Martha's Vineyard — Restaurant in Springfield

I love Martha’s! I always feel safe every time I go here, and the drinks are good! The only complaints is that last night when I went, the music was horrible. Half of the songs were stuff that me and my friends have never heard, and the transitions from one song to another was not good at all. The other complaint was that whenever I paid for my entry, I walked past the security not knowing Martha’s now scans as I haven’t been to this establishment in over a year and that is something very new, plus I did not see a scanner in sight. I only walked a few steps past the security guard and stopped a few feet away from him as I was waiting for my friends to pay and he shouted in the loudest, most rudest voice “hey” and pretty much drew unnecessary attention to the situation. I understand that it’s his job and that we are scanned for safety measures, but it was an honest mistake plus I was close enough to where he literally could have said “hey miss” in a normal tone rather than yelling at me like I’m a criminal and causing a scene. This honestly ruined my mood for the entire night as it was super embarrassing and now I’m kind of iffy on if I will return for a while. Other than the rude security and the music though, it was an okay time, and every other time I’ve been here had...

I really don't even have to explain my rating... As most know already how this establishment is, but I'll go ahead for the points. Kudos to them for having one of the dirtiest establishments in Springfield. Underage drinking amongst many other things happening. I feel like the labor board and city of Springfield needs to hear that I personally am owed legal wages from the past as I never was paid. Along with many other individuals. Not only for show purposes, but other work that was done for their establishment. There is nothing legal about this company (which many know already) and I really wish that they would get it together as there really are not many places in Springfield that welcomes gays, drag queens, etc. I hope that one day they wake up to realize before they end up being closed down. How many citations does one company need to get the picture?! Look at the history... It's not as positive as they try to make it out to be. Best wishes Martha's. It's not all employees thats causing this as some truly are genuine individuals stuck in a mess of a situation/trying to make a name for themselves/have bills to pay/etc. Since you had to ask me about this place google... Here it is.. Now give me my...

this place USED to be something great. I've been going since 2002 and it was a great place where people were accepted no matter what. it has since turned to a place where people are mistreated, disrespected, and used and thrown away. that fact is that there are several newer and BETTER venues for the LGBTQ community that ACTUALLY promote community and TOGETHERNESS, who's drinks are much better priced, and whose shows are much better. It truly hurts me to turn my back on this place that has brought me so many happy memories in the past but the truth is that Martha's Vineyard died years ago. A group I came with recently came to cover the pride event and ended up leaving because they were treated rudely from the staff as well as yelled at by others working the event. once we left they proceeded to unfriend and then block my entire group on FB since they got the videos and the event promoted FOR FREE and then were told not to come back. Ridiculous I fully expect this post to be removed so just in case I screenshot this and will repost as many times...
