Recess at CollegeTown

If I had to puke it would be on the table I would. Staff, disgusting, no manners. If something is wrong there is no investigation as to who is truly in the wrong. I was by myself and supposedly "threatened" a family of 9. No I did not. Just an accusation no evidence. Kicked out 2 times based on the pro and no evidence. Trash, couldn’t even let me talk what I expected just out. Watch out for this place. 🗑️🗑️

My 10 friends and I are alumni, in town for the Alabama game. I had contacted the bottle service girl/crew two months prior to the weekend. We booked a table with a set minimum that THEY told us. Gave them a deposit and everything. I was happy to pay whatever the minimum was. I got a call 3 hours before we were set to arrive, literally in the middle of the football game to tell me I was "out bid." I wasn’t even given the option to pay more. Nothing was clear, so when we arrived not only was the promised table not available, they wanted to sit us in a section where there were literal picnic tables and chairs. There was no private space and it was just a disaster. We said it was just unacceptable and left. "We will give you your deposit back tomorrow." Just a clown show of a bar….we weren’t their average non paying college kids. We were ready to have fun and celebrate this win. Lol…they missed out.

Put a deposit down a table 2 months ago and they text us an hour before that we got "outbid". There never was a bidding process, they just gave the tables away for the bottle girls’ friends. DONT GET A TABLE HERE. The girls were incredibly rude.

If you order a bottle and go to the dance floor and leave your bottle on the table, either the waitresses take your bottle or they don't secure your table (or bottle) and it walks away. Seems suspicious.

Great location and a fun spot to grab some drinks. Someone always ends up in the pool.

I want to preface that the bottle girl I’ve been working with has been nothing but professional and I know is doing her job, but I can’t say the same about the Recess Management Team. I’m an alumni coming in for a game this weekend, reached out over a month ago to secure a table for me and my friend’s first trip back to Tally in a few years. We were confirmed for a table with a set minimum / sent the table deposit to secure our spot. Please explain why you accepted higher bids and kicked an already confirmed table out? I completely understand wanting to get more revenue out of the tables, but to give me 48 hour notice that we are being booted feels like bad business. Also, we haven’t gotten our deposit back because their Venmo is frozen so I have to wait 1-3 business days? But we had to send it to confirm our table that we didn’t get? Update: took over a week to get the deposit back.

Went here for my first time on 4th of July night. Cover was $10. Worth it for the great rooftop atmosphere, fun crowd and great music from the DJ. $10 Bacardi buckets are a great deal too. Only complaint I have is that the bartenders of the indoor bar were a little rude and disrespectful with attitude. There were at least 5 bartenders and it took them a while to get my attention for a drink. They constantly walked past me multiple times knowing that I was trying to get a drink and they were completely ignoring me right even after seeing me at the counter. They need to learn to be more attentive to their customers. When I finally got someone's attention, I ordered a redbull vodka. Thought I was gonna pay between $10-15 but was charged almost $20 for it cause he made it a double which I never even asked for, and I think the automatic 20% gratuity charge is a little ridiculous especially if you're ignored multiple times and having to tolerate disrespect just to get a drink and still having to tip after getting bad service like that? Train your bartenders to do better and not ignore a customer right in front of their face when they're not even serving anybody else. May or may not come back to this place because of the rude bartenders, but still give props for the good vibes crowd and atmosphere of the place.
