Not one to write a review, especially a negative one as this is someone’s business but I’m telling you to steer clear…
Attended the venue on Saturday night, after having a good night elsewhere, and thought I’d join a friend here. After around 25mins of...being inside, I stepped outside for 5 mins, and was then denied to re-enter. Confused, I asked the security on the door the reasoning to be denied back in, to which they wouldn’t give one and just said the “owner doesn’t want you here” (you know how this goes) … Anyway after standing there asking why I can’t go back and finish my drink, they eventually accuse the ‘group’ I’m with of spiking a young girl in the venue, they have seen it on the CCTV, and have called the police. Funnily enough the group were the only black people in the venue… but obviously nothing can be proven.
Confused and shocked, I patiently wait for the police to arrive, asking to review the cctv in the meantime - to which of-course I can’t (because they are lying) police come.. test the drink, nothing wrong with it.
Then suddenly this short bald man arrives and starts getting aggressive in my face, thinking he’s just a totally drunk random putting his two pence in, turns out he’s the owner - lol. Told me that HE now doesn’t want me here because it’s his bar and he can pick and choose - understandable.
Complete disgrace, shameful, and just by reading other reviews, I’m not the only one that’s had a run in with this utter waste man.
I would like to shout out one of the other security on the door, who did talk to me with respect, and completely diffused the situation as if he wasn’t there definitely would have escalated.
Anyway, don’t spend your hard earned money in a venue where the owner is a rude, aggressive bully who thinks it’s ok to be deceitful and lie.
There are plenty of nice pubs/bars in Rochester, as to what I found out first hand.More
