Skokie House — Restaurant in Niles Township

Thought of spending a few minutes with my friends playing pool over a few drinks at Skokie House but met this VERY rude bartender. Felt like we were racially profiled from the second we stepped in. The bartender who was a hispanic/latino lady literally started attacking us. Before we started saying anything she said ''I need 3 forms of ids from each of you before I can let you in, it's just the state law and i don't want to end up in jail! Go home and grab your passports if you don't have them here'' I was really shocked at why she would think that I have a passport yet I'm an U.S citizen.

I am going back though, I am curious enough to spend a little more time there and see how it is. Neighborhood old-time bar . Not sure if your drinks are good or bad because I just had a club soda. I will edit my post...

I don't know what kind of shop that requires 3 forms of id's to get in. That's the law enforcement's duty. State law requires to have a valid ID but the Hispanic or Latino lady in the bar refused us entry saying that we should have 3/4 forms of ids, which is so crazy! She was very rude to us maybe because of the color of our skin and don't deserve to...
