Dancing Bear Pub — Restaurant in Waco

I was there March 16th. With two fellow coworkers from over sea. The are eruopean. 10 females entered the establishment. I offered to buy them beers. If they inky say they where Baylor university. After buying the females beer. I was told. I was cut off for being to intoxicated. My euro friends told the statement. I was not intoxicated and he would pay for the rounds. We where then told we where not welcome and asked to leave . I am a very easy going person. So at that point I had to ask my commands to leave. The translations takes a min. Because they do not speak English. I tried to explain to rude owners or managers than it takes a min. To translate but we're heading towards the door . When a rude. Owner or manager grabbed my arm to escort me . I snatched my arm away and instructed him to. Do not ever touch my person. This is and assault. On my body and self imagine in public. I did inform him if he needs to call the local authorities. I'm ok with that. But DO NOT EVER TOUCH ME. Then several people gather around and grabbed me ..

Finally almost all of the beers on tap are can be found at other places in town (e.g., even a place like Old Chicago has a lot of overlap because they get their beer from same distributor, just to name one). Further, there are several options downtown with friendlier service and better happy hour pricing (Barnett's, Waco Ale Co., Southern Roots Brewery, Cricket's, etc), so I usually go to these...
