The Swamp on Bourbon Street — Restaurant in New Orleans

I was just there for a birthday party Sunday, September 30. We were a group of 15. I ALWAYS go to The Swamp when in town. However, the courtyard restrooms were completely out of order. One was covered in vomit. I opened the chain rope to use the restroom upstairs which I had already been doing prior to the chain being connected. As I was using the restroom, someone opened the door and I could hear a walkie talkie. They closed the door but remained outside. Once I opened the door, I was accosted by a terrible woman yelling at me. She kept saying, YOU NEED TO LEAVE NOW! I explained why I was up there and she continued to yell at me. She also kept telling the bouncer to get me out. My concern was he was going to grab me and force me out the way she was yelling. Thankfully the bouncer was a kind young black man and helped me get away from this crazy white woman. He never once put his hands on me. I politely asked to grab my husband and friends so we could move on. He kindly obliged. I will NEVER return to this place. Now as for the bouncer, thank you kindly again for being so kind. I could see the discomfort on your face. DON'T let her force you into doing something you know is wrong....

I WISH I COULD'VE CONTACTED THE MANAGER OR THE COPS. I was attacked by THE Bartender. He hopped over the bar and physically proceeded to fight and attack me. All me and friend were trying to do was get our drinks back that we ordered. And they threw it away IN FRONT OF OUR FACES. So then we asked for our Water bottles back that they threw away (Dasani) and he put it on a counter and we said yes thats our Bottles. And he literally SLAPPED it back in the garbage. Then he poured us an inch maybe half and inch of water and me and my co worker were like WTH and he smiled and SLAPPED THAT IN THE GARBAGE...... AS IF WE WERE STREET BEGGERS (Or Homeless) ..... And we had enough money to buy whole bottles. So I fussed at him. And he proceeded to jump over the counter (bar counter where he works) and physically fight us .... He's white chubby and shaggy hair. PLEASE...

I'd been to the Swamp on three different occasions but the last was the worst. My girlfriend was discriminated against for being a queer, gender fluid woman. This past Friday, my family and I visited the Swamp to meet up before wedding rehearsals. We'd been there for over an hour, leaving and returning. The last time my girlfriend left and tried to return a different man at the door wouldn't let her in. That's fine, even if she had already been inside FOUR times, because establishments reserve that right. But, after my girlfriend asked another gentleman to pass word to me about not being let in, she was assaulted by the gentleman working the door. This is unacceptable. My girlfriend was so distraught, I didn't get a chance to speak to a manager nor call a cop. I will NEVER return to this establishment and I encourage other black gays...
