Both times someone in my party made their way to the bar they were overcharged, even though the prices were clearly stated on the drink menu. Our glasses of wine were $7.50 and the bartender told us we owed $9 each, when politely questioned about the discrepancy he said, "well $7.50, with tax it's $8." I've personally never been charged tax arbitrarily made up by someone behind the bar... we all left slightly soured on the place and I'm not sure I'll go back, which is a shame because I really enjoyed the atmosphere. If you make the trip, be sure to watch your tab. The Beehive definitely has great ambiance, but the only time I ventured in to check it out, the bar staff was less than impressive.

Maybe not. You should definitely keep checking in on it and call them on what you think would help and/or witness. In the meantime..I've made my cocktail of the week The Year of the Rat(fink) in honor of Chinese New Year. Maybe it will smooth out it’s rough edges over time. Maybe not.
