I was let in the door with a stamp only to be denied entry. Lacking communication among staff. I think the person was threatened by me (5’10 masc denied by 5 foot masc). Can’t say for sure but I don’t have another explanation since I was let in the door and stamped just to be turned away. I’ve seen them turn away a lot of mascs it’s a trend.

This place is FANTASTIC!!! My friends and I had such an amazing time, I cannot wait to come back! The queens were incredible!!
Less than a week ago, I visited your establishment with a friend, and we encountered an issue involving one of your bartenders. The problem arose when your POS system temporarily failed. Despite this, two other customers were awaiting their drink purchases. Upon the bartender's request to swipe my friend's card for the third time, my friend expressed his discomfort, given the card had already been swiped multiple times. Reacting unprofessionally, the bartender forcefully took the drink from my friend and discarded it, accusing him of seeking a free drink. This response was both unethical and unprofessional. In such situations, seeking assistance from a supervisor would have been more appropriate.Subsequently, the bartender summoned security. We later discussed the incident with your management team, which, disappointingly, did not offer a satisfactory resolution or handle the situation any better, echoing the accusation of seeking a free drink. Rather than offering an apology or a complimentary drink as a gesture of goodwill, the situation was left unresolved. Following this, my friend reached out to the owner of the business to discuss our experience but has yet to receive a callback.This incident is particularly disheartening given my history of patronage at your establishment, which has been reputable for years. Such treatment is unacceptable, and I hope you will address this matter accordingly.

I’ve had one of the worst experiences here this past Saturday. The POS system upstairs stopped working which lead to my card being swiped multiple times. After the third time, I no longer felt comfortable with having it swiped again. The bartender then snatches my drink and calls security as if I was in the wrong for my discomfort. This has become a very hostile environment for no good reason. I then spoke to a “manager” on duty and got accused of trying to receive a free drink. I’ve been to this bar for years and have paid for every drink I’ve ever received along with additional tips. I’ve tried to contact another manager or the owner via phone and have not heard back. It is very disappointing to no longer want to return to a place I’ve had many memories and supported for over a decade.

"I visited Nellis in DC tonight around 12:40 AM, and unfortunately, I had a very disappointing and concerning encounter with the security staff. One of the security guards at the back entrance pushed me and falsely claimed that I had pushed him, which was completely untrue and unacceptable.Moreover, the demeanor of the staff at this establishment was overall unwelcoming and disrespectful. The lady at the front door displayed rudeness towards patrons, and the other security guard at the back entrance, who lied about the incident, was extremely hostile and unprofessional.As a newcomer to the area, this experience has left me feeling unsafe and unwelcome in this environment. It is crucial for establishments like this to carefully monitor their staff and ensure that they treat all patrons with respect and professionalism.I sincerely hope that management takes this feedback seriously and implements measures to improve the behavior and conduct of their security personnel. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected in public spaces, especially when dealing with individuals in positions of authority.I urge others to be cautious when visiting this location until appropriate actions are taken to address these concerning issues."-

I paid $45 for one Margarita and one Vodka Soda. This is scam - will never go there again. For this price I can go to a much nicer location.
