I decided to host a surprise 30th Birthday party at Anam bar on Saturday 2nd feb 2013 for my friends's 30th Birthday with a guest list of about 35 people after reading a mix of reviews with the majority being so positive.

I would like to express and my deepest disappointment with the hospitality given at Anam Bar on this day.

Firstly I wasn't given the entire room areas that I was promised

Following on, they had technical music problems for at least 1 hour upon our arrival to the bar so we had no music and received no apology for the wait

Their door man who turned the TV on to watched football on my reserved seating area was arrogant and rude and manager did not do anything about it

Originally I wanted to hire my own DJ but was advised that Anam's DJ would be happy to play my music on a given guest list but unfortunately we DID NOT hear a single song from our playlist!!!!! I spoke to their superior manager and was told that the DJ would play our songs 1 hour before closing...Now tell me, is this FAIR considering we were at the bar since 8pm as paying customers for a birthday celebration?

We felt extremely discriminated and stereotyped because of our ethnicity and choice of music which was old skool RnB/ Hiphop and feel that this is a disgraceful service and an embarrassing way to treat paying customers who were very friendly and patient considering Anam's lack of fair treatment.

I advise anyone of ethnicity planing a party to NOT go there as they are just too RUDE and a disgrace to the 21st centaury.

Only good thing was the bar tender who was friendly and made great cocktails

I will never ever step into that place again or recommend it to anyone one that I know.
