Grille on Seventh

This one took a serious 180 about halfway through our visit. Starting out, nothing much was happening. J's notes say, "idk, it's a bar, nothing interesting happening here." That was the case until A tried to engage our surly bartender. Then shit got weird.

First, in response to a question about where she was from (she had a fairly thick accent), she asked A if he was gay. Not exactly a normal response to a fairly boring question, but maybe she was just curious. When pressed about it she revealed that she was just trying to insult him. Charming. Who doesn't like a little homophobia with their beer?

Then, while asking about the prices of drinks, she told us to go to 7-11 if we were so concerned about price. Rude, but maybe could be considered banter, I guess. We'll give her that one because what happened next caused complete slack-jawed surprise.

Upon finally admitting that she was from the Czech Republic, she really topped herself. "At least I'm not Indian," she said. "Because then I'd be stinky and cheap." We can certainly see why she got into the service industry. With that kind of flip homophobia and racism, it's a natural fit. She then proceeded, in her own thick accent, to mock the accents of her Indian bosses.

Aside from the incredibly charming service, things were getting weird in general. Bird calls were being tested and A ran into someone who works for the same company and got a lot of shit because the guy doesn't like his job and A does. J had to frantically scribble down the increasingly offensive things coming from the bartender's mouth. It was our last bar of the night and we felt like maybe we were starting to lose our minds. 


So we recommend going elsewhere.  You are downtown; there are a lot of places to go. Go to any of them instead.
