First off, AWFUL service. There were some very nice security guards/bouncers, but the leader of them, was extremely unprofessional, not being able to tell the difference between a REAL ID and a fake one.
I turned 21 in early July of 2023. It says clearly on the ID that I am of age. He deemed my ID as a fake, to which, my birth certificate and passport would state otherwise. Honestly, should I just carry my birth certificate with me instead?
On the bottom of your ID you've received before you're 21 includes the "U18 Until Date" and "U21 Until Date". All of those IDs will say different days than your ACTUAL birthday. And I understand, that is when your ID is valid, however, I was visiting this location, AFTER those dates. It was the 25th of July that day.
The thing is, it's not about that. The fact is, the head bouncer, was UNABLE to identify how the dates on the bottom were different than the days on my DOB on top.
His exact words, "Okay, this ID is flaky, and fake. Why are the birthdays on top that says DOB different from the U21 Until Date?"
To think a professional bouncer would not know this detail on Identification Cards.
Keep in mind, this is a New York State ID, meaning, I know he has seen plenty of these.
Just overall, unprofessional, and I will not be returning along with my friends.
However, thanks to the other kind bouncers for being attentive.
Attached below is the proof of my said point, along with an online example ID provided by the New York DMV. The names are blurred out because it is my ID, along with a friends.
