Waypoint Public House - Madison

Good afternoon, Team Waypoint! Just wanted to follow up via reviews as I felt this would be the best way to address the experience me and my girlfriend had at your establishment. My girlfriend is 28 and I am 29. My girlfriend came to waypoint to meet her friends, her friends and her have been regulars on Wednesdays for a while now. There is a group of about 8-10 of them that all spend about 50-100 dollars each while we dine. So, in theory that 's about 3,000-4,000 dollars a month gross revenue per month from this group of people. My girlfriend called me and asked that I come join her and her friends, so I did. We had a good time and drank for about 2-3 hours and ate some food. My girlfriends ' friends ended up leaving around 9pm. Me and my girlfriend stayed for a bit to finish our drinks and chat just the two of us. Soon after her friends left, my girlfriend and I had a disagreement and started to argue amongst ourselves at the corner of the bar. At this point the dining area is closed, and there is only 4-5 people at the bar entirely. Most of the people at the bar being solo patrons which we could obviously tell were kind of ease dropping occasionally, which is expected, I would do the same, as humans are curious beings especially due to no-one else really being present besides for maybe 5-8 others total. After about 30min of discussing amongst ourselves without being warned or told to please quite down, and at this point neither my girlfriend or I believed we were and issue to anyone or the establishment at all. We had just spent about 150 dollars between me and my girlfriend and were definitely slightly under the influence, we probably had 3 doubles over 3 hours. So, we weren 't at all drunk, but probably being louder than expected, but what is the issue? it 's a bar at 10pm. Anyways, at this point, a bartender who told me his name was GUY came up to us and said, he was sorry, and he didn 't want to put himself in this conversation, but that we needed to leave because we had been Bickering for too long. I responded Wait, what? Sorry sir, but what do you mean we have to leave because we have been Bickering for too long, that doesn 't really sound fair sir My girlfriend immediately tried to deescalate the situation and explained that she and her friends are regulars, and we weren 't trying to be an issue to anyone at the establishment or make a scene, at this point we definitely thought we would be asked to quiet down, but not asked to be removed as we haven 't been warned or ever talked to once by anyone at this point... When my girlfriend tried to explain herself, he responded back to her saying that he drew the line at domestic abuse . At this point, we both believe he 's insinuating that i beat my girlfriend or said something along those lines.... WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. My girlfriend immediately defended me, saying, whoa... my boyfriend would never touch me? We love each other... What are you even talking about ? He responded back, no I wasn 't referring to him beating you, but my girlfriend beating me . Once we heard this, she was shocked, i thought it was kind of funny to be honest, but why is the bartender ease dropping on our conversation? Why is he not warning us to be quiet if we are being louder? and how can you make an accusation that drastic without even speaking to us prior... At this point, the bartender has crossed the line, these are extremely serious accusations to be bringing up to customers, especially when my girlfriend is 115 lbs. and 5 '2 and I am 190 at 6 '2 ... Just seems kind of a reach for a bartender to be removing someone from the bar over this, especially when we haven 't been warned or spoken to and have been there for 3 hours with a party who comes regularly weekly and spends about $3,000 a month at this establishment. To be clear, my girlfriend and I have never laid hands on each other once, never intend to and are in love with each other. I understand as bartenders or owners you have the right to remove people, but this was wrong.
