Club Silverstone — Restaurant in Tacoma

This place has the WORST security staff. We walked in and one person in our group had a bag filled with clothes from work, specifically nurses scrubs. They asked him to empty his bags and as he opened his bags this power hungry security guard told him he needed to leave. He was clearly peeved that someone brought a bag in when there was a line of people behind us. This was after 5 of us in our group JUST paid for cover to get in and were waiting by the stairs for our friend who just got off his shift as a nurse was rejected for having an "attitude".

After the nurse was told to leave, we asked for our money back because one of our friends was not allowed in for no apparent reason. This abrasive security guard (whoever was working the Saturday night door shift at 12 AM) refused to give us our money back. I told him he needed to give us our money back for unjustifiably stopping our friend from coming in. After some negotiation, he finally agreed and gave the 5 of us our money back.

As someone from Seattle, who frequents gay bars that value inclusion, I will NEVER return to this classless establishment. The staff, clearly not gay friendly, should NOT be security at a "gay" bar. Maybe that's how the patronage is treated in Tacoma, but no one should accept how rude and aggressively biased this staff was treating people. Let's hope things...

This place is not a gay club. It’s gay in name only. 5 years ago, before Covid and before then, it was gay. Since then, it’s literally just straight dudes trying to creep on women while dancing around them in a circle (my personal experience tonight) maybe that’s what all straight bars are like... I blame the military guys at JBLM who came here since years ago and ruined it for us by slowly chipping the gay identity from this place only to score on our girlfriends. Tbh. I feel like maybe there are new owners who are straight who are milking the “gay” brand to get people in here. The only way to fix this is bring on the drag nights and gay music instead of the “Cupid shuffle” and the terrible music from the 90’s and early 2000’s. Literally it’s so bad that anyone with a taste in music will question who the eff signed off on the play list… it hasn’t changed in over 10 years is what it feels like to me..

Edit: the bartenders are cool. But if you want a gay experience. Go to the mix. It’s GAY. Not the stuff you get from silverstone where you look at the guys and hope one of them...

I loved the people and atmosphere. Definitely get better bartenders that reflect your clientele though. After trying to close my tab AND spelling out my last name for the bartender, he closed the wrong tab. I told him and he yelled at me for not telling him my first name. Seeing as I 1) spelled out my last name and 2) am transgender and don't go by my legal name on my card, it was upsetting to have a bartender repeatedly yell my legal first name out to the whole bar after I had given him all the information to close my tab that he needed. If he needed my legal first name, he could have asked before closing the tab. There was no reason for him to act in such a petulant and rude manner. I apologized and told him that I didn't go by my legal first name after he closed the wrong tab, and he still felt the need to scold me and yell my legal name multiple times. If y'all feel like you can have rainbows and pride things on display in the club but not hire bartenders that reflect that type of inclusion,...
