Default Real Short Pour

We went to an unnamed watering hole in the vicinity of Lake Sumter Landing, for a get together with friends.
We both drink premium whisky's, hers came in martini glass, mine came in rocks glass with one large ice cube in it, the level of liquor in my glass was less than 3/4", to be sociable we both had two drinks each.

Bill+ tip came to $52. & change - & we didn't eat

All I can say is I get triple the amount of what I was drinking @ The Bonefish for less $-

Some bartenders @ this establishment know how to pour, others don't--we don't enter if a bartender we don't know isn't working.

Its a shame a restaurant doesn't have consistency.

That is too much for 4 "short" drinks.

It seems to me that the local restaurants & bars have ZERO management or anyone supervising...

Sounds like poor management or someone is counting extra drinks out of the bottle with short pours.

You are so right. Some clubs pour a fare pour and some do not. When not, my golfing group goes elsewhere for drinks. This is summer and the only ones left are the full time residence. PLEASE be as good to us as your are to the snowbirds.....Please train your bartenders. The waitress is not the problem. the club is.

I would like the name also. I would hate to pay that much for the same painful lesson.

Why post a complaint without naming the restaurant?

If you succumb to those who would silence free speech, they have won.

WE recently went to Bonifay's after golf and I always ask if its Happy Hour. Yes it is $3.95 for house liquor. OK I will have a house burbon on the Rocks. I get the bill afterwards and I see its $5.95. I call the watress over and she said you had it on the rocks and we had to charge more because it requires more liquor????????? I said you never told me that and she finally reduced the price to 3.95 but the rationale was crazy!!!

The only decent places around (that we have tried) for a good happy hour liquor drink meaning decent prices for house or premium liquor are Bonefish, Havana, Arnold Palmer, Cane Graden, and Glen View. We have also had luck at Honest John's but only During Happy Hour and on Wednesdays they include premium drinks in their happy hours
