text: Rating a venue is always one of the hardest things to me to do while trying to not let the actual performance sway my revue.  On this given night I saw an awesome show.  The openers were even pretty good.  However, I am rating Stand Up Live and not the show.  The ticket booth was quick and efficient and got my will call tickets no problem.  Went to the door and was shown to our seats no problem.  We did not have an issue with space and were comfortable where we sat.  Now comes time for the drinks.  I have read the reviews on here so I knew what to expect.  My fiance ordered a mojito and I ordered a Blue Moon.  For some reason the waiter tried to upsell me on a shot of Grand Marnier in my beer, but I declined.  I understand an upsell, but really a boilermaker? Come on?  Her cocktails were pretty weak especially given the price, but again we expected this due to other reviews.  The venue was nice overall.  They had a restroom attendant, which I cannot stand because I do not like feeling pressured to tip when I use the restroom and also see not point in washing my hands if I have to reach in and grab a dirty dollar afterwards to tip someone.  I think though overall I would have really liked the place had it not been for the drink policy.  A lot of what they do seems downright deceptive to me.  I have never seen a place not count a food item towards an item minimum, but they do not.  Their drink prices are outrageous and their drinks are pretty bad at any price.  They count liquors like Bacardi and Smirnoff as top shelf with an upcharge.   Then of course the forced gratuity.  Pay your people if you want them paid well, but don't force me to.  The funny thing is I usually tip 20%, but their forced 15% turned me off from tipping a penny more.  I just cannot get past these things as like I said before I feel they are decieving.
