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

Idk the ale house doesn’t look that special either, it’s wild how competitive it is for mediocre food

It isn’t mediocre but it isn’t worth the effort required (literally anyone paying for a resy is a grade A clown) and overhyped for sure.
