As for the improv actor, it's sort of a balance between overenthusiastic and stepping too far back to let others play, and s/he needs to learn that balance--but you'd think an improv actor would've learned that balance by now.
Though the bartender may walk away, but I'm sure you didn't explicitly say he did. Why you'd even have a confidential conversation in a very populated hangout like a bar is something that baffles me. Even though it probably happens all the time, in fiction and life.
What kind of stuff is Player #2 even doing, though? Unless Player #3 is an ogre, there's some very interesting incident I want to hear about.
Player #3 is an ogre, actually. Well, an eight-foot-one amoral half-ogre. And then Player #2 cast Enlarge Person...rampage ensues. The city they live has strict regulations on magic, so this isn't the sort of thing people see every day. The ensuing panic and property damage (not to mention the attention it drew to the PCs and the secretive guild to which they belong) was extensive, but the players in question treated it like a minor prank. Which is not how either of them normally RP.
Sounds about how I thought it went down. Reflex made me type "That makes more sense" and then I realise it doesn't. That just seems so off. There's no plausible reason for that, but at least there's a lot of possible, interesting consequences.
"Let's all sit in the crowded tavern and talk about our secret plan at the top of our lungs! Oh, I'm sorry serving-girl, we thought you'd gone back to the kitchen."
