One bad apple can spoil the bunch! Last weekend (9/8/2007) a few friends and I celebrated a birthday party at Maloney’s – a place we frequented often. Earlier in the night my friend purchased a Midori Margarita for $12 (which sounds like a rip off already!). Then at around 1pm my friend orders the same drink for his wife at the upstairs bar and the bar back charges him $17 for the same drink! Ironically, the designated driver of the group who did not drink was kicked out of the bar because he questioned the bartender refused to purchase the overpriced drink. After we were kicked out we talked to the supervisor on shift and he told us the bartender was right to request us to be exited from the bar and the bartender accused of stealing because we didn’t buy his costly concoction. We left angry because this individual ruined what was supposed to be a celebratory night. My friends and I will never visit that bar again and if you value your money I suggest you don’t either! I have heard of bars that take advantage of drunken patrons by ramping drink prices at the end of the night but never thought such a reputable place would participate in such unscrupulous business practices.
Pros: Crowded meet market
Cons: Bartenders overcharge for drinks to steal from drunken patrons

I really like this bar because it is very big and it is not a huge rip off like some of the other bars / clubs in the gas lamp. This bar has a huge downstairs area as well as a more hip upstairs area. with a patio for smoking. On weekends the crowd is usually younger, it is a good crowd not all the guys/girls dressed up for the clubs. Tends to be the more down to earth crowd. Lines are also usually not very long, get there by 10:30 should be no line at all and usually the cover is no more than $5. The drinks are also moderatly priced. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a good bar scene but doesnt want to deal with the clubs and the $15 drinks.
Pros: Bar is very large and has different levels, easy to get a drink and fairly priced
Cons: Sometimes there is a line to get to the upstairs area.
