Lesbian & LGBTQ+ guide to Atlanta

“I came here Friday for Juneteenth and had an absolute ball. Customer service from the bar was fantastic from everyone EXCEPT the big, bald, older white bartender who was extremely unwelcoming and rude. I’ve never had security called on me in my life, and when the security came they were equally confused as to why they were alerted. I simply asked for the bill and got security called. I know it makes zero sense, imagine how I felt in the situation. Anyway I was still able to enjoy myself and the other bartenders took great care of me after the situation”

“as this sad issue still hasn't been resolved, it's time to post about this unsettling experience - one sunny Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago, i was enjoying conversation and a cocktail with some friends on the back deck, as i did over the course of 5 years spending hard earned money at this establishment! ALWAYS being respectful and NEVER causing any trouble here! i was approached by manager "JAMES" who was clearly, not in a good head space, as his pupils were extremely diluted, and somewhat a slur in his voice - this angry manager told me the leave the patio and i quote "or i will throw you out of here myself" ?? telling me the reason, he was giving me a lifetime ban, was something happened at another establishment?? (um what sir, this is blakes, not another establishment lol) Not only was he completely wrong about this accusation, it would still have nothing to do with the establishment Blakes! but what he was doing was playing politics with a new angry DJ they hired there, that also harassed me in the establishment one day, over an obnoxious creepy friend, that was continuing to harass me online and in person - the politics extended to a rude door man called GUY, and three of them, creating made up instances, and fabricated stories, to bully me and remove me from the bar. After going to the front of the Bar to explain to "James" that you can't throw a long time customer out of the bar for an alleged story somewhere else, and he said okay "i did it because i just don't like you" (lol) and obviously in a very incoherent state, by the clear look of his diluted eyes and slurred speech - this is a sickening abuse of power, and bullying from a guy, that obviously doesn't take his job or the customer clientele seriously, or the safety of anybody making physical threats at me, and not able to make sound decisions and good judgment, with obvious impairment each time you see this guy in the establishment, and very much that afternoon - This guy understanding his wrongdoing, went to other establishments and tried to cover his terrible managerial actions, making up more fabricated instances, suggesting an incident on camera , the only thing on camera is a guy clearly not with it, removing from the bar for nothing! lol....it's sad that people like this, are running the most popular gay bar in the city, and bullying people out of jealousy and anger.”
