my friend & 1 arrived here at 12:30am expecting to stay untill closing which was 2am. The fake security start kicking everbody out at 1:17am. By 1:25 he apporaches us in a rude manner stating " when i finish my cigarette you better be done drinking and be out" as me and my friend burshed him off and started talking about the situation among each other the bartender Abby randomly chimes our converstion being passive arrgesive and rude.
