This place is awful. I went with a few of my friends for a birthday trip, and when the bouncers attempted to interrogate me and my friends less than two minutes into us getting in to see if we were the people who vomited on the dance floor, I knew we should have left then and there. But, we stayed and we waited for 45 minutes for my friend to grab a drink. I was still very much sober considering IT WAS OUR FIRST BAR OF THE NIGHT, so I sat very proped up on the upper back of the (sticky) couch in the corner, looking for my friend in the VERY packed dance floor. I wasn't causing trouble, and I was up there for less than a minute. Once I spotted my friend in the crowd, I sat all the way down. I immediately had a flashlight shoved in my face. The bouncers asked me to follow them. I wasn't rude, I hadn't said anything at that point, and once I realized I was being kicked out, I stopped in the hallway and tried to talk to the bouncer and ask him what had even happened, or if I can wait for my friends or at LEAST catch my bearings. He then proceeded to YELL IN MY FACE before I could even get a word in to get a move on, and that I won't be allowed back in. I tried to ask for a refund for the drinks I DIDNT EVEN RECEIVE, and the security at the front refused to let me get a word in, just assuming I was as trashed as the rest of their customers. Absolute WASTE of $27 for two drinks I didn't get, a waste of almost an hour, and a sad excuse for a bar. I'd absolutely get it if I was climbing on furniture drunk, but there was absolutely no reason to talk to me like that when I wasn't causing a scene, and honestly could have had a conversation with me instead of dragging me out to a back hallway. Hope they also kicked out the guys reaching up the skirts of the blacked out women in the bar too, but considering the other reviews I'm seeing on this bar I SERIOUSLY doubt it.

This past Saturday, we had one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a club. My cousin’s husband was simply waiting for her outside the restroom when a security guard came up and shoved him out through the emergency exit for no reason. He wasn’t drunk he was literally just standing there.
Not to mention just before we approached the entrance I was taking pictures and handed my boyfriend my phone so i could pull my ID (at this point he was already showing the bouncer his own ID) and I accidentally handed my boyfriend my phone with the camera still on and the bouncer started TRIPPIN that the camera was on and I let him know I just took a selfie right before we approached them and its was not my boyfriend’s phone nor was he recording then or anyone else.
That kind of treatment is unacceptable and flat-out abusive. Security is supposed to protect guests, not humiliate them or make them feel unsafe. Instead, this guard acted with unnecessary aggression and ruined our entire night. That guy was on a POWERTRIP !
It’s disturbing to think that paying customers can be treated like this at Temple Bar & Lounge. If this is the kind of staff they employ, I would never recommend anyone come here. Nobody should have to worry about being pushed out and disrespected when they’ve done nothing wrong.
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

I really enjoy San Jose’s downtown nightlife, but Temple Bar & Lounge was a huge disappointment. This was my first and last time visiting. The bouncers were rude, the staff was unfriendly, and the overall atmosphere felt unwelcoming. Honestly, you’re better off at any bar in San Pedro Square, every one of them offers a much better experience than this place.

This is a terrible terrible place. The bouncers are rude and they discriminate on the basis of race. They asked to check my bag without a woman on their security team. They were rude and passed racially offensive comments.

Do not go here if you want to have a fun night. The crowd is creepy and just left me uncomfortable, there were men just standing around and watching others make out or dance, it was so obvious as they even tried a few times to grab someone or just pushed people around. I was literally pushed by 10 different people even through there was enough space to pass.
The bouncers were useless too, they were not paying attention or cared how uncomfortable these guys were making others. I would never go to this bar or recommend it to anyone.

DO NOT COME HERE! They are a SCAM!!! My friends and I went last night, and they charged us $72 for 4 (BAD) margaritas. Then, the next day, they charged her card $90 instead of the authorized amount. The DJ was also terrible. AVOID this place at all costs.

Absolutely ridiculous, we had a International PASSPORT MY FIEND WAS ALLOWED LOL. I WHO HAD A STATE DRIVERS LICENSE WASNT ALLOWED BECAUSE i was with her. Grow up guys. You guys are not the ones here chilll.bad bad bad crew
Me and my black friend wasn't allowed just because of racism by bouncers. They were telling us they only allow whites. We were dressed. This was totally inappropriate behavior. We showed every IDs we had. The incident happened at 10.35 PM, December 7th
