Hello everybody welcome back to Your Stupid Opinions.
Hey!
Hey there, thank you so much for joining us.
My name is James Petragallo, I'm here with my co-host.
I'm Jimmy Wissman.
We're excited to bring you more of the complaints from around the world and around the internet
and around everywhere here.
Once again, we'll say, as we always do, these aren't our complaints.
We didn't write any of these reviews. If we do have a review, we'll tell you as we always do, these aren't our complaints. I didn't write it. We didn't write any of these reviews.
If we do have a review, we'll tell you about it for sure.
But they'll tell you that all these places this week,
I'm 99% sure neither of us have ever been here.
So we'll talk all about that and more.
If you like the show, listen to our other two shows,
Crime in Sports and Small Town Murder,
which are exactly what they sound like.
You guessed it.
But funny.
So there you go.
Let's dive right in and see what people have going on this week.
Well, first of all, let us go out to Denver.
Yeah, it's a nice place.
We both like Denver.
We like when we go there for live shows, it's excellent.
We are gonna stay at a hotel in Denver.
Maybe this is gonna be for our next trip to Denver
for our next series of live, for our next live show there.
It is a-
Maybe this is a spot we can stay, Jimmy.
We never have. It's a ble our next live show there. It is a spot we can stay. I mean, we have a bleak town for hotels, too.
It is. It's crazy how few nice hotels.
Yeah. You've got to just eat it and spend the money.
Just take it and just fucking stay at that fucking Ritz Carlton.
They have deals sometimes. It's got John Elway steakhouse in it.
Enjoy. I stayed at a fucking old.
It's an Airbnb. Yeah, it's not good.
It's a tough town. Well tried several. It's not good.
It's a tough town.
Well this is the Holiday Chalet.
You know anything about this?
Nothing about it.
Is it a Holiday Inn?
No.
This is what Denver does.
It's an old school hotel.
It's very old.
They don't have an Holiday Inn, they have a Holiday Chalet.
They'd do much better if they were under the umbrella of the umbrella of the holiday in but this one has some great owner
Responses they are just all ruthless. So this is at 1820 East Colfax Avenue in Denver
So right down in the mix all the shit there
So, I mean, I've definitely seen the place and just never noticed it
Right as we've I walked around all around there smoking weed all the night
so Colfax is a busy street busy street a lot of
It's a this is let's wear like the bus stations nearby there right so it's a lot of
Colfax has some interesting folks
It's a colorful interesting area a full of interesting people doing interesting things life is happening
It's happening and ending on right there right before your eyes
You can see it you can see a woman give birth and then you five feet away someone get stabbed to death
So it's a great area so anyway there it is holiday chalet
This place has three point eight stars on Google and can't tell if that's good or not probably not good for a hotel
If it's not sub four sub four is not that means bugs usually if it's sub four. Yeah. Because most people, if there's no bugs...
That's what you paid for.
Yeah.
I paid for a clean bed.
And I got one.
And that's what happened.
I'm fine with it.
It's a three-star hotel.
Okay.
You know, in terms of how that goes.
You did this to yourselves.
Whew.
Check-in time is four o'clock, which is really late and annoying.
I hate that.
So anyway, here's Brandy Five Stars.
Love this historical gem. Okay. And apparently it is it's an old old place. It's definitely been there a long time
It's clean beautiful historical and affordable okay. It says on their thing
That it's a hundred and three dollars right now
Okay, so you're looking for a place. That's dangerous
That's dangerous hundred and three dollars means hundred dollar night. That's dangerous. That's dangerous
$103 means hundred dollar night. It's not not gonna be getting downtown
Downtown, maybe out by the airport hundred dollars and not downtown Kansas. Oh, that's pretty nice out there We're probably more expensive out there at the airport. I'll bet it is because there's fucking nothing else out there
There's middle of goddamn nowhere. Yeah. So you want a bed out here?
It's gonna cost you.
I would think it'd be cheap.
So it's clean, it's beautiful and affordable.
Super nice and very helpful staff.
Personally helps to guide you through the phone
or messaging with any questions you may have
regarding check-in, access policies, et cetera.
Love that.
Got a text concierge, that's nice.
Two exclamation points, that's always nice, okay.
And hotel highlights, she put romantic.
Great, romantic.
I fucked here.
That's what that means.
My fluids are on the comforter.
My DNA's in this house.
Bring a black light, everybody, that's what that means.
Next up, one star from Florian.
Very bad location because of the junkies and crackheads all around.
Welcome.
The fucked up part is though, if you stay at the Ritz-Carlton, it's still junkies and
crackheads all around.
It's still, they can't, yeah, that's just the area.
Literally had I passed out homeless guy blocking the door one evening of my stay.
Of the room or the hotel?
I picture him on the automatic door and it's just opening and closing every once in a while.
He's just sleeping on it, just keeps opening every time.
Already got up the stairwell into your place and just laying against your door.
That's no good.
That's even worse.
Actually, they start harassing, oh sorry, I was harassed by them every night and felt
unsafe.
Actually, they start harassing people every day from around 10 a.m. so not only an issue
at night.
The building itself is in a relatively bad shape.
The window seals were broken a bit in my room.
It was too cold in the night because of that.
Denver, Aragon in there.
Room was dirty.
Literally had a condom wrapper lying on the nightstand.
Oh, there's a used condom somewhere else.
That's what that tells me.
