I
stopped
in
Bitter
Bar
the
other
day
in
the
early
evening
--
I
had
marked
this
place
as
a
"must
visit"
spot
in
Florence
from
other
positive
reviews.
The
bar
was
completely
empty
at
830PM
and
my
group
was
quickly
given
a
spot.
The
inside
is
very
well
decorated
and
there
is
lots
of
detail
given
to
the
space.
Service
was
emotionless
and
the
staff
member
that
took
our
order
seemed
bothered
by
our
presence.
Despite
being
the
only
table
of
guests,
our
drinks
took
more
than
20
minutes
to
arrive.
We
had
a
member
of
our
group
that
was
being
rather
indecisive
(asking
for
more
time
to
make
a
drink)
but
the
staff
refused
to
start
making
drinks
until
they
had
the
"full
drink"
order.
I
thought
the
refusal
was
odd
given
the
bar
was
empty
and
other
places
were
happy
to
oblige.
When
the
drinks
finally
arrived,
none
of
us
were
particularly
impressed
or
pleased
with
our
choices.
It
felt
like
the
drinks
were
either
poorly
made
or
missing
ingredients.
My
drink,
for
example,
was
completely
devoid
of
anything
sweet,
completely
out
of
balance
(and
this
is
from
someone
who
loves
a
citrusy,
dry
cocktail!).
The
group
ordered
5
different
drinks
from
the
menu
and
only
one
was
something
that
I
would
consider
ordering
again.
I've
been
to
cocktail
bars
in
20+
cities
and
not
a
single
one
stuck
out
in
a
negative
way
like
this.
(Note
--
I
did
notice
that
at
least
a
couple
of
recent
reviews
that
other
people
have
experience
similar
quality
issues
with
their
drinks,
particularly
with
the
current
menu)
I
would
recommend
you
spend
your
money
and
time
elsewhere
in
Firenze
--
there
are
many
fantastic
cocktail
bars
in
the
city
and
this
one
falls
short
in
almost
every
way.
