I will never go back to fireside tavern. Moved here 10 years ago and went there because it was in walking distance. I'm mixed race and my friend is white. We just walked in and sat down where there was a seat. Next thing I know, for whatever reason every black person in the bar went outside at the same time and the bartender locked them out. Then a customer approached us and asked "You guys are white right?". In my head I'm thinking now is a good time to be white, so I said yeah. He responded with, "Good, next time use that door. points to door behind us The blacks use the other door. And we sit over here, they sit over there." Then he proceeded to buy us drinks. I felt awful about it, but at the same time didn't want any trouble.

What the actual fuck. It was 2013, but they were still practicing some segregation bullshit. Never went back
