THIS PLACE RECENTLY KICKED OUT THE ENTIRE WEDDING PARTY OF A US AIR FORCE OFFICER RIGHT AFTER HIS WEDDING, AND THE PARENTS OF THE BRIDE AND GROOM SEEMINGLY ONLY BECAUSE THE WAITRESS DIDN'T LIKE ONE OF THE GIRLS IN THE GROUP.
So now the full story:
We recently went here for post wedding food and drinks. It was 11PM, so the place was definitely in bar mode, but that's what we were looking for anyways. The whole bridal party, and bride and groom's parents were all there - we had about 16-20 people or so and were ready to buy several rounds of drinks and food. As the groom is military, he and several others were in military dress uniform.
The wedding had been a lot of fun, so everybody was in good spirits, but NOBODY was out of control. The 'drunkest' person in the group was simply sitting at a table drinking water, but was NOT falling asleep (which is a typical thing that will get you asked to leave). By comparison there were some groups of guys who were there when we got there who were being super loud and obnoxious, but hey - it was a Saturday night in Boston so whats the big deal?
Anyways, the waitress came around and got everybody's first round drink order, and several people ordered food. The first round of everything came, and next thing I know my wife comes over and says the security guard had gotten up in their face, accused them of being too drunk to be in there, and that we were all being kicked out.
Apparently when the 'drunkest' girl tried to order a water and french fries, the waitress just stormed away and started freaking out to another employee and then walk away towards the security guard (confirmed by 4 different girls who saw it happen). The security guard then approached the 4 girls, and asked if they were too drunk to be in the bar. The girls answered 'No' with a fairly confused tone, and then the security guard told them they needed to calm down. A few confusing minutes passed, and then the manager was walking by. The 'drunkest' girl flagged him down and asked totally normally whether there was a problem with our group since they had been told to calm down. The manager said something to the extent of 'its people like YOU that cause trouble'
At this point the bride (still in dress) came over to ask what was going on. A short conversation ensued and next thing we know, the bar won't serve any of us. Also, and this blows my mind - some of the people had changed out of their wedding clothes before going to the bar. When the staff saw dressed up people walk up and start talking to normally dressed people (my wife, dressed up, came up to talk to me and another guy), they came and took the drinks away (more than half full) from the normally clothed people, even though they weren't even remotely drunk.
So, here we are outside this place trying to round up our group, when once of the rambunctious groups from inside leaves by their own decision, and they are carrying one of the guys out because he is so drunk.
So, they kick out the well dressed group of military officers and their families because somebody ordered some fries and a water, but let another group (who was definitely more loud and rowdy than us) drink until they couldn't even stand up.
Not that I'm in Danvers much, but I will NEVER go to this place again, and I'll do everything I can to lose them business.
I'm not sure why they kicked us out, because they definitely lost out on several hundred dollars worth of drinks and food that we would have ordered, which we then went and got from Buffalo Wild Wings without incident or complaint (they were in fact thrilled to have us) read more
