Normally LOVE Saturn Bar. But recently had an experience where I needed to get cash for myself and 2 other patrons to attend a party. (It was a cash only event and the atm is inside the venue). The door attendant affirmed our decision and was ready to take my id and allow me to grab cash for myself, my friends, and get in line. The acting bouncer, however was extremely rude, unbecoming, and belligerent. After the bouncer finished arguing with the door attendant who was ready to let us in and didn’t understand what the issue was (on the bouncer’s end) she spoke to me in a manner that was extremely disrespectful to me and my friends, uttering that we’re not special and that we didn’t have a right to enter the establishment before anyone else. This bouncer has historically been rude but never to this extent. I also have friends who’ve indicated nonconsensual physical contact from the aforementioned party. As a queer black man, I’m not easily disrespected, but this public display of disregard was too much for me and my friends to stay. Might not be much, but 3 covers were...
Read moreHonestly, I don’t normally do this, but the post by Kirkland Green could be nothing but the utmost ridiculous and privileged. I have never felt saver than with the bouncer at the door. I was in line when this happened. Everyone was doing the most and trying to get in. He simply asked everyone to get in a line on the side of the bar. I agree, you are not special and needed to get in line with everyone else!
You are messing with someone’s livelihood that is a staple and constant to everyone’s experience here at Saturn. Again, I can honestly say that this post is ridiculous. Again, I don’t normally do this, but I felt a need to stand up for the trans black man as a gay cis black man...
Read moreGone here numerous times in the last ten years. Just a dive bar. Nothing special. Eclectic mix of smelly patrons and progressive crowd. The bartender was a little sensitive. The music was really loud when I tried to order my first beer and he didn’t hear, so I screamed my order and he was like, “don’t scream at me dude! You know what, I’m cutting you off.” lol I’ve been in service industry half my life and the bar wasn’t even busy. It really didn’t affect me that he “cut me off” because the 10 people I was there with just bought my beers. It was just a funny situation. I hope the bartender gets his act together so he doesn’t have a nervous breakdown...
