Washington Square Bar & Grill

Nice place - slovenly, overly-casual wait staff. I'm a longtime WBL local, have been to Washington Grill quite a few times. The one big issue - when bringing guests here for first time I often have to cringe at the slovenly dressed wait staff. The Wash Grill is a classy enough place, nice architecture, why the waiter dude feels it OK to wear a grossly filthy stained thin white T-shirt, dirty baggy jeans and a mangey unkept beard really dumbs down the otherwise pleasant ambiance. It's actually kind of gross being served from someone that looks like they sleep under a park bench and a bad reflection on the whole establishment (If that's what the waiter looks like one wonders what the kitchen looks like?!) The owner needs get it together and tell the wait staff to exercise some basic hygiene and wear some decent (or at least cleaner!) clothes.…

Historic White Bear. It's a bar...and a nice one. They have some nice folks that work there and a fireplace which is cool to look at. It is more for folks who are 40 and up I'd guess. I'm 28 and I really do not see many people my age there, unless they work there...Furthermore.... If I were a guy, I would hate to have an upset stomach there...shitty latch on door so anyone could walk in on you...why is it okay to have a lock on girls door but not on guys??? It is 2010!…

Bad versions of competitors menu items!!. Waited fifteen minutes to be greeted, no one at the door, no manager visible and my daughter and I were treated as though it was our "lucky day" to be there!! After finding our own table next to the un-showered Hippies, it took another fifteen minutes for our beverages to arrive... they were prompt in delivering our food which only took about 4 or 5 minutes, not long enough to cook anything fresh in a busy bar!!?? The food wasn't anything you couldn't find at the "OCB" or "Acapulco" for a fraction of the price. We felt as though we might be paying for the self-indulgent crap on the walls?? This would not fly in Luverne, Texas!!…
