Genuinely had a really good time here! Live music was nice and the crowd was really cool. My only complaint is I had my service dog with me- and no not just an emotional support animal, a trained service dog to assist with my disability. Since it was loud punk music playing we had already planned to sit on the patio hence why I didn’t correct the door man and didn’t wanna make it a big deal(plus it would’ve been hard for him to hear me over the music anyway), but I went out of my way to tell the doorman “Just so you know, he’s a service animal” and he had a vest clearly marked as such, I was letting him know in case we had to go into the bar to use the bathroom or anything. In response he said “Okay, but all dogs have to stay on the patio”. He wasn’t rude, it was just clear to me he wasn’t educated on the fact service dogs are by law considered medical equipment and have public access rights, including inside bars or food establishments so long as they are not behind the bar or in the kitchen.
Again not at all unhappy! And like I said we were planning on sitting outside anyway, but I felt as if I couldn’t go in and use the bathroom or anything in fear of being asked to leave. He was just doing his job and didn’t know, maybe the bar has had experiences before with fake service dogs and thats why he said that, but it would be nice if maybe the staff had a brief meeting educating on service dog public access, ADA laws, and etiquette :) overall the place had a very nice vibe and we had a good time!
