8th Ave Tap is been an unsafe place ever since the new owner from Milwaukee took over 4 years ago. He just opened another bar in Racine. All he cares about is profit not his customers safety. Cops have been to 8th ave more times than I can count. But yet the city still allows it to say open.
So you’re drunk ass is in the bar every day to know this. It’s not the bar that’s bad it’s the people that don’t take shit from others. No different than this page. The comments are of regulars with sense, all you see are people that don’t have to point names (cowards) as I call them starting shit. If kce was a bar people would get into fights every 10 minutes
My keyboard can beat up your keyboard.
Settle down, Francis.
you still drunk? incoherent ramblings
Fear not, when the casino opens all the slugs will slither over there and fight.
Customer safety is of no concern to the owner who is running a for-profit business establishment that provides employment and economic productivity, not a social safety center. The patrons, not the owner, are responsible for their actions. That said, going into a bar with a socially non-cadent demeanor and mouth among lit up patrons is a neon-light invite to get KO’d cold.
Im reaching out to city monday
I will give him a signature bond and refund at $300 he needs bar money
