My friends and I enjoyed our time at Trunks until an incident occurred with one of the bartenders last night. I don't know his name, but he was a white, straight-passing, shirtless guy wearing a beanie. We had been ordering drinks from the back bar (nearest to the bathrooms), and at one point, I had paid for a drink and was still at the bar when the bartender just grabbed my almost-full drink and dumped it out. I asked for an explanation, and he said that I was falling over and too drunk. I had in fact not been falling over and was not causing any trouble or disruption. He kept insisting that I was too drunk and needed to leave. I told him that I had paid for my drink and demanded a refund. He said that he would refund me but that I would need to leave still. Instead of refunding my card like he previously said he would, he just handed me a $5 bill and then called security to make me leave. I tried to explain the situation to them, but the two large male security guards (one of which was named David) instead just literally lifted me and carried me out of the bar. It was extremely humiliating and disrespectful. I understand that bartenders need to call security when there is a threat to safety in the bar or if there are people who are drunk to the point where they are incapacitated, but I was clearly neither of those. When I exited the bar with my friends following me in confusion, I realized I did not have my phone. I tried to re-enter to try to find it, but the bouncer would not let me or my friends back in. It was extremely frustrating, and while kind strangers tried to help me by going back in the bar for me, it was just too crowded for them to successfully help me without me being able to check all the areas I had been. Part of me wonders whether the bartender had taken my phone while I left it on the counter while paying and then proceeded to kick me out of the bar. I went back to check today, but the phone was nowhere to be found. I know that these things happen, so I'm not rating the bar 1-star because of my phone being stolen but because of the treatment I received from the bartender and...
Read morealways one of my go-to bars when i’m out in weho. i’ve been a loyal patron for years. if you want a no frills gay bar where you get great service, this place is for you. the bartenders are really friendly, swift to take your order, and professional. the regulars are extremely nice. there’s always a dance party happening to old 00s hits on the weekends. its a really fun place to end the night. the drinks are stiff and not over-priced by west hollywood standards. the atmosphere is a bit divey, in the best way. highly recommend! i’ve always felt safe and welcome here. i’ve never had a problem with pick-pocketers like some other reviewers, but that’s certainly not the...
Read moreI used to like this place but it turns out to be very toxic. My friend and I walked in and was waiting to order a drink and the bartenders don’t even notice us. They only apparently notice all the masc for masc men that’s in the bar. To Me that’s toxic. People act like they are better then other people. Bad atmosphere. Nothing is important that will ever go on at this particular bar becuase I definitely get treated better at any other bar on this street. I will go to the other bars that have better manners and the guys are nice . Plus the drinks are expensive here. I value myself more important then those only care about looks and...
