Stacy's at Melrose — Restaurant in Phoenix

Super sad about my last experiance here. This has been my faveorite bar since I moved to Phoenix two years ago. The one place as someone from the lgbt community that I could go have a fun night out and feel safe. But as of my last visit, I was not only peeked over the bathroom stall while my pants were down by what turned out to be a male manager concerned that we were doing drugs (while my parnter was helping me with an incredibly embaressing medical issue that would have otherwise been unabruptive to anyone elses club experiance. Not any kind of illegal act of any kind)- but then continuously harassed throughout the night following that. He claimed we had been causing problems all night when we had LITERALLY just walked in, stopped by the bathroom where my privacy was invaded, then went outside for a drink together. He threatened my partner, physically bowing up to her while she politely tried to explain that we just wanted to be left alone to have a nice night and a drink together outside. It all ended with him still billigerantly fussing at us and trying to physically put his hands on me when I asked to please not to be touched all while she and I waited outside for our uber home 15 minutes after our arrival. It was absolutly awful, and I will absolutely never go back. I know the owner is a really great guy, and has always been happy, friendly,kind, and welcoming. I hope they get better staff to be there when he isn't around. It's really gone downhill. I wish I had the name to report him to the owner, but honestly it was so overwhelming at the time and I has so much going on elsewhere in life I just didn't want to revisit the incident and have just wanted to forget it happened at all. I was so embarrassed and hurt that the one place I felt safe from being harassed by men was lost. I decided I should finally post what happened with my review and why I rated a place I used to love so much 1 star. Hoping things get better and no one has to go through what I did. It is otherwise a really...

I always have fun when I come here where everybody is always welcoming and friendly to myself and anybody with me for that matter. I don't go out much anymore but when I do, I always try to make a point and stop in here For at least one drink with friends. (usually a soda for me mostly these days) But have often found myself staying with a group later and later. I'm definitely dur for a visit because it's been a long time. Stacy is always super nice and always keeps everyone happy whether it's suggesting a new drink or just simply stopping by the table and saying hello to each and every person. Even went so far as to helping me out more than I would expect a bar owner or staff to do by reviewing cameras and eventually getting to the bottom of where and when I had left my bag one afternoon. When I had mistakenly left it laying around then left clueless to the fact, I was petrified. Since then I have reunited with my bag, (which had electronics and other valuables I would have missed) thanks to Stacy, his staff and the integrity of a couple guests in the bar. In my experience there's something good to be said about a bar and its guests when something as important to one person becomes even more urgent to others without second thought. Ive lost phones and other things at other bars where it's a serious inconvenience to even set the phone down to check lost & found. (If they even did lol) I believe that reflects on the over all picture of an operation and those who make it successful....

It is was difficult to give this place a star. At the door the bouncer or security guard treated me like garbage as he made fun of my clothing and shoes. I went to the bar inside the club by the dance floor and it took 30 minutes for the bartender to ask me for a drink as he ignore me he charged me $6 for a run and coke which is over price. The rum and coke was actually full of coke and there almost no rum. I went to the bar outside and I went to the bartender with a hat and beard and he completely ignore despite I call him to draw his attention and the bar was not full of people. He finally after 35 minutes took my order and again I was overcharge 6.50 for a rum and coke which again had almost no rum. As I was sitting near the outside bar, I overheard the bartender and another bar goer speak about me and stating that I am the most ugly man they had ever seen. Once I overheard them speak about me, I felt really hurt and I quickly left the club and order an Uber and I went home to cry because I was huminlated. I might not be the most attractive person in the world but I wish I could find a safe place where I can express myself and not be judge. This place is truly judgemental and if you don't meet their beauty standards then they will judge you and overcharge you for cocktails with almost no liquor. Last night was my...
