Red Jug Pub, Oneonta NY

This bar is totally unprofessional, Brett the manager has made my friends and I feel so uncomfortable. He has a vendetta against one of my friends and creates toxic drama for no reason. He has SA’d one of my friends on the cow path of Oneonta and this bar promotes his misogyny and arrogance. I do NOT recommend this bar to anyone.

Normally I love the Red Jug. However today the bartender acted as if we had ended her entire world, and proceeded to serve us a round of the most assaulting green tea shots that I’ve ever had.

I usually throughly enjoy going to the red Jug, but my experience today made me never want to return. Firstly, the bar tender was extremely rude and had an attitude the second we walked into the bar. Secondly, we all order a round of green tea shots and let me tell you it was probably one of the worst green tea shots I’ve had in my entire life.

Horrible, don't recommend. The people who work there are totally unprofessional. There are way better bars in Oneonta. It's always mission impossible to get in even if you are legal. If someone there has a vendetta against you they won't let you in

Celebrating St. Patrick's day with my friends. Horrible service, she gave one of our friends her drink, and it took her 20 minutes to give the remaining 2 people in our party our drinks. They didn't have pretty basic liquors, it was hard to get a simple 2 ingredient drink. They had one bartender working on one of the most busiest days of the year. She was all over the place, and could not make a drink. Very disappointed.

UPDATE: Reducing to 1 Star from 2. Visited again on a Saturday around 3: 30pm. Bar was not packed with college students at the time since it was so early, so we assumed we'd be able to get some drinks. You know what they say about assumptions. We sat at the bar for at least 10 minutes before a bartender even acknowledged our presence. Once they did, we stated we wanted to do a tasting/challenge. Filled out the sheet, and were ready in less than a minute. Our bartender served a multitude of others at a snails pace while we sat waiting and waiting and waiting. After about 30 minutes with no drink, we gave up and left. Went to the Black Oak and were immediately acknowledged, welcomed and served.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: They skip your music when you pay $3 per song to fast pass it. Also if you aren't early and get a seat at the bar, prepare for long wait times for drinks. Finally found a space at the bar to get a drink and waited 7-10 mins before I was served. If you're young, like to party, and are looking for a crowded bar, this is the spot. If you're just looking to relax, have a good time, and have a couple drinks, look elsewhere.

Great place. There are drinking challenges where you can earn shirts. Beer selection is great. I'm a fan of the vodka lemonades. There are TVs at the bar

I normally enjoy this bar, but after standing out in the cold for 45 mins respecting the policy to wait before you are seated. Then bouncer let in 4 groups of college kids just walk in past us without waiting. We asked for explanation and they were clear excuses to let friends in. You have now lost good paying local customers.

This place has turned into a joke. The management here is pointless just like the staff. It's ran by college kids that just don't care or just not good at their job. If you are going to just let in your friends and not other paying customers that's fine there are other bars in town.

The Pub is as good as ever! The service is top notch, stellar, even! The only thing was that I went on a night when there weren't many people there, which can both be a blessing and a curse ‍️ but if you're looking for a great time at a great bar in Oneonta, N. Y, go to the Red Jug Pub!

The pub smells horrible today. We still smell it 4 hours later even we stayed there for only 10 minutes. Bartenders are not friendly either.

It was horrible service. I went out with my husband and friend. I watched as they were ignored and the female bartender only paid attention to 4 females and never once looked up to acknowledge any other person. There were at least 5 to six at the counter with helpers, and yet most were fixed on helping those who already had a drink in hand.
Finally a gap was about to appear and untold my friend to get ready to take it. He did and still was ignored until he said hey, when your done with them I would like to order. She took his order and left him in the middle of his order. It took forever for him to get his drinks, and as soon as a new younger female came, they were taken care of quickly and assertively.

It seemed the focus that night were for certain age females. I guess service during the summer is better during the fall. The atmosphere was more pleasant and diverse.

3.7, Nice place, but very crowded and hard to get up to the bar to order a drink. It's still a cool place to hang out though so I'll be back.
