This bar closed early without warning one night and a security guard forced all patrons to leave. Our party had just purchased a nice bottle of champagne, and at no point were we told that the bar would be closing hours before the advertised time. We did not have enough time to finish the bottle that we ordered, and were not permitted to take home our expensive purchase. For a bar that purports to provide a relatively "upscale" experience, I felt that were were treated quite poorly and taken advantage of.

I see a lot of bad reviews lately within the last 3-2 weeks. Have you taken action to not let that repeat again ?
