I found the barmaid to be stroppy and unpleasant to me..She barred me in the end because I said to her she pleasant to everyone else with a smile except for me..based on that she got one of her bar staff to throw me out while I had been waiting 3 hours to see a performer, spending money and drinking.

I complained to one of the bar staff who kind of brushed it off, when another man saw us & came over and said loud & clear to us in our faces FIVE REAL SLAVES FOR SALE at which point my friend (who is a black woman) walked out of the pub. I've tweeted the manager who seems like a generally trash human being but idk if anything will come of it there or...
