Avoid Tommys Chop Shop Cape Town

What an absolutely awful experience we had. I used to love Tommys, hadn’t been for a while, and we took a friend for her birthday to relive the fond memories. From the second we walked in, the whole vibe had changed and is pretentious Cape Town to a tee. Why have a wrap around bar but scream at customers who stand at the wrap around bit, when there is NO signage saying otherwise, and it was never been a problem in the past. If you were 1mm out of “where you can stand”, the one bartender comes to scream at you. Add to that having to play foosball in silence bc they set up a tattoo pop-up RIGHT NEXT TO THE FOOSBALL TABLE. We comp**** when asked to keep it down and when we were about to start our 2nd game, a bouncer comes and grabs the table without explanation telling us we are done playing. We asked to speak to the manager just to understand the situation and the bartender told us “don’t come back, byyyye” instead of being professional and helpful and actually getting his superior… like you should in hospitality. I have a large platform I could use to talk about this, but I’d rather save my breath than have the **** PR replies I have seen on their Google reviews. Awful, awful place. Young and rude staff, although, the manager was actually professional and she must get kudos. Save your hard earned money for somewhere else that’s actually pleasant and don’t support the bs spot that Tommys has become.
