I went out for my friends birthday on Saturday. I have been coming to the blind pig for years. However, when we were ready to leave I went to close out my tab. The bartender was extremely rude and because of that my cousin and I decided not to leave a tip. I went back to our table and we were ordering our Uber. That is when I felt a wad of wet paper hit my head. I told my cousin that I had felt it, but I thought it was someone being silly. It was when a random guy came up to me and saw the bartender throw it at me. He said, " If I were you I would not let that slide, I saw the bartender throw it." I confronted her without being disrespectful and I asked to speak to the manager. She called me a name and asked security to take me out. Once, I was out I spoke to the head of management and explained the situation. I knew they would take her word over mine. Luckily, he was a professional and took his time to listen to my story. He told me to wait as he would go speak to them and listen to their side of the story. They claimed I was being disrespectful which was not the case- the problem here was they didnt get a tip because of their attitude. As I was waiting, I could see her smiling and laughing with her co-workers. She came out and loudly shouted for us to get off the property as I was on the sidewalk with my friends. She threatened to call the cops. I called them instead. They came I asked for the tapes to be pulled. May I reiterate that the guy who is the head of management was very polite and honest. We called back the next day and he indeed confirmed that he had seen that on the video. As for me and my friends, we will not be coming back! We are completely disgusted with the bartenders lack of professionalism. Kudos to the guy working as the head of security and nighttime manager!

I have long been partial to the blind pig. But tonight, memorial day, May 29, 2017, the blind pig and its staff separated itself from the rest. Towards the end of the night, my roommate and I (both former Army infantrymen) ordered two shots of Jameson for our fallen brothers, and set them at a reserved seat at the main bar. These two shots remained there, long after closing time at this establishment. Never have we been shown this level of respect. And because of this, the blind pig will forever hold a special place in our hearts. I would like to thank, specifically the staff tonight (Murphy and Anthony) as well as the rest of the blind pigs employees and owners for their display of respect for those no longer with us. Thank you Blind Pig. What you did tonight was huge. And we will not Forget that sentiment.

I was in the Blind Pig last night, and was on the patio with some girlfriends. As I was walking in to pay my tab I fainted from heat exhaustion. Within seconds the staff (Brandon and Andre), were there to the rescue. They forced me to drink ice water, even orange wedges (for potassium as one of the guys was a former medic), had ice on my neck, and made me feel safe and comfortable until I was able to walk and get home safe. I was completely blown away by the hospitality and incredible customer service that I received in what was otherwise a terrifying situation. Ladies, you can feel safe in this establishment and I will most definitely be back (maybe when its not so hot outside). Thank you.

I typically really like this place, but last night I got shafted by a bar tender in a terrible mood. Ordered 3 royal flushs to split with friends and got 3 shots of crown royal. Im not mad that I ended up with a triple crown, even though it was $21. Im mad that Ashley treated me like an idiot then tried to get me thrown out instead of fixing the situation. I was being nothing but nice about it, and so was the manager that handled everything. Ashley just turned nasty really quick, something a bartender should learn to control.

Hated it!! Everything about this place is discussing. Management is very very unprofessional. Staff and night manager tried to rape a girl in an ally and proceeded to beat her up after people heard her screams. Do not go here if you dont want to "give it up to management". Could not believe believe this when I saw it. Girl was so scared that she didnt inform police because they said they would kill her family. Please do not give this aweful establishment any sort of revinue to forward their harassment.

This nasty girl was bartending who was rude as hell. My boyfriend didnt leave a good tip when we cashed out after 4 drinks. She chased him down to confront him about the tip and then had security throw him out. I realized I had my jacket behind the bar so I went back and she got physically aggressive with me to which the security guard manhandled me out the door. Just beware, if you dont leave a good tip, regardless of service, you will be kicked out.

The girl bartender was nice, but the guy taking the ID skipped past us even though we were obviously there first. When I mentioned that we were there first he acted as if I was in the wrong. My advice to the management would be to hire people who care about everyone and arent biased. This isnt the first time this has happened to us. We probably wont be back because there are more friendly places to play games in the neighborhood.

Went there on a Friday night and they charged my boyfriend three times for our tab according to his bank statement. I wouldnt trust them with your money. They also misplaced/stole my friends debit cards a few weeks back. Ive heard other horror stories and the rest of these reviews should be enough to convince you not to go. But if you do go, pay cash.

This place is awful. The bar staff tried to confiscate my ID because they thought I was trying to steal their beanbags (which my friends returned right when we were finished). The female bartender/manager literally stole my beer out of my hand and sicced a bouncer on me to kick me out. Id absolutely never go back and give 0 stars if I could

Split-level, patchy bar with awkward ramps and stairs everywhere. I can only imagine the drunk falls in this place. Two bars and lots of games both inside and out. Girls bathroom is a nightmare, placed in between the throughway between the two bars. Mostly 20-somethings being raucous. Not my spot, but I know people who would like it.

I use to love this bar until a female bartender called my girlfriend a nasty word because she put money in the juke box and wanted her money back because the DJ played over the juke box. The female bartender called her a "B" word because there was a sign but there was never a sign on the juke box saying it was currently inactive.

One of my favorite little bars ever! Maybe its because two of my favorite people in the world work there! Go see Ashley and Blaine! You wont be disappointed. So much to do here: cornhole, giant Jenga, beer pong, arcade games, pool, bring your pooches in on Tuesday and Thursday! You just cant ask for much more!
