IBT's Bar + Food — Restaurant in Tucson

I went to this bar with my girlfriend and our 2 bandmates/best friends last Monday May 19th, and we had a very aggressive and unnecessary experience with a security guard. The four of us had been there outside dancing, talking to our friends, and minding our own business for a couple hours when the bouncer from the front entrance came outside and told my girlfriend, (who was dancing with our best friend at the time,) that it looked like she was making our friend uncomfortable. I have no idea how he came to this conclusion, considering the four of us had been very close all night and arrived/left together. Our friend in question told this security guard multiple times that my girlfriend didn't do anything wrong, we all told him that. He completely disregarded the person who was said to be the "victim" in this situation (our friend who was dancing with my girlfriend) who again, said MULTIPLE times that she was not making anyone uncomfortable. He then grabbed her and very aggressively pulled her up the stairs toward the exit, and she fell because he was pulling her too hard and she is healing from a broken ankle. He picked her up by her arms and ordered another security guard to grab her legs to carry her out. Because she is recovering from a recently broken ankle, the entire time this was happening the three of us were yelling at him to not grab her ankles, and the fact that she was not anywhere near drunk enough to be kicked out. He blatantly ignored us when we said we would handle it and clearly was targeting her. We all saw it first-hand and remember everything that happened. We all agree that he handled this situation poorly and that he was aggressive, unreasonable, and discriminatory for absolutely no reason. we really were just dancing and minding our business. Now her ankle is swollen and she can't walk on it, she hit her head on the way out, and we are all absolutely livid that our night was ruined by this man blatantly targeting...

This is a great place to go when you are not constantly worried about being harassed by the head of security/bouncers. The man is completely unprofessional and biased towards certain patrons. My friend who is a regular, and well liked by the employees and even the various hosts, has been escorted out of the bar with no explanation on more than one occasion. Yes I will also say in full disclosure that he has also been escorted out for his level of intoxication a small number of times. However, this man (to be visually clear he is the bouncer with the very thick glasses and usually wearing a communications ear piece) seems to find some outlandish reason to kick my friend out of the bar most nights. At this point it seems that the actions of this man towards my friend is more of a personal vendetta than a business or liability decision. One might even argued that it is borderline harassment or even discrimination. But I honestly feel that this goes beyond my friend. I have been reading the reviews and it seems that there are various issues with this bouncer. I have come across the words rude, misogynistic, dismissive, unprofessional (as I have also stated) and much more. I could only hope that for the sake of the customers, myfriend included, and the reputation of this establishment that the actions and conduct of this man are taken into serious review. In all honesty, I know this isn't the most appropriate way to express this complaint. But there are no other avenues. I searched the website and it would seem this is the only way to even possibly get this...

I went with my friends this evening. I have gone multiple times and have loved it. Unfortunately tonight I experienced a form of prejudice. My friends and I were in line and after I had presented my I.D, The bouncer decided to give me a sobriety test. I was confused but proceded with the procedure. As I thought it was a new policy, I then proceded to continue with my other two friends who bought drinks. I was confused because they did not have to complete their new “policy” as well did my friends after me. I started to feel uncomfortable as this has not happened to be and my friends and I decided to leave. On the way out the bouncer asked if I “found my I.D??? Obviously I did otherwise why was I able to enter the club? I felt I was discriminated and felt I was not wanted. I am writing this 30 minutes or so after the incident. I would like to formally talk to management after this event. This is not okay and I do not appreciate the fact that I was the only African American who was alienated, even though my friends ( who were white) were not tested. I never want this to happen again want to make sure this never happens again because I live to support the LGBTQ+ (and is a part of the LGBTQ* community)club who accepts people who feel “less than” because they...
