Actually, it looks like there's a few people complaining about a female bartender. If the tailbone tattoo fits ...

Here's a story about the place, posted last December:
I wish it were possible to give negative stars. I don't know if this is the same ownership and/or staff anymore, but just in case... went in there one night, put the card behind the bar to start a tab (not my idea, but it sounded alright when the bartender suggested it.) Time to go and I ask to settle up. Can't find your card. Uh, the manager has stepped out, I'll ask him can you wait a minute. How about a free drink. Sorry about that.
Finally the card materializes. Didn't think much of it until about a month later when I find that my credit card bill has a random charge of 300 bucks at CompUSA on that very same date. Hmm, I don't remember that. Further investigation revealed that apparently someone at that bar ran down the street that night and bought themselves a shiny new iPod, and signed with a squiggle. Props to my card company for taking it off the bill.

Well, at least starting a tab. Then again, I don't think I've EVER left my credit card with a bartender. Because I am paranoid.
Damn, and I like the House of Shields.

I dunno, I've never had a problem with tabs at the bars I've frequented here. Certainly nothing that heinous.

@Mace Yeah, I think Alpha's comment was admirably pointed and level headed. Esp. because she worked there, until her move.
I don't think this is a case of stuck up bartender vs. marina bitches. It was clearly an after work outing, and the bartender already had strikes against her for ignoring patrons, favoring/flirting with men and walking away.
Then she gets mad at the fact she does not receive a tip, and THROWS A GLASS? I don't care how pissed you are. Call names and throw fingers all you want- you have no right to toss glass at someone. She/HoS could have been sued.
IMO, she was already earning that zero tip as karma/backpay, because most people (incl. me, sappily enough) will tip *something* even if you are horribly terribly bad. It seems she'd been riding off this contingent of good paying patrons for a while.

Oh, here we go. HOS responds to the incident:

Ha! I was there just last week and I did witness glass throwing. But I think it was playful in the manner I saw it.
