Tailgaters Pub & Grub — Restaurant in Sherwood

I recently had the unfortunate experience of visiting here, a place that has garnered a reputation for its discriminatory practices. Despite having all the proper identification, I, along with others, was denied service based solely on the color of my skin. This blatant racism is not only unacceptable but serves to foster an environment of exclusion and hostility. Upon entering, I was met with an atmosphere that could have been welcoming but quickly turned sour when the staff exhibited a clear bias. It was disheartening to witness such behavior in 2024, a time when inclusivity and diversity should be celebrated and embraced. It’s troubling to think about the message that places like this send to their community and how they perpetuate outdated, harmful stereotypes.I had hoped to enjoy a night out in a vibrant, welcoming space, but instead, I encountered an environment riddled with prejudice and discrimination. I STRONGLY urge potential customers to reconsider supporting a place that endorses such reprehensible values they not only failed to provide the experience I was seeking but also contributed to a culture of division. I encourage everyone to seek out establishments that genuinely welcome all individuals, regardless of their background. Let’s promote kindness and inclusivity over hate...

Beware of the women's bathroom. There is a mirror that allows people in the bar to see into the bathroom. My friend and I closed the door cause we were drunk and uncomfortable and the bartender Rebecca threw the door open and rudely told us it's open for a reason and not to close it. Could use a sign if that’s the case instead of giving us no real reason behind it and telling someone that if we close it again we were getting kicked out. We didn’t know that wasn’t allowed. When we left the bathroom a man told us it was open for safety so they could see inside the bathroom in case people do drugs or get raped. He also told us that there is a camera pointed to see inside the bathroom with the help of that mirror. If that's something that happens often enough, maybe y'all...

The bartender (Hanna?) was friendly and professional. The food menu is limited but you can't expect much from a dive bar. She brought out the food fresh and hot, so bonus points for that. They have 4 (maybe 3?) pool tables and those were taken up most of the night so come prepared to wait on that - the house sticks weren't bad at all. They have one darts board too. Plenty of TVs and they're willing to switch channels if you're tryinna catch a specific game/event. They only play country music but they have a digital music box if you want to request specific songs ($1/song). Overall good atmosphere and decent food, drinks were good too. 4 stars because they didn't amaze me and I'm not big into country. But great...
