Ned Peppers Bar — Restaurant in Dayton

i usually have an amazing time here. ever since i turned 21 ive been coming here almost every friday and saturday, but tonight was different. i was enjoying time with my friends a little after 1am, (i was dd so i was just having water) when my friend, who hadn’t been there in almost a year, didn’t know which door the exit was, attempted to go out of the door in the back patio. i grabbed her while still having my entire body inside, and pulled her back. where she was then pushed back out and i was grabbed by both of my shoulders and asked “are you drunk?? you can’t come in this way” i proceeded to tell him no, i was the driver for the night, and my friend went out the wrong door so i pulled her back in, and he said we needed to BOTH go to the front and shoved me out. multiple people saw that we had came from inside. i don’t know where this “security guard” was or what he was doing to be able to not see me clearly by the door from the INSIDE… or to stop my friend from going out the wrong one? but clearly you need to find more help if he is going to put his hands on women who have done nothing wrong and almost kick them out for something they didn’t do because he wasn’t paying attention. he didn’t even apologize for not listening to what i explained to him at first. if it weren’t for the awesome people around us, we would have been thrown out for no reason being accused of “opening the door and coming in”. i’m super disappointed that ned’s had someone like that working for them because every time i come it has been nothing but positive...

I went out for Halloween. I walked to the back and i was just talking with some of my friends near the back patio bar. I saw two black gentlemen approach the bar in the back patio and ask the larger bartender girl for two tequila shots. She rang up the transaction and disappeared without the drinks. When they asked for them, after waiting for 15 minutes, she gaslit them saying they took the shots right in front of her. This never happened because they were never poured. It was a busy night but from where these two gentlemen were standing, how they were patiently waiting and repeatedly asking.

You literally just could not miss them.

It wasn’t that it was busy and she forgot. Her body language and overall aggressive, defensive tonality made it abundantly clear that she didn’t. I would say the added salt to the wound for those patrons is the cover fee. They collectively paid $40 ($20 per person) to get in and get ripped off.

Thank you Ned Peppers Bar for the harsh reminder to always pregame so I am myself am not...

This place is unbelievably bad. I was forcefully removed from the bar when a bouncer forced me from the bar stool. Extremely amazing considering I was a designated driver and did nothing to warrant being treated this way!! Apparently they have a terrible policy to remove ALL bar stools at a given hour (believed to be 10:30) that way it's standing room only....... Haha!! This was a total joke as the place was pretty dead for Friday. But the joke was on them in the end because when I was thrown out I took the 15 others in my party with me!!!!!! Sweet revenge for such an asinine policy and disrespect to customers........ We took 25% of their business out the door that night and hopefully much more for good with this post....
