Was steph thompson at The Banknote Bar a mag?
I visited The Banknote Bar for the first time in August. The prices are quite reasonable, and they offer daily specials. However, the service could use improvement, as our waiter never checked in to ask how our meals were. It was also quite warm inside, suggesting that the air conditioning wasn't functioning well (they use an older style, not central AC). The food was okay, but the pasta had dry chicken, so I wouldn'... View all feedback.

What Pamella R dislikes about The Banknote Bar:
The waiter provided us with only one menu to share, taking it from a large stack, so it didn't seem like a necessity. Both ladies' restrooms were out of order. The food lacked flavor, and the air conditioning was turned off midway through our visit during a heatwave. The staff appeared a bit irritable, which I can understand given the heat!

Horrible services my friend and I wanted to just use the washroom we understood last call already happened we explained to one of the workers outside that we just wanted to use the bathroom , he was kind and let us in but one worker very rude and inconsiderate asked us to pay $10 to use the washroom. What kind of establishment charges $10 to use the washroom when the kitchen and bar is closed. Horrible service

Simply very poor service. 15mins after ordering drinks the waiter hadn't even put it through and the place only had a few customers. Very disappointing.

I ubered to this bar on June 18 with a few friends who are women and immediately the bouncer saw me in shorts and said I wasn’t allowed in. Meanwhile I noticed women who had their legs exposed were being allowed in within a heartbeat. The bouncer also said that I wasn’t allowed in also because I had a fanny pack on me, all while women who were going inside had purses draped on their shoulders… This was an embarrassment not only to myself at that moment but to this establishment. How disgusting that in 2022 we’re enforcing these arbitrary dress codes? Also, don’t label your business as “casual” and then deny people who dress casually- what a waste of my uber money to not even be allowed in.

My band Soule Food played St Patrick's Day to a packed and happy crowd of St Patty's day people and we had so much fun seeing you dance and sing alone with us. James and his great staff are the best and treated us like gold as we brought in another St Patrick's Day for 2018! Loved it. Check us out at soulefoodband on Facebook.

A perfectly good pub with a nice ambience and good food. No real patio though, albeit has a couple of outside tables. Been there many times and always had good service. Nice bar to sit at if you are there alone.
