Awful. I don't normally write reviews but we were just harassed by staff here. 6pm on a Saturday we walk in, through the open door with a "please wait to be seated sign," only for a group of drunk individuals at the the bar to start yelling at us that they're closed. They then say they work there, although we had no way of knowing this as no one was in uniform or behind the bar. Someone started saying that there is anthrax at the bar and that is why they were closed. We pause somewhat confused only for a blonde “server/bartender” to start yelling louder at us. (I will also add that one member of our party is hard of hearing and literally could not tell what was going on or why we were being yelled at.) We leave and as we are standing outside trying to understand what just happened and figuring out where to go next, the blonde storms outside to continue yelling "WE'RE CLOSED, you can leave now." Next, she decides to start insulting us and for some reason our rain jackets in particular offended her. One of the guys literally had to drag her back inside. I have never been literally chased out of an establishment while being verbally attacked by a drunk employee for daring to walk inside the open door during normal business hours.

Want to be verbally abused by staff? Enjoy walking into an onslaught of complete disarray? Always wanted to enjoy your night with drunk and abusive staff? Well then, head on over to The Exchange for just this experience! Imagine it's a rainy Saturday evening. 6ish, you see a "please wait to be seated" sign at an open door. You walk in and immediately start getting bombarded and yelled at by people sitting at the bar. They say that they are staff. That they're closed. There's anthrax at the bar. Then a server/bartender with long blonde hair keeps yelling at you even louder. We turn around and head back outside. Outside we're trying to make a game plan for where to head next. Same blonde comes running out the still open door and starts yelling "we're closed" and insults our jackets. Literally just got done with a downpour and you're such a child to comment on this. Great {insert sarcasm}. Another guy from inside had to literally drag this chick back into the bar. I have never been treated like this from any establishment. You'd think that post pandemic you'd treat your patrons a little better.

We went for lunch and ended up leaving with our food in boxes, because it took so long. No sympathy, no apologies. Just looked at us like we were crazy for "leaving already" after 40 minutes.
