Hombres Lounge

I wanted to write a review upon my first visit to this bar a month ago, but after a few days of cooling off, I decided to reconsider. But then I decided to give them another try this past Friday and received almost the same exact mistreatment. Let's unpack this. A month ago I decided to stop in and have a few drinks and check out the vibe. First problem I incurred was the bouncer took a look at me from head to toe and told me "I could not come inside". I questioned him on why was I being refused entry and til today I never received a real response. So I stood outside of the bar as I began to schedule a LYFT car to come and pick me up. As I was waiting for my car to arrive, the same bouncer came back to the door and told me that he spoke to the manager and it was ok to let me in. Being confused, I decided to just cancel my LYFT and proceed to have a few drinks at the bar. Upon exiting I approached the bouncer and asked him what was the real reason I wasn't allowed in earlier. He replied that HE had never seen me there before and was just being careful. Let it be known that I was the ONLY African American male in a prodominantly latino bar that night. Fast forward to last Friday, I walked up to the door and interacted with the same bouncer thinking that he'd recognize me from a month prior and all would be well. This time he stared me down from head to toe, frisked me twice, and then asked me "are you good"? Whatever that may mean to him, I replied "yes I'm good." Once again I was allowed entry and once again being the ONLY African American male in the bar. This time around it was a new series of bad experiences. I received nothing but unwanted stares from the bartenders. I overheard a personal argument between two bartenders with one in the middle trying to keep the peace. Drunken patrons stumbling into chairs as they exited the bar and guess who was the first person the bouncer asked to leave once the deejay stopped playing, lights came on and the bar was closing? Yes it was me. Anyone who really knows me will tell you I'm the last person to attribute every problem to racism. But these two incidents were very hard to ignore. I originally was attracted to trying out this neighborhood bar because of it's name. But I'm here to tell you that I definitely didn't feel like a "hombre" on neither occasion. My takeaways from all of this is to tell the manager to train your bouncer to be more professional. Also even in black and brown communities you can still be treated as unwanted or less than. Please do better.

Me encantaría trabajar en la barra tengo experiencia de bartender y estoy en la escuela de bartender para obtener mi certificación.

ME ENCANTA! LA ATENCIÓN Y EN AMBIENTE GENIAL !

Could have a little more women food alright great atmosphere mid price mediocre

Soy constante en visitar este sitio , últimamente he notado que por el afán de vender , de sacar propinas y entre otras cosas se va viendo afectado el servicio y mi experiencia. Venden un cubetazo a las 3:45 am y a las 4:00 am ya me están sacando , no les importa que quedan 3 o 4 cervezas aún; tampoco dan opción de llevarlas. Por otro lado he notado que los meseros atienden destapan lo o las cervezas y como si fuera protocolo de una vez destapan la de Ellos , lo mismo ocurre con el aguardiente , por defecto de una vez sirven para ellos sin ser invitados. Este proceder ya es una constante del personal A mi forma de ver es de muy mal gusto El lugares genial , por eso hago esta observación para que no bajen de nivel

The best party, the best atmosphere and delicious cocktails. I love it!!

Hombres Lounge is where the good times roll! Awesome vibes, great drinks, and fantastic music. Can't get enough of this place!
