We already knew Bedivere was awesome<\/a>, but now, pretty much the rest of the world does as well. <\/p>\n

Over the last week, the Hamra neighborhood bar and restaurant\u2019s name has gone viral across the web, earning recognition on popular websites like Buzzfeed<\/a>, Huffington Post<\/a> and Gawker<\/a> after a redditor took a photo<\/a> of Bedivere\u2019s phone policy and posted it on the user-driven-content site.<\/p>\n

The policy? Hand your phone over to the bartender at Bedivere and you’ll automatically receive a 10 percent discount on your bill. <\/p>\n

Bottom line: If you don\u2019t want to socialize, have fun and hang out with cool people, then don\u2019t go to Bedivere. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n
