he owner is an absolute dick head. i'll mention that previously it was one of my favorite bars, I go there every so often when I'm out late and have always had great experiences there. I went in with two girlfriends tonight, we are american but I am fluent in Italian. The door guy was a sweetheart, let us in right away and was very polite. there was an empty table so we took it and my friend decided to order a drink. I was on the fence about ordering something but she went ahead. the bartender made her the drink, when my friend tried to pay (with a 20 in her hand) he took it away and said buonanotte under the impression that she was going to share it with us and we'd split one drink between the three of us. no one ever said that we were going to do that and he was a total ass hole immediately. if they have some kind of policy about that that's fine, he could have just mentioned it and we would have ordered something else voluntarily. i then went up to the bar and tried to understand what happened and told him he didn't understand my friend well and I just hadn't decided what I wanted, the bar man ( who told me he was the owner) was still a total dick and said all this garbage about having to do a tessera (which I totally would have done if asked, I said that also to him, no one has ever asked me previously) a and this is a private club and you can't share drinks etc etc; told him i'd order a drink as well and there was just a misunderstanding. he started getting into to with me, we hadn't even been there 5 minutes, i apologized even and he just continued being a rude loser until I raised my voice as he was aggressive and unnecessarily angry; eventually I told him he wasn't being polite when we just wanted a few drinks, then he kicked us out. well he had kind of tried to kick us out at the very beginning why my friend tried to pay for the drink he had made her. it was all bizarre as hell. the whole room was basically silent at this point and I left speechless. No idea what happened, he is probably just an insane coke head. we looked very nice and are very polite girls. I explained to the nice door man who seemed mildly sympathetic but just said, boh è andata così sta sera.. all this took place in italian although the dude was continuously cutting me off in english trying to dumb me down. at one point he also asked where we were from, i'm not sure why that matters. i'll finish with mentioning the room was full of men, basically no women. i thought gay bars were supposed to be safe places are people were supposed to be nicer than the prejudiced dick heads out on the street, it's no different in here. don't give this shit business your money if they can't treat decent people decently. read more
