Cash Only — Restaurant in San Jose

Had a bad first time experience at this bar. The only good thing was the bartender who had helped us in the beginning, he was a sweetie and was very knowledgeable about what yall carry. A friend and I wanted to play pool and had been waiting for our turn for a minute. Apparently, the rules at this place are the winner plays the next person which was never stated or we were told. We had asked the winner (who was super intoxicated and had kept harassing us before this) for us just to play by ourselves. He started to get aggressive with us and grabbing the pool balls from us. At that point I was fed up and felt uncomfortable, we had been ignoring him which made him even worse. I had told the guy, Bobby, who works here about him. I thought he came over to settle this but instead belittled my friend and I. It was a shame other customers had to come to our defense instead. I had never experienced such toxic behavior at a place that had pool tables, even from the most dingiest bars ever and actual people who play league games. If that was a rule then it should be posted. Bobby had witnessed this extremely intoxicated man grab me, get up in my personal space to grab the balls out of my hands and be super rude to me. Instead he told my friend and I "I can give you the two dollars back or you can get out". After we had gave up he had lingered right next to us which felt really intimidating. This should have been a thing for security to oversee. Even though there was "rules" in place, an intoxicated man intimidating a young women and getting physical with her should be grounds to kick him out even with these made up "rules". Heres the barback as well. Beware of him as obviously he is not a safe space for women and who would probably say nothing to you if a man drugs your drink. If you're going to be a Johnny Cash bar then actually uphold the values this man had otherwise youre just...

This is the best value bar in downtown. It's like a classy dive bar. Or a budget semi-classy place. Beautifully crafted all wood bar, narrow compact space, pool table room in the back, best whiskey selection I know of and always a list of at least a half dozen $5 whiskeys. I always ask the bartender to choose for me and I've never had a $5 whiskey I didn't like... Because: FIVE DOLLARS. Oranges and apples pressed for juice to order. Johnny Cash on the walls and the jukebox, no plastic music, drinks, or payments. The crowd is everyone: young, medium aged, friends, dates, wandering parties. None of the lush fixture drunks planted in the corner all night like you find at the really divey bars... This is like a "hip" dive bar without the "hip" prices. Owners name is "Cash" (but different spelling), so the Cash Only branding has a triple meaning. I always say that the best, most comfortable and welcoming bars are owned/operated by genuinely good people and you can tell by the "vibe" (Save for the occasional overzealous doorman whose term.is usually short lived), and Cash Only exemplifies my theory. A good owner's cool vibe carries over to the employees, which passes on to the patrons. Here...

I was having a great time drinking and conversating with my friend in the pool room, and the owner came up to me and asked me if I was vaping. I said it wasn't me if the owner was watching she would've seen it was the couple playing pool the male was vaping. It made me uncomfortable due to the fact she was staring at me and accused me of vaping. Due to this I left, I left their bar early without finishing my drink. The bouncer was cool though and so was our bartender. But due to the owner my first time at her bar was uncomfortable and made me feel unwelcomed. It felt like since the couple was white she didn't question them but since I am of a darker skin tone she...
