A pub was left "frustrated" after a group of 30 drunk punters made "an absolute mess" when they crashed its small beer garden.
The director of one of Manchester's leading craft breweries, the Marble Tap Room, said they managed to get in and avoid the government's rule of six by making five separate bookings.
The large group of punters arrived at the Salford venue on Saturday already drunk, danced on tables, then left within half an hour after finding out that the brewery didn't serve Blue WKD or Jagermeister.
And to make things worse some of them also left the pub, which serves craft beer and pizzas, with a few of its glasses, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Marble's director Jan Rogers branded the group "rude and arrogant" and said he was "frustrated" they had taken revenue away from the venue as people wanting to sit were turned down due to overcrowding.
The tap room's general manager Mars Pascale tweeted on Saturday: "5 individual bookings of 6 turned out to be the same birthday party.
"Showed up already p***ed with bottles of booze on them.
"Made an absolute mess for 30 min, went to the toilets 5 at the time, complained cause we didn’t have Jäger.
"They left straight away, luckily. C***s."
She added: "It wasn’t great, but at least they only stayed half an hour -otherwise I would have had to kick them out. Shame we lost those tables money, as they were supposed to stay all night, but the atmosphere was so much better after they left"
A tweet from the Marble Tap Room page stated: "FYI, if you’re thinking of booking several tables using different names/email accounts, just to turn up as the same big party and drunkenly mix between tables, (or dancing on them) ignoring the rules..think again. Stay home. Or chose another venue."
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Jan said: "They made the bookings under different names and email addresses - I don't know what we could have done.
"I didn't even think about the implications it would have had with licensing and legislation, for us it was more that they turned up half-cut, they were p***ed when they turned up, they were rude and arrogant.
"They walked off with some glasses too, so that was annoying. Just really childish behaviour.
"But they quite quickly realised we didn't have the sort of drinks they wanted - they were asking for blue WKD and that's not what we do!
"Mars said she'd had to turn people away because there were so many booked tables, so it was frustrating that they ended up empty.
"We're a nice quiet spot, there's us and Beer Nouveau and Runaway, just quieter hidden beer gardens for people who don't necessarily want to be in the massive party in town."
The independent business is now based in Salford, and operates a small outdoor beer garden attached to its microbrewery on Boston Court serving craft beers and pizzas.
Fellow beer brand Seven Bro7hers runs a similar taproom concept nearby.
Marble is also behind the much-loved Marble Arch pub in the city centre, which hopes to open its small beer garden in the coming weeks.
