Reviews of Smugglers Waterfront Bar
"I’ve been going to Smugglers for a year now, the experience has been ruined for me now by a bartender with a horrible attitude. He is tall clean shaven with brown combed pointed forward hair looks like a dirty cop. This gentlemen said to me “You can afford a beer but you can’t afford to tip” after I explained him my financial struggles and that I would tip generously the next week or two after hopefully receiving a job. I brushed it off as he was having a bad night, until about a week later I return. I try to order a beer and he asks me “are you gonna tip” I tell him I just interviewed today and was unable to afford groceries this morning luckily my friend helped me out. And what does he respond with, “well then you can’t get a beer”. I say that’s no problem thank you I honestly can’t afford it anyway so it’s probably better I don’t, could I have a water? He just stares at my with hatred quietly… So I tell him, knowing he was likely to retaliate when faced with the truth of the circumstances, “How can you expect me to tip you for good customer service after the rude remarks you’ve made to me?” And he responds by telling me to “Get out your never allowed back here again” I love the bouncers Eric and Eddie the rest of the staff is amazing people I’ve had nothing but good memories here aside from the bad experiences with this bartender. Just want to share in case anyone else has similar issues with him. I found out through the grape vine his name is Ronan I believe? and he does a lot of cocaine so I think is dopamine levels are out of balance and that’s why he hates people having fun and smiling around him. I returned a week after being banned and he just mean mugs me and comes up from behind the bar to tell me to get out, I start saying goodbye to the bouncers and he tries to cut me off and get between us and tells me “LEAVE NOW” very assertively. I told him “hey man I hope we can move forward past what happened earlier in the week, I have no issues with you man only a poor financial situation.” He just stared at me like he wanted to throw a punch…. I recently found out he is applying to be a police officer and i am very worried he is going to be not only power tripping behind the bar, but behind the wheel of a squad car as well. Be very careful around this bartender otherwise you may be banned. He also works at Fastnet so if you have issues with him at smugglers he will carry that beef to Fastnet as well and try to get you banned there because he doesn’t like you. I had a flat tire and my friends were inside so I had to wait outside for them to come help me inflate it, while doing so I was worried this guy was gonna put his hands on me for being in his vicinity so i propped up a camera in case this guy assaults me. Unbelievable all of this occurred over the tip of one beer. Hope everyone reading this has a blessed and beautiful day, stay safe and healthy!"
"Cool place. Very active fun atmosphere. Great view of the waterfront."
"We have been coming here a long time. Was a bit worried this time though as no waitresses. Had to order food at the bar and she brought it out. Seemed to take awhile to get food but she appeared to be on her own and did a great job. I hope it was a one time thing as the view is perfect for drinks and lunch! Had a chicken wrap, was very good!!"
"Food was great and the outdoor seating during sunset is what makes this place shine, but there wasn’t much service when we went. Bear in mind this is a bar, not a restaurant, so you order food at the bar, clean your own table and close the tab at the bar. Which sucks when you’re dining it, so don’t expect restaurant-styled service. Would recommend sitting out back in the outdoor section where it’s less noisy and can get an amazing view of the sunset."
"Good food, great space with indoor and outdoor options. The best Sunset. Games both on the tvs and to play in person - foosball, pool, etc. young crowd but big enough to spread out and bring kids."
