Pieces — Restaurant in New York

Honestly. I’m so disappointed with my trip to pieces last night, and I’ll probably never be returning. The “girls” (marked gender neutral) restroom, as the security man called it, was a standstill line for more than 20 min because people were CLEARLY doing drugs in there, so my friends; a 30 year old Trans person and a 50 year old newly widowed woman (also a bartender at one of our fine west village queer establishments) decided to use the urinal room. I know what you’re thinking,,, no big deal, par for the course. Well apparently not at pieces bar as the security detail decided it was absolutely necessary and appropriate to barge down the door on my friends because they were “girls not using the restroom for girls”. First of all, why would a male employee walk into a restroom seemingly with girls in it, that’s not good practice, that’s NOT indicative of a safe space, that’s frankly,,, disgusting. Second of all, my one friend is clearly not a girl, the security detail really needs to be educated on the topic of pronouns. Third of all. The berating was absolutely unnecessary as they came out and apologized immediately. I’ve genuinely never seen a more poorly handled situation and I’m LITERALLY a bouncer at one of the busiest gay bars in...

Must have been here over a dozen times through the last several years, both during and post-college. Generally a great, friendly vibe, until my experience this Tuesday with a close friend. Having spent 2+ hours at the bar enjoying our time and drinks, and undeniably being the quietest people during our stay there, it confused the *k out of us when the bartender offered us a last round for free before literally berating and screaming at us, saying that he never wanted to see us inside his bar again. Uncalled for! My friend and I have BOTH have experience bartending in NYC - we knew that this sort of customer treatment was unacceptable, and the bartender's lack of even attempting to justify this treatment spoke for itself. Out of respect we kept our mouths shut until the new bartender came a while later, and both decided to tip HIM what the bartender WOULD have received had he not basically treated us like animals. I think it's safe to say that this bar has lost these two...

First thing, bartender… I Was at the bar and he was cleaning up all the time. Actually took my drink away a twice, when I was done… I told him the first time nicely ohhh you took my drink away… I was not done with that, and he made another drink, second time, I told him you took again my drink, he wasn’t. I mean your the only bartender around. Who else would do it ? And he said “I don’t care”…. Of course that guy doesn’t care… because I’m the one who paying for drinks unfinished. Yesterday also a problem with the promoter My table was the first one at entrance to the show area. He was blocking. So when I tried to get in by there, he said go the other way, I told him you’re jocking this is my table, and in a rude way he said “I’m not jocking, I’m the promotor and you have to go the other way” I saw that guy doing the same thing to other people who were there…

So what they think? They can talk as they want to customers?

Guys don’t spend...
