The majority of the staff were welcoming, friendly and wonderful. The bartender and service the evening of Feb 26th was awful. He could not have made us feel less welcomed. We stood in the bar area for a solid 5+ minutes, waiting for the bartender to finish chatting with someone who was working on her laptop. When he finally acknowledged us, we asked for the food & drink menu. It was at 9:30pm, just after the Clemson basketball game. We were told, “food’s done at 9”. The bar and cafe/small plates is advertised to be open 4-10pm or later. He didn’t ask if we wanted a drink; he just said what he said and then went back behind the bar. Everything at the Abernathy was great. The male bartender that night did not represent the hotel well at all, in our opinion.
