The Spork and Truth

Google
Went here for a friend’s birthday on Sunday. The staff were extremely nice and accommodating. Food was really tasty, but a little bit on the expensive side. There’s definitely a premium due to the atmosphere and music. I don’t drink but I believe my group of around 8 people finished off several of the champagne bottles, so it must have been pretty good.

Saturday & Sunday morning are a vibe with solid house music DJs, really good food, and an overall chill vibe. Always love the chicken & waffles, breakfast nachos, and the breakfast quesadilla.

Sunbar is a can’t miss music venue! I’ve come for the bottomless brunch (amazing) but this review is for their EDM venue upstairs! Came to see Eli & Fur, the vibes are amazing from the staff to the people all having fun and dancing. I wish they had more lights/lasers but that may be the artist and not the venue. Biggest issue was only having warm water bottles to give which is kind of crazy being an EDM venue but maybe it was an off night. I’ll definitely be back!

What an amazing night out! came for the party, which felt like a warehouse underground rave but in the center of the city 🖤 Techno music at its best! Also visited the bar section for a little while and the vibe was cool also, light house music, it’s an outdoor space that looked very cool to me, hoping to be back again for more next time we’re in Tempe, Az.

Torn between negatives and positives. Security was thorough, yet respectful, most staff is friendly but YOWZA. The drinks are quite pricey.. that's if you get to place one. I waited at the bar to get a drink for 15 minutes.. Just to order. They helped so many people that came after me, and I feel like it could be an honest mistake, but when you look right at me and help someone across the way, it feels somewhat intentional. All that aside, the service isn't that bad, food isn't great and drinks are a bit overpriced. But the atmosphere/building itself is definitely a 10, lots of lights, trees and natural plants, as well as misters outside.

Very chill place for Sunday Brunch, the vibes were nice and the staff are efficient. Food was very good, just was a hit or miss on the potatoes which is totally fine. The 1-cent champagne is a very smart marketing move I love the concept. I am definitely gonna visit again

Definitely recommend for Brunch. I read the reviews after we went and was surprised, we had a blast, food and service was great, and super reasonably priced. Worth checking out if you’re visiting for a birthday or bachelor/bachelorette trip. The 1cent champagne bottles during weekend brunch is also a nice touch!

The venue is great. The alcohol is stupidly expensive. Definitely pre-game because there's no reason a shot of Ketel should be 20$. There's a bit more of the younger crowd. And they need to vet out who's playing. I've seen good shows and I've seen bad sets. Also, the booths are sectioned off for VIP, but there's never anyone in there. There's no place to sit and chill aside from VIP. Basically, it seems like someone greedy is running the place. But the staff seems ok.

Visiting from out of town and this place was a great way to start off a morning with some friends with food and mimosas! Walked in around noon on a Saturday with no wait and seated ourselves at a booth. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and kind! The place had a live dj in the front so it wasn't loud and it added a good vibe to our brunch. I I ordered their burger which came with potatoes and fruit and it was the perfect meal that filled me up and left me satisfied. The price was affordable and you can order a bottle of champagne for 1 cent with it! What an amazing concept. Can't get anything like that in California. Definitely would come back to this place the next time i visit AZ.

