Calumet Ethnic Lounge Bar — Restaurant in Yerevan

Totally racist, aggressive and rude staff. They asked me to leave after my friend mentioned my nationality. At first I couldn’t understand why the barman is constantly whispering in the ears of the bouncer and staring at me but I was totally surprised when they asked me to leave. When I asked the reason, the guy just waved his head. It wasn’t until I left the bar that my friend came out and explained that they suddenly became hostile once my nationality was mentioned.

Note to Google Maps Staff: Thanks for removing my previous review for calling out these racist people. Makes a good case for writing more about the shady practice of google in other platforms. I will make sure my voice and experience will be heard on other social...

Avoid this place if you are a tourist or alone.

After I read bad reviews, I went there alone. A racist security was there telling me " couples only" I knew that. Then he told me to go to Beatles instead.

When I passed this bar later again, two men went in together!!! The security did not say anything. Now I have witnessed that a gay couple went in, and a security didn't stop them. No problem coz they (two men) were a couple.

Stay away from this place.

Overall it gives off the clear impression that they think they are doing you a favor by letting you in and serving you... which is what most people are trying to escape by visiting Yerevan. Won’t be going there again and will be telling my friends, family and anyone that will listen to do the same. 10 of the same negative experiences forced me to leave my only...
