Seriously, if I can tolerate slobbering drunks explaining RIS to me without prompt

He was just having a good time and thought you looked like a nice guy that needed to be informed about the 4% RIS on tap

[chalmers]

Ha!

WTF?

[CorneliusAlphonse]

Good on then, the last thing they need is a TV on the wall, even for a "special" event

[mr x]

Yeah, rip out that fucking stereo system too.

[CorneliusAlphonse]

Nope stereo system and "hipster music" is perfect

[mr x]

Obviously.

[Keggermeister]

Russian Imperial Mild anyone?

[mr x]

All I could do was laugh, and move slowly away....

And then I had to put up with him grinding me into the post by the bar

I kind of liked the music while I was there, lot of 80s american punk, right up my alley. Even though I liked it, it is not the right music for a bar by a long shot

[CorneliusAlphonse]

Yeah I was being snarky with my reply, but every time Ive been there I either haven't noticed the music, or thought it was a good selection of songs. I think they should keep doing what they're doing honestly - it works great for me, and every time Ive been there, any time and day of the week, it has been quite busy.

Music is not the problem. The volume is. Us oldies who abused there ears in a former life need a certain level of din.

Young people often accused of being in the "hipster" crowd sometimes complain about the loudness too. It gets cranked in the later hours. It's quite reasonable in the daytime and early evenings. And the selection is great. And I know that I can reliably get good beer and not have a major distraction: I'm there for beer and conversations with friends.

As I've said previously in this thread, someone should start a craft beer-focused sports bar. You'll never see me there, but clearly there's demand for it.

[mr x]

You'll never see me there...

And that's the issue in a nutshell. The need to classify, the need of a homogenized environment.

[CorneliusAlphonse]

Some of us just dont want to watch sports.

[mr x]

That's fine, you don't have to, it's not like Clockwork Orange.

[GAM]

If the sports is too loud I would be no happier.

Don't turn the sound on at all. Leave the music on. Although I have found that when the place was full, the music was just adding noise to a noisy room.

I'm with you on that one. I don't see the need for music when it's a decent sized crowd - there's already enough noise to talk over. The music does serve a purpose when it's not as busy, and you can actually hear the music and your conversation.