So my wife and I have been coming here for different DJ shows since before COVID. Have had dinner downstairs a few times, and always found the food to be pretty good (perhaps a touch expensive, but nothing overly unreasonable). Kitchen often is closed by 9 PM though which is weird considering the show venue upstairs is open till 2 AM (and this is part of why we stopped eating here after having to go find food elsewhere in Tempe before a few shows where we got there a bit later than desired). We've seen a lot of big names here as they occasionally do get pretty decent headliners. Acraze, Gareth Emery, Layton Giordano, Sander Van Doorn (for example), and last night HOL!. We like a wide range of electronic music and the the diveristy of artists they bring through has always been part of the appeal. Been here when it was relatively empty and also for sold out shows. Anyway, acoustics are okay and the venue is a reasonably fun place to go and dance. Drinks are reasonable, generally around $10 to $11 each (which these days is not bad at all). Crowd is very diverse depending on a specific show and you're never sure what you're going to get on a given night. Our experience last night though prompted me to write this review and may honestly push us away from Sunbar except for very specific shows moving forward. We got into the club at about 10:30 PM. Usually the venue starts filling up more between 10 and 11, but it was already packed. Checked Tixr out of curiosity and realized the show was sold out and was not overly surprised. Long story short, the crowd and lack of crowd control completley ruined the night. I knew with how heavy HOL! is that the show was going to likely be on the wilder side, but it ended up way past what I was worried about. First up, you could barely move in a lot of the venue. Things definitely felt oversold by 50 to 100 people at least. Combined with it being 105 out, temperatures went absolutely nuclear. I don't think I've ever seen it as warm as it was in there last night, probably 90+ degrees easily. There was a lot of issues with "crowd pushers" first of all. I'm so sick and tired of entitled people (often 200+ pound men) who think they can just put their whole body into everyone around them and try to force their way up to the front of the room. This is terrible behavior and I'm seeing it more and more these days. Be patient, tap people on the shoulder to ask them if you can get by and don't just try to muscle your way through people with utter disregard for your fellow man. We were having a decent time until about 15 minutes into HOL!'s set when a bunch of inconsiderate a-holes decided it was time to start moshing. Multiple people including my wife got knocked down. Security was no where to be seen. We ended up getting security over who did calm some of it down, but quite frankly all of these morons should have been ejected and I've seen people thrown out for WAY less. And one other thing to mention. They had sound failures twice during the night. First a deck went down during Desert Hydra's set requiring complete replacement (and an awkward 10+ minute break in the show). Then several minutes into HOL!'s set, everything shut down and had to be started back up. Seriously? Operationally this place has desecended into amateur hour. Maybe my expectations are too high, but I've definitely seen the quality of experience slide. People are potentially getting injured due to over selling shows and incompetent security practices. This shouldn't happen, especially at a venue focused on dance music which is supposed to just be about having fun. You've been warned.

Overcharged and no receipt!!! I participated in the 1cent champagne with one entree and they charged me $25 in total When my meal was only $17. I didn't ask to see a receipt which was my bad. (I paid in cash)I should've been asked if I wanted one regardless. Food was good it just took a long time because the ticket was "lost" vibe was good! Music is amazing as always. Just gotta make sure you're being charged for what you order when you come here

I'm new to town but I have started to check out the EDM festivals in town. Sunbar Tempe is one of them and I stopped by late on a Friday night to see DJ Habibeats. Located in the heart of the action in downtown Tempe, where Arizona State students go out, parking doesn't come easy. At least if you're looking for free parking. Even a lot of the residential areas are permit only. I found an area where I could park late night but it was a 15 minute walk. No worries though, I love to get my steps in! While it's a little confusing, the entrance to Sunbar Tempe for concerts isn't at the front of the club. It's behind in the parking lot. After going to the wrong place, the bouncer directed me to where I had to go. Upon getting through, I saw that they have a nice patio. While it would have been nice to check it out, I was there for the music so I made my way downstairs. At one end, you have a long bar. I went with a seltzer. Despite being super busy, the service was friendly and efficient. From there, I made my way to the other end where the DJ is set up. There are some VIP areas that surround the dance floor and the stage. I'm a man of the people so I was general admission. There's a good size dance floor and even with that, it was packed on a Friday night (around 12:30 p.m.). Despite it being in a basement, it's a nice underground club. The stage is well made, giving the DJ the ability to add light effects and video. And the A/C was running well which is important when you're in a big crowd. Out of the EDM venues I've been to so far in Phoenix, Sunbar Tempe is my favorite. They are a brunch spot too but I was there late night so I can't comment on that. I'll be back!

