La Bodega

Today was ladies night at la bodega so my girls and I decided to try la bodega for the first time, and we had a horrible experience.
When we arrived we specifically asked the server which drinks were on the house and they showed it to us. When we asked for the bill they ended up charging us for 3 of our drinks, and the bartender insisted that he told us that it wasn’t on the house from the start. It wasn’t just that, it was the fact that he was extremely rude to all of us, telling us the he was right and the reason why he didn’t mention that the drinks we ordered wasn’t on the house was because he «assumed» that every customer in la bodega already knew that the cocktails were not free. Honestly it was our first time here, and we even asked him specifically if it was free and he said yes. If he had told us when we ordered the cocktails that it wasn’t free, clearly we wouldn’t have ordered it because we came here for the free drinks on ladies night in the first place. We demanded to see the manager but apparently he wasn’t available. The server who took our Order ended up paying for the drinks, and he was nice about it. But the bartender who was making a big fuss of it all was the most disrespectful bartender ever. I won’t recommend coming here. They’ll be nice to you at first, trying to get u to buy expensive drinks, but when it comes down to customer service you can expect nothing but rudeness and disrespect from the bartender.

Came here for happy hours on a Sunday and surprisingly, they do serve Monkey 47 here. During happy hours, it’s quite reasonably priced at RM25 as well, which was good. However, while I got mine with tonic, it was just bland. I wonder if they put too little gin, or too much tonic? It was quite a disappointment as I was really expecting something.
Happy hours for beer in La Bodega — if you’re a beer person — isn’t the most fantastic thing to be honest. They do not have a special price, but they serve it the usual price, without GST and service charge. It means that you get a 16% off the usual price, which is good, but not awesome in my opinion.
Credits shall go to their tapas here though. La Bodega had been a place that I always go for tapas, and I’m glad that even though they are opening up new branches in town now, their standard is still maintained for their food. If you are someone who likes lamb, please try their lamb cutlet tapas! Greatly recommend it!
Also, happy hours on Sunday is till closing! So, if you don’t have an early day the next day, you could enjoy yourself :)
