17-16 Bar — Restaurant in Auburn

Why would this be a place that mistreats and excludes people with AUTISM?? This question is based on my experience of being mistreated and excluded from 17-16, as an ordinary, autistic person.

The person associated with 17-16 said that I can't come to the bar anymore. I did not do anything to deserve being excluded and treated like that. I still feel personally hurt, because of this mistreatment.

It is important that you care about all of your patrons, not just some of them. I would add that, the person who decided this (not knowing that I have autism, when he decided that), can make this right. I would that I also can forget this, as if it never happened, if I'm able to come to the bar, as I have before.

As it is, this is my experience from how I was treated: if you try to be social at 17-16 in your own way, and someone feels uncomfortable with you (even if you haven't actually done anything wrong, but was just misperceived), then you can be told that you can't come to 17-16 ever again. This was the horrible experience I went through, as a patron of 17-16, and I expect it to be made right, because it is really not right for a social business to treat a patron who has autism, like this.

I just want to be able to come and socialize, like any other ordinary, young...

I have been to 1716 before, and I Had a great time. Tonight, I went to find my best friend at the bar and I didn’t have cash on me, thankfully, the bouncer at the door allowed me to ask the bartender for cash so I could pay him and get my ID back. Unfortunately, I had to deal with COOKIE, and she was so incredibly rude but somehow at the most popular bar during rush hour. I was trying to politely get her attention while she kept ignoring me for other patrons. Eventually she answered me but told me to “stop yelling at her” and I sai I’m not yelling at her I’m just trying to get money to pay the bouncer. She was incredibly rude and told me she wouldn’t serve me. I decided to go back to the bouncer who tried to help me but didn’t know who I was talking about. Her name is cookies and she kept giving me dirty looks across the bar even after I left her alone and went to the opposite side of the bar. She had it out for me for no reason. I know teenagers usually frequent this bar, but I’m a grown adult and when COOKIE had a bouncer kick me out, I was embarrassed and I will NEVER come back to 1716. Skybar is...

Racist, illegal, and should be shut down. Tried going with some graduate students. One happened to be an international student that arrived in country about 2 months ago. Upon trying to go in and get a wristband , they immediately asked only the international student for ID (who obviously looked over 30) which the international student provided. They denied the international student entry stating that they only accepted American ID (which unfortunately is their right). Later, my white friend (who looks like they could be underage) went in and they gave her a wristband without even asking for ID. Unfortunately it’s not too surprising looking at previous reviews about this place and learning that the owner is the same guy who owns Skybar. This is a gross display of racial profiling and a racist way of conducting business and it’s a shame that businesses and business owners like this are allowed to operate in our lovely village...
