Classics Sports Bar — Restaurant in Renton

You can expect with certainty that the bars regular customer group will be in attendance on any given day at any given time. The members of the group consist of the bar tenders personal friends. This is a closed group with no new members accepted. The members of the "Regular Group" are quick to take notice of outsiders. Customers identified as outsiders can anticipate a public display by the "Regular's Group " members each in turn as an assessment and evaluation is conducted on you .

The assessments progress a public display for all to observe. Your social acceptance and approval to be served by the bar tender is dependant on your assessment report.

You will be scored based on what the group finds acceptable or not acceptable about you. For instance, a black male accompanied by a white female has been identified as " Outsiders".

The group members collectively evaluate and assess applying sterotype judgement and racial mind sets. Thus arriving to the conclusion that the couple's companionship is morally wrong in the eyes of the black community as they see it.

Not to mention the white females obvious preference of black males poses a threat to the black females of the "Regular Group".

The black women in the "Regular's Group" will now publically display their disapproval of the mixed couples presence in the bar.

Shouting out why this white woman can't stay within her her own race rather than taking available black men from theirs.

The "Regular's Group" members show their support by laughing and adding their own under the breath devaluing slander.

The attending Bar Tender witness to the bars activity turns a cheek and declines to take the couple's order.

The couple is expecting friends to join them any moment and sit at their table without service. The couple's friends arrive and join them. Without notice the couple quickly realises that their friends have been approved for service because the Bar Tender as arrived to the table requesting their friends orders. All while looking past the couple by not including them the priveledge to order.

The couple now demanding that the Bar Tender serve them. The Bar Tender replies with "No" as he turns face and walks away.

The couple's friends go up to the Bar and order additional drinks that are purchased for the couple.

As the couple finishes their drink, realizing the Bar Tender has no intention of serving them again, makes the decision to leave.

As the couple says goodbye to their friends, the Bar atender approaches and asks the couple to pay their tab. The couple protest once again because the drinks were already paid for. The Bar Tender states the amount owed for drinks.

The "Regular Group" members have invited themselves to the conversation and threaten the couple if the tab is not paid.

The couple and their friends leave the Bar and the Group members follow them to the parking lot. Still shouting threats at the couple. The couple drive away.

The next day the couplle calls the Bar and asks to speak to the owner. A message and contact number are given. Later that same day a call from the Bar is received. The man identifies himself as Slim the Bar Manager. Slim demabds the couple's credit card info to pay the tab. The couple demands the owners name. Their demand is denied.

Later that same day a call is received. It's the Bar Tender Jamar who is threatening the couple if they refuse to give him their credit card number . The couple declines his demands.

The couple later that same day received a call from their friend. The friend reports that Jamar and Slim have contacted the couple's friends reporting the couple's denial to pay their tab and in the he back ground the friend could hear the "Regular Group" members making degrogatory comments about the couple.

The alledged Manager Slim come to find out was not the manager, rather Jamars friend and coworker. The owner was never contacted her the couple's request. The slander of character by the employees will not be something over looked Stay clear of...

The first two visits were 5 stars but here is my last visit. I fly six hours from Boston to Seattle to help out with 2 small grandkids and help out around the house for a week . In December at the the Classic Sports Bar karaoke night I had such a blast with my son and daughter-in-law, 3 people asked when we were coming back... "as soon as I can". I packed my dancing shoes highly anticipating Sunday/ Wednesday karaoke. At dinner I had a drink with a fantastic beef empanadas at Paparepas, then one drink putting 3 yr old Izzy to bed. When I hit the bar at 9:30pm I was ecstatic that the bartender got my son and me drinks (which were excellent and not expensive) without missing a word of the song she was singing (which she slayed). Her cousin(wicked hard working /awesome personality) was the bartender at our previous karaoke. Very few people there this night but the singers were good. I was the only one standing / dancing then the guy running the karaoke, sang a song and came over to ask me not to dance so close to him (he was probably 10 feet away). I ordered another drink, talking briefly with the bartender who was working wicked hard coming out to serve people. I put in a song, did a little more dancing, then decided to get another drink before I was called up. The bartender asked me if wanted food. I said "no thanks " then she replied "you need to be more mindful of your body awareness ". I was pretty perplexed by this, asked her what she meant, and she kinda mimicked how I danced, telling me I throw my arms around a lot and I need to "stop touching people ". I asked her who I touched and she said "for one you touched me"! I don't remember touching anyone but 2 dudes I fist bumped after their songs. It is possible i touched her arm when she came over and talked to me as she seemed really nice before this conversation. I then asked for my bill to settle up. A dude at the bar put his hand out to shake mine but I hesitated as that would be touching him. He queried " you are not going to shake my hand", so then I felt like an idiot and we shook hands. Interestingly as I was leaving the bartender told me she wanted to see me back at the next karaoke. I think I will volunteer to babysit so my son and daughter in law can go if they want. Think my Renton karaoke days are...

I used to frequent this place a lot, but lately it’s been like I’m constantly being attacked. The food used to be impeccable & the drinks were always poured heavily for a good price. The music was fun and the crowd was always wanting to have a good time.

Nowadays, it’s like I have to be the bigger person & just walk away. Today was the first time I’ve been in months and definitely the last time I’ll be back. I went with my bestfriend for the food and was being addressed snarky by the head bartender, Slim. Then what the final straw was is being told what I said when I know what I didn’t say. Before this, I was accused of being disrespectful to a bartender. Then when I ask another bartender how she’s doing, Slim cuts her off & answers for her with her OWN answer. It doesn’t phase me that you know my name, nor that we have the same birthday, but the lack of respect for people who come just wanting to eat and enjoy the vibe is outrageous. Praying that they are able to fix their lack of...
