mixed feelings about my stay
rude bartender late orders
the bartender was honestly quite rude. we were a group of 13 and wanted to come back for drinks after dinner in town. he said last orders were at 10:00 pm but when we asked if he could keep it open a little later, he just said 9:45 instead. it felt uncalled for and like he didn't want our business, a shame.
