Whiskey Garden — Restaurant in Fort Worth

Terrible experience! I went to Whiskey Garden to meet my Girlfriend after I got out of work, just to not be allowed in. The short white guy at the entrance was a total "DOUCHE BAG" at the least, when I got the entrance I presented my I.D, To him and he asks me, "are you on the list?" and I respond to him, "what list?" Since he wasn't able to come up with an answer he then says, "well unaccompanied guys are not allowed in after 10 p.m.." I then explain to the guy at the door that my Girlfriend was inside with a few other of our friends. The guy at the door then replies to me, "well I'm mot here to discuss your situation and you can't come in!" I then call my Girlfriend and explain to her my situation and she was very upset, she asked me to go to the door again so she could tell the guy at the door that I was there to meet them. I told her no to worry about it, just have everyone close their tabs and we will take our business elsewhere. I then took my group next door to Trophy Ranch. Just a little insight into my background, I am a Sous Chef at a prominent restaurant in downtown Fort Worth. My schedules vary from my significant others schedule, so we try to meet each other when ever we can with friends and or Family in and round the down town area. This night out was totally ruined by one unprofessional employee. I have shared my story with coworkers and friends and they were astonished as to the situation I encountered and a few replied, "I guess if I'm meeting my significant other it WON'T be at Whiskey Garden!" This was my first and last time to visit this establishment. Word to the wise, " You don't get a second chance to make a first...

racists!!!...... so i recently moved from nyc to fort worth and on my 1st night out with some new hispanic friends i met out here we went out to party near west 7th.... we hit up a couple bars because they wanted me to see most of the area, had a few drinks here and there,it was great.......right up until we passed in front of this place.... i told then i wanted to go here because i honestly thought the pool was preety cool but they insisted and said that this place was racists against hispanic people so we didnt go.... the next weekend i went out with another hispanic friend and i purposely tried to go with him this time to see for myself if what my other friends told me was true....sure enough the bouncer didnt let him in because he had on a "baby blue" button down shirt..... wich in my opinion its a ridiculous excuse not to let us in, we then left down the block and went into a few more bars with no problem.... a few weeks later after that me and the same hispanic we out...this time he didnt have a "baby blue" button down he just had on a regular white floral button down... this time their excuse was we couldnt get in because of there was too many guys.......we waited in front of the place to see if he would let more guys in and sure enough we saw the same bouncer let in 3 more caucasian men in with no problem..OH! and one of then had on a "baby blue" tshirt aswell..... this place is clearly racists and im not saying because ive heard it from different hispanic people its because i saw it for myself...i will never give this place business and i hope who ever reads this...

This place is trash. The first time I went I had to bribe the "bouncer" (who obviously has little man complex, he's only about 5'4", always wears a flat brim hat and puffy jacket to try and appear larger, it doesn't work) to let my friends in. I get that it's embarrassing being an adult man who needs help getting things of the top shelf but cmon don't take it out on everybody else. Last night I was denied for wearing a white tee, even though several people inside were wearing the same thing except with hollister hoodies over them? Lol I guess if I was colder and had a need for a hoodie everything would have been fine, I could've covered up my shirt from Neiman Marcus with a classy Hollister hoodie, went in and took it off after... But something tells me it wasn't the shirt, I wore close to the same outfit as last time, it could have something to do with the absolute grease ball of a human at the door; fat, sloppy looking guy, wet hair, no chin with a goatee (no chin with a goatee?! It defies the laws of nature!), pretty much if a greasy jack in the box bag had a human embodiment it would be this guy. It seems like the door guys pick and choose who goes in based on whether or not they think you're better than them, so don't dress trendy, don't give off an aura of success, and try not to look too good altogether. Wear a collared shirt from Walmart and some wranglers and they'll let you in. If that doesn't work, you may have to disfigure yourself, it'll totally be worth it to go to such a classy...
