Parkside Lounge — Restaurant in New York

The white male manager with the accent was EXTREMELY Racist, hostile and condescending. After leaving a networking event, we walked into this establishment to get a couple shots as we waited for a friend to get an Uber since it was after 11pm. Everyone knows nyc hasn't been as safe. He asked for ids and we complied. He asked for the third id to which she responded, one second because she needed to pull her wallet from her bag. He immediately got disrespectful and assumed we weren't making a purchase because she was the one person getting an Uber. He started making yapping motions with his hand to mimic me as | tried to advocate for us and explain that he had the wrong idea and therefore there was no need to be disrespectful. He even slipped in a few insults and slurs. Told me that he doesn't need our money and to get out.We asked him if he has sisters or aunts he would want to see be able to get home safely as we did our friend.The response was that he didn't care!!!

This is what is wrong with the city now, no community or will to protect one another. As three young women, it shouldn't be an issue to stand somewhere for 3 minutes to make sure someone gets home safely. And if a purchase was required, then that should've been mentioned respectfully right away. This is exactly why I don't like going out in nyc anymore. All these establishments constantly make it hard for black people to feel...

The staff here is horrible. Every single staff member, including the manager (except the male bartender that started at 9PM on 2/13, he was extremely polite) were an absolute nightmare to either me or other patrons, including to the groups performing. They were either extremely rude or condescending, and when I missed part of the show I paid to see to inform the manager of my experience within my first 10 minutes of being there he immediately made excuses for his employee's behavior. He stated something very similar to the owner's responses to negative reviews I've read here by saying "you're the first person to ever complain about that employee," then excusing his behavior due to the issues they have getting patrons to buy a mandatory drink, which we were in the middle of ordering so it made zero sense. They also seem to flip flop between their credit card minimums depending on how much you're paying to upsell you, the first bartender told me the minimum was $20 and the second an hour later told me $10. The worst experience I've had in a long time, my first and last time coming here and I'd be surprised if they're still in business a...

I showed up with a group of 13 coworkers post softball game for a quick drink - mind you the bar was empty. I asked if we could have a table (we didn’t all need seats just a table for a few to sit down and place our things). There were two 6 tops free and the bouncer immediately said “no room inside you can sit outside”. We tried to explain again that we didn’t need seats for all of us and he was insistent on us being outside. We go outside and have to ask a table to move to accommodate us. Everytime we walked inside they ID’d us…

We then tried to order pitchers (they didn’t have) totally fine! We order 10 beers…my coworker said in a joking way “oh things aren’t going as planned” the manger goes “excuse me? You can leave” and proceeded to pour out six of the full bud lights as we tried to tell her that it was a light hearted joke. She then said “you’ve been rude since you got here you can leave!” Will never got back - I’m not quite sure where they get off thinking they can not only turn down paying customers for no reason but also waste product...
