Nasty Bartender
July 22, 2010 by pumpkinsmomma

I had eaten at Coombs on a few "business" dinners with a former employer, so when my husband and I moved into the neighborhood I suggested we go grab a bite to eat. "Their food is always great," I said to my husband. We walked in the door (bar side door), and made our way around to a table. Now my husband and I are heavily tattooed. My husbands face in particular, so we are usually use to stares (The general population doesn't realize how rude that can be) Anyway, I digress... I needed to use the ladies room, got up from the table, and passed the bar on my way. Not a customer, but the bartender (short middle aged woman with dark hair) is at the bar making comments about my husband, a paying customer and a heck of a nice guy. She proceeded to tell the two gentleman at the bar how discussing my husband was to tattoo his face (religious and cultural tattoos), and how ridiculous he looks. She must have not realize that I was standing right there, and when I politely questioned her she lied to my face and denied saying anything. I was right in front of her. Then she came over a few minutes later to take our order. At my husband's request, we did order, and the food was great as usual, but I am still offended by that bartender (you know who you are). Eventually a waitress came on duty, and that nasty bartender didn't need to bother with us any longer. The waitress was wonderful, the food was amazing, but if you don't want your loved ones embarrassed and insulted I suggest going else where. I have told everyone I know about this, and they are not going to Coombs as long as that rude bartender is an employee. Shame, because it's in my own neighborhood.
