Rude/Inhospitable--
AVOID.
Two
friends
and
I
walked
into
this
bar
and
a
cheery
bartender
happily
served
us
a
round
of
drinks.
But
within
five
minutes
the
music
stopped
and
harsh
lights
came
on.
Although
it
was
suddenly
quite
insalubrious,
we
were
only
a
fraction
of
the
way
through
our
drinks
and
attempted
to
continue
our
conversation.
In
short
order
two
different
staff
members
told
us
to
leave,
saying
the
bar
was
closing.
Then
someone
we
assumed
was
an
overserved
patron
parroting
or
mocking
the
staff
swept
through
the
room
barking
“Could
you
all
please
f**king
leave.”
When
a
third
staff
member
instructed
us
to
leave
I
suggested
that
they
ought
not
to
sell
drinks
to
unsuspecting
customers
and
then
immediately
boot
them
out.
I
was
told
to
take
it
up
with
the
manager…who
it
turns
out
was
actually
the
“drunk
customer”
we
had
seen
yelling
moments
prior.
Many
of
the
staff
at
this
bar
are
unprofessional
and
the
place
is
completely
inhospitable.
Door
and/or
bar
staff
should
have
advised
us
that
the
venue
was
closing
imminently;
instead
they
greedily
took
our
money.
It
is
due
to
experiences
like
this
that
as
a
Londoner
I
usually
avoid
Soho
like
the
plague,
especially
on
weekends.
I
would
advise
others
to
do
the
same.
I
rarely
write
negative
reviews
but
this
entire
experience
was
absurd
and
galling.