Sunbar's an ideal place for brunch, especially since each entree comes with a bottle of champagne for mimosas. The brunch menu is small but full of promising dishes. Not a single person at my table complained about their meal, and I was really happy with the brunch special I got! -- smoked salmon bagel. I don't believe this is part of Sunbar's menu all the time, but I really wish it were because I enjoyed it :) The vibes here are cool. There are live DJ's here during brunch, making for a nice outing with friends.

I've been here for both Sunday brunch and the concert (which is a bit further, in the corner of the street). EDM focused bar. Brunch is a nice value as you get a full bottle of champagne with your meal. The meal quality depends on who is cooking that day, it's either ok or Amazing. For concerts I found that there was great ventilation. There is a bar in the back, and clean bathrooms to the sides of the bar. Would recommend earplugs (for any concert really) as the speakers are really loud. Music is always good here.

Walked over to Sunbar after having sushi next door. After passing by this place earlier and hearing the music, my friends and I all wanted to check it out. The dj was playing some really good music! We grabbed a round of drinks at the bar and sat at one of the bigger tables. We were outdoors but the misting system was on so it helped a bit. We got a second round and as we were close to being done, the power went out in the area! We had to wait a bit so staff could figure out how to close everyone out. They were eventually able to find a way and we headed to the next spot indoors with ac lol. Each round was $51 for 5 drinks. Not bad! This would be a nice patio bar when it's cooler for sure. Especially, if it's the same dj playing the same type of music!

Leaving a review once again because my review was removed? Let me once again leave a review for anyone who is coming to sunbar and the experience we had with the customer service and security. Judging from other 1 star reviews on the security and "manager" it seems to be an ongoing problem... I was a customer here along with 2 of my girlfriends. We came for a concert they were hosting. We did grab quite a few drinks. While the performers and the concert was amazing and we had a wonderful time, we needed to sober up before driving home, so we went downstairs in their patio area to sober up. It was empty and we were the only ones in the corner we were sitting as we were drinking water to sober up. I was sober enough but, my friend was not feeling well at all. a young male security guard came up to us with no empathy in his tone and told us we needed to get out. I said okay and that we will, but expressed my concern for my friend as she needed to throw up and asked that i wanted to let her sober up a little bit more as I didn't want her throwing up all over the bar. He said he did not care and that we needed to leave. my friend was slowly throwing up in the trash. He insisted on asking us to leave while my friend was actively throwing up in the trash. I said, "if you could just let her finish and we will be on our way. She's clearly not okay, if you have a problem with this can you grab your manager and they can tell us to leave." He presumes to bluntly say that he is the manager and that he didn't want us throwing up all over the bar, but wouldn't let her finish throwing up in the trash? He was also wearing a security shirt so unsure on the claim of him being the manager was. As she finishes up they remove us. We had a wonderful time at the concert until the end. If you come to sun bar just be prepared they have zero tolerance on the safety of the consumers that drink the alcohol at their bar. We did not feel like they cared for our safety at all even though we were not rowdy or causing a ruckus at all until they rudely asked us to get out. To all my ladies out there be safe! Safety and Customer service is super important and sunbar is definitely lacking and will not be back.

Came here for a Saturday brunch and it was great. We were quickly seated and the service was quick and very friendly. Shoutout to our lovely waitress I'm so sorry I forgot your name. Chicken and waffles were very yummy. All the entrees come with a $0.01 bottle of champagne which is awesome but if you want juice it's like $4 for a tiny little vile of juice lol. Great music and great vibes. Would love to come back.

Came here for Dj Habibeats the venue was very spacious and clean. As for the bar downstairs it was nice and big and it was very busy but looked like fun. They have a dj as well and a good menu for food. Cute for a date night if you like the outdoors.

Wow. Talk about awful service. The group I saw was awesome. They played for almost 3 hours. I danced the entire time. Towards the end I was so dehydrated I when to the bar for 2 club sodas for me and my friends. When I ordered the em the bar tender rolled her eyes at me and said in a very nasty way that'll be $4 a piece. For a club soda. I was parched. I was like ummmm I don't drink and I've never in my 13 years of drinking club soda in a bar been charged $4 for one. I paid it and left a tip because I have a conscious but that was very disrespectful of her. Absolute bs and I called for.

