Review of HopCat

I was out with some co-workers. Upon arrival we were told to scan the QR code at the bar for the complete menu. I was relieved to find that they had a Blake’s Hard Cider. When I asked for it, I was told they were out. I explained that I have Celiac Disease and I can’t consume Gluten and the bar tender mentioned another cider that I had never heard of. I told him I needed to do some research before ordering. I was unable to find anything on the cider’s safety online. The bartender returned with my boss’ drink. I asked about something else and decided on a Mountain Dew. A few moments later he came back with the Cider. I told him that was not what I ordered and he got upset and then attempted to mansplain to me where Gluten comes from. I reiterated that I didn’t want that drink because if he was wrong it could make me physically ill and requested the Mountain Dew again. He brought it out, but tried to get me to take the cider once more. I was embarrassed and livid. I left the bar as soon as my co-workers were finished with their drinks.
