👎Unwelcoming and Discriminatory Treatment
Came to Flawd during the Manchester Jazz Festival, excited to enjoy some live music. While the staff at the bar were initially friendly and the rosé wine I ordered (two glasses for £17.85 – quite pricey) was decent, the experience quickly turned sour.
Because the venue was full, the staff suggested we stand near the entrance. We weren’t the only ones — many people were standing or sitting outside on the chairs placed by the bar. However, a staff member (a woman with long black hair and blunt bangs, dressed entirely in black) came up to my boyfriend and me, very sternly telling us that we were not allowed to drink outside😅
When I politely asked why, she repeated my question in a mocking tone and told us again — quite rudely — that it was “the rules.” We felt singled out and unwelcome. I couldn’t help but notice I was the only Asian woman standing outside, while others were allowed to enjoy their drinks with no issue.
This double standard left a very bad taste. 👎Whether it was personal bias or poor communication, it ruined what should’ve been a fun night. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and inclusive atmosphere!!! Shame!!!