Fun spot for the cheap mimosa brunch weekend special. Definitely more of the college crowd given the area (I was with a bunch of 30 somethings). But super fun and one of the highlights of my trip to AZ over the Thanksgiving long weekend. I was told Sunbar would be POPPIN' but it was lowkey when we went (probably because of the holiday). Either way, had a great time. Food was decent, there moreso for drinks and the hang. Some of the reviews complain about the paper plates but I thought they at least looked nice since they had the wood look. Our server was amazing and attentive. Would go again.

False advertisement. Picture below. Brunch stops being served at 4pm. Sometimes dinner will be served before 5pm but the standard is that dinner isn't served until 5pm. I tried to order something from the brunch menu at 4:10pm and was told that I couldn't do so and that food from the brunch menu stops at 4pm. Not a happy customer.

IF you go, DO NOT leave your tab open. The bartender let a stranger close my tab and leave with my card. He even said it was a male when the name on the card was Caitlin. Definitely a female name. THEN they promised to comp my tab but the next night when I called back they refused.

Sunbar was amazing!! Me and some friends went to see Kream and had a blast! We didn't know exactly when they were going to actually be starting but the bouncers in the front helped us right away and let us know they wouldn't be on till around midnight so we had plenty of time to hang out and get drinks and chill. There was plenty of space and the room was well ventilated and the bartenders were super chill. Definitely can't wait to go back to see another show!!

I love Sunbar. I've gone to shows and brunch consistently for the last 4 years and I'm going to continue to go! For breakfast, brunch burger, chicken & waffles, breakfast nachos, the weekly special 10/10 For shows, love that you can hangout upstairs or downstairs, bathrooms on both floors, and a water jug downstairs (rare at other venues)!!!

The security is so bad here. They will go on a power trip over the smallest things. Worst venue I've ever been to it's so dark and small and gets so hot. Then you have SECURITY that have no idea how to treat people.

For a place with the word bar in it, it surprises me that they wouldn't have don Julio blanco. The bartender on Friday night was an absolute jerk. Definitely not coming back after getting treated poorly.

Had a great time with my girls at brunch. My card got charged 2 weeks later have not been able to receive a refund nor response from the establishment. Don't even waste your time trying to call they will not pick up their phone. Music is great and house music vibe. Will be back but make sure your server doesn't overcharge you like they did with my group.

Came to visit this place with family and I was shocked that the bouncer couldn't accept a Mexican ID. Not only is she obviously of age but the ID is accepted everywhere else in AZ that we have visited except apparently Sunbar. It's giving racist

Caleb D.

Yelp
Don't go here unless you want to get kicked out for nothing. Owner decides to accuse us saying his barista watched someone in my group throw up while we all clearly weren't drinking and didn't even go close to the bathroom. Then proceeded to make a scene kicking us out to make sure everyone knew. You should be ashamed of yourself for targeting random people for nothing.

Yesterday, I went alone to Reinier Zonneveld's show, which I was really excited about because he's one of my favorite DJs. After going to the restroom and returning to my spot, a security guard chased me and said I had to follow him. He then threatened to call the police, claiming I was intoxicated, although I was not. He intimidated me and made me feel very scared, and despite my requests for an explanation, he only kept telling me to leave immediately. This situation ruined what had been a much-anticipated night.

The security guards here are absolutely trash. Came here for Sunday Funday, all was good. We had a few drinks, some mimosas and a guy in our party walked to the restroom and came Back to our table while a security guard was literally walking right behind him. Comes up to our table and is all "I gotta kick him out" we're like why???!! He literally wasn't drunk AT ALL and he says "i watched him walking from the bathroom and he isn't walking in a straight line". Honestly the security guard has literally lost his mind cuz he was fineeeeee. It's like security here gets off on kicking ppl out for literally no apparent reason. I'll never be back.

