This past Friday night, a group of Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill residents headed out for some drinks, but their usual favorite watering holes (the bar called “Bar” at 280 Smith and Zombie Hut at 273 Smith) weren’t an option: “Barbar smelled funny, and Z-hut was too crowded,” reported the reader. Instead, the group decided to check out Quench, the lounge on the corner of Sackett and Smith. They ordered cocktails, but then learned that the bar is cash-only. One member of the party left the bar to grab some money from a nearby ATM. That’s when the trouble began…

“The owner and the bouncer got all huffy thinking that we weren’t going to pay. Then, it turned out that the drinks were terrible/un-drinkable, but they wouldn’t give a refund or remake the drinks and told us they didn’t want our kind of people there anyway! Now, they could have meant ‘the kind of people who would say something about a disgusting drink,’ but looking around, the other patrons were 100% guys who shave their arms and girls with fake tans, so we left the paid-for drinks on the bar and went home.”

Damn, girl! We hate to besmirch a bar that has bestowed us many a cheap happy hour—we’ve never been given any flak while sipping their refreshing $5 mojitos. (Granted, we have been hit on by men who were old enough to be our dads while we were ordering said cocktails, but that’s a small price to pay for such potent $5 drinks!) That said, this anonymous tip doesn’t seem to be an isolated occurrence—we found a couple more haters with similar complaints on Citysearch. Has anyone else had problems at Quench?
