    Xenophobic bar

    During the last pride party, Saturday 26th July, I was expelled of the bar with no justification. The security guard communicated me the reason was "inappropriate behaviour" inside the bar, which is quite unlikely, as I never went inside the bar, and I spent my whole time in the outside. The supposed video of the CCTV cameras that showed this presumed inappropriate behaviour was not shown to me. It was not specified what kind of behavior I had, quarrels, fights, harassment, nothing was specified. Of course, no chance was given to me to prove my correct behaviour, asking the people I was meeting in the place, for example. When I asked for a complain form, it was denied. The person who said to be the manager, identified himself as "Andrew", finally showed up. But he said that he was too busy so he will not give me any complain form. In my opinion, the only inappropriate behaviour, it was to be a foreigner. Paradoxical, that a xenophobic bar celebrates a party of tolerance.

    Where are you from?

    Hi there my name is Ivan and I am from other country than UK or Ireland on the night of 13/04/16 I visited this bar for very first time with my bf and friend from England. And they stop me on the door and ask me about my nationality "we're are you from". I was and I still mad and surprised about this question. After the security stop me (only me) I ask him to speak with he is boss and after few minutes I found him but unfortunately he was very arrogant with me. I never expect to be discriminated in a gay bar that has the rainbow flag everywhere the flag which represent the equality of the different people, a discrimination from a gay people Ho has experience discrimination ant now how bad is that how painful is. I will never recommend that bar as a equal and place were to go and spend your money.
