Pepper is an overpriced, bougie, "fresa" bar that is only special because it's in San Pedro and…read moreappears wealthy. It is also VERY discriminatory and you should avoid giving your business to this establishment. We were celebrating my husbands birthday here and had about 30 friends coming. We had reserved a table, bought bottles, and ended up spending near $1000 USD. Anyone who was thin, white, and under 30 had no problems getting in. Anyone darker, heavier, or over 30 was held at the door and were asked the name the reservation was under (no one else was asked this). When these people gave the name, they were told they couldn't come in and given no reason. Several times, we had to go down and fight the bouncer, who called another guy over to handle it, who was on the walkie talkie with someone else debating letting certain people in. Meanwhile, all the "right" people walked right past with no questions or interrogation. Finally, all of our friends made it in for the night. But it was disgusting and infuriating that our friend who was darker skinned Mexican and our other friend who was bigger than a size 8 were embarrassed and disrespected in such a discriminatory way. I've been here before and have always felt it was overpriced and overrated. But I will not be going back here again. I suggest you spend your money somewhere that will value all of your guests and will actually be reasonably priced. Pepper sucks.
