Shakey's — Restaurant in Asheville

Will never come back. Was removed from the bar because a woman who HAD to go to the bathroom and was in a hurry to do so. Got upset when I turned around and said “wait, in line like everybody else”. She had some rude comments to say back, so I defended myself with my words, and she thought it was cool to throw a drink in my face. I walked away at that moment, and the bouncer walked up to me to remove me. I was not belligerent, trying to instigate anything, or even intoxicated to a level that I should’ve been removed. The door guy asked me to leave, so I left. Oh, and the band guys that played the night off 2/16/24, I hope y’all can see this, all of you are weak, and boys. Trying to start a fight outside, looks real cool. I was one man, and there was 5 of you all at one point in my face. None of you did anything. Y’all were scared, y’all will absolutely never go anywhere playing in a bar like shakeys. I’ve seen y’all play there a few times before, so clearly you can’t get any other gigs.

If you support free speech, do not go to shakeys. They will remove you for being a free thinker/speaker, or even just defending yourself verbally. Poor display of professionalism, and a bunch of punks work there that could care less if I was assaulted by a woman who had to urinate before me.

Will absolutely never go back to shakeys, and that is unfortunate, it...

I used to love this place, now they have a bartender who is extremely rude and arrogant. I have only had good experiences with everyone else. If you hate your job so much, find a new one. I’ve gone here too many times with her working and her attitude was always the same, bars are not the place to let the b**ch flag fly, especially when it’s your job to make drinks. My friend was even made to feel unwelcomed for the first time ever in this establishment, we aren’t loud or rowdy, so it’s really uncalled for. It’s not okay, do your job and be polite. Period. Also if you’re dog friendly only to a certain time tell people who bring their dogs BEFORE said time so they can either take their dogs home or choose to leave them in the car. It’s not okay to say your dog friendly and then kick people out abruptly because of their dog because you have a cut off time for pups. My dog is extremely well behaved and has come with me to this bar plenty of times and stayed all night. It’s okay to have new rules of course but again courtesy and politeness needs to be a priority in this...

Went there 3/25/23 the bartender was really rude! Taller white guy with (man bun ponytail) heard hes the owner. My brother brought me a drink and himself one. I was standing behind him in line. I was up next and asked for a beer , before I could even pull my debit card out and pay/tip , he told me this is you guys last drink cause you didn't tip. Remind you this was my was my first time coming to the bar that night. Never received the beer I asked for, he told me the beer was being sold by the entrance. Basically telling me to get out. Never had no altercation nothing!! Like wow that's how you run a business? My brother spent 30 something bucks on the drinks alone . I was next to get a beer and leave a tip!! Never gave me a chance cause he was mad my brother didn't tip him . Gotta treat people better than that, that come spend they had earned money...
