Keep Going!

6 friends,my Husband & I were talked into going to a bar in-state instead of driving to Philadelphia like usual for a Saturday Night. None of us have been there before and the buzz was worth giving it a shot. It is in a very seedy part of the city and feels QUITE unsafe as you have to find street parking to boot. We get there and it looked like someone's house, which usually is cool so we went in anyway. No friendly greeting at all and we decided to just go upstairs to the source of the usual bad techno music because downstairs was crowded and small. Upstairs was just as tiny with a small dancefloor & loud music. We ordered some drinks, which were good. My 6 Single friends walked around to mingle. We were told there would be scantly clothed shot boys and they were, but they were white. My friend asked if they had minorities as shot boys and they said no the owner doesn't hire " them" for that. The clientele pretty much were cliques of white men and our Black friends felt ignored even as far as not getting song requests heard. My white friends into Black men felt out if place because no men of color were their, represented,nor catered to. We left that evening thinking/feeling we should have kept going. That's my advise to you as well,keep going to somewhere else.