Sergio F.

Yelp
So I been here a few times, always had a good time, been behind the DJ booth plenty of times, the DJ booth seems to be more of an open area since it's not blocked off, for the first time yesterday while behind the DJ they said I couldn't be back there, I said I was with some people and the issue was left at that. 30 minutes later, we move from behind the DJ to inside the restaurant at a booth, I'm socializing with new people I met and everything is calm and going well, all of a suddenly security comes up to me and says I'm bothering people and that I need to leave, which is totally unfair. Taking selfies with people and exchanging social media is bothering? Security has a big ego problem here. I'm pretty sure the truth was one of the men in the restaurant who knew a female I was socializing with was jealous we were talking for a long time, and this guy knows the workers/security at this place, this guy was pretending to be cool in my face but was doing everything to kick me out behind my back out of pure jealousy. What if I made an accusation that he's bothering people? Would he be kicked out too? Probly not.. all on my birthday weekend too lol definitely not coming back to this hateful place.

Bartenders down stairs are too busy flirting with the college girls, prices on the menu are NOT what they actually charge (got their Shady Coffee drink and menu said $13, was charged $15), water is free downstairs but costs $5 upstairs, and the topping of it all was what happened while waiting for the amazing artists who stayed afterwards for pictures and signatures. After 10 minutes of waiting, my husband & I were told to "get the fuck out" by Sunbar staff. When we questioned what was going on, we were told they "didn't give a fuck" and continued to move us and the rest of the remaining 20ish people out of the upstairs venue. So why did I pay $70+ for 2 tickets plus almost another $80 in drinks to just be told LITERALLY to fuck off right to my face? Just completely and utterly shocked. No need to return. Don't waste your money like we did on this venue.

Came to Mill Ave to people watch and grab a drink. Vibe looked pretty cool here. We ended up stopping in for a drink. I had Mai Tai and it was fantastic. My husband had koffee kolsch, which is his go to craft beer. They had an excellent selection of beer. Craft, Tap and Can. Big shout out to having MD 20/20 and Boones Farm. Food smelled so delicious. We ended up getting classic double cheese burger. So damn good. Our fries were a little cold so manager, brought us a fresh hot plate. Waffle fries bang!. Anyway we enjoyed our meal. Next time we won't share. I was saving space for ice cream nearby and my husband was content on having a 3rd beer. He ended up getting the Kasputin (stout), he enjoyed it a lot. Food was good, plenty to choose from to drink. Will be back. Happy Hour looks legit, especially if I can try that Mai Tai again for $5.

GREAT BARTENDER! All I see when I sort by "new" is 1 star reviews, but I personally had a nice time! I came on Saturday, October 30th and the bartender that night was awesome! She was dressed as Asuka from Evangelion, but I didn't catch her name. I wasn't here for very long, only had one drink, but she was super friendly and talkative with my group! She made us some Green Tea shots that tasted so good. I enjoyed the vibe and would love to come back sometime and try this place for more drinks! Give this place a shot.

This place is definitely a place to hangout with friends for brunch and enjoy the penny champagne. The avocado toast looked appealing but did not hit taste expectations with their thin avocado spread. The chicken and waffles however were a hit to me and the price on the food is good. Your first champagne is a penny and then the next one would be $12. My first time at sun bar was so fun, I recommend having a reservation tho. Service 10/10 but they are a busy place. I just wasn't satisfied with my food at all and the avocado toast was much more expensive than the other brunch options. Everything else is why I would come back here

