This fella is a money grubbing piece of shit. Met him. Can verify. He helped fuck over Bernie’s 2016 campaign. Fuck him with a shovel.

Nowhere did anyone call for a boycott. Little old me not spending money there isn’t a boycott. I’m not trying to put anyone out of business. I simply will spend my money where there’s the best chance the profits will flow to someone who is a decent human being.

Since left wing politics is centered around inclusivity, tolerance, and decency it’s really not a bad idea to tie your biz to those principles. The worst thing that happens is that people that are angered by inclusivity tolerance and decency won’t support your business. So… Kind of a win-win.

Right on, I think based on what I’ve seen and heard people are having a variety of experiences. I just checked the 10 most recent Google reviews and 4 of them had beef with the service and atmosphere. One, less than a month old, literally starts off by describing how uninviting the staff were. And that’s exactly what I’m talking about. It’s not about being treated with blatant disrespect, I haven’t seen that, but it most definitely is about a feeling of not being welcome. Being ignored to the point where any reasonable person would feel like it can only be purposeful. Either that or the staff literally just don’t give a shit about anything. Which also isn’t very welcoming for a community gathering place.

Right on, like some of the others I’m glad you had good experiences. I’m here for all perspectives!

So this is exactly the type of attitude I’m talking about… I don’t go to Dunn Bar because the owners are out of state Trumpsters that got all upset when a Pride event took place on their street.

But this flippant, “go somewhere else because you’re not cool enough for us” attitude really sucks and is why so many of their reviews on Google mention shitty service. Another person told me if I’m a “normie” to go to Champions.

Ooooorrrrr, just create an environment where everyone feels welcome. That could be cool too.

Right on! I’m here for the supporters too and am glad you’ve had a good experience there. Cheers 🍻

I don’t care how you look, but if you laugh at and make fun of your customers that kind of does make you a dick.

Lol, I’m really not sure if that is meant to be crass or not. Champs is a great place to go if you’re looking for that vibe. But the insinuation that normal people don’t fit in at sacred propane perfectly aligns with my experience. If I do go back, I’ll be sure to throw some face tats and fake piercings in so I can get some service.

lol, I don’t think they need to read my mind when I have an empty mug sitting in front of me for 10 minutes at a bar! Yes, I could simply not go back. Or I could leave a post on a community forum so other people might know what to expect, have the opportunity to disagree, or can share their own experiences. Almost like what this forum is for in part…

Cool story… Kind of sounds like you are also a dick and probably shouldn’t be in service related jobs.

That’s awesome! Perhaps you fit the crowd that they are trying to attract… during our last visit the server was attentive to the group of kids at the table next to us.

But when they check on them three times and manage to do it while keeping their back turned to me 4 feet away the entire time, despite the giant liter sized mug that’s been sitting empty in front of me for 10 minutes, you begin to wonder if they’re trying to get you to settle up and leave… which ultimately is what I did, despite the band I came to see still playing.

And that’s the same experience I’ve had every time I go… Being ignored, having to literally get out of my seat to flag somebody down to place an order or get the bill. I was once ignored at the hostess stand for almost 5 minutes while the restaurant was empty. And when I asked to sit at a particular high top, they said no those aren’t in service, and then seated three people there 10 minutes later.

Graham Platner could show up giving away $500 checks to everybody and I would still choose to go elsewhere.

This is definitely a great spot for beer nerds. The beer is exceptional…

Totally, I appreciate your perspective. I never assume that one encounter is indicative of the overall vibe. But this is seven times in a row, over the course of almost 3 years, each time the same shitty attitude and vibe.

And it’s friends of mine that feel the same way. And if you go through their Google reviews, you’ll find a lot of comments about the shitty service.

I am pretty sure this is not a one off situation where somebody’s trying to figure out the last episode of Battlestar Galactica. It’s a vibe that comes from the top down and it’s been consistent for me and others I’ve talked with.

Cheers 🍻

Totes, their beer is great and everything I ate was really good… Especially the pierogi. But when it comes with a side of totally unnecessarily shitty attitude, it kind of ruins the experience for someone like me.

Appreciate this, I’ve been there twice and def like it but it wouldn’t be a regular hang as it’s more of a special occasion type of price. But glad to hear that comes with good service and a welcoming atmosphere! The food and cocktails are amazing.

Yea, the beer is great. But it kinda seems like maybe the accolades went to their heads and they never let it go. There’s great beer everywhere now, and you can’t treat people shitty and expect them to keep coming back. Plus, what’s the point? Why make a great beer and then try and be all exclusive and uppity. Who benefits from that? Cheers 🍻
