So last night a friend of mine was celebrating her birthday. Our circle of friends went out to eat and then a friend of ours wanted to go to Deep South to see his ex-roommate's band play. While we were there a really drunk girl puked in the bathroom sink. Another friend of ours later puked in the same bathroom, but flushed. The bartender then threatened to charge him $20 for having to clean up vomit that wasn't his. We're all kind of pissed that the drunk girl cost our friend $20, but at the same time I don't blame the bar for having this rule. I wish I could have charged people money for making a mess of the Lowes Foods bathroom while I was in college.

Anyway, next time you are so drunk that you think you may puke, but you are determined to continue drinking, stay away from Deep South. It will cost you or an inocent person $20.

also this. i've been drunk off my ass more times than i care to count and i've never, ever vomited in a bar.

11/14/2010 8:16:45 PM

LIMITS, PEOPLE

11/14/2010 8:17:48 PM

i mean deep south DOES kind of make one want to vomit

11/14/2010 8:19:27 PM

why did they continue to serve your friend drinks if she was noticeably drunk?

1. Stop drinking before you puke.
2. Deep South sucks but there is occasionally a reason to go there (Hopscotch, for instance).

11/14/2010 8:25:36 PM

true. it was a hopscotch venue.

and i am a slight hypocrite as i have thrown up in a bar twice. whoops. only one time was from being drunk though. and i was young, foolish, and too young to be in the bar in the first place (i think, or maybe i was 21). but i learned my lesson! the seasoned me does not throw up in bars. and tries to know my limits so as to not puke at all. but no one is perfect

I agree. Try telling that to the drunk girl though. She made the mess and it got blamed on our friend even though he was inocent. He didn't puke in the sink and leave it.

Like I said, my friend's ex-roomate's band was playing there. We only went because of that. None of us had ever been there before last night and we probably won't go back. I would rather go to The Pour House, if I want to see a local band. I just went where everyone else went and didn't complain.

11/14/2010 8:32:25 PM

sometimes you have to puke......

11/14/2010 8:36:21 PM

unisex bathrooms?

11/14/2010 8:38:00 PM

^^Yeah like when you go to the World Beer Fest for the first time and then everyone who went with you chooses to stop and Perkins to eat even though you feel like you could puke at any moment.

^Yes

or when it's new years and you responsibly over drink all night, then midnight hits and you accidentally chug a bottle of champagne.

11/14/2010 8:40:59 PM

Um, I must interject, as a bar manager. Not to mention, I've worked in a bar for 7 years, and run it for 3 now. First, I, in the aforementioned position, expect my patrons to have a great time. I also expect them to drink a lot. If they vomit, I have several employees who I expect to clean the shit up. It's a bar. Personally, I've only thrown up in a bar once, and I luckily made it into the toilet. However, in my countless nights closing Ruckus since 2004, I've cleaned up vomit probably 20-25 times.

You know what? The shit's gross. But I'll be goddamned if I'll ever be that much of a fucking pussy that I'm gonna try to charge someone for doing it. Shit happens. When someone vomits in Ruckus (I'd say 50% of the time, it's because it's their birthday and they have pushy friends), we simply cut them off, and hope their friends cover the inconvenience with a little extra on the tip. It's a bar. We're the service industry.

This shit blows my fucking mind, and I'd love to know who the bartender was. Seriously. That is an absolute FAGGOT MOVE.

FTR, if any of my bartenders try to charge someone for vomiting, they'll be put out on their ass with the quickness.

I'd have like all those nickels

11/14/2010 8:42:34 PM

i hate to bash places that I've never been to, but what kind of establishment has a unisex bathroom?

i seriously can't think of one....

11/14/2010 8:43:55 PM

unisex bathroom screams for sexxxxxxxxx

11/14/2010 8:45:38 PM

yeah a unisex bathroom at a bar sounds very scary

11/14/2010 8:47:31 PM

There's two toilets and they each have their own locking door. It's not like boys and girls are pissing next to each other.

From what I heard it sounded like a house rule that you have to pay $20, if they know you puked in their bathroom. The birthday girl who had nothing to do with the people puking in the bathroom got pissed at the bartender for treating our friend that way. At that point the blonde girl with the nose ring who was the bartender called my friend, "A Stupid Cunt!" Then she kept going in the bathroom after all of this to make sure no one else was making a mess out of it.

11/14/2010 8:50:28 PM

awesome. you should have taken the girl in with you to make sure

11/14/2010 8:53:17 PM

Wooooow.

Welp, never goin' there again.

Haven't in like 2 years, though.

11/14/2010 8:53:29 PM

what. the. fuck.

this places sounds horrible. i've only been once. to chug a drink right before the beach house/vamp weekend show

11/14/2010 8:54:19 PM

sounds like your friend is a pussy for paying them the $20

11/14/2010 8:56:08 PM

I love how people are contrary about everything.

WHAT, HAVING A GOOD TIME

FUCK YOU AND YOUR GOOD TIME

I mean, why were you doing anything except reading with your grandmother? What time was this? I don't know about you people, but I'm in bed by 7pm every night and I don't even drink NyQuil or anything that start with A I'm so anti-EVERYTHING.

The bands weren't bad, they had a pool table, and they had Guinness on tap. With or without any issues like last night, I would still rather go to The Pour House, or Flying Saucer when going to the downtown bars because they have all of that only with a better beer selection and more polite bartenders.

Sure, most of us know our limits, and particularly, when to stop drinking.

But if you think a bartender has a right to teach that to a drunk patron, especially via extortion, you ought to be smacked in the goddamn face with a bag of dick cheese.

the only thing a patron owes a bartender or cocktail waitress, or whoever, is the heads-up, "hey, my friends just threw up [in this area of your establishment]. . .I'm really sorry, man"

i also can't believe the bartender called the birthday girl a cunt. what the hell?

^ i know. i agree. the worst though, is when you get the pushy "friends" (on a bday or whatever) that are TOO pushy. like you feel like you have to protect the vomiting person from them. once when i worked at woody's there was an obviously super intoxicated, likely on the verge of vomiting girl and these douche guys were trying to make her do the lock arms and chug thing with them. ugh. i tried to tell them it wasn't a good idea, but they were just really rude to me. and when she puked on the table afterward they laughed at her and didn't try to help her at all and were annoyed when i was in their way cleaning it up. :/ what do you do then? have you ever experienced anything like this?

Yeah I can't believe that either. When I worked at the grocery store there were plenty of times I would have liked to tell asshole customers, "Fuck You!" but I knew better and controlled myself.

11/14/2010 9:13:35 PM

So what if I am paying with cash so I don't have a tab and then yak all over the place? What the fuck are they going to do, demand I pay them 20 bucks?

Right on.

11/14/2010 9:15:37 PM

Last time I was out with someone that barfed, they made us clean it up. Then again it was outside the bathroom...

11/14/2010 9:15:48 PM

you mean your friend who puked?

I mean, Joel's a professional and might not do it where he works

Flat out, you don't call someone a name for puking in your place when they're drunk. At worst, you shrug, say "ah, goddamnit", clean the shit up, and continue (or try to figure out how) to serve your customers.
