I Hate Vessel

• "I would be very curious to see how Vessel responds to this?" Well, if the moderator allowed comments, then perhaps there would be a second side to this story. I go to Vessel a lot, and I do not have ANY question that the author has some issues that have less to do with Vessel as it does with her version of the events. It's a shame that the Seattle Weekly will allow such poor writing to contribute to their paper.

• I hate pretentious bars. As a short girl, here's how it usually goes for me: 1) get ignored 2) get carded 3) get condescended to 4) get ignored again 5) never go back

• It doesn't matter what kind of beverage you order, as long as you're acting polite and aren't totally shithoused. If you ask nicely and don't look like you just rolled out of the gutter, there is absolutely no excuse for your server to be condescending or scornful, no matter how "posh" the place is. That's just common business sense. To me, being incapable of treating all of your customers with respect is not classy, it's pretentious, and what that says to me is that you're more interested in the appearance of your business than staying in business.

• Fairmont Oly's Shuckers, just up the street treats me like prince even though I dress like a degenerate 20-something who works for an alt-weekly.

• SWEET! I recently moved here from NYC and have been looking for more places like this. I'll pop in next time I'm homesick.

• Sounds like Vessel needs to pull the stick out of its ass if it wants to survive. An over-priced bar treating patrons like shit in the middle of a recession? Yeah, good luck with that.

• Yeah, I can't say that I'd pop into Vessel for a couple of shots. And I've never had the service be anything but gracious.

• If you wanted shots, maybe you should've gone to Elephant and Castle across the street.
