So this evening my roommate, boyfriend and I walked over to the Halfway Cafe in Watertown as we do about once a week. As usual we got some burgers for dinner and a round on drinks to start. Over the 2 hours that we were there along with food, we consumed 4 beverages. But upon asking for our 4th beverage we were told by the waitress that we had "like 5 drinks and we would have to wait to have an additional". Mind you we are all 28-33 years of age (not trying to rage out of control on a Monday night). At no point were we loud or out of control (not even out of our seats).

So at this point we closed our tabs and left the rest restaurant. As soon as we got outside we all had the same feeling. We were cut off and rushed out for no reason. We later found out that they were closing early and instead of telling us this, which we would have understood, they told us we were basically cut off. So since we are adults and clearly weren't intoxicated, we decided not to make a scene by going back in the restaurant and thought we would just call and speak with the manager upon arriving home.

We called the manager, Philip, who felt it unnecessary to introduce himself when he picked up the phone. We attempted to express our concerns/frustrations to the manager, expecting the professionalism that we have received from Halfway Cafe representatives for years. Not only did he not attempt to diffuse the situation and keep us as patrons but he threatened us to "come say it to his face" and then proceeded to hang up on us.

Needless to say, due to Phillip(the manager in Watertown on Monday evenings) we will no longer be conveniently walking down to The Halfway Cafe to spend our money once a week. It may be farther away but we will find a place that makes us feel welcome to frequent.
