    Yep, seen some good shows at this place. Too bad the bartenders are such dicks.

    in my experience at bar 4, it's usually really busy in there and they have the added unpleasant task of trying to keep people from being too loud during performances. yeah, real bummer that the staff looks out for the artists -- what a bunch of dicks for actually trying to ensure that performers make the most of their stage time.

    i've been going out as either performer or participant for the last.....10 years. in that time, i've figured out a few things. if an acoustic set is great, the audience quiets itself enough to enjoy the show, like at barbes, freddy's, national underground, merc lounge etc..these sets take place in BARS, where there is DRINKING and maybe even socializing. It ain't a church dude. we are a self policing bunch, and i don't appreciate the control freaks at bar4 whether i am on stage or in the audience.
    if it's a comedy show and my audience is becoming a distraction--trust me, i can handle it. THAT'S WHAT COMEDIANS DO. when i brought my friend who runs an open mic to Bar4, he thought the degree of shusshing and audience control was hilarious, and we left in stitches.
    THAT was funny.

    well, sorry, but we're not a "tear the audience apart with insults because I'm a comic" sort of show. it's not a comedy club or in a private room so the assistance from bartenders setting the mood and level of respect they give the performer and ask of the audience is what we're trying to cultivate. no worries that it's not your style chipster, you've made your point clear. We've got a positive vibe so leave us be to do what we like, because it works out great for us.

    I liked Bar 4 until I walked in there one evening to hear a band play and could not get around the strollers and toddlers. I don't feel comfortable drinking around babies, so I split. I never had a real problem with any of the Bar 4 bartenders -- just some weird interactions -- but if they are controlling dickhead bartenders, than I wish they would control those babies out the door. In all fairness, I have only seen strollers once at Bar 4, but once is enough. Any bar that has babies when I walk in is not a place I hang, even if a band I like is playing. God help me if I got drunk enough to and throw up on a baby.

    Hey, The Chipster, maybe the bartenders were shushing the audience so the audience would not wake up the babies sleeping peacefully in their strollers.

    Fwiw I've been to bar4 probably 100 times in two years (used to live across the st) and I've never seen a child or a stroller

    huh. i've never seen babies in there--but there are nuff threads on that! seriously, a good bar/barkeep makes it or breaks it. i'm married, so i'm not even flirting/laughing/talking when i'm there!
    nothing beats stony married silence to judge the absurd antics of anal bartenders. i feel sorry for those who take dates there only to be shushed into embarrassment.

    Wait... you don't talk or laugh at the bar because you're married? Where do I sign up for that?

    I went here for one of the comedy shows a few months ago and I definitely saw kids in the back playing games. While it was weird, it didn't bother me that much I guess.

    yeah, we laughed for the first 7 years or so.
    i am here to say wtf is with the media only portraying single people envying married people? don't you know it works both ways?
