Black Rabbit Saloon — Restaurant in San Marcos

I tried coming in here after hanging out with the manager of THC Vape and Smoke next door. Admittedly I had some CBD prior, but the door guy told me I looked intoxicated and wouldn't let me in, even just to sit down and drink some soda before heading home.

When I thought I had lost my photo ID, I came back and waved through the door with my wallet, when I opened the door and was about to ask if they had my ID, I got cursed out and was told to close the door. There were still patrons at the bar.

The rest of the night I was an anxious mess. Even though I moved in November and still have my California ID, I've never been rejected from any Texas bars or told I was intoxicated prior.

To double check my sanity, I went over to The Vault to ask if this was normal bouncer behavior, they said it wasn't.

Good news is I took an Uber home to be safe, found my ID tucked away in a random slot on my wallet, and picked up my car the next morning. Walking past the bar, I felt very uncomfortable. Needless to say I won't be back, as I'm not welcomed there.

This wasn't my first time here either, I've been inside to play Skeeball and Pong during the late afternoon / early evening. They also once asked me to check in my bag, to which I decided not to go inside because it had expensive computer equipment I didn't want to leave out of sight.

TLDR: You likely won't feel welcomed here. I try to avoid using the word gaslit, but I felt that way with the doorman. I'm a sensitive guy who would never cause a...

I really want to leave more stars...

I have been here before and enjoyed myself. I actually set out to specifically spend my time here last night.

However, last night when I approached the door man with my ID ready in hand.

The man working the door tried to remove it from my hand. He said, "let go" I asked "do I have to"? "Tsk, you can just go somewhere else for the night".

I did not argue, I went on my way. I had a drink at a number of other places, ID never leaving my hand, 6 other bars on the square were good times.

I was sitting in Sean Patrick's, they were closing early at midnight so I asked the bar where I should go next. I was told to go to Black Rabbit Saloon.

So I went back to Black Rabbit. I was respectful I was not defensive, before I could try to talk to him I was told "you are not going in there".

I felt attacked. He mentioned we were the same age. So he saw everything he needed when I presented my ID the first time. He went further to call me Entitled, and insinuated that I was not Intelligent.

I may try to go here again, but I don't spend my money in places that call me names and belittle me.

Just sharing to hopefully avoid future weirdness. It still bothers me this morning how condescending and rude he was to me. I was calm, polite and respectful even in though he was not.

Every other door experience I had last night was smooth and not dramatic. I am Very...

The vibe is disgusting, and everyone is always judging you. Don’t waste your time here. Absolutely abhorrent behavior from the doorman/bouncer, Jyammari, who can’t even use his words. He began banging on doors and walls when turning us away for absolutely NO reason. Why would you want to go to a place that hires emotionally unstable men who are supposed to be the ones “protecting” the patrons? It left us extremely uneasy and it’s really scary and humiliating to be made a scene out of in front of a bunch of drunks. I felt crazy, but after looking at all of these reviews, it seems like these are the kind of people they want representing them. NEVER set foot in this place if you’re looking for a fun, safe space.

update: After trying to get this resolved, we were gaslit, and the manager is allowing this man to continue to be a doorman. They watched the tape, laughed at us, and we were told it wasn’t him. The doorman in question, Jyammari, then texted one of the girls in the group boasting about how he didn’t get in trouble because he got his manager to believe he wasn’t doing anything wrong. We were also banned for having a valid complaint that EVERYONE in the reviews have made. Again, this is NOT a safe place, and they hire/protect dangerous people. Go to a...
