Mean-muggers

People who frequent small, quiet bars are very taken aback when a large group, such as a Birthday party or Bachelor/Bachelorette party, comes in for a drink. And it's fine to not like it because you go to quiet bars for a reason-- the quiet. However, I would just like to say, that if you are a person who frequents a bar, then you must care about that business, right? Ok, so mean-mugging patrons who are there to also support that establishment, that you love I remind you, really does that business no good. While the patrons are not the ones running the bar they very much are the face of the business in a lot of cases. I think it is also fair to say that at some point in most people's lives they too will be apart of a large group that goes to a bar for a special event and I'm sure that they would not want someone with "territory issues" to ruin their experience.

I feel it is important to call this out because you people who are looking at us with mean looks, or are annoyed simply by us being there will likely ruin important business for the establishment you think you are protecting. 

With that said, when we launch The Bar Tour - Extended, The Bar Tour, Unabridged, or whatever we decide to call it, in which we travel to bars in the surrounding Cedar Rapids areas... we probably will not be revisiting DanceMor in Swisher due to the straight-up hostility towards our very large group of people with money. That's not fair to the owners of DanceMor and frankly, I'm also very disappointed because I think it seems like a great experience and tons of fun.

People need to stop being so freaking judgmental.

Just something to think about for all you bar-lovers out there! (Stepping down off soap-box.)

  1. Right-on, Jen! Thumbs-down to all Mean-muggers. Thumbs-up to all visiting parties - especially bachelorette parties, because they'll spend some money; they won't stay long; and they'll almost certainly do stupid things that make me laugh!
