The Lark Street Tavern — Restaurant in City of Albany

So as a nonbinary person I was pulled out of a bathroom by a bouncer, and it just made me feel unsafe. Since I'm trans and was dressed femininely but also am biolocigally male & nonbinary I ended up going to the men's room, since I'm still early in my transition I kind of feel nervous going into a women's bathroom. I just wanted to go into the stall and pee and leave. However on doing so the bouncer comes in and called me out, and tells me to tell him what I identify as and that I can only go into the men's bathroom since that's the one I chose to go into. Honestly I was just scared and and could feel that bouncer staring at me the whole time I was there. It just felt like such a breach of privacy, if I was more masculine presenting on that day would I have been called out of the bathroom in such an emberressing situation and had to have felt scared liker that? I never want to go back here again, I had one drink and just sat there nervous and I just wanted to celebrate my freinds...

This is completely unacceptable behavior from a bouncer and i will never be going back to this bar. Fire that man NOW. You will lose business from so many college students that live in Massachusetts because of this guys discrimination against massholes. I don’t know if he’s a Yankees fan or what but this is...

Short bouncer with a beard is violent and instigating. Would not let go of me after asking what the whole story was, i was not drunk which is reflected on my $33 tab. When trying to leave he continued to hold my collar and wouldn’t let me leave, taller security guard understood the small guard was in the wrong and was able to let me be released. Overall an unobservant and under educated establishment that needs to have a better comprehension of...
