| - I think Townhall has good food and I did enjoy a painting event here once, but the atmosphere at night is just not my style. I stopped in with three others one Friday evening and the bartender was friendly, but they were out of a lot of ingredients to make their cocktails (I think it was because they were about to switch over to new flavors?). We moved to a table and enjoyed several items like Smashed Avocado $9, Sweet Potato Skins $9, Chicken Nachos $10, and Paella Flatbread $14.
While we were eating we noticed this young woman, very done up, who was clearly out of her mind intoxicated. I'm talking eyes barely open, bumping into people, randomly dancing by herself, and trying to flirt with every guy who would let her. She had a friend with her, but not a very good one because she kept leaving her to wander around. We couldn't watch this disaster anymore and asked our server to get a manager and have this young lady and her friend go home because we didn't want anything bad to happen with her being so drunk. Apparently other patrons had expressed concern earlier and finally the girl and her friend left. Hopefully to get in an Uber and sober up at home.
Ten o'clock came around this place went from busy to packed, but like packed mostly with white guys in their young twenties unsure of what to do with themselves. There was one older guy who brought his pet rabbit in with him, and there were several young ladies very noticeably not wearing bras, but that was pretty much it.
I'm only 31, but I guess I left this awkward, crowded, college like bar scene a long time ago and it's just not appealing anymore. I don't want to have to shout to my friend a foot away because it's so loud inside. I don't want to witness super drunk young women put themselves in potentially bad situations. I don't want to be surrounded by young guys who are still trying to grow facial hair. I left early for the comfort of my home and have no regrets.
Townhall is a trendy popular place, so if you're into a bustling sausage fest full of "bros", a cougar on the prowl, or just like to get super wasted while partaking in some Non-GMO vegan food with a sparkler in it, then enjoy to your heart's content! Nowadays I prefer going to Whole Foods on Fridays where for $5 I can enjoy 5 wine samples, pick up some single serve dinners, and still get home by nine with plenty of time to put cream on my eye wrinkles.
Seriously though, get take-out or maybe the environment might be better during daylight hours?
Update**
The above was a three star review, but I've had to lower it because of the response I received from Townhall staff. First Kayla B. wrote a comment, but she deleted it and now you see a comment from Alex D.
Alex is upset that I said "white guys" in my review and insinuates this is a racist remark. So let me rephrase that, Townhall lacks diversity. If you are a minority you might feel uncomfortable here. Alex is also upset that I said "young twenties unsure of what to do with themselves". So let me rephrase that, Townhall is full of an immature crowd. If you are aged you might not feel congruous with the atmosphere here. Alex then states that "wardrobe selections are protected free speech". I suggest Alex reads up about human rights and freedom of expression/speech under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the American Convention on Human Rights, or maybe even the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. I for one can't see where its says I'm not allowed to say what I saw: "young ladies very noticeably not wearing bras". I also said I saw a guy with a rabbit, does that mean I've insulted pet owners too?
I like to use a little humor and satire when writing my reviews. In this particular one I even poked fun at myself at the end suggesting I'm just not young/cool enough for the scene at Townhall. And as Alex repeatedly mentions, I am an elite yelper, for several years now actually, and I think it's important for reviews to not just talk about the food and prices, but the patrons full experience including interactions with staff and the environment/crowd they encountered. With artistic license I set the scene for the night I came into Townhall and shared my experience - one review of hundreds that a reader can use to make up their own mind about Townhall.
Alex seems to have taken my review very personally and tried to reprimand me with his comment, but to myself and those I've shared screenshots of his comment with, it appears Townhall just makes themselves look bad with their response. Bless their hearts.
