I'm so disappointed to update my review on the Quarry because we've enjoyed it for several years, but it only takes one bad incident to keep you from coming back, right?
We were in on Saturday 5/7 to see our favorite CLE cover band. We travel about 30 minutes to the Quarry, but the band is worth it... as we see a lot of other fans travel out to the Quarry too. In this tiny little bar, the band easily draws a crowd of 15.
Okay, I'll get to the point. Somewhere later in the evening, some guy walks up to the band and it looks like he's asking them something. Lead singer responds and same guy starts yelling at them. My friend said 'Oh yeah, that's the owner'. He's yelling at them about the sound and being a total jerk about 'This is my bar and if you don't do what I say you can leave and I won't pay you S#@%'. It was so uncomfortable and unprofessional. I couldn't believe he'd have that conversation in the middle of their set on stage.
Then we remembered another time he popped in really late, seemed hammered and just went up to the mic and started yelling 'I own this bar!' like he was on some crazy ego trip.
The bartenders are so awesome, it just seems like it's run by a crazy person who can't handle business professionally. Not sure if I'll be going back.....
