Whiskey 101 — Restaurant in Fayetteville

I would say that this is the best club i’ve been to, but with the management they have i would have to disagree. I have been going there for three years since i was 19, almost every weekend and have brought so much business there. if i walk in there i instantly get greeted by atleast 6 people because everyone there loves me. i’m the type of person that try’s to make sure that there is no drama. do i love the bouncers there? yes, absolutely!! But as for the manager Dustin Hatfield he is on a power trip there. he went as far as putting his hand on me when i was dancing to the song pony on the ground, like i do every weekend. and picked me up by my hips and threw me on the other side of the floor. without telling me i did anything wrong and just walked off. everyone around that was watching was so shocked that anything like that happened. even the bouncers were shocked that he did that to me and was wondering why. then when confronted by my brother he proceeded to tell me that he was sorry he didn’t know it was me and shook my hand. and then we proceeded to have an argument about putting your hands on a girl and how it wasn’t right and it turned into something bigger than it should’ve been. long story short this was the first time that i had ever had an encounter and he band me for life. when i know dang well that there is people in there that have gotten in terrible fights and got to come back the next night, or even the next weekend. I also tried to call a month later and tell him that i was sorry that everything got blown out and asked him if i could come back because it was my 21 birthday. and he said “no we don’t associate with people that threaten our jobs”. he is talking about one of my friends saying something about an attorney because he was drunk and mad that dustin had put his hands on me for no reason at all. but then when asked in person he said it was because i wouldn’t “shut my little mouth” coming from a “man” that tried to step up to me and i had to tell him that i wasn’t scared of him so his stomach would get off of mine. I have contacted multiple bouncers and they would love to see me back at whiskey101 and they tell me to just keep asking. then i go and read the reviews about whiskey101 and how many people have complaints about the manager so i think something needs to be done about it. If anyone knows how to get ahold of the actual owners so we can all figure something out about this manager situation. It has now been 7 months and i have tried to call multiple times and even went down to try to talk to him about coming back and he tried to say that i had the whole story wrong and didn’t know what i was talking about. so if anyone knows how to get ahold of the owners of the establishment that would be awesome because i know i’m one of MANY that would love to...

I am a 24 year old LEGAL Marijuana smoker and so is my partner. although he didn't smoke prior to our night out I did about an hour and a half prior. This was Saturday night. right off the bat when we walked in they asked my partner if he just smoked to which i interrupted and said no and I explained I smoke in my car so it lingers pretty good (said the same thing last time I was there and got let in before they kicked out my cousin for wearing basketball shorts.) They accepted my answer and let us pay to get in then less than a minute later we see the bouncers following us and one by one walking past us one of them even running into me they are getting so close to us. At some point someone places a hand on my partners shoulder and ask him if he smoked AGAIN to which he said no. At this point they are all kinda circling in and I again go to explain what I did up front and the guy seemed to get upset I was even speaking to him cause he started to get rude with it and telling us how we should have sprayed at least etc. Which we did. 😂 pretty bold of them for a bunch of people who aren't bulletproof in an establishment that doesn't pat people down. My thing is they could have just told us to spray or just said no to start with instead of letting us pay then following us and harassing us so we would leave. We both suffer from ptsd and that's why we even smoke to begin with. That behavior from them was absolutely unacceptable. You don't just Circle people like they are criminals for smelling like weed (or for anything for that matter unless someone is already being violent) that's how people get hurt especially when your dealing with people who suffer from ptsd. Fight or flight is a real thing and you guys don't need this job if you can't do it responsibly. It's not illegal to smell like weed and yall are NOT cops 😂 in fact the cops don't even search my car anymore when I show them my card so yall would fail at policing and that's probably why yall are bouncers instead. No wonder everyone on Google hates this establishment 😂 check your employees or risk having someone else come in and do it for you. With that 2 star rating your already well...

Walked in tonight COMPLETELY sober, just to be extremely rudely greeted by “how much have you had to drink tonight?” I was in a group of 4, all of us 18-20. I’m 19, and cannot drink whatsoever because of medication I take for seizures. The bouncer was incredibly rude and humiliated me in front of all of my friends and everyone else waiting to go in. I explained that I hadn’t been drinking, and asked why he thought that and he responded with “the way you look”. Like what? Keep in mind i was literally wearing a dress and a sweater with platformed tennis shoes. Nothing raunchy, nothing out of the ordinary. I explained to them my medication issue and that I couldn’t even drink if I wanted to but they took my ID anyways and made me name off every single thing on it. Your heavy set bouncer with the beard needs to find a new profession because he is incredibly rude and is very good at making people feel awful for no reason. According to the reviews I’m not the only one who feels this way too. I had another worker literally APOLOGIZE to me for the way I had been treated for absolutely no reason. I walked in completely normal like literally every other sober person in that place. Maybe your bouncers need to stop profiling innocent people. Me and all of my friends already agreed we will never ve back. There were MANY underaged minors in there beyond drunk. So maybe work on fixing the actual issue instead of just being a di*k at the bouncer...
