Windies Sports Bar, a Hot Ass Mess, "Where is the chicken?"


Now, I love to promote Guyanese things whether art, culture, sports what ever the case may be. Enough is enough, I have a bone to pick with a so called "sports bar." Windies has a few lame photographs of sporting legends, stupid cocktail names and television sets, Kayleigh and David note to self...these articles do not automatically give you the right to call your establishment a 'sports bar'.

A close source revealed a recent encounter with this "bottom house". Apparently her and her significant other, ate there for lunch one Saturday. She made the dreadful mistake of ordering a club sandwich, which sounded enticing and delightful on the menu. Now after waiting an eternity for the sandwich, it came without 2 of the said ingredients. According to her, she was so hungry from the long wait she just decided not to make a fuss and eat her club sandwich that miraculously turned into an egg sandwich. Now after she finished they made mention of this to the waitress, that the chicken and bacon were missing from the order. The waitress didn't look surprised, but said she was sure that it had the ingredients, never the less she went into the kitchen to talk to the chef. She came back all discombobulated and said that she didn't know the chicken was left out and that the chef never told her anything.Apparently the chicken was spoiled. hmm interesting but the customer's significant other had a platter and it included chicken. Seems as though the chef had to do a toss up of who was going to get the last pieces of chicken.To cut a long story short they asked to speak to a manager. A woman with a digicel t-shirt and not so clean appearance approached, she claimed to be the cook /supervisor. The waitress and the cook went on to play the blame game with each other, the customers requested a reduced rate and the cook/supervised pronounced, without an apologetic tone but with a rather fresh and snobby manner, "Is not a big piece of chicken anyways, yah still want it. I can go and fry it up fah yah ". With carifesta around the corner i strongly advise Kayleigh (miss mayonnaise in curry lady) to invest in hospitality training for her staff. Don't waste your time eating at Windies, if you want a proper and cheaper club sandwich, and cooks that don't make you doubt or second guess eating their food, take a drive up to Grand Coastal in felicity on the east coast.

According to a top GT blog site ( livinguyana)"If we were to compare Windies to Trotters in Trinidad, Bubba’s in Barbados or Cuddyz in Jamaica it would fall by the wayside in a damn ass hurry. Let me give yall a run down of what this set up entails. Windies is a damn ‘bottom house’ establishment with a small balcony upstairs and outside. If you suffer from claustrophobia please be warned not to visit this establishment." The lower level has a ridiculously low ceiling that will be sure to make you sweat like a pig. "Kayleigh and her husband clearly went to the cheap side when investing in this place,to be able to view the action on nothing less than 52 inches. Cheap skates, invest in some plasma screens and more tasteful tables, The cheap, mass produced Chinese plates and cutlery looked as though they were bartered off some migrating housewife, from country. Surely the cultured Europeans could do better as they sought to bring a greater level of dining experience to the natives," according to a reputable blog site (livinguyana). White folk, why am i not surprised.

Windie's is over priced and nasty. And DO NOT order a margarita there-- they have NO CLUE as to what makes for a good margarita.
