Moronic security deterred me from getting a drink here- the guy was talking to someone else out on the sidewalk then tried to get in my face acting like I was supposed to know he was a security guard. Thanks but no thanks, will never give this place my business again. Honestly wouldn't surprise me to hear this place found itself on the wrong end of a lawsuit with their hiring practices.

Bouncer was not very well informed about foreign forms of ID. I presented him my US issued ID to which he questioned the validity of it. That’s okay, I understand not everyone is familiar with this kind of identification. But when my husband stepped in and asked if we could have a bartender look at it, especially since we’ve been coming to Gin Mill for years and some of the staff recognize us when we come in. This for some reason made the bouncer become instantly hostile. He got in my husbands face and began yelling at him and behaving irrationally. “Do you think I don’t know how to do my job!? You think you know people here!? What’s that guys name huh!?”I'm not writing this because I want an apology from the bar, honestly. But because that entire interaction made me feel extremely unsafe and unwelcome at a place I thought I was considered a regular at. My husband profusely apologized to this bouncer yet he still behaved as if he was going to get violent with him. I'm angry, and I'm not coming back.This is a warning to everyone but specially for my foreign fellows you might not be greeted with respect.To Gin Mill, I hope you invest more in educating your staff on how to greet and deal with those circumstances. I'm really sad to see a place I liked so much doing so bad. Do better. I'm done. I don't wish being humiliated like that to anyone.

False advertising - I normally like this joint, but for there to be no signs and then tell you when tab is to be paid that all deals are excluded from St Paddy's day is a scam.

Service was cheaper than expected and I expected pretty low. Blonde bartender was uneducated, slow, rude and worst of all.. just a drunk, terrible bartender. She was the worst part of an already bad experience. Long story short.. don't bother.. terrible drinks and rude staff.

Unfortunately, my recent visit to was marred by a rude bartender. Despite being a regular customer, I was met with hostility and disrespectful comments throughout my visit. The bartender's demeanor was unprofessional and completely unacceptable. As someone who values good service and enjoys patronizing local establishments, I was deeply disappointed by this, experience. I hope the management takes steps to address this issue and ensure that all customers are treated with respect and courtesy in the future.

Great tater tots! This is def a bar where you'll meet a lot of locals and regulars. Everyone is friendly and open to being social. The bartenders are really nice too.
