My wife and I were at Mac's Tavern just about a week and a half ago, and it was the most terrifying experience we've ever had in a public place.
We came to Mac's near the end of the night, just to have a couple of glasses of wine before we turned in for the night. The pictures online led us to believe this was a low-key kind of place, with an older crowd. What we found out was that it was nothing like we've ever experienced.
As we waited for our drinks, there was a scuffle outside of the bar. I stood up to look out the door, and I could see a man on the ground, being attacked by another man and a girl. He was unable to fight back, as he had two people kicking him repeatedly.
Much to our horror, a couple of bouncers and a bar tender RAN outside and JOINED IN - ruthlessly kicking the man on the ground as if this were some sort of gang fight. At no point did they try to talk to anyone or break up the fight - they just perpetrated more violence - I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
My wife and I were frightened, and waited inside until the ordeal was over, about 5 long minutes later. When the guy ran away and the bouncers and bartender came back inside from the gang beating, my wife and I hurried out of the restaurant and sped home, not bothering to wait for our drinks to arrive. I was afraid we might even be chased down by the staff, so we literally ran to the car.
This was a horrific experience, and I cannot believe how the staff there just ran outside and commenced to beating that poor man the way they did.
I would never go back to this place again, for fear of my own safety, and the safety of those with me. Mac's Tavern is a place for thugs, as that's what their staff is.
To top it all off, we called the owner to let him know about the actions of his staff, and he was very rude, and insisted that nothing happened that night, despite the fact that we witnessed the whole thing. He called us liars and hung up on us.
Unbelievable.
