    So, I came in recently for a friends birthday. I was having such a good time until I went to pay. There was some things on the bill that I was sure i didn't order. I asked the bartender about it and he went from nice and flirty all night to rude and wanted to kick me out in two seconds. I said I didn't think i had one of the items on the bill. I said i wasn't the drunk and knew what I had ordered, he then said well look at your tab, implying that I was drunk. I couldn't believe how nice to mean this guy went as soon as as I asked a question. If I had ordered it I would have paid it with a 20% tip. Just by questioning this one thing he freaked was rude came back to me and said "Oh well I voided your bill and tried to charge you half but now your card isn't working so I'm voiding the whole bill". I didn't want to pay half I wanted to pay the bill that I owed. I work in the hospitality business and I treat everybody with respect, it's my job. I have never been treated so rudely and like whatever i said didn't matter as I was treated here.

    A Real Happy Hour: Jakes is the place to be in Manhattan...The "Only" NYC bar with a real Happy Hour...meaning everything behind the bar is half price, not just a cheap selection of liquor no one drinks... and did I mention happy hour on Saturdays from 12 to 8pm...Jakes, this is where the real happy hour begins.
