They asked the girl behind the bar for a drink and were ignored, then after a second request laughed at. They asked someone behind the bar for a drink and he apparently was not a bartender. The other two people in our group, did not get served. 4 of us entered the establishment and promptly two of us were served, we stood at the bar and sang along to the music videos that were playing on mute on the TV. We will be advising everyone we know to avoid your establishment in the future, not due to the behavior of your staff that led to the disservice, but due to the reactions of the managers and how the situation was (not) resolved. I was a patron at this bar Saturday night, and while half of my group had a wonderful time, the other half were treated so poorly none of us will ever return. They're lucky I didn't record all of this because it'd be blasted on social media right now. I WILL NEVER COME BACK and neither will my friends and anyone else who asks about Tabu to me! I told my friends to put their drinks down and to leave because this is not okay. Yet, was still trying to kick them out.Ħ. My friend, knowing that she did nothing wrong questions this and the bouncer didn't have an explanation. The bouncer comes and tries to escort my friends who are mixed out.ĥ. She went back upstairs to ask a different bartender for a drink he gets an attitude and says "they're done" (referring to my two mixed friends) and starts laughing with the same girl bartender about the situation. So, my friend spoke with the manager.he offered a complimentary drink but she said no. The bartender also stared at her and just laughed in her face. She waited until the bartender was done doing what she was doing and asked again, same thing. The mixed friend went to go order a round of drinks and a girl bartender with black hair standing right in front of her face ignored her. One of them asks if a server (who was behind the bar) was a bartender (not knowing that he was a server) and all he said was "oh no I don't make drinks".He didn't even show her who the bartenders where.Ģ. not because they were crazy busy but, because the staff was negligent and extremely rude!ġ. We all paid $10 to go upstairs and the 2 mixed friends didn't even get a chance to order a drink. I came in with a few friends (2 white 2 mixed) the white couple got serviced right away while, the mixed ones were ignored and were even asked to leave and they dd nothing wrong at all!! Best for: Dancing, hot men who are single and ready to mingle.Gayborhood should be a nice experience, this time it absolutely was NOT! I feel embarrassed for even suggesting going to Tabu and never will again. Upstairs is Woody’s epic dance floor that’s often filled to capacity. Downstairs is your more classic bar with good pub grub. If you haven’t been to Woody’s, you haven’t been to the Gayborhood. Woody’sĢ1, Woody’s is a staple in the Gayborhood. You’re never at your best when you’re at Voyeur, but that’s not why you come, is it? Best for: Late-night drinks, parties hosted by Stimulus, drag shows by Mimi Imfurst, turning your nose up at the hot dogs. Woody’s | Photo by Kelly Burkhardt VoyeurĢ1, The Gayborhood’s only after-hours club bumps with late-night dancing and insane light shows after 2 a.m. Best for: Festive, unpretentious vibe, basic bar food, karaoke, and drag performances. Venture InnĢ1, One of the oldest gay bars in the city maintains its old-fashioned vibe with snazzy cocktails, fabulously gay shows, and karaoke. Best for: Simple drink with simple folk, pre-partying shenanigans, a jukebox. Because of its small interior, it can get very crowded very quickly, which makes you feel all the more important when you snag yourself a seat. Ubarįormerly known as “Uncles,” Ubar is a smaller, simpler center bar with a nice selection of craft and imported beers on tap. Best for: cocktails, singing at the piano, catching great performances around said piano, the upstairs dancefloor. Tavern offers pub grub, a sick piano bar, and a totally awesome dance floor. This spot just got redesigned and it looks better than ever. 21, Not to be confused with Tavern on Broad.
