i’ve been coming here since i was 18… 24 now. i’ve always had a great time until today. i am in the military getting deployed in a month. my family and i came here to have a good time after the passing of our 17 yr old cousin last week. as we came my military ID was checked and passed got the wrist band… few minutes later while still at the front. i am approached by a worker asking to check my ID once again. i told her it was already checked and i paid and they insisted on checking it. they said that they have gotten fake IDs… so i asked… if they thought mine was fake? cause it was already approved. they said no they just need to check. if they don’t think it’s a fake ID why check my ID. and why recheck once it’s been checked and i’ve PAID. i feel like i was discriminated. because i am a WOMAN in the SERVICE… i didn’t look like i was in the service. so they doubted my ID was real after it had already been approved. it is wrong to discriminate me just because i am a woman and might not look the military stereotype
i feel completely belittled for what i am doing for my country.
after a while we head to the bar to get something to drink. my cousin (male) had been waiting for at least 15-20 mins waiting to be helped. other people came up and they were helped before him. he came to us and said i think im being ignored and asked my girl cousin to go. so she goes up and is ignored too. so i approached her as nice as possible and asked “hey girl do you mind helping us out? we’ve been waiting.” she gave us a dirty look and went to complain at the front. we were asked to go to a different bartender. what an absolute disappointment as a business. we were completely respectful. just asked to be helped since we had been waiting 30+ mins waiting to be helped while others were helped that just came up.
not only was a discriminated as a woman in the service, but also mistreated. safe to say sadly i will not be coming...
Read moreUpon walking into the facility with 2 other friends, I was asked to show my ID, per usual and expected. I had previously attended this bar multiple times, looking forward to a great atmosphere. After viewing my ID, the woman proceeded to ask if I had anything to drink. Then advised me to follow her to a back room along with multiple staff members. Although feeling very unsafe and uncomfortable, I proceeded to cooperate. I was then told I would be breathalyzed because I “showed signs of intoxication” and that that they were just “abiding by the law.” I had not been drinking, due to the fact that I had the intentions of going to the bar to drink. After following through with the breathalyzer, the gentleman who preformed the test didn’t inform me what the exact level I blew at, and said that I was “above the limit.” He then told me that I wouldn’t be allowed into A BAR, because I “blew above the limit.” I proceeded to ask what signs I was showing upon walking into the bar and to the front register that would indicate that I was heavily intoxicated, he then replied that I was “swaying.” The other two individuals that I had walked in with weren’t questioned or given a hard time. Staff informed me that I needed to leave the premises. I then called from the parking lot to speak to a manager, and could hear a woman’s voice say “It’s the girl” and the call ended. Ultimately, I don’t think it is logical to get breathalyzed AT A BAR. It was very suspicious with very little and vague explanations behind their actions. I wouldn’t advise or recommend people to go with the treatment and customer service that...
Read moreI had never been here before but came to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I was last of my friends to approach the counter where I was met by a blonde lady who had to have been high or drunk. She took my ID and then walked away with it and took it to the back. I was then asked to step into the back room. My boyfriend tried to follow me but they didn’t let him and closed the door. I was then met by a stout man in a cowboy hat who was telling me to show him my real ID because this one was fake. I tried to explain to him that my ID was indeed real, but he insisted that no New Mexico IDs have pictures with gray blue backgrounds. I tried to explain to him that I got the picture taken at an MVD express a few years back and then renewed my ID online on my birthday (I’m 21) and so they just put my old picture on my ID. His was response was “I’m from Albuquerque. I also got my ID at an MVD express and they are all turquoise. Look at all these fakes I have in this weird box I keep that all have the same background as yours.” Clearly, he was just trying to intimidate me, so I just left. When I left the back room, I tried to explain to my friends what was happening and the stout man in the cowboy hat was rude again and told me “respectfully I need you to leave” like I was some sort of criminal. If I wasn’t absolutely in shock I probably would’ve told him to call the cops so that they could show this man on a sick power trip that I was right and he was wrong. Suffices to say that he ruined my whole night and almost left me in tears. Would...
