Food was pretty good. The drinks were standard. However, this is why I am giving a one star review. They had a group of people who came in to do a couple songs and stand up comedy. We were not made aware that this was going on, and there did not seem to be any noticeable signage upon entering. My friends and I were sitting in the back of the bar just having a quiet conversation - not trying to be too loud but medium talking volume so we could hear each other. We were not told by anyone working there upon entering that we needed to not talk during the performance or keep a extra-quiet volume so they could record eachother. The group of people who were performing that night were constantly harassing us while we were enjoying eachothers company in the back of the restaurant. One of them stood up and walked to our table saying that we needed to be silent so they could record this performance for YouTube, and they could hear some talking in the background. At first we were just a bit confused because we were not being loud whatsoever, but the performers were acting as if they were employees and as if we were being obnoxious. Instead of them asking their staff to talk to us, they decided to handle it themselves. They were upset we were talking at regular indoor voice volume in a bar, despite being as far as we could physically could be from the performance. Mind you, this is a bar, we were just there for a couple drinks, this wasn't a concert hall, movie theater, or library. Personally, I am never someone who ever gets called out for being loud or disruptive, and we certainly weren't being anything like that. The problem was, nobody was at the bar because clearly nobody wanted to be around these people who were performing. It was not professional singing, it was clearly for fun - which is good for them, but that was a clear sign that this was not a serious event that required undivided attention. They were upset with anybody who was talking. We weren't at a concert; we were at a restaurant, sitting farthest away from the performers as we could. While one of the older woman was singing, she walked all the way up to our table which was 30 feet across the room and said, "these people are so f*cking rude!" It was so awkward and humiliating because there were only two other couples there who then left because of how awful and awkward the performers were to humiliate us. The stand up comedy guy was then making jokes about suicide that were really cringe and distasteful. When I glanced over at him from accross the bar, he stops his sketch and goes "oh, finally you are paying attention!" We had no idea that the performers there expected the few people that were there to act like it was a concert or show where everyone needed to be dead silent. If we had been approached by someone who actually worked there to let us know that they require a quiet setting, we would have totally been more understanding. They made such a scene out of us, and all of the staff just seemed to ignore what was happening. We were just sitting there having a quiet conversation and catching up since my friends and I haven't seen each other in months, but apparently we were supposed to be paying full attention to the drunk karaoke they were doing at the front of the bar? What an awful experience that completely humiliated us and ruined our night for no reason. I'm guessing they were so upset because we were one of three groups of people that were there. Clearly nobody wanted to go during this hour the bar was open for this reason - hence why it was completely empty. We ended up leaving with how unprofessional, antagonizing, and disrespectful the random people were treating us just trying to enjoy our meal and drinks in the back of the restaurant. Nobody who worked there was present to sort out this conflict brought upon us. I would go ahead and avoid this bar.
