Secondly, I heard a rumor that the owners of the Elbo Room (and now, apparently, the Sports Page) will close the Elbo and move their operations to Sports Page. Also, a friend of the PBR recently admitted to drunkenly ripping the toilet in the men's bathroom at Elbo Room from its moorings several years ago. This could explain why every time I go in there, it looks like the Great Deluge and not the kind Raoul Duke would approve of. Despite the fact that the facilities at Elbo Room resemble a public restroom in NYC, I always have a good time at that place and get quick and friendly service. The same cannot be said for a certain north Peoria bar called Kouri's.
If you weren't aware, Kouri's (formerly Mulligan's) has been reviewed by the PBR before and the results weren't that great. Now, I can officially put Kouri's on the shitlist for several reasons.
1. Douchebags
The place was filled with them, no more needs to be said on this topic.
2. Crappy service
Upon entering Kouri's I stepped up to the outside bar where I was ignored by several members of the wait-staff until finally the bartender gave me (half) his attention. While he looked over the top of my head, I ordered a pitcher and some shots. The drinks came and he blurted out the total. No, "did you want to run a tab?" just the total. He may as well have said "give me your fucking money and don't bother me until you're out of booze and I can get more of your money." That's exactly the way I felt. The best part? He didn't even give me glasses to go with the pitcher, I had to ask for them. How in The Fuck am I supposed to drink a pitcher without a glass? It would be one thing if it were just me but apparently people don't like to drink out of the same receptacle.
3. Ridiculously expensive drinks
$8.50 for a pitcher, 'nuff said
That's all for now folks! Be sure to leave your hate in the comments section, it's the only thing that keeps this site going.
Cheers!
I'll agree with the douches but I've never had an problems with the service. There is one retarded bartender I can think of though...
ReplyDeleteI would say that for some reason it's just me that always has bad service but a shitload of my friends have had the same problem. Maybe we should try dressing like douches and we wouldn't have that problem!
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty much exactly the same level of service I have always gotten at Kouri's as well. Something about being a middle-aged professional bartender must give one a false sense of entitlement.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I Go to Kouri's too. Same deal.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm guessing we won't be meeting at Kouri's in a couple of weeks?
ReplyDeleteYou are corect sir!
ReplyDeleteNothing but horrible service from there...they always have the excuse "we are short staffed tonight" me and my husband went in recently to give them another shot and guess what? They tried to charge our credit card $80 for 2 bottles of Miller Lite! Then tried to act like it was an inconvenience for them to fix it and we should have just said "fuck it" and let them have it! After 15 minutes and about 10 employees later they figured it out! Now,were they just trying to rip us off or was it a simple mistake?
ReplyDeleteJust came across this site, Kouri's Pub is officially worse if possible. The one Guy you could always count on to be nice Or stand up to the shity staff and fix problems, Kevin, is gone. He quit.
