Bourbon Street Sports Bar — Restaurant in Texas

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding the discriminatory treatment I received at your establishment. On a recent visit, I came in sober and requested a Lone Star beer, expecting the same level of service afforded to all patrons. However, what followed was an experience that left me feeling targeted and unfairly treated based on a combination of assumptions and bias, particularly because I am African American.

Despite having consumed not a single drink throughout the day, the bartender unjustly assumed I was intoxicated and involved the bouncer to remove me from the premises. This action seemed less about genuine concern for any behavior on my part and more about an arbitrary judgment. When there was no issue with my identification or behavior, your staff appeared to actively seek out another reason to deny me service. This selective scrutiny and biased treatment were glaringly apparent.

It is deeply troubling that such discrimination occurred, especially when all I sought was to enjoy my time like any other patron. I believe no one should face unjust treatment, particularly based on preconceived notions tied to their race. I hope this matter will be addressed promptly, and I would appreciate a thoughtful response that shows an understanding of the seriousness of this situation.

Thank you for your attention to this...

Bartenders were super super nice. But we left because they have a dress code that activates after 8pm, where my bf got told he couldn’t wear a tank top because it was viewed as trashy looking and I quote the security guard “ looks like you spent $15 at Walmart instead of nice good clothing“ He gets very hot in crowded places and only had a jacket with him to cover up. To the owner, you are in a very shady looking and worn down area, you can not expect your CUSTOMERS to follow some sexist dress code for only men because you want the look of the bar to be better. It is Texas, weather is hot and humid, people deserve to wear clothes they will be cool in. Be more aware of the people coming into your bar. Unfortunately wont be coming back because of this.

Updated Reply: To the lovely owner, there were no additional issues. We were not asked to leave. We left because as stated, it was hot inside the bar and as we did not think having a tank top would be an issue for a bar, in Texas. My boyfriend only had an old jacket to cover up with within our reach. It also would make no sense for this rule to only apply to male customers if you are simply wanting people to wear a shirt. As already stated, do better by...

I went here with a group of friends to watch the UFC rights and honestly wasn't expecting much but this bar was great! They have pool, beer pong, a free nightly poker tournament (my husband was excited about this) and good food and drinks at awesome prices! The service was awesome too. The reason I can only give 3 stars is because of the fact that smoking is allowed inside here. The minute you walk in you are bombarded with cigarette smoke. We were here for 4 hours and my throat was scratchy and my eyes were burning from the smoke. When we got home our skin, hair and everything we had on wreaked of cigarettes. To be honest, we were all really bummed because we would definitely come back to this bar if smoking weren't allowed. If cigarette smoke doesn't bother you, I highly recommend this place. Maybe in the future smoking will be prohibited inside and we will be able to frequent...
