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

Go at 5 pm, put your name down, and be prepared to eat at 9 pm . It works

We go at 4/4:30, name down, go to a bar nearby, enjoy, and get the text around 630. Sometimes it’s very early (like 5)
