A Dry Experience at Dirty Dawgs There's a certain expectation when one visits a bar - to enjoy a night filled with fun, laughter, and a sense of camaraderie. Unfortunately, my recent visit to Dirty Dawgs was far from this picture, with the establishment falling short in an area that is fundamental to their business - hospitality. Firstly, it's important to note that this bar charges a heavy $20 cover fee for minors, a fact that left me with raised eyebrows. But what truly spoiled my experience was their policy of not providing free tap water. When I, the designated driver for the evening, asked for a glass of tap water, I was asked to pay $2. The justification? They don't 'make money on minors' - an explanation that seemed rather odd considering I wasn’t a minor and they already charge minors a cover fee. In a world where we are trying to promote responsible drinking and the critical role of designated drivers, Dirty Dawgs seems to be swimming against the current. Charging for tap water, a basic commodity, and especially to those ensuring the safe journey home for others, is simply not in good spirit. This isn't about the $2, it's about a principle, a principle of basic hospitality and respect towards patrons. At Dirty Dawgs, I felt this was sorely lacking. A bar is not just about the drinks it serves, but the atmosphere it fosters and the respect it shows to its patrons. Sadly, my experience at Dirty Dawgs left me thirsting for a more hospitable environment.