Bottom line: flamey vibez, great staff, solid location pre ASU game, slightly above average food, standard drinks. Appreciated welcoming bathrooms. Vibez: located just off Mill Ave on 5th street, it's a Newley remodeled spot that spits good times vibez. Mostly open aired space keeps things fresh, music is pumping but at a volume that assures that you can hear your friends talk next to you, plenty of common space to meet and mingle, with a few more secluded nooks for those keeping it low key. Food: I realized I only tried a variety of fires chicken in a few forms. Two sandos (honey hot, and original) both with a small kick of heat, and on top of salad. The chicken was freshly fried and hot, not too greasy, not bad for bar food. Waffle fries were clutch for scooping up the decent spinach artichoke dip. Drinks: nothing was special but it is very important to note we got each round fairly quickly. Bathroom: you could tell it was recently remodeled. Lighting was sufficient but not overly aggressive. I guesstimate two urinals two stalls. Didn't smell like dookie or cleaning products - a happy medium that is hard to achieve. Bar was decently full but never had to wait in line.

Visited this past Sunday to watch the football games with some friends. The atmosphere was great, lots of people and very lively. We all ordered the Brunch specials. I got the hot honey chicken and waffles and the bacon burger. The chicken and waffles were very good while they were warm but got cold and soggy quickly. The burger was solid and filling but nothing special. Service was par, toward the end of our visit we went nearly an hour without seeing her. Biggest gripe was the lack of transparency with pricing. Our meals were advertised between $17 and $18 and we were charged $45 total plus tip. So either pricing was advertised inaccurately or tip was included in the price and not communicated. Either way, we all left feeling overcharged for less than incredible food. Not sure I'd recommend based of my singular experience but willing to give it another try.

A really fun atmosphere too bad the mean bartender had to kill the vibe we asked for water and she failed to inform us that we were going to pay an additional 10 dollars and when we asked about it she threw a fit that we already paid for it we have no option sandbar is a really fun time I hope that bartender gets properly trained on how to treat people. She is extremely rude and tarnished a fun night for us.

Really cool bar with plenty of fresh air and space to social distance. The crafted cocktails were delicious. My husband's mai tai came in a cute tiki glass. I really enjoyed the music playing from the speakers. Lots of great throwback funk songs. We came here for after dinner drinks so we didn't try the food. Id definitely come back again.

It's a *decent* venue for shows. I noticed the security is kinda overzealous about kicking people out for weird reasons. I found myself getting extremely annoyed by the ceiling lights constantly blinding me every few seconds, and there was just not enough room for the amount of people in there. I couldn't dance for more than 10 seconds without being bumped into or stopped by a train of people moving around. There doesn't appear to be any place to get/fill water for free which is concerning. Bartenders were nice. Vibes were ehh. Maybe just because it was New Year's Day but a bunch of people there just seemed messy and not conscious of the people around them. I'll go back if there's an artist I really want to see, but I now understand why it's one of my friend's least favorite venues for shows. It's just not as nice a place to be as shady park for shows in my opinion. It's satisfactory, but definitely not the vibe.

Heard great things. Came for brunch though I wasn't feeling too well (reaction to a new medication). The food instantly disagreed with me. I discreetly went to the bathroom and got sick. Seconds later security approached and blamed my friend for puking in the bathroom said we had to leave. I informed him it was, and apologized. Took our food to go, my friends didn't get to finish their drinks. Wasn't drunk, didn't cause a scene or mess. Security is overzealous. A better approach would have been for security to approach, make an assessment and check that The patron is ok and not intoxicated before bouncing the entire table. Not sure I'll go back. Seems like this place has an ongoing problem.

From the owners of Shady Park, equal parts music, bar, grill and party garden. In the heart of downtown Tempe sits this gem of an appetizer YOU MUST TRY. The tempura Cauliflower was beyond. Crunchy perfection paired with a delicious aioli, you will be sure to eat the entire plate. The chicken wings are local, organic and ordered however you dig em. The Happy Hour menu is undeniably the best price and quality, sipping on a $5 mai tai mid week is the perfect little "happy hour" I could imagine!

