by Joe S. on I thought it mighta been just an isolated incident, outlier, whatevs....but...reading some of the reviews, apparently they have systematically BAD bartenders. I ordered 3 drinks, he got one wrong as he poured me one that I had not even heard of. I *politely* explained to him what I ordered and he flat denied it, then I explained I'd never even heard of the 3rd drink he made. I continued to argue with him for 5-10 more minutes and he finally made the actual drink I ordered and had already paid for. He slammed it down on the bar, spilling like half of it, shouting, "Fine, ENJOY!". What a douche.
by jes m. on I love them for many reasons. 1. Because they are such a community joint. Dawn is amazing and really opens the place up for the community to use for performances, fundraisers, whatever. 2. For the most part, except for the guy who wouldn't make me a bloody mary the other day at the beginning of mango when like nobody was there, I love the bartenders. Y'all rock and you're pretty cute too! ;-) 3. The outdoor area. Having come from NYC where there are few outdoor areas at bars this place was a refuge to me. And even though there are others with great outdoor areas, I like El Rio's because I always feel welcome there. 4. Bloody Marys or Marias since that's how I like 'em. Spicy and not watery. Floater of Guiness. Need I say more?
