It is with great concern and distress that I must report the appalling behavior witnessed at this establishment. The employees' conduct was reprehensible and demands immediate attention.
The bouncers, entrusted with maintaining order and safety, escalated with enthusiastic glee and showed no restraint in their violent use of physical force to subdue patrons who dared to question their authority. They relished in their power and took pleasure in physically assaulting innocent customers.
The bartenders, lacking basic customer service and human decency, transformed minor disagreements into violent and volatile confrontations. As the night wore on and alcohol flowed freely, the employees became increasingly hostile, abusive, and bigoted. They seemed to take perverse pleasure in belittling and intimidating those around them.
Their behavior was made even worse by their deceitful practices and discriminatory actions. Customers who politely requested to not be yelled and screamed at during last call were met with physical assault, demonstrating a complete and utter disregard for the safety and well-being of patrons. This sickening display of inhumanity cannot be tolerated.
To make matters worse, it appeared that the employees were under the influence of hard drugs, in addition to alcohol. This led them to behave in a depraved manner, emboldened by their inebriated state. They seemed to take pleasure in abusive and hateful treatment of those around them, blaming their patrons for their own shortcomings.
This establishment is an affront to the honor and dignity of all VFWs, and its employees are unfit to be in the service industry, let alone entrusted with the responsibility of keeping others safe. They engage in bigoted discrimination, lying, and violent criminal activity.
It is incumbent upon the community and its leaders to hold this establishment accountable for the actions of its employees and demand a higher standard of behavior from those entrusted with people's safety and well-being. Innocent patrons will continue to be subjected to the repugnant behavior of these contemptible employees, who are bigoted, dangerous, violent, prejudiced, and hateful cretins.
In conclusion, authorities must investigate this establishment for its regular illegal and violent criminal activity. Those responsible must be held accountable, and a higher standard of behavior must be demanded from all those in the service industry for the safety and well-being of our community. The time for action is now

Where do I begin? An Uptown staple! You will have a different experience every time you go to the VFW. Make sure to check out the big stage room for random events, djs, and obscure touring acts. Karaoke room is one of the best in the world I'm sure! Great host and quality equipment you literally will not find anywhere else. With inflation, drinks are at that 7-9 range and you have a place where anyone 21-101 feels comfortable. Some of the staff don't want to be there, but hey it's like living with some of your relatives.
