Never ever go to the Cock and Lion
So a bunch of us went out for my birthday last night at the Cock and Lion on Bank street and Spark.
We got there around 4pm after work and sat on the patio for a while but the bee situation was a bit crazy so we went to the basement/dive part of the place.
My coworker Mike bought me a shot that did not go down well at all. I'm not a shot person, especially one with coffee flavour in it. I kind of ran to the bathroom and spit it up. Then the waitress tells me in front of everyone "I have to cut you off". I was thinking "seriously?" this was my first drink. We argued for a while and then she said she'd have to wait an hour to serve me again. I was going to get up and leave but people had already ordered food and not everyone from our party was there yet so I decided to stay. Well after around 7pm the place kind of emptied very quickly and we were the only people there.
The waitress was not really selling the place. She'd want to settle up every freaking 5 minutes and at the end of the night tells us that Debit and credit card machines weren't working so that we had to go upstairs to the TD machine next door to take money out. She was kind of a total bitch come to think about it. I don't think I'll ever go there again.
Despite the waitress obviously not wanting us to be there, I had a lot of fun. Although I realized afterwards that I have much more male friends than female ones.
