While this will not dissuade me from going to events at Piere’s, i will say.. maybe they need to bump up their security.

I’m no stranger, to closing down a bar on a Karaoke Thursday night… “errr wait.. is it really Friday morning?”
RIP – NorthStar and The Gin Mill. You guys made 1st shift Friday morning …such fun. 🙄

While most of us have have ventured off to La-La Land, at 02:00, there are a few that still haven’t quite figured it out, yet.
Don’t get me wrong, there are often times the patrons that are happily satisfied, but then again, there are also the troubled few.

Those that have had a few too many, some depressed, some bitter, some violent.
Bars need good Tenders to keep watch of the above situations, and Enforcement when those few get carried away.

Volatile bar situations happen when the Management fails to provide the right Staff to diffuse any of the above situations.
