It was an early summer evening, and I hadn't planned on going there. In any event, I was wearing shorts and sneakers. We sat at the bar for at least 2 hours. At some point, I left to grab some cash at a neighboring ATM. When I came back to the bar, the bouncer refused to let me in sighting the shorts and sneakers and against their dress code. It took some pleading and explanation that my bag was sitting on a barstool within sight to get them to let me back in. I handed my friend some cash, grabbed my bag, and headed back to Brooklyn. <BR/><BR/>My feeling on the way in was confirmed on my way out. The place sucks and is run by a-holes. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I'm white. No racial profiling there. Maybe it's because I'm gay?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337598108955570125.post-37517407968881522852008-03-05T15:49:00.000-05:002008-03-05T15:49:00.000-05:00Not suspect @ all.
