Melanie's Roti Grill - BRONX

I asked how much Hennessy is per shot, the bartender said $10. I then asked for a Hennessy Margarita and the guy at the bar took at least 5 minutes to make it. After I drank it, he then gives me a bill for $21.30I asked how is it this much, and he says cause it’s two shots of Hennessy. I didn’t ask for a double shot drink but was still forced to pay. The manager came and said that “That’s the way we make it” I’m like ma’am he didn’t even know how to make the drink to begin with.Eventually I paid in cash and left. The receipt was sketchy looking as hell. No markings that notates the actual drink that I got. Never ever going back, and honestly it wasn’t my first choice to begin with. Q44 was closed ??‍

I also had a whisky sour and margarita while I waited. They have happy hour on Sundays (although the whisky sour didn’t qualify. This was worth the 15 minute walk from home in my new neighborhood. I’ll be back. Note: I ate half of the chicken before taking the picture.
