Cafe Citron - Calumet-Norvelt

I bought a ticket to a Bar Crawl. It was okay. I didn't get to try any of the food.

Great place for dancing and meeting people. Been going there for 7 years off and on.As of recently (5/4/24) stay clear or be wary of petite short blonde bartender (on highest floor; although she probably rotates between the floors).She bumped into a female customer and called security to handle the situation as opposed to apologizing and continuing about her business. Security asked customer to leave.

I had an appalling experience at Café Citron recently, primarily due to the behavior of one of the bartenders, a blonde woman. Upon attempting to navigate through the crowded space, she forcefully shoved me aside without any courtesy, prompting me to politely ask for an apology. Instead of acknowledging her actions, she proceeded to yell at me and even threatened to involve security.To add insult to injury, when I attempted to address the issue, she blatantly shifted blame onto me, refusing to take any accountability for her disrespectful behavior. This was witnessed not only by my friends but also by other bystanders present. Despite the clear evidence of her misconduct, the bouncers unjustly ejected me from the premises, citing reasons that remain unclear to me.Furthermore, the manager's lack of concern regarding the incident was deeply disappointing. It's disheartening to see such disregard for customer satisfaction and basic human decency. Moreover, the consistent rudeness displayed towards me and my friends, who are Afro-Latinx, raises concerns of discrimination based on ethnicity, especially considering the bartender's differential treatment towards patrons with fair skin and fine hair.In conclusion, my experience at Café Citron was marred by unprofessionalism, disrespect, and apparent discrimination. It's imperative for establishments like Café Citron to prioritize inclusivity and address such instances of misconduct promptly. I sincerely hope that steps will be taken to rectify these issues and ensure a welcoming environment for all patrons in the future.

My friend needed water and we were told by our bartender we can not order water without purchasing another drink after we had already ordered drinks with the bartender. The service was not great and at one point i was almost charged $8 after going back and forth over a cup of water my friend needed. As a place that serves alcohol i would expect them to be able to spare a cup of water but all the bartenders cared about was trying to make us pay and refused us water AFTER already having drinks ordered

My phone got pickpocketed while I was ordering a drink. Management did not do anything.
