Last night saturday the 27th me, my boyfriend and my girlfriend met a group of people at brothers. As soon as we arrived there me and my girlfriend got through the packed downstairs to get a drink at the bar. We were surrounded by guys. One guy in particular asked my girlfriend if she would like him to buy us a drink she said sure. Who would turn that down? The guy ordered from a young male bartender. When the drinks arrived there were 7 drinks including shots. The guy who had ordered them was hiding behind his friend like a child. The bartender started to get upset at me and my girlfriend because the guy who ordered the drinks had no intentions of paying for them. We were trying to explain this to the bartender and my friend said she would pay for the two drinks that were ours. He started to count down from 5 like we were children and said someone has to pay for all these drinks. So my girlfriend went into her purse and pulled out her card, while she was doing this she said she would just pay for them all thats fine, even though we were not happy about it. But I work in the service industry and I know what its like having people dip out on there tabs. As soon as my girlfriend pulled out her card the bartender dumped all the drinks and waved the bouncer over to kick us out.!!! We were totally sober and calm. We explained to the bouncer what had happened and then one of the friends of the guy who ordered the drinks told the bouncer that this was a mistake we shouldn't get kicked out, it was his friend who ordered all the drinks. My friend requested to speak with the manager and even after doing so, 3 large bouncers muscled us out of the bar. We were not even putting up a fight my girlfriend wanted to grab her coat they would'nt let her. We were shoved outside in the cold like a couple of brawlers or criminals. This resulted us in getting seperated from our group. We had to take a cab, my girlfriends house keys were in our friends (that were still in brothers) car. She had to break into her house with a neighbors crowbar!!! Brothers will be compensating her, im not going away quietly. Downtown bars think they can just treat people how ever they want and get away with it. Its like they have their own set of insane laws. Im really upset at the manager who did nothing but add to the problem. We were more than willing to pay for the drinks even after they had dumped them out. Now brothers better be more than willing to pay for my friends broken screen and window!! I can make this legal and if they want to go to court even if they win they will still end up spending more money than if they just compensate us for our troubles. I dont want a complementary drink it doesn't matter what they say I will never go there again.
