Temple Bar and Lounge

This place is run by thugs who get a kick out of committing battery against customers for no reason. Went in with some friends as I was their designated driver for the night (which means I had ZERO drinks that night and was completely sober). I recognized some other friends who happened to be there. After hugging them, a 50ish year old man of medium stature with white long hair, who I later found out was named Rodney, confronts me stating I bumped into him and was in his space. My response was that no I was not, which prompted him to get closer to me. I asked what his problem was and the man immediately attempted to wrestle me to the ground. As the skirmish progressed, this man elbowed my girlfriend in the face as she was attempting to pull him off of me. Quickly all 4 bouncers ripped my shirt and threw me out while the man was confusingly being protected while barking orders at the bouncers. All while the bouncers were yelling misogynistic insults and slurs at my girlfriend. Turns out this man Rodney is some sort of manager and/or business partner and is allowed to do this to any customer he pleases. In short, Temple's management is allowed to commit unprompted battery on the clientele with zero repercussions. Not sure why anyone would want to appoint this thug Rodney as manager or go into business with him, but that's not my problem. Side note: Temple is also xenophobic so if you are an immigrant that hasn't gotten your U.S. ID yet and only have your country's passport (which is, in fact, a valid form of identification in California) don't bother unless you are ready to accept the bouncer's inevitable offer of a $20 bribe. I have been witness to this twice. Actually even if you have one don't bother either. Place is not worth it.

The security guy said he will only accept a US passport or driver's license as ID when we had a valid passport from another country. Never experienced this in my life before.

Refused entry on my passport

They told person in front of me “they don’t allow international ID” (prob cause it was from India) and went on to allow me in with my “international ID” (prob cause it was from canada). Low key discrimination?

No te dejan entrar si eres extranjero

They don't let foreigner enter. They ask for US Id or US passport only. I wonder why they do this.
