UPDATE: They gave me a refund, but a refund doesn’t make up for the disrespect. Not only that the bartender never apologized. I did file a police report along with other reports as there were several things the establishment did wrong. The amount of women that have reached out saying they had similar experiences + being drugged is scary. This should NOT be your favorite bar. If you say go next door to Camp, then you’re giving the same people money. They’re both owned by KPGHospitality.
They also claimed I escalated the situation, but this man had assaulted my friend and THEN me. They know they’re wrong and that claim would not hold up if larger steps are taken. I doubt SAPD will pick up the case, but he assaulted two people where as I pushed him away once. Do better Kung fu.
STORYTIME
As I was ordering a drink at the bar, someone aggressively smacked my friend's a$$ Initially, one of the individuals involved pretended not to speak English, despite having conversed in English earlier. My friend Brianna asked me to translate, and while he apologized, the situation escalated when my a$$ was aggressively slapped. This was not a casual or flirtatious gesture; it was an act of aggression. When I confronted him, he laughed, and I pushed him away in self-defense.
To our shock, the bartender TRISTEN, who was in the process of making my drink, proceeded to kick us out of the establishment. This action was taken after one of my friends intervened between us and the individuals who assaulted us. Despite our attempts to explain the situation, we were unjustly removed from the premises.
Adding insult to injury, the assailant, who was wearing a white cowboy hat, was escorted out through the back exit but somehow found his way back to the front, endangering us further. He was visibly intoxicated, and two of his friends were holding him up due to his drunken state.
It is clear that the individual should not have been served his last drink, especially considering his intoxicated state. Additionally, despite our request for assistance in safely reaching our car, no one offered to escort us.
To make matters worse, the man was dangerously close to entering camp 1604, with his friends barely able to hold him up. I had to intervene and stop the bouncer from letting them in.
Never have I felt more disrespected and unjustly blamed for such an incident. This experience highlights a blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of women at your establishment.
The only one who took time to hear us out was Amir, yet there was nothing he could do. Amir was the only helpful one he deserves to be manager.
