Bullpen I.B. — Restaurant in Imperial Beach

Me and my wife are always checking out bars we have never been to and first impressions are a big thing for us. We entered this place and sat down at the bar and saw the bartender wiping out a glass with a rag. We sat there for about 2 whole minutes and the bartender didnt welcome us nor ask us what we wanted to drink. The place wasn't busy at all so my expectations for service was pretty high. Seeing as my business wasn't appreciated here, me and my wife left to go to the local VFW bar where our presence is always welcome with a warm smile. Bullpen definitely made my Blacklist. And yes i actually have a list of places i will not return to and also share my list with...

The customers there do not let u play R&B music. They play their Playlist over your music on their phones, so u never know who the haters are. It is not a equal opportunity bar.

Some of the locals will not allow u to enjoy playing pool to the selections of music u choose they override u and It's very frustrating that hate and prejudices are still very much alive.

Pool is free and the bartender makes decent drinks... it's full of Rednecks though so b aware if u visit, they do not allow ur music to play, they always override ur music and overwhelm with graphic, headbanging, goth type music...

if u r black u will NOT enjoy...

Went there a couple times and it has been nothing but Chaos and bad vibes. Cops came the times I went there and had problems with the people there for ID issues and for fights. The bartender was probably under stress since it’s memorial weekend but she was being a jerk to everyone even though we did nothing wrong. That caused bad vibes and I won’t be coming here after giving it chances after chances. Also manager find more bartenders because it’s not fair one had to do it all on a busy night. I got my drink after 20ish mins. Make it better by getting more people in the shifts. Also get SECURITY it...
