We came tonight to hear #Urban #Poetry in #Downtown #Phoenix. Supporting the arts instead of thug life, we were shocked to see the owner call and kick out the poetry group for curse words on their t-shirts and poetry they do not like (no one even took the mic). Meanwhile, the empty venue was filled with patrons the comedy troupe brought in ordering drinks and dinner that would have been better down the road. The Duce may have censored our evening, but they have now also censored their clientele.
My husband said it would've been more proper to let the event happen and then not allow it to happen again if it was something that bothered you but once you agreed to it and this many people put in effort behind it put it on their calendar mark it off as a night to go out on the town you don't screw your customers that way. and yes of course he should've done his homework which I'm sure now he will put a process in place but that doesn't affect all of the people that were there last night. If he wants this kind of white homogenous restaurant he should've opened in Chandler not downtown Phoenix. So rude, so uncalled for, so done with that place and their TERRIBLE parking and $160 vest sweatshirts. Who do they think they are? Solace was watching the entire place empty out into nothing as we left.
