Brooklyn Bar Raises Drinking Age to 25 Because Young People Are Annoying
From Observer.com -
Phil’s Crummy Corner will only serve alcohol to patrons 25 and older on weekend nights. The decision comes after hordes of complaints from nearby residents about rowdy, loud late-night crowds—often present at the “family restaurant” until 4a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Now, 21-24-year-olds will have to look elsewhere for their vodka-Redbulls. Phil’s manager, Isabel Santiago, explained “Their quality of life is our concern,” she said, presumably referring to the masses of binge-drinking youths known to frequent her establishment. Phil’s is apparently working to create a “quiet family place,” and has recently hired a bouncer.
A resident who lives near Phil’s said “You will be shocked about the number of conversations you can hear from my bed,” “They’re animals. Friday and Saturday night, it’s like animal town.”
