Epique Lounge

Good times and good people.
Met lots of cool people and got to party with style and class.
Highly recommend.

A small, cool venue in a great part of town. My friends and I have booked this entire venue out on a few occasions, and brought hundreds of guests to fill the joint. Oh, and did I mention that our friends are booze hounds, which = $$$$$ for these dudes. Aside from our parties being absolutely sensational and everyone having a blast for the mega-​birthday celebrations … the only issues on each visit to this place — has been rooted with the staff’s actions. These actions appear endorsed by management who were directly witnessing all events.
1^st problem: snarky bartender. example, upon my late arrival at about 1am with a group of friends ready to boogie down, I inquire to order a (first) bottle of vodka. Bartender only offers grey goose at $ 250. So be it … it was yummy. In a good mood and all fired up, I ask to order another bottle of vodka, but re-​inquire with this dude saying «are you certain grey goose at $ 250 is the ONLY vodka bottles you have???» then admitting yes there are others. I proceed with a bottle of smirnoff at $ 160. Problem: lying and misrepresenting bartender, who smirked and shirked as he gave me the second bottle of vodka.
2^nd problem: they run out of glassware. Worse than that … they then go around swiping all of our (drunk) friends half full glasses. Stupidity.
3^rd problem: one of our lovely aussie girl friends was a bit rambunctious (as she gets) and proceeded to spray the bar gun’s water on people. I got wet. No major biggie. But how the snarky bartender and management handled this was ridiculous. They became verbally abusive, even yelling at this girl. Was she over-​stepping the fun factor — sure. But are they in the business of serving booze and should just be more damned cool about things (especially intoxicated ppl) — absolutely. They further went on to state that a piece of plastic had broken off and demanded $ 200. She hadn’t even recalled the incident, so she was no help, and merely to avoid any conflict one of our group offered to pay the «fine». I just find this absurd. I sure as hell wouldn’t have offered to pay them $ 200 for this piece. The jury is still out on this one (as the private booking event was just last week) so we’ll see if/​how the bar owner deals with this.
So — Epique management (or staff). When you do finally come across this review … please do make a reply. I welcome your public communication.
