WAR VET TREATED LIKE BUM

by dakotajoe

What made it unique or special time.... Maybe its because i was singled out as not being a NYU Yuppie Frat boy.. but they forced me out while i was attempting to leave and DENIED and medical request after my shirt was ripped and my back was bleeding.And left me outside for 4 hours until i could speak to a manager who looked liked he just left the food court by the local American Eagle. I had numerous threats from members of their staff and from many of their "security" guards. One in particular said " wait until I get off , then we can do this for reals"

Maybe its just me but that sounds like a trashy place to me. I also forgot to mention i am a Disabled American Veteran who suffers from PTSD and arthritis up and down my back with sporadic bulging disks. At the time had a fractured toe and was using a cane. This same cane was thrown 20 feet into the street along with my bag while they continued to tell me to leave and "get out of their face"

Another patron who claimed to be co owner spent close to an hour poking fun at me, calling me a loser, telling me that "just cause you fought in Iraq, it doesn't mean sh!t in the U.S. This same individual said "the next time i see you, i am going to end your life (cant use the K word) you."

The Town Tavern claims they do not know this individual but i have found his photo on their face book and he was allowed to drink after hours while i waited outside for some type of attention.First they said i was removed for "being to loud". Then when the cops came a 4:30 they stated " i was drinking other people's drinks"

This Bar is shady and i would use caution if you plan to get a drink by yourself their. Alot of patrons or bar locals work with the security and staff. Watch your back If you notice people staring. Its a good chance they might not want you there and might take any actions necessary to get you out of the picture.

All i know is i was a paying customer who was assaulted verbally and physically and denied medical attention. This bar will always be known to me as the bar that doesn't deserve the freedom i fought for. It took away months of therapy of which i was finally starting to feel like a normal citizen and not a freak. Now i am back to square one thinking NO ONE in this city give's a f@#k who is fighting and dying, cause it is not them. NYC let me down big time. I thought the towers fell here so you would have compassion for veterans. Guess not. Thank you The Town Tavern, Thank you for proving the point that the only people who care about the REAL hero's are the hero's themselves.

F@*k you very much

• Pros: bad vibes
• Cons: superficial lacerations to my already arthritic back

Great Place to have a FUNDRAISER

by fundraisergal

A friend and myself hosted a fundraiser for 30+ people. All I had to do was reserve the space and the 2 folks I worked with were very helpful and accomodating on what I was looking for. I didn't have to pay for anything and they provided a large tray of apps, a space for my party, a guest bartender who was a friend and a $300 gift certificate to Town Tavern that I used in the raffle. The managers were attentive and helpful whenever I needed anything. I would recommend having a party/fundraiser/social/happy hour here if your looking for a place!

• Pros: Great Happy Hour!

Awesome Happy Hour Spot

by Xtina1725

The Town Tavern is a great place for happy hour after work. Conveniently located to many trains and right in the heart of Greenwich Village. A nice mixed crowd. The staff is really nice and accommodating and they have great happy hour party deals.

• Pros: Cheap Drinks & Friendly Staff
• Cons: Cheesey Posters of Girls Selling Drinks
