I was here with my girlfriend and two of her friends from Alabama that were visiting. I was told my GOVERNMENT ISSUED ID was fake. By not only the bar tender but the manager JOHN WILDER along with the security on staff at STYX on the night of 7-5-2024. NO ONE BOTHERED USING BLACKLIGHT OR SCAN TO VERIFY MY ID WAS REAL. The manager went into a story about how he's had 6 fake alabamA IDS pass through in the last week. How could you know they're fake after you said and I quote "WE DONT HAVE BLACK LIGHT HERE"? (There are black lights in the lanes) I can't understand how a business selling alcohol legally doesn't have a way to verify if an ID is real or not. No attempts were even made to verify the validity of the ID. He accused one of my girlfriends OUT OF TOWN friends of being there earlier in the week. He made multiple attempts to threaten us with the police. We encouraged him to alert the police so we could reach resolve, yet he never contacted them, most likely because the police would've been able to show that the ID was in fact real and that he was discriminating against us for his own reasons. We spent 80 dollars on unlimited bowling, 20 bucks at the arcade, 26 dollars in food (only to find out later that they didn't even bother putting in the food order but still took our money). The security told me "don't tell me you think this is happening because you're black", which only added more to my being offended since I never even brought race into this, I only wanted to know how they came to the conclusion that my ID is fake. We weren't even in the establishment for an hour. We left without a refund only due to JOHN WILDER beginning to verbally attack my girlfriend. We left to avoid escalation that could endanger anyone's safety. We did nothing but spend money since we came through the door only to be robbed of our food, time, and money. To patron a business only to be accused of committing what is a FELONY in the state of Florida is insane. What's more insane is that you hold a liquor license yet can't verify if an ID is real or not. I don't know the prejudices of the owner or staff, all I know FOR A FACT is that I was robbed of my money spent and accused of committing a crime with no such evidence even being presented. Whatever reason they had not to serve me wasn't related to my very real GOVERNMENT ISSUED ID. No one was threatened, no property was damaged. If you support bigotry and random acts of hatred then this is the bowling alley for you. And if they don't like you they will make active attempts to lie, villainize you, and rob you. I WILL BE FILING A CLAIM WITH THE BBB ALONG WITH TAKING CIVIL ACTION. YOU CAN LIE ALL YOU WANT BUT THE INCIDENT IS ALL ON FOOTAGE AND IM GONNA LOVE TO HEAR YOU EXPLAIN HOW YOU RUN A BAR WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL WAY OF VERIFYING ID.
