Let
me
start
off
by
saying
I
am
a
very
fair
reviewer
and
always
try
to
give
the
benefit
of
the
doubt.
Rockstar
can
respond
and
color
up
what
I
say
here,
but
I
will
be
honest
like
I
am
with
all
of
my
posts.
I
post
a
lot
of
reviews.
I
chose
this
experience
for
my
birthday.
I
was
very
excited
to
bring
a
big
group
over
to
Rockstar
from
Virginia
and
celebrate
our
only
night
in
NYC
with
them,
especially
given
the
amazing
reviews.
I
have
done
similar
crawls
before,
so
I
understand
how
these
things
go.
We
got
to
the
Irish
Pub
(no
cover
if
you
came
without
Rockstar)
at
8:45pm,
15mins
late.
We
were
passed
over
to
Eric,
who
checked
us
in
and
gave
us
bands.
After
45mins,
I
realized
we
never
got
welcome
shots.
First
strike
in
my
opinion.
I
had
people
in
my
group
who
were
expecting
a
way
livelier
experience.
I
kept
apologizing
to
them
all
night,
even
though
it
was
my
birthday.
I
went
to
Eric
and
had
to
remind
him
about
the
shots.
Also,
our
guide,
Jimena,
was
still
not
there.
Eric
said
she
was
running
late.
I
took
the
shots
from
the
bar
and
walked
to
the
back
to
our
table
myself,
serving
the
group.
Jimena
finally
came
an
hour
late
and
introduced
herself.
She
spent
the
rest
of
the
time
at
the
pub
talking
to
Eric
and
texting
a
lot
on
her
phone.
We
left
the
pub
promptly
at
11pm.
I
was
so
pumped
because
we
were
supposed
to
go
to
Monarch,
a
cool
rooftop
bar
with
a
view
of
the
Empire
State
building.
I
talked
it
up
a
lot
to
the
group.
As
we
walked
to
Monarch,
Jimena
said
we
were
not
going
to
go
there
because
they
had
a
special
event
for
the
night.
Yes,
the
website
does
say
this
can
happen,
I
understand
that.
But
why
wouldn't
they
know
ahead
of
time?
If
it
happened
the
day
of,
I
would
tell
my
customers
so
they
know
what
to
expect
and
give
an
option
to
cancel.
I
tried
to
stay
positive.
It
turns
out
we
walked
five
blocks
and
two
half
long
blocks,
losing
our
buzz,
to
a
bar
called
Celon
(free
cover
even
without
rockstar),
which
Jimena
said
she
has
never
been
to.
We
walk
in
and
we
were
the
only
people
there!
A
group
came
later
but
wow,
it
was
dead
and
very
dark
and
disappointing.
Literally
any
other
bar
would
have
been
better.
To
make
matters
worse,
Jimena
was
isolated
and
texted
the
entire
1.5hrs
we
were
there.
She
spent
0
seconds
attempting
to
entertain
us.
We
tried
to
make
the
best
out
of
it
by
bothering
the
DJ
to
play
better
music
and
tried
to
dance
some.
We
left
that
disappointment
to
get
in
the
limo.
I
had
two
girls
in
my
group
who
were
so
hyped
up
for
the
limo,
as
they
had
never
been
on
one
before.
We
got
in
and
there
was
no
AC
for
90%
of
the
ride.
Also,
Jimena
couldn't
figure
out
how
to
play
music
in
the
limo.
The
lights
were
also
off,
so
we
sat
in
the
dark
and
used
our
cell
phones
as
a
flashlight.
Some
guy
ended
up
figuring
out
the
music
and
Jimena
rolled
down
the
windows
for
air.
It
started
raining
and
those
of
us
by
the
windows
were
getting
wet!
To
top
it
off,
the
limo
driver
began
to
cuss
us
out
when
we
reasonably
asked
him
to
turn
up
the
air
and
turn
on
the
lights.
When
we
were
waiting
for
umbrellas
to
get
out
and
go
in
to
Hudson
Terrace,
he
yelled
at
us
to
GET
THE
F***
OUT!!
Happy
birthday
to
me
right?
Jimena
reasonably
felt
bad,
so
they
arranged
for
my
party
to
have
bottle
service.
The
gesture
wasn't
unnoticed,
but
the
bottle
was
undrinkable
and
random
people
wouldn't
even
drink
free
drinks
without
taking
a
sip.
We
were
also
asked
to
tip
$30
for
the
service,
which
we
didn't
ask
for
in
the
first
place.
We
decided
to
leave
within
45mins
at
Hudson
Terrace.
The
owner
also
threw
the
bottle
service
gesture
in
my
face
the
next
day
via
text
when
I
complained
and
added
"Your
welcome"
to
close
out
his
point.
Wow.
In
the
future,
I
recommend
people
to
avoid
this
place.
Go
to
playwright
pub
yourself
for
free,
go
to
Celon
for
free,
and
go
to
the
Press
Lounge
(next
to
Hudson
Terrace)
for
free.
For
the
Option
B
$45,
all
you
are
paying
for
is
a
welcome
shot
(which
you
have
to
ask
for,
not
very
"welcoming")
and
a
poor
limo
ride
to
Hudson
Terrace.
You
could
get
much
more
for
$45
a
person
in
NYC.
