"This email is in reference to the feedback I submitted on your website and still haven't gotten a response back. I submitted that to their website for feedback and after 24 hours had no response, I then emailed it word for word to jeff beginning with Now I\'m disgusted by your establishment and staff. I had a good time, until I found out how terribly my friends had been treated. It\'s offensive to be lumped into that category by people who clearly had no handle on the situation. It\'s also absurd and ridiculous for whoever it was to assume that our group was in any way related to that random guy who apparently groped someone.

This is laughably terrible service and treatment, especially for a bar that has an \"anti-discrimination\" policy publicly posted online. The manager who responded to her emails actually called her a racist for self-describing as mixed when describing the situation.
#TABU GAY BAR PHILADELPHIA SKIN#
My friend felt that your employees refused her service because of the color of her skin because the two in our group who were served were Caucasian and the two who were refused service are PoC. Some dolt manager here wrongly assumed that someone in our group groped someone and had to be removed. When my friend tried to report this whole incident to a manager, she got a snide, dismissive response. While we were outside, we saw some guy get bounced and yell and act belligerent. I finished my drink and went out to smoke and found my two friends sitting outside, one in tears, after having been refused service and then been asked to leave by the bouncer. They asked the girl behind the bar for a drink and were ignored, then after a second request laughed at. They asked someone behind the bar for a drink and he apparently was not a bartender. The other two people in our group, did not get served. 4 of us entered the establishment and promptly two of us were served, we stood at the bar and sang along to the music videos that were playing on mute on the TV. We will be advising everyone we know to avoid your establishment in the future, not due to the behavior of your staff that led to the disservice, but due to the reactions of the managers and how the situation was (not) resolved. I was a patron at this bar Saturday night, and while half of my group had a wonderful time, the other half were treated so poorly none of us will ever return. They're lucky I didn't record all of this because it'd be blasted on social media right now. I WILL NEVER COME BACK and neither will my friends and anyone else who asks about Tabu to me! I told my friends to put their drinks down and to leave because this is not okay. Yet, was still trying to kick them out.Ħ. My friend, knowing that she did nothing wrong questions this and the bouncer didn't have an explanation. The bouncer comes and tries to escort my friends who are mixed out.ĥ. She went back upstairs to ask a different bartender for a drink he gets an attitude and says "they're done" (referring to my two mixed friends) and starts laughing with the same girl bartender about the situation.

So, my friend spoke with the manager.he offered a complimentary drink but she said no. The bartender also stared at her and just laughed in her face.

She waited until the bartender was done doing what she was doing and asked again, same thing. The mixed friend went to go order a round of drinks and a girl bartender with black hair standing right in front of her face ignored her. One of them asks if a server (who was behind the bar) was a bartender (not knowing that he was a server) and all he said was "oh no I don't make drinks".He didn't even show her who the bartenders where.Ģ. not because they were crazy busy but, because the staff was negligent and extremely rude!ġ.

We all paid $10 to go upstairs and the 2 mixed friends didn't even get a chance to order a drink. I came in with a few friends (2 white 2 mixed) the white couple got serviced right away while, the mixed ones were ignored and were even asked to leave and they dd nothing wrong at all!! Gayborhood should be a nice experience, this time it absolutely was NOT! I feel embarrassed for even suggesting going to Tabu and never will again.
