Markis: The barmaid you are referring to is actually very nice and usually works very fast. I believe her name is Crystal. When you first meet her she can be intimidating, but believe me that she is very nice. You might just have caught her on a bad night. Everyone is entitled. I am sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. Give them another shot.
BBV: I am a local artist and I happen to play at The Road a lot. I'm not sure how you got your information, but Tobacco Road always pays me when I play for them. The tickets thing you are referring to is not a Tobacco Road gig, those are festivals organized through a 3rd party promoter. I am sorry to say that your facts are a bit off.
As for the reference to "bad music" I will say this: The Road is very eclectic. Sometimes they have jazz bands, sometimes heavy metal bands, sometimes folk, sometimes blues. If you happen to show up on a night when someone is playing a style of music that is not to your liking you will not enjoy the show. My advice to you is to check their website before going and find out who is playing and what style of music they play. If you don't like heavy metal then you should not be there when they have heavy metal bands. Get what I mean?
Lastly, I want everyone to know this:
The Road has one of the most amazing bowls of chili I have ever eaten. And every Friday they have all drinks for 96 cents during Happy Hour - which is pretty amazing and awesome I think.
And if you ever hear of a band playing there called "The Coffee House Gypsies" you should really attend and check it out. That band rocks. Hehehehe. And yes, that's my band, and I am shamelessly promoting myself here so shoot me. We are also on iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, MySpace, FaceBook, Rhapsody, and a zillion other sites. Just look us up in Google.
And oh, yeah... we play at The Road almost once a month, so go see us...
SEE Y'ALL AT TOBACCO ROAD!!!! :)