Excellent Food... Check Excellent Service...Check Excellent location....Check Excellent HH Specials... Check Sunbar Tempe is the new comer in the hood, That's not saying much because around Mill so much has come and gone at almost a rapid pace. Everyone thinks they have the formula, the location, the menu, but along Mill Attrition will tell you it's just not that easy. On my second visit I was welcomed by name and offered my favorite drink, and the place was busy! Yes I realize it's a college town, I know as well as most as I have been hanging out on Mill for 30 years. My 50 something friends have been shunned far too many times because of our reading glass's and gray hairs. Treated as ancillary customers and at time irrelevant to that servers efforts instead of the businesses bottom line. Our wallets are thick, and we have just been waiting to be welcome and served well at a great price. Sun Drenched Patio!!!! enjoy that while you can because today was amazing! High spirts all around and fun service kept the vibe going. The students can have the place after 10pm but this might just be the best Happy Hour Bar in Arizona.

My oh my oh my. This food experience was beautiful. This is a new spot that just opened off of downtown Mill Ave in Tempe and I hope they flourish. They have outdoor seatings as well as indoor lounging as well. The atmosphere is perfect for hang outs and meet ups as well too. Enough about that, let's get to the FOOD! I ordered the Hemp Tamales and WOW! I'm glad I ordered two orders.... even tho I shared. These were some of the best tamales I've had in a while, and I've eaten 17373636282 tamales in my lifetime. The texture, the taste, the look... it was like a party in my mouth. I can't wait to return to get more from their plant-based menu.

I wish I could leave zero stars. Terrible attitude from the security who claimed he was the head manager & terrible customer service. I paid for a show for some friends & for my partners birthday. We were turned away even with proper identification, very frustrating to have friends travel from out of state, pay for an event and transportation there just to be turned away by the very rude security. I've heard terrible things about the security and seems to check out. First and last time but never even got in, I will not be returning. Seemed like a shit show of a place with self entitled staff.

Went to a concert at this place last night and a security guard pushed their way into our drunk friend's bathroom stall while she had her shirt off! The guard then proceeded to stare at her while she put it back on. This is SUPER NOT OKAY. Beware, ladies; they do NOT respect your privacy here.

Brunch here is great! Cent bottle of champagne with any entree. Can actually be a bit dangerous! They have DJs for brunch which is a super fun vibe!

dont go here. security will accuse you of groping women, being too wasted when i hadnt had more than 1 drink the whole night (im 6'2 185) and had been sitting at the booth stage right the entire time because im disabled and was going to only dance for ravenscoon. as i've been waiting to see him for 4 years. i have my homies who were witnesses there was 5 of them there who didnt get kicked out. i got up hadnt even stepped on the dance floor off the booth stage yet, and the security guard proceeded to kick me out extremely rudely. and i was really confused, he was like "i need to talk to you downstairs" i was like aight im confused but okay? and they proceeded to be extremely rude once i got down there telling me i just had to go i have to get off the premises. it was a back and forth of me asking why im even being kicked out before he finally said "you were belligerently fucked up, bumping into everyone, and we got multiple reports that you were groping people and making them uncomfortable" i was like dude thats bull. go ask my friends i've been sitting there with them the whole night, he said nope we dont give a fuck dude get the fuck out of here now. please for god sake. do not waste your money on this trash rat hole until it gets new ownership or at very least a new security team that knows how to actually do a job properly. i watched people doing c@ke on the floor in front of the security guards and they didnt get kicked out. but me sitting there just getting up after chilling in one spot all night with my homies. i get kicked out and accused of something that could end me in jail? no. that's not okay. i will be taking legal action if the owner keeps avoiding me because im fucking traumatized. i've never been treated like that at a show ive been to thousands, ive never got kicked out of a single one. so again. do not support this place, they do not support you and want you to have a good time, they just want your money that is all. i even got convinced at the door to buy the meet and greet for ravenscoon and never got to do that either. i am depressed. thank you sunbar for the amazingly shitty birthday

This venue is absolutely disgusting. I was hustled for and accosted for drinks and money by the security and Dragged out when I questioned why they where asking me where is my money. My friend that was scared gave them $100. The security told my friend bed that I grabbed their dick, absolutely disgusting.
