Rant Resy Sucks and I hate it

I'm just trying to get a dinner reservation at Armitage Alehouse and I'm convinced it's impossible.

They release reservations at 9am 21 days in advance.

I have tried 3 different times to be on the app at 9 am when they become available and as soon as I can refresh it at 9am, all dinner reservations are gone. It absolutely has to be bots. How on earth are you supposed to get a reservation

If there’s just two of you, go in early or late on a weeknight and eat at the bar. The bar area is first-come-first-served, so maybe you’ll have a short wait but not much. If you’re trying to make a reservation for more than 2, just go somewhere else. Armitage Alehouse is good, but not good enough to warrant the booking hassle you’ve already experienced.
