Sip N Chat Cocktail Lounge

was there last night, drinks good, vibe nice but unfortunately i got food poisoning from the garlic butter shrimp i’ve been throwing up since noon, my friend kept saying it smelt horrible but i thought it was just the seafood and i was lit but she was definitely right.

Love the place,the drinks n food is amazing,waitress great service, the only thing I dislike it seems like they don't want anyone to go downstairs and dance. I cannot be sitting upstairs all night. Open up the dance floor.my new place is HQ lounge. Food is amazing and I dance all night.

Amazing food and strong drinks. Our go to when my boyfriend and I need to sip and chat and have tough conversations! The calamari, brown stew snapper and the sip and chat drink is usually my go to and with 2 people you will be spending at least $150 with their added gratitude tax. I don't think we ever spent less than that, then again our chats, have us sipping more than usual

My service at this lounge was not pleasing and I come here frequently . I was served by a bartender who appears to be an older man and he was being rude . His dominator was coming off as if he did not want to be there . He was ignoring my friends & I while we’re trying to order & being passive aggressive . This is not professional and he should be held accountable for his actions .

I think the music could have been a little lower so ppl. Can talk without havingvto scream and repeat themselve multiple times but everything eles was good

Excellent

I frequent this bar because it’s in my neighborhood and I have been a loyal patron up until this point. I’ve been served by Derek three times and his attitude has never been nice to me or others. On 1/25/24 Bartender DEREK , age 55, started closing the establishment around 1am when closing is in fact at 2. By 1:30 my brother and I were being forced out because “No one is here, you can say what you want to say and I don’t care. I’m not Katie, I close when I want; it’s raining you have to get out.” To be referred to as “nobody” when I religiously support this establishment is a complete slap in the face and utterly disrespectful. Katie is the bartender that normally serves me and she is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. When I asked for her, Derek was not pleased and said that she doesn’t work on Thursdays, as if I didn’t have a right to ask for her. I noticed another customer trying to order and ask questions, as she was not from the area and being that it was her first time, she was inquisitive. DEREK had the most dismissive countenance toward a first time patron and it made me so uncomfortable, I felt the need to engage in conversation with her, to show her that Brooklyn has a better reputation than what Derek was displaying. When my brother ordered a shandy, Derek refused to serve him until I repeated the order. I ordered two drinks and a shot— before I could sip the second drink, he slaps a to go cup in front of me and never brought the shot. Other employees can attest to my tolerance of alcohol, so that was not the issue. Derek simply did not want to be there. The point of going to a bar is to unwind from the stress of the day— my life is hard as it is, why am I being bullied by a bartender that clearly does not want to work at the establishment in which he is employed? Why are business hours not consistent with google? If I want to tell people about my neighborhood bar, should I tell them not to go on Thursdays to avoid being disrespected? I try to support my people as often as I can but the treatment I received was unacceptable and downright disrespectful. One of the employees from the kitchen even came out and apologized for my experience because “no one likes working with him”. As an establishment in the service industry, Sip n Chat needs employees that give consistent service, and discontinue employees who make paying customers feel like they are “nobody”. Derek is clearly unhappy in his role as bartender, and paying patrons as well as other employees are having a bad experience as a result. Correct it, please.
