In reply to the discussion: Have you ever been banned from something or thrown out of anywhere? [View all]trof
(54,256 posts)60. Yeah, got kicked out of Darwin's Theory, a dive bar in Anchorage.
I liked Darwin's for:
1. Red Hots - shots of cinnamon schnapps with a dash of Tabasco.
Great on a cold night.
2. The clientele. Really interesting mix. College professors, airline pilots (me), oil patch workers, geology engineers, etc., etc.
3. The staff. All female ranging from 'cute' to downright gorgeous.
(Sexist pig!)
4. FREE POPCORN!
There were a couple of rules at Darwin's.
1. You didn't overtly hit on the staff. 'Mild' flirting was OK.
2. You didn't cross staff.
They had the ultimate and final word.
If a waitress or the bartender told you to leave, you left.
If not, Darwin would step in, and that would not be good.
One night I was chatting with a guy (complete stranger) next to me at the bar.
It was that kind of place.
He made some remark to the bartender that she misunderstood.
"OUT!"
He tried to explain.
Darwin came over.
"She says you're out, you're OUT!"
I tried to intervene and explain.
"OK, buster. You're out too!"
I left, but boy was I pissed.
I boycotted the place for a couple of weeks, but I couldn't stay away.
The place was just so much damn fun.
