This place is one of the reasons why Norman gets trashed every weekend. They serve hundreds of underage freshmen every weekend and they either know it or they don’t care. The city should shut this place down.

THIS PLACE IS RACIST!!!!!!!!!!! THE OWNER AND THEIR WORKERS ARE RACIST! IF YOU'RE NOT WHITE. DON'T GO TAKE YOUR MONEY THERE!!!!! ALL RACIST BARS SHOULD CLOSE DOWN!!!!!It was around 1am at the Porch bar (Date: 18th Aug 2023) in Norman OK on West Boyd St. I walked in after getting age verified at the door downstairs. I go to the counter and bought a cold beer. I walk towards the balcony facing the university of Oklahoma. I have come here many times before because of the nice view. It's semi-busy and no tables are empty, i spot an empty chair and 2 white girls on the other two chairs. I come meet them with a smile and politely request if i can sit on the empty chair because i would like to stare at the view and they say it's okay. We chat with the white guy on the other table who looked so young and i was like, "you look so young, you're a lucky guy to have such good genes, he laughs it off and i sit on the chair and got the 1st sip of my cold beer enjoying the view. As i was sitting there minding by business and keeping it to myself. One of the white girls says "it's a nice view right" and i said yes it is! I said how i like the university building and how beautifully gothic it was (in my head remembering my architectural summer class that i really enjoyed). The girl smiles at me and i smiled back and faced the view and continued drinking my cold beer. Minutes later the girls left. And within a few minutes a young black man (looks like in his late 20's ) with dreadlocks comes up to me and in a rough tone says, "you should move to that chair over there!" i was startled because i didn't know who he was or why he was telling me to move. I said "why?" and "who are you?" He wasn't wearing any branded uniform to identify himself as a worker for the bar. So i thought its some random guy trying to find trouble. I said, "i don't know you and who you are so i'm sorry i'm not moving anywhere. He said "i work here!" and i said, you should have started by identifying yourself brother' He left and sat at a corner. As i drunk my beer, i thought, why would he ask me to move! So i went to him and asked him politely, why he wanted me to move. He said the white girls who left called for help! From him! And i asked "to be helped with what?" And he said that the white girls felt uncomfortable around me! And i was like that's not true, the girls were nice to me and i was nice to them and we were even chatting before they left. Before you know it, this black guy calls 2 other white guys trying to throw me out. The white owner joined them cursing at me and snatching my drink throwing it and called the police!!!!!!!!This is how innocent black men are shot dead when they are innocent! Not committing any crimes and trying to enjoy a beer after a long hard day. I'm lucky these police did not pull the trigger on me! This country MUST change how black folks are treated! And those white girls unconscious bias! White non-racist parents, raise your daughters right! They are the next generation. Or they will be the next "Karen"

Take a picture of your receipt if you’re buying drinks at night. Have received overcharges on my tip amounts. Thankfully I did have pics and got my money returned.Scummy business practice.

I went here on a Saturday night for some drinks. Had a fine time but I checked my bank account and they charged me twice. Once as the original tab and once as the tab plus tip. It’s been 3 days and I have called 5 time with no answer. Will not be going again.

Owner and employees accuse and belittle customers. I saw this firsthand and immediately left. I don't want to be in an establishment that speaks to their customers in a demeaning way.

The short older bouncer with reddish hair & a beard is a d*ck. I went out for 21st birthday and he looked at my ID & told me to get out. I told him I just turned 21 a couple days ago and to check again, & then he proceeded to call me a f*cking b*tch. Major little d*ck energy. Also said some inappropriate sexual comments to my friend

They have the rudest bouncer in the world. He literally yelled old 2 adult women and kicked them out for doing absolutely nothing. Owner did not care one bit. Will never go back!
