Mik's — Restaurant in Coeur d'Alene

They wouldn’t take my sisters military id.

Edit because the line above is more of a heading.

A group of about 15 of us came to this bar. We were celebrating because my sister was getting married the next day. Most of our party is from Colorado so we all had Colorado IDs, including my sister. Most of our group had already entered the bar with those IDs being sufficient. When my sister tried to come in they denied her entry because her ID was “fake”. We asked if they could scan the ID or finger print her to prove it was real and they said no. She then left to get her military ID. Our group was pretty frustrated at this point because we were here to celebrate her and she was the only one they wouldn’t let in. The staff were rude and unprofessional and unfair to my sister. We all decided to leave because they wouldn’t let her in and when she finally got her military ID and brought it to them they said “we don’t care we aren’t letting you in.” She was crying and we were frustrated. We did accidentally take a glass out in our hurry to leave to console my sister. Overall, very disappointed with this place. We did go to a few other bars after this and had no issue...

Come here all the time but won’t be returning. Last night my friend and I waited for two and a half hours by the beer pong table then somebody claiming they knew the owner wrote their names before us. We were upset but we still let them go first then after they lost the game it was our turn to go and then they claimed that they signed up for two games and that we couldn’t play. How do you tell somebody they haven’t been waiting that they walked away from the table? Also how they can do whatever they want because they know the owner absolutely ridiculous the bouncers came up and forced us out just because we were saying how do you lose a game and then don’t leave the table after you already butted it in front of us? IF THERE IS AN ISSUE RESOLVE IT DONT KICK SOMEONE OUT FOR HAVING...

There are rumors this used to be a safe and inclusive bar, for everyone. It saddens me that this is the best our town can offer. Every time I've gone here, I leave disappointed at how unwelcoming both the bar and the guests make my friends and I feel. I hope one day they will make more of an effort to welcome those of us that aren't exactly straight. It's a really cool spot with good music.

If you're looking for something similar but more welcoming of all crowds, maybe check out NYNE in Spokane. It's a drive, but at least it's inclusive. You don't have to be secretive there.

Mik's has the potential to be a really nice club again with a little work. Like even just a flag or something to help draw in those of the Q+ community, or signs or something, it would...
