First impression was kind of weird as the bar was nearly empty for a really big playoff game and it being not too late on a Thursday night.
We have 6 kids so a somewhat empty bar is usually preferable so when the kids get a little loud no one is complaining.
They had only one server/bartender and she gave the impression right out of the gate that we were a total bother. Not sure if they were planning on closing early and we ruined that, but we definitely did not feel welcome.
We ordered drinks and she informed us that the kitchen was closing and we had to order immediately. She stood there impatiently as we all scrambled to organize 4 adults and 6 kids orders. Not really a huge deal, I get that kitchens have a closing time. But the kicker was that the server completely forgot to put two of the meals in and when we caught it she informed us that it was “her bad” but the kitchen is closed. She offered chips and salsa to the two hungry individuals… lol
The food that we did receive was good, no real complaint on meal quality.
By 11:00 most of the bar had emptied out, but we wanted to hang out and finish the Cubs game. The server informed us that it was last call and we ordered our final round. We paid the bill and by this time it was probably 11:15. The next thing you know, the server and the last guy at the bar (I’m assuming her manager?) were turning off all of the televisions and putting chairs up. We still had drinks and the Cubs were batting in the bottom of the 8th inning.
They announced to us that it was time to go. We asked if we could watch the last out of the bottom of the 8th inning and the guy turned the last TV that we were watching off and said no.
I have over 10 years of service industry experience with more than half of that working behind a bar at places like this. I have never been made to feel less welcome than this lady and her co-worker made us feel.
You can bet that we will never step foot in Ellyn’s Tap again. After that experience, I understand why they were soooo slow.
Advice to the owners… get rid of staff that chase a way customers. Experiences like ours will eventually put you out of business… Just my two cents.
