My husband and I were attacked by "a regular" in this establishment last night. It was a Monday and our day off so we decided to go out to have a few shots and play some pool. We have been coming to the Owl and thistle for three years now. It's not the nicest place but the staff knows our names and they are nice to us. This guy at the bar starts calling me the b-word and just being really mean to me for no reason. I thought talking to people and socializing is ok when drinking at a bar. So, my husband and I decide to leave. I left and then realized I didn't have my sweater, which is still missing. We walk inside to look around and the guy attacks my husband, rips his shirt and then we get kicked out. WHAT? Standard practice when there has been a fight is to kick both parties out. He is still sitting at the bar, drinking his beer? We were treated terribly. We were treated like we had attacked him. Ridiculous. I will never give another dime to these people. I no longer feel safe in The Owl and Thistle. This drunk guy should have been cut off a long time ago. Instead, WE were disrespected, I was called names, my husband was attacked and thrown to the ground, the drunk guy ripped his shirt, I was unable to get my belongings and then we were kicked out with no support from the employees who I thought would see the situation fairly. Terrible experience, I don't recommend anyone going to this bar. If you do, watch your back.
Pros: Used to be able to relax and have a good time.
Cons: If you are "a regular" you'll get the service you deserve.
