The restroom had a fish smell. It was gross and the smell lingered to the front. It was horrible

So I went here for the first time last night. I will say, first and foremost, I love the atmosphere here and we had fun. But the guy behind the bar was extremely rude with my friends and I. We would order drinks and he would just nod his head and it felt like we were bothering him. Then a few times, he didnt give us our drinks and was just on his phone. So we ended up having to ask him multiple times basically reminding him that we had ordered some drinks. Then when we asked for the tab, he didnt provide us with a receipt and just told us the amount. I would love to return to this place but I do not want to be served by him again. Unfortunately I did not catch his name.
