One of our favorite places to frequent as of late has been The Mad Hatter, in our previous visits we had met a friendly owner. The owner was out going had great camaraderie with staff, and customers alike. Had our experience continued as before the star rating above would be a five star for sure! Unfortunately like Alice, we would meet the Queen of Hearts... As I mentioned before we had been there previously and had noticed regulars that sat at the bar typing away on lap tops. In previous times it had been a charming room where we could all work on various projects with this magic synergy in the air. When talking with my writing friend that has never ever experienced Kava, I knew the perfect place, and perhaps we would find inspiration. When we arrived the wonderland was occupied by the Queen and her court unbeknownst to us.There was four in our group and we were at the end of the bar closest to the entertainer. My friend's gf seated herself. There were two other seats open. When my partner and I recognized a regular. As we began making room for the regular, the queen of hearts entered. A loud whisper, "Oh no you don't, come talk to me?" The regular walked closer I believe to make the incident more private. The Queen of hearts began chastising the regular for taking a seat from paying customers. She continued telling him he was not wanted there, and he never purchases drinks. She insisted that she was just looking out for him and he needed to leave these nice people alone... At that point I couldn't stand there any longer. I turned to the woman and said, "You need to stop you're making me feel uncomfortable." She insisted I was wrong, and I said no, You're wrong. We were offering our seats, and I don't care if he has bought drink or not he just got here. She said I didn't know the history. I retorted, " You can't do this anymore, denying people a seat at the bar that went out a long time ago, and there's no reason to bring it back. She began yelling at me that this is her sons big moment. I said it doesn't excuse bad behavior, and I have watched people of privilege walk all over everyone without consequence, I refuse to be bystander when someone being racist. She began saying honey I'm the owner's ex wife! The artist briefly tried getting the queen to calm down and then a man with a booming voice began yelling at us ladies to go out side.This was the kings of Hearts as I have since learned. I was floored that no one was reassuring the regular. Later a woman who I thought was a manager was asking my story I explained and she said we just wanted everyone happy. Later she said she was the gf of the owner, clearly my concerns about the queen of hearts was not going to be heard. When I was walking out the Queen of Hearts said good riddance and clapped. I then waited for rest of my group as they quickly paid. This was such a magical place. I was excited with the new projects they have with their new line of Kratom (which I was currently in the middle of reviewing for a blog). "Regular Guy", if you're out there. I genuinely wanted you to have the seat, and I apologize for how you were treated. I won't be returning to this establishment. The environment is way too unpredictable, and I wouldn't want another run in with the Queen or any of her court.
