The fire should only be lit if its freezing out. Nobody wants to smell like campfire...

A group of about 7 of us came down to see one of our friends perform on a Wednesday night this week and while the amount of chatter and noise from the sizable crowd during his set (especially the mellower tunes) was a little disturbing, I have been to enough shows in bars in Portland to get over it quickly and enjoy myself anyway. Then during the second act's performance, my friends and myself were having a conversation when the owner tapped me on the shoulder and "shushed" me. Now I have no problem with this as I have a booming voice and have embarrassed myself many times over for not realizing this. We decided to leave and the owner choose to make an example of my girlfriend by calling her out to other patrons as someone who "just doesn't get it." What he doesn't get is that there are better ways to make your point than by embarrassing your guests for enjoying themselves in your establishment. We had been there for 3 hours spending our hard-earned money (we even came to the bartender's rescue when he lost his wine key in the middle of a considerable rush. My girlfriend gave him her extra) and it was a really sad way to end an otherwise enjoyable experience at his place. It's too bad because I have always like the joint and I live just around the corner. Unfortunately, I will just make use of one of the umpteen million other bars in my hood instead from now on.

I went to this bar last Saturday night for the first time. I showed up late after my friends had been there for a while. The bartender sold me a beer at last call & then proceeded to give us the boot 15 minutes later. She claimed that she gave us ample warning & wouldn't let us finish our drinks. Hey ... I may be a slow drinker but 15 minutes is fast for anyone to chug a pint of IPA. She was incredibly rude and I will NEVER go back to Roadside attraction (especially since there are so many better bars in the area).
