If I could give a half star or even no stars to leave this review I would, however I can't, but I digress.
Myself, my wife and our friends have been to this establishment a handful of times, which in most cases, have been turned away for some particular dress code that they only have a tendency to enforce as we come through the door.
Often, this "dress code" is enforced by a stocky bouncer, Caucasian male, an average to chunky build, around 5'8 or 5'9 in height, I believe brown hair, as he often where's a baseball cap, and a stable.
The first time we were turned away, we were refused entry, do to my friend having on a sweat suit, and were told that the dress code prohibits this, however directly behind the bouncer are at least 3 different people, male, wearing sweat suits, Adidas, Nike, and a Jordan sweat suit, I literally pointed this out, just for him to be stumped in his response, yet stated, "I don't know whi let them in" yet did absolutely nothing to kick them out.
The second time, same guy, refused entry to us do to something my wife and my friends girlfriend was wearing, yet alot of women were wearing similar things wasn't turned away.
This third and final time, once again, same guy, refused our entry based on, myself wearing ripped jeans, yet stated for women it was ok, but for men it is prohibited, said that I could not be allowed in with holes in my jeans, but here's the kicker, underneath the rips in my jeans, is a different material/fabric, you can not in any way form or fashion see my skin, but at this point I'm fed up and I leave out.
My wife stays to look around to see if there had been any other men granted access with ripped jeans, and sure enough they had been, I'm not one for a race angle, nor one to pull the "race card," as a navy veteran I've been around all ethnicities and nationalities, and we saw each other as brothers and sisters, but this establishment, I feel that I can without a shadow of a doubt, is in a way racist towards black people (also, the majority of their patrons are Caucasian) for the majority times we've tried to enter there, it was always something new and different to deny access, apart from that, we don't really see ourselves going back in the...
Read moreWe all came in last night after the show at the Art theatre with some of the musicians and it is my family! The drummer of The Steepwater Band- which is my cousin- was treated like complete garbage by one of the bouncers. He wears a family tree chain that has been on him to over 20 countries touring (and he has worn for many years and never had to take it off) and last night he made to take it off. Not cool at all. While you allow women to wear necklaces and chains and only metal detect men and not women also. Very discriminating. Very ghetto. Very unprofessional. We should have left right after we walked in. You should also paint the stalls in the women’s bathroom- it’s definitely disgusting what is painted on the stall walls.
And to grasp who The STEEPWATER band is definitely look them up! They are not just a small local band and you should be ashamed of some of your staff!
BIG MISTAKE! They’re from Indiana too! Again,...
Read moreSat at a table, waited 15- 20 minutes. There were 2 waitresses serving other tables with people that came in after us, so we went to the bar to get our drinks and put our food order in. Waited 40 more minutes and nothing. No food, no waitress seeing if we needed anything, nothing. So we told them to forget the food, which apparently he did cause he NEVER even put our order in, and we went somewhere else. Yes, we paid for our drinks, and no, they weren't busy. I can't rate the food cause we never got it. ALL of the bartenders and waitstaff were rude, racist(which was uncomfortably displayed as we were leaving), and should not be working in customer service. They acted annoyed because we wanted to place an order. This place is HORRIBLE and don't recommend for anything. Not worth my...
