Discrimination isn't a crime in America, but it should be. Although other white males in front of me had on "runners" I couldn't get in because I didn't have the "right kind of shoes on" for a Sunday. People of color beware. I was the only person of color in line with roughly 20 people. The security guard said, "You can stay at the downstairs bar but you can't go upstairs".
To begin with, I was wearing a hat and asked if there was a dress code at the front door, and the door man said no so I waited in line for approx. 20 minutes. After the first doorman checked checked my passport he allowed me in. The next line was for the elevators and another security guard looked me in the face and down at my feet and immediately walked over to tell me to say I wouldn't be allowed upstairs. At that time, I pointed at two white males directly in front of me and stated that they too we're wearing running shoes. He said, those are different kinds of runners.
It was clear that he wasn't going to let me up so I turned and left, took a picture of the sign and front doorman, and took a bus back to my hotel.

Read moreWe had our work Xmas here last night. Awful!!
Service with a bad attitude and a waiting period (had to wait for the barman to finish chatting up the girl. He was from Bournemouth she was from Leeds had she been here long? how was she enjoying her time here I’ve been bartendering for a while blah blah blah) Food took 2.5hrs to arrive. $90 per platter and all I got was 2 chicken nuggets and a spring roll The rain came pouring in drenching the floors tables and chairs. Nobody mopped up the floors or put out a caution when wet sign. When my manager hit up the barman about the wait time on the food and the portion sizes he was told if he didn’t like it go somewhere else.
We chose Dandys because we’d heard good things! We have all worked so hard this year we wanted to come out and celebrate a job well done but the attitude of the staff and the horrible service was...
Read moreHad a really great time on a Sunday night, this place is very casual and laid back. The venue was holding a 'ball' which was advertised with a more formal dress code but I found people wearing sneakers and casual clothing.
Staff and really chatty and I found the security were surprisingly very friendly, making conversation with everyone and even doing a bit of dancing. Basics were $6 that night.
There was a good range of music, mostly pop with a few throw backs. There's plenty of seating around the rooftop and there's a nice view of the city. The colourful roof does enhance the atmosphere and gives the place a fun and lively vibe.
Overall I'd see myself coming here from time to time, more likely on Sundays as I think there are places in the Valley that are better on...
