re: Pelican house is awful

I would like to join the pile here. Been to PH twice, the first was horrible but I gave them the proverbial second chance.

Walked in with six people and ordered five beers and a glass of bourbon on the rocks. Bartender brings me the beers and takes my card and closes it out for the round. I take the five beers over to the table and come back for my bourbon.... And wait, and wait, and wait while he chats up some girls. I finally get his attention and ask about my drink. He informs me that a bar back has to go get a new bottle from the back but no bar back is available. Goes back to chatting with girls while other bartenders pretend I am invisible. Bar back finally finishes whatever the hell he was up to and goes to get the bottle. Brings it back and sets it on bar, with my glass of melting ice. I tell him to pour and he informs me that bartender (still chatting up the chicks) has to do the pour. I am now at bar with glass of melting ice and unopened bottle of bourbon. Bartender is eight feet away and ignores me. Other bartender even goes over and tells him I am waiting. I have finally had enough, drain my melted ice on counter, reach over and grab the bottle and crack it open. He loses it and gets to me in 1.2 seconds flat. Which proves my hypothesis that he was aware I was waiting. Grabs bottle and short pours me. I go to table and everyone is almost done with beers. Finish round and leave. Last time there.

Sorry about the rant but far and away worst service in a bar EVER. And I spend an inordinate amount of time in bars.
