My recent experience at Hanna’s bar has left me deeply troubled and disappointed. During a routine visit, my wife, who is not a service member herself but carries a military ID for various reasons, accidentally presented it while trying to order a drink. To our shock, the bartender outright refused to serve her upon seeing the military ID.
This incident highlights a concerning misunderstanding and discrimination against military personnel and their families. It's unacceptable that someone would be denied service simply because they are associated with the military. As a veteran, I've always appreciated establishments that honor and respect service members and their families, but this experience at Hannah’s Bar was disheartening.
I urge the management of Hannah’s Bar to educate their staff about the importance of inclusivity and fair treatment for all customers, regardless of their background or association with the military. Discrimination in any form should not be tolerated, and it's essential for businesses to create an environment that is welcoming to everyone.
This is for the bartender who worked Sunday night, May 12th, short with the glasses.
Kareoke hosted by Katie is so much fun. The stage happens to be up by the front window so during Lakefair, passersby were cheering for whomever was up there so that’s fun. There’s a good mix of performers! Like, from a dude who sounds and vibes just like Eddy Vedder, to some cool stranger who did my favorite Dead Kennedys song (the b side of Holiday in Cambodia-iykyk) allll the way down the talent drain to me (no talent but lots of heart) “singing” Bob Segar. Good times!
