Burke St Pub — Restaurant in Winston-Salem

Burke St Pub, my first experience. I took my girlfriend here to have a few drinks, listen to some music and talk. Here's how it went;

We were asked for ID at the door, which to me is a positive sign, an assurance that this business is taking being responsible serious and is mindful of the law. The manner in which this was done was also fun and curtious, and left us feeling like we were in a friendly environment.

The drinks were prepared pretty swiftly despite it being a somewhat busy evening, and the two bartenders present seemed in good spirit and appeared to be working hard, the kind of professionals you'd expect in a setting like this one. We chose a booth for added privacy and spent about an hour and a half inside it.

I noticed on several occasions that security was an obvious presence, and rather than being simply intimidating looking or stationary, they were active and jovial, looking both fun and capable. In today's climate this is a huge thing, it's not uncommon not for regular people to have concerns about going out at night, so anything business like this can do to alleviate those concerns in a way that isn't militant is nice.

Drink prices for reasonable and even the patrons that I was around were very friendly. Another bartender came in later in the evening I'm guessing to provide additional coverage for the crowd. She was pretty friendly as well and I'd go back just...

This place blatantly discriminates against black people. I am disgusted at this atrociously unacceptable nonsense. It is 2018. Why are people still myopic, hateful fools? My friend and I (GRADUATE STUDENTS AT WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY) were told that we can only enter this place with a membership. However, several of our peers who were white entered earlier (and had no membership) were only told to show their ID. Upon inquiry on how to obtain a membership, I was told to come back during "business hours". He proclaimed that this is a private club, and that only "members" could enter. We called, and were told there was no membership. Again, I am disgusted. If I could give this place zero...
