Bitemerain – The PLACE (owners – two brothers) are NOT racist!!!!! Take this from a BLACK man who is PERSONAL FRIEND of both owners/brothers!!!!! I’m sure you know MANY venues have a “door policy” and I love that as many of us do. Back in the day when I use to bounce at Magique (61st and 1st Avenue) – the great STUDIO 54 started this all; we a. would not let in a group of single guys – most woman do not want to be bothered by morons who can’t act as an “adult” and feel that because they bought them one drink they “own” them, and besides many woman hate a drunk – which some assholes can’t control and come out to purposely get that way, b. prefer to let in single woman first, c. looking to get a good balance/ratio mix of men to woman and d. maybe it was your approach to the rope or e. yes HE/THE BOUNCER was a racist – but that is doubtful since 2/two of my friends work the door and they are Puerto Rican and one of the other guys is BLACK. Remember you DID say he let you in the FIRST time there, If he were a “racist”, he would have NEVER let you in that first time. Besides there are MANY BLACK people who are there on any given night especially Friday and Saturday nights! Hope this was helpful to you. My wife and I are there almost every weekend.

bitemerain, you should really contact the manager or owner. I’m sure the website has contact information, or call and let them know. Sounds like the issue is with the bouncer and more then likely the manager doesn’t even know what he’s up to outside. That’s really not cool, but you should tell them! I’m sorry this happened to you.

Yes this place is great!The 1st time i went i had major fun.But the 2nd and 3rd time i went i was havin problems to get in.I felt like i was bein discriminated because im black.There is this 1 guy at the door who keeps lyin that theres a private party inside.Not once did he ask me and my 2 friends if we were on the list.He just told us “private party you cant come in.” As i watched a bunch of peolpe walk right in without him even saying a word to them. I even ask a few people if they knew the person throwing the event and they told us no they just walked in.Some strange guy even came up to us n told us that this guy was racist wait for the bald head guy to come out.I was so upset because i really had fun the first time i went with my caucasion boyfriend.When i told him about it he too was very upset.Just lettin yall know.

update – slider deal is gone :( After keeping me well fed all summer, they have eliminated the 4 for $4 deal for those those tender little burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one.

(knowing full well that I will be browbeaten and belittled just for askin….I still foolishly ask anyway)

What’s a ‘red haired slut’?

(Err, in the sense that it was used in this article, as opposed to someone simply answering ‘Wilma’, in which case I’ll get Barney to set Bam-Bam on ya)

The sliders deal makes me happy – 123BSB can be a pain in the butt to head to, so this would make up awesomely for it!
