Ive been going to Smugglers for a year now, the experience has been ruined for me now by a bartender with a horrible attitude. He is tall clean shaven with brown combed pointed forward hair looks like a dirty cop. This gentlemen said to me You can afford a beer but you cant afford to tip after I explained him my financial struggles and that I would tip generously the next week or two after hopefully receiving a job. I brushed it off as he was having a bad night, until about a week later I return. I try to order a beer and he asks me are you gonna tip I tell him I just interviewed today and was unable to afford groceries this morning luckily my friend helped me out. And what does he respond with, well then you cant get a beer. I say thats no problem thank you I honestly cant afford it anyway so its probably better I dont, could I have a water? He just stares at my with hatred quietly So I tell him, knowing he was likely to retaliate when faced with the truth of the circumstances, How can you expect me to tip you for good customer service after the rude remarks youve made to me? And he responds by telling me to Get out your never allowed back here again I love the bouncers Eric and Eddie the rest of the staff is amazing people Ive had nothing but good memories here aside from the bad experiences with this bartender. Just want to share in case anyone else has similar issues with him. I found out through the grape vine his name is Ronan I believe? and he does a lot of cocaine so I think is dopamine levels are out of balance and thats why he hates people having fun and smiling around him. I returned a week after being banned and he just mean mugs me and comes up from behind the bar to tell me to get out, I start saying goodbye to the bouncers and he tries to cut me off and get between us and tells me LEAVE NOW very assertively. I told him hey man I hope we can move forward past what happened earlier in the week, I have no issues with you man only a poor financial situation. He just stared at me like he wanted to throw a punch. I recently found out he is applying to be a police officer and i am very worried he is going to be not only power tripping behind the bar, but behind the wheel of a squad car as well. Be very careful around this bartender otherwise you may be banned. He also works at Fastnet so if you have issues with him at smugglers he will carry that beef to Fastnet as well and try to get you banned there because he doesnt like you. I had a flat tire and my friends were inside so I had to wait outside for them to come help me inflate it, while doing so I was worried this guy was gonna put his hands on me for being in his vicinity so i propped up a camera in case this guy assaults me. Unbelievable all of this occurred over the tip of one beer. Hope everyone reading this has a blessed and beautiful day, stay safe and healthy!
