Tonight my group was overcharged. When we inquired we were threatened with the police. They said they were going to ‘flag’ me after I said we were being overcharged. They required a 20% tip on my party of 4. We had already closed out a tab 1 hour earlier and tipped over 30%. DO NOT GO! Unless you are a regular they do not want your business.

Interesting…I guess you left before I was unjustly assaulted by their power-tripping psycho manager err…”excellent service” as you called it

Who brings a 4 month old to a bar?

My husband and I were there on New Year’s Eve as well – although early in the day. We had excellent food and excellent service. We go fairly often, one of the few places we can bring our four month old without the owner flipping out (ahem, TJ’s) and the food and service have always been excellent.

Well, where do I start? I’ve been the Pig many times in the past few years and I must say the food has NEVER been good, the waitstaff has ALWAYS been rude and unfriendly but recently I had a very memorable experience. I stopped at the Pig with friends on New Year’s Eve to stay local and enjoy good times with friends. After being in the bar for an hour and being served 3 rounds of beers to our table I questioned if song requests were available and our ONLY friendly waitress advised me to ask the bartender because he was in charge of the music. When I asked him, he told me to write down the songs I wanted to hear and if he had them he would play them. Before I could write 2 words on the napkin I was pushed forcefully by a woman and demanded to show her ID. When I asked if she was an employee at the bar she once again demanded my ID. I went back to the table where my friends were seated and took out my ID for her to see. Before she could even see my date of birth she rudely yelled that I was flagged and we were done drinking there. I gave her no trouble and I informed her that we would be leaving after we finished our THIRD beers and paid our tab. At that time the woman physically grabbed my arm and attempted to rip my beer from my hand while I was trying to drink from it. She continued yelling and was clearly trying to start a physical altercation inside the bar. She was pulled away and I immediately left the bar in shock with my friends. When I arrived home and settled down about 40 minutes later I called the bar to request to speak to the owner regarding the treatment I received there. The bartender cursed at me and told me I could not speak to the owner and if I tried to call back or make anything of the incident they would say I punched someone in the bathroom. Followed by a few more obscenities yelled at me he hung up the phone on me. So, long story short, I was nowhere near intoxicated, I was causing no trouble at all and I was physically assaulted and threatened by the employees at this bar. No wonder everyone is complaining about the service – last I heard “acceptable friendly customer service” didn’t come in the form of a disgruntled, abusive woman named Anitra or a threatening, power-tripped bartender!!!

I’ve been here several times and I love it. Love the beer selection and have enjoyed the food (keeping in mind that it’s bar food). I don’t think the bartenders or owners are rude or obnoxious (ie Ren and Stimpy) at all. I think they’re just blue collar guys that like to bust people’s chops. If you don’t have thick enough skin to deal with it I really don’t think they care if you come back. Their attitude may push you out the door but it also tends to bring people in. I get irritated with servers kissing my ass everywhere else I go so I find it to be a breath of fresh air – as well as totally entertaining!

The Pig is now fully smoke free inside. A huge plus to a great beer bar!

Rudest Bartenders I have ever met. I just moved to Malvern and found the only bar in town. I was happy because finding a good neighborhood bar is great. My happiness quickly changed as soon as I ordered my first beer. EVERY BAR TENDER WAS RUDE. NO SMILES. NO SMALL TALK . The one bar tender actually started complaining to me because I ordered a beer from one of the different bar tenders. Needless to say I only left 1.75$ tip. I really wanted to leave nothing because of the horrible service.
From now on I will make the extra drive to another bar, because other bar tenders actually smile.

For a dive bar, not bad. But he comments about the staff are very true…Bad service and the owners, Rem and Stimpy act as if your lucky you are allowed to sit there It fun to see the the short fat one to get drunk and start insulting customers. On the serious side, this is a DUI hot spot and the local police watch how long cars are parked, if you lucky to get a parking spot within a mile of the place. The comment about the local police calling it a loser bar is true, but thats why its called a Dive bar.

The Flying Pig is a great place to go and hang out either on a week night or on a Saturday afternoon when there’s nothing else happening. I’ve never had a problem with the staff even when its been super busy. It’s a fun time and you really can’t beat the prices.
