Neon Moon — Restaurant in Birmingham

I used to love this place. Then I went with my autistic daughter who is in the spectrum on a Tuesday. She is supper smart, honor student and military dependent. It was her first time there. It was empty. The DJ was great to her, he actually walked up to her, and asked her questions about what songs she wanted. My daughter is honest, and on her third song she called someone stupid, and it was because…the person was negative, she didn’t sing the song to this persons liking, and they were looking at her..like, you can’t sing! This young woman, a bartender, walked up to me and asked me if that was my daughter, “She can’t do that, she will be kicked out for that”, she stated. Not only have I been there on a Thursday, where drunk people walk and stumble into you in the bathroom line, the pee all over the bathroom floors, people scream at the TV because their game is winning….none of these people are told, “you can’t do that”. But I am told this, on a Tuesday, when there is literally only about 10 people in there. I have Stage IV Breast/Bone Cancer, I was just told that I have 2 years to live by Brookwood Hospital, now I am in O’Neil at UAB, and my 21 year old is HAPPY, singing a song, and someone looks at her weirdly, Because she can’t sing good enough for them? My daughter calls them out, and you get pissy? GET OVER YOUR HIGH HORSE. Don’t come to me about something SO MINIMAL. And to think that I made my daughter walk to this bartender to…..APOLOGIZE. My daughter is the girl who was pushing me in a wheel chair a few months ago when I could not walk because of my cancer lesions on my right leg. She HAS MORE HEART than YOU will EVER KNOW. She was born in Oahu, Hawaii, her father is a Retired K-9 Dog Handler who fought for his life in Iraq.

No one was bothered….but this little entitled little girl whining like it was the end of the damn world. Are you kidding me? I even apologized to this bartender myself. Why? Because we are a GOOD FAMILY.

I told my daughter, “I am so proud of you, you sang, 3 songs, and it was your first time there, and I can’t even muster to sing one song, you are a warrior, and brave young girl. To hell with anyone who doesn’t like how you sing a song.

Karaoke is for EVERYONE, not only…for those who can, “sing like a star”. How dare YOU judge ANYONE, or give someone who is up there, being brave, a dirty look.

You get what you get, and you don’t have a fit. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. I have seen people doing worse, and I keep my mouth shut. What a meddling little child. Get a damn life. Let others live.

Unless they are killing someone! Or in a physical...

EDIT- The owner reached out to me and my friends immediately and seems to be taking this very seriously. I’m grateful for the amount of concern and professionalism from them while handling this. Hopefully this was just a one off incident

The bouncer who was working last night needs to be fired. We hadn’t even been there 30 minutes before he came up, accused us of stealing some sort of flag, and frisked the guys in our group. He then started screaming at us, cussing us out, and physically SHOVED one of the women in our group. We never even saw the flag he accused us of stealing. The job of a bouncer is keep people safe, not to pick fights and physically assault the female guests. If you can’t control your agression, pick a different line of work. That man is a MASSIVE liability and needs to go before someone gets...

Neon Moon has the vibe of a disco in a barn, and if that is your vibe then you'll enjoy it! The dance floor is obviously very cool, and the bathrooms are very scantily decorated (very entertaining). The only reason I knock off a star is because when I went there, I was unsure what I wanted to drink and so I told the bartender to surprise me. This resulted in a very cute drink with a gummy worm in it (love that), but it tasted like pickle juice. So that was the only drink I ordered that night, because paying for another felt too risky. Maybe my fault, and I should've just...
