I had to remove one sausage link from my sandwich and eat it on the side, due to logistical issues.

Came in here last night with my girlfriend's family, who are in from Maine for the weekend.  5 minutes after ordering our ice cream and sitting down to eat it, the people working the counter turned the house lights out on us.  We didn't even get so much as a "Hey guys, we're going to be closing up here soon, would you mind finishing up?"
When we went for the front door, we found it locked, and were instead ushered out through the rear entrance by a silent cashier who never made eye-contact.  As soon as we were out of the building, they put the house lights back on and finished cleaning up.
I'll call the DM on monday to see if I can get this straightened out.

    Located in the old Bistro d'Asia in University Heights.
    Finally, a beer bar with a liquor license.  20+ beers on tap, scotch also a specialty.  Kind of a scene for the neighborhood, but seemed pretty legit at the soft opening.

Several years ago, I used to frequent the old location in El Cajon.  Walking into the new location was a trip.  Gone were the clear plastic tablecloths and furniture you'd pick up for $5 at a garage sale.  The place has gone trendy and upscale.
This initially made me nervous, but the dishes I love are prepared exactly as I remember them.  Crispy beef, garlic chili chicken (extra garlic, extra chilli, extra everyone staying 10 feet away from me for the next 3 hours), pork fried rice, all taking me back to when I was 19.  The portions cost exactly the same as they used to, but portions have backed down to a reasonable size for one person.
When they get their beer and wine license, and start staying open until late on Fridays and Saturdays, this place is going to be packed!

I fucking hate this bar.  I hated it when I was a 21 year old amateur, and I hate it now, as a reasonably seasoned professional.

This past Wednesday, I was dragged here by my brother's girlfriend, to celebrate her becoming an American citizen.  I grimaced and paid the $8 cover, bought a $2.75 beer (on $2.25 beer night, no less) and noticed that the dude next to me was wearing a T shirt that had Nazi SS lightning bolts on the sleeves, and on the back, a skull wearing a Nazi helmet emblazoned with the same.
I did a double take, then verified that it wasn't a Slayer shirt.  Nope.

I will never be dragged here again.

This place stikes the critical ratio between tasty food and terrible service in restaurants that I will allow myself to patronize.  Every time I come in here, I want to choke the bitch behind the counter for being so rude to me.  Every time I open my to-go container in front of my office computer, I wonder why I go here so infrequently.

I cannot get service here, as I do not have enough ironic facial hair or regrettable tattoos.
Tried making prolonged eye contact with the robust woman in pigtails behind the counter, but she clearly thought I was just eye fucking her.  Honey, I just want a Pranqster and a shot of Jim.
