East Village Hotel, BALMAIN, NSW

Very bad attitude from staff, my handbag got robbed at this venue and then one of the smart ass bartenders decided it was a good ideas to fight with me about it. Thank you for the hospitality

I have to say I was very put off by the rudeness of the staff. A particular male bartender was very antisocial and seemed miserable to be there - some short guy who just looked grumpy and wouldn't smile. I came in with a friend to grab a bite and a few drinks. I have to say the food took Forever to finally arrive and it was very overpriced for what I got (a small salad). The worst part, and here's the kicker, my friend said the next day she got terribly violently ill, and we both presume it was the tuna dish she ordered. This place looked nice from the outside and seemed promising, but after my horrendous experience I'd NEVER return. So don't order fish from this pub. In fact, don't order anything at all unless you enjoy rude service.
