Rudest staff in Cambridge!
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

01/20/2008 Posted by CDP5

My friend's and I were having an OK time here until the end of the night when the bartender refused to serve my friend a much-needed glass of water. Granted he was probably annoyed by customers who have one too many, but it is a bar for goodness sake! It can't have been the first time! All we needed was a glass of water and the response was "I'm through serving you." I can't even imagine what point he was trying to make. After we decided to leave, the manager was extremely rude, too! Condescending and ridiculing. I don't know what they expected, but it's not a coffee house -- it's a bar. I would never go back, and I hope that sharing our experience stops other innocent people from entering that establishment. In addition, none of the four different staff members who served us drinks checked our ID's.
