    Re: Beck's is a joke!!

    One thing that Mulligans can't do that Beck's can is play the UNI Fight Song over the sound system. After the Appy State upset, I asked the hostess to play the fight song and after asking a few people, she said that they couldnt.

    There were a ton of UNH fans there, and we wanted to let them know whose bar it was....so we got the U.N.I. chant going instead.

      Re: Beck's is a joke!!

      I'm not a fan of Beck's after my younger brother worked there as a bouncer and recapped a few nights where the manager beat the living tar out of a guy and my little brother had to wash the blood away on the pavement before the ambulance came.

      Seemed to much like the movie Roadhouse for me to support them. I go to Neighbors.

        I'd have to know what that guy did to "deserve" it before I passed judgement.

        But then I don't go there during the bar/nightclub hours.

          Is there anything someone could do to deserve this, if true?

            No. But some people would say yes. I have witnessed a Beck's bouncer chase a guy out of the bar only to be punched by the guy's friends down the street. I thought that was kind of stupid to leave your bar and your fellow bouncers behind.

There had to of been 25-30 people that left and went somewhere else to watch it.
              On a commercial account a one week package is $1000. Based on fire code. I don't blame them at all. They tried hard to get something figured out.

                Apparently the guy swung at the manager completely intoxicated and missed. so two bouncers held the guy out back while the manager beat the guy so bloody the ambulance had to be called. Like I said way to much like the movie Roadhouse for my taste. This was Beck's on the hill. The other time was one of those blue hens got plastered and busted some windows across the street on the hill, two bouncers went out and beat the snot out of him and then called the police.

                  Those bouncers and that manager should have been charged and thrown in jail, assuming this story is true. I'd find it shocking that Barmuda would knowingly employ those kinds of people.

                    Maybe he shouldn't have swung at the manager?

                    That was stupid.

                      I don't have much empathy for the victim either, but that doesn't justify what happened afterward.

                        Yeah it's true and yeah they do, but I think it's an unsaid happening. My little brother was a bouncer and front door ID checker. He doesn't make up drama, he hated what happened to the guys, he only worked a year and quit, it wasn't for him. Barmuda isn't squeaky, no bar is, I bet if other bars were looked into there's been happenings that only people on the inside would have knowledge of.

                          Even I thought it was a pretty dumb move on the guys part to take a swing at the manager. It is horrible what happened afterward, and I think it speaks volumes that the manager couldn't settle the problem without using two bouncers to hold a drunk guy and two fists to do the talking.

                            I agree, the guy who took the swing had *something* coming, but not that. The manager and those bouncers weren't in any danger, so they had no right to physically batter someone like that, even if the "had it coming" in a certain sense.

                            Like I said, Barmuda, even with 'night spots' has a very family-friendly, safe atmosphere they promote. I'm sure if they knew about this, they'd be extremely concerned.

                              IF you're taking your family to bars at that time of night, I think Child Protective Services should pay you a visit.

                              places like Beck's On the Hill, the old Tony's, the OP, and the like are really two different type places: decent eateries during the day, and I'm guessing drunken bar scenes at night (wouldn't know, as I avoid those type places)

                                I know that Beck's on the hill, and Mojo's is a different place so is Ice Lounge. I know a fellow anthro major friend was drugged at Mojo's on one occasion (her drink was laced), police documented on that one, the two problems at Beck's on the hill, and yeah.

                                So I guess it's like any other bar, go there if you want to just another consumer beware place like any other I guess. Walk the line and watch your drink.
