Jeremy's — Restaurant in New York

Dear Jeremy, I had the most disappointing time at your venue on Friday night. I arrived and the new sandy-haired female bartender halfheartedly asked how I was doing. When I recounted some highlights of my day aloud, she first showed obvious sign of disinterest through her affect and body language, but as I spoke, she further became green with envy when my privileged lifestyle just made it way into the conversation based on what I did during that day - trying out an 1877 vintage Steinway, and waiting for a delivery of my package at Louis Vuitton, etc. I then caught the eye of C**, ordering my favorite BLT sandwich with him only to hear that it, along with the mainstay pigs in a blanket are no longer available, and will soon be replaced with seafood dishes. I used to come to your namesake restaurant for the amazing offerings from your family’s butcher’s shop so artfully folded into a decidedly and deliberately limited food menu, and Christopher’s wonderful mixology. You are driving away your primary demographic: 35-55 year olds who are well - established both in their careers and lifestyles, and we were excited to support Schaller & Weber, and your family, in an originally tasteful cocktail lounge that exuded an opulent place for us to share great ideas. You are...

Last night approached Jeremy’s, which was open - the door was unlocked, music was playing, and the bar was fully stocked. No sign whatsoever of them closing. However, within seconds of stepping inside, we were accosted by a bouncer who physically put his hand on my shoulder, forcefully pushing me while repeating "out, out, out" and pointing at the door.

This behavior is not only rude and disrespectful but potentially illegal. There was absolutely no need for physical contact. A simple "We're closing soon, sorry about that" would have sufficed - if indeed that was the case. We still don’t understand why we were shoved outside with no explanation other than “out”.

The contrast between the completely white clientele allowed inside and the treatment we received from that bouncer raises questions about racial profiling. While I hesitate to throw around accusations of racism, it's hard to ignore such blatant discrimination.

Avoid if you want to avoid being shoved around by a silly bouncer. There are plenty of other establishments in the area that know how to treat their customers...

A few major issues that make it hard to enjoy your time at Jeremy's. #1: the music is so loud that you can't hear the person/people you're with. They can't lower it a little bit so it's still pumping but you can actually enjoy catching up with friends or going on a date? #2: the chairs are BEYOND uncomfortable. They're stools that are the wrong height for the bar. Left with cramps all down my back. #3: they have a bouncer outside lol...like it's 1999 and we're in Sex And The City. #4: I'm pretty sure they're out of compliance with ADA, which i'm sure is illegal. If you walk with a cane, need a chair with a back, etc...forget about it. I asked to sit at a chair/table and they said that it was reserved for parties of 4 or more. So if a person (me) with a disability comes in and needs space, they have to leave? I'm pretty sure it's illegal. But anyway, couldn't hear a thing my friend was saying, so it didn't really matter! Bad experience. Much better bars out there that aren't trying so hard and are inclusive to all people, not just the...
