Crush

Miscalculated tab, unvoided transaction. Crush is an okay place, I've been there a few times and usually enjoyed myself. It's low key and pretty friendly, so I took a friend with me who'd never been there before. I normally pay cash when I go to a bar, it's just easier. Unfortunately this particular evening I just hadn't hit the ATM and it wasn't all that busy so I used my credit card.

But when I saw my tab it looked high. I asked for an itemized one and they had overcharged me. Honest mistake. So they fixed that but then neglected to void the other amount that was reserved on my card, which caused me quite a bit of trouble the next day when Netflix tried to charge me my monthly payment because I was over my (very low) credit limit! I'm trying to rebuild my credit and this kind of thing sure doesn't help!

I phoned them and Steve told me the manager would probably give me a call and offer some kind of compensation (I would have settled for a couple free drinks) since this had caused me so much trouble, but I guess they couldn't be bothered, or Steve forgot to give him the message. Too bad. I might think twice about going there next time. I vote with my dollars, boys, and I don't think you did enough to make this right.…

Crushing competition!. This is definitely an overlooked place. It is a great place to go to avoid all the downtown drama. Crush is very innovative. There is a chalkboard that people can draw and write on in one of the back rooms. The couches and seating area stand apart from competitors. They do trivia that actually have intelligent participants that leave drama at the door. And, the gay and lesbian group get along well here.

The only areas of concern are the questionable staff. Management will target employees and give them selective scheduling w/o any reasoning and unfairly schedule the "pets" to bartend more and avoid being barbacks. Also, the owner/manager will sleep with customers on the couch after customers leave. Unfortunately, it isn't clear which couch this is!!!

Besides that, Crush rocks!…

Good food, real dining with bar. Went in there for a bite to eat, and got food better than expected. Nice choices and value. Not a 'bar place' in other words its not like so many other bars that put some folding tables up and call itself a pub/grill. This is a legit place to get some good food. The DJ is a joke though. Can't he get it when people are leaving and rather stand/eat outside in the snow than listen to him that its time to change the tunes, or that nobody is dancing?…

Amazing brunch. I had always heard that Crush had an awesome brunch, so some friends and I tried it out for our first and most certainly not our last time. To start off the bloody mary's were spicy and tasty. While we waited for our order there was free coffee cake and corn bread to hold us over. We got our meals and they were delicious. The stand out item was the chilaquiles. My friend, said it was the best egg dish she had had in a long time. We also had another scramble that was full of fresh garden vegtables and veggie sausage, which was fantastic, as well. Crush is a great new brunch place to add to my list of favorites.…
