“Appalling Racial Discrimination”

I had an appalling experience at this bar that I feel compelled to share. While I was simply standing, enjoying my time, I became the target of racial discrimination. I was singled out and forcibly ejected from the establishment solely because of my Indian heritage. It was clear that the security personnel were biased and favored a white patron over me.

This type of flagrant racism is not only disgraceful but also illegal. It's deeply disheartening to encounter such behavior in this day and age.

They don't serve the tables like they should, they just go up to their friends standing around outside and help them instead of their actual customers at tables. Waited 45 minutes for a drink even after standing at the bar in 2 different spots, and then got a hard time by the bartender because "I was already sitting at a table that had an assigned server" which we never saw. Don't waste your time if you are over the age of 22, which is crazy because us vets are the ones who will tip you well. Oh well, just go to Breweha's across the street!
