplify!! Ordered apps and they took 40 mins!! The place was dead too! Will never go back unless they straighten out their act!!
