Carved Dive - BROMLEY

Unprofessional security staff member was rude and hot tempered towards multiple people during our evening. Security staff have a duty of care and are hired to help keep people safe and prevent conflict but this particular staff member just seemed he was looking to create trouble and arguments with whoever he could for the fun of it. His behaviour was inappropriate and confrontational and just ruined the evening experience for us sitting right by the door! Food however, was lovely and they have a nice selection of drinks but staff ruined the night.

Amazing cocktails: check. Awesome burgers: check. Delicious wings: check. With a fun interior aesthetic and a chilled vibe during lunch, my friend and I had the most fantastic food and cocktails. If you live in Bromley you need to go here. If you live within driving distance of Bromley, you still need to go here.

Do not attend carved dive at all cost!!!!!! The security guard took his cis badge off and offered to fight. Also over priced drinks, with little alcohol. Avoid at all cost

The past few times I 've gone here on saturdays, the male staff member on shift has got in people 's faces quite a lot and been super rude over nothing, and acted a bit creepy towards our female friends. It 's really off putting and I don 't think our group will be coming back. Your female staff member on weekends is lovely but this guy is making this place unpopular now with his attitude. He got in my face the other week when we were leaving no idea why as we hadn 't done anything, we were literally just going home and did the whole 'you know I work here right? ' He just seems like he 's looking for a fight and to bar people because he keeps throwing that out as a threat. Last night was no exception when we went on a Sunday instead, literally saw a guy ask him to book a taxi because his phone was out of battery and he refused for no reason the guy was trying to be safe because he 'd had a drink! and when the guy called him a name because he was getting in his face and the guy walked off (the guy literally left and wasn 't carrying on) he followed him down the road shouting at him, started waving his camera in his face and saying all the local bars have a WhatsApp group and they 'd ban him. The guy didn 't do anything particularly bad, he was reacting to how the staff here treated him when he was trying to be smart and not walk home late when he was doing that alone and drunk. Please tell him you can 't actually ban people from every bar in an area without a police mandated court order you only get from things like violent behaviour, him acting like a nutter is doing you no favours. If you 're the owner, please get rid of him, because you 're going to end up losing all your patrons. Your drinks are ok, your food is good for a local place, but people aren 't going to pay £9 or more for a single cocktail to deal with someone like that when there are plenty of other bars in Bromley reopening this week.

Last night I was drinking with friends at this bar, and witnessed some horrible behaviour by the male staff member on shift. A quite drunk man I 've seen before in other pubs around Bromley and have never seen get in trouble like this asked for a cab to be booked for him, and they said no even though he was explaining he lived quite far away and was trying to be sensible and safe because his phone had run out of battery. He didn 't refuse to leave or anything, he asked for help which wasn 't provided. So they didn 't care about his safety. Would they have booked one for me as a woman? This is what worries me. This isn 't a big ask at a pub when someone is trying to be safe, it 's not like he was asking them to pay for it, just to call one for him. He did then call them 'pr s ' and walked off to start walking home. Ok, he shouldn 't have done that, but he wasn 't violent or anything or extremely abusive he was reacting to this man being aggressive in saying no in a very rude way and left immediately. I watched the male bar staff member CHASE HIM DOWN THE ROAD, SHOUTING AT HIM, and start SHOVING A CAMERA IN HIS FACE claiming he 'd get him barred from every pub in Bromley. The guy was really upset. I would be! He asked you for a safe way to get home when he clearly needed it and that was how you reacted? Were you just trying to make an example because this actually just made me disgusted at you? This isn 't the first time the behaviour of staff in this bar has shocked me. Previously I 've seen male bar staff hit on clearly very young women when they are much older, and seen a man try to tell a girl to stay with him 'after his shift ' or she 'd be barred. Honestly, don 't go here. The nice drinks and ok food isn 't worth it until they start reigning in the men that work here. I won 't be returning until they start managing their staff a bit better, feels like the owner 's mates have just been hired and aren 't being told how to behave in a public setting.