They didn't even put that up. Where's the rest of it? Where is the rest of it? Oh god? It's in the bed
from inside the house
If they didn't they didn't even clean the night
It's sitting on the nightstand probably took like a $2 tip from under the condom wrap. Yeah left the condom wrapper there
Jesus textiles were clean enough though Took like a $2 tip from under the condom wrapper and then left the condom wrapper there. Jesus.
Textiles were clean enough though.
I've never heard of bedding referred to as textiles.
Like towels and bedding.
Have you ever heard that referred to as textiles
outside of an industrial setting?
I don't really care about that.
You should, it's clean.
I mean, there is a condom somewhere though.
Maybe that's part of the fun.
It's find the sack of jizz in here somewhere.
Find the actual scumbag.
Yeah, find it.
Oh gross.
It was also connected to the room next door through a locked door so you could hear every
word your neighbor was saying.
That's a lot of hotels about that.
Maybe it's over there.
Maybe the scumbag's over there.
Some coffee was available which which was not bad,
so I guess that's that.
I guess okay to book if you expect some Airbnb-style room
in a house, but it's not a hotel,
and obviously not three stars.
Check-in was flawless.
No room service for seven days.
Maybe you can request that, but I was in Denver to work
and not really, and not care about my hotel room.
You seem to care about it a lot.
Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
Maybe you don't care.
You stayed in a room with a used rubber wrapper in there.
You suck around.
I think that's time to leave.
I understand it's not purely the owner's fault.
Who the fuck else is responsible for the maintenance
and cleanliness of the rooms?
Who are you talking about?
But one of the worst days I've ever had anywhere,
probably the worst from a've ever had anywhere,
probably the worst from a security perspective,
and I've visited a lot of third world countries.
Denver is the-
No, it's not.
I'll tell you, I walk around that area
at two o'clock in the fucking morning and it's fine.
Denver's fine.
It's fine.
Just like every other city, everyone's afraid,
it's fine.
Yeah, there's this condom round.
If someone yells something you ignore them
All these people just need like a week in Manhattan and then they go
Oh, that's how you deal is ignore someone when they're yelling and they forget about move on to the next person
So worst mistake was staying here for a full week a week of that whole fucking week outside
It says a holiday chalet a Victorian hotel
And there's pictures from the window of
Assembled looks like looks like a homeless barbecue. Just like a just out on the street
I'm having a street party out there from the window, which is a nice view next up Ted with one star
Worst experience I've ever had ever ever ever Wow, that's great. You got raped and murdered in there. So your kids got kidnapped. It's horrifying
We have never left a hotel from feeling unsafe and I have stayed at some pretty seedy motels
He didn't even stay why why are you staying at all?
Some really bad pieces of shit, you know what that tells me? Yeah, I can't afford vacation
Yeah, if the only way I can go on vacation is if I stay in a terrifying hotel
I'm saving up till and going next year and go stay at somewhere at these I guys stay in bottom rung hotels all over this country
I've never walked out of one before really
Wow, how do you do that?
There were people screaming and slamming doors all night
One of the doors is only locked by a sliding,
by sliding furniture in front of the door.
That's not a lock.
That's not a lock. No.
It's a couch in front of a door.
That's a barricade.
I mean, you could hear him trying to get through it,
I'm sure, it'll wake you up enough.
Smoke detectors were blocked.
What the hell does that mean?
I don't know how you block a smoke detector
and it's stank of cigarettes.
Okay, well now you know why.
That's why. Jesus.
There you go.
The front door never worked and then the front desk
would yell at us for breaking it every time we tried to open.
Hey, don't break our door.
He broke the door every day?
Maybe he did not open it.
I demanded a refund and have still not received one.
Yeah, you're not getting one.
That's what they do there.
No, they're using it to fix the door.
They're not horrified of your experience.
They're like, yep. They're horrified of you for breaking the door every day. That's what they do there. No, they're using it to fix the door. They're not horrified of your experience. They're like, yup.
They're horrified of you for breaking the door every day.
That's what we do.
Do not stay here.
What a waste of a beautiful building
to be run by a bunch of tweakers.
Wow, a bunch of tweakers.
Several.
Wow, that's one.
A team, staff.
That's what you gotta do.
You gotta team, you gotta staff it with everybody.
The maids are particularly good if they're tweaking. They work fast.
They miss rubbers.
They're working fast. That's what you want. Doesn't matter.
Sometimes a condom rapper has to go by the wayside.
You're thankful it was only the rapper.
That's all. Like I said, he never mentioned he found the condoms.
Good for you, sir.
Lady gives one star.
So I had a reservation from August 27th toust 27th august 29th. Yeah check-in was okay
August 28th at 11 35 p.m. I awoke to strangers standing over my bed nope
How she got that she didn't realize that the chair was the lock what yeah?
She didn't realize it to slide the couch right she's like, oh, I did the actual lock.
That doesn't work.
We all know that.
Asking me why I was in the room
and that I didn't have a reservation.
Is it front desk?
What?
What's going on?
Why am I here then?
Because I have a key.
What are we talking about?
My toothbrush is in there.
Made my booking through Agoda.
I don't know what that is.
I booked a suite.
These folks made me leave the reservation I paid for and put me in a smaller room
on the third floor. They rousted her from bed.
This isn't your room.
Holy shit. Excuse me.
You're in the wrong room.
Sleep in your eyes as you're carrying your luggage. And did I bring my toothbrush?
Like that is horrifying.
We need you to move.
Whoa. Jesus. I booked a suite on the first floor, went downstairs to get my belongings.
This morning as I'm trying to go get something to eat, noticed my debit card was missing.
Oh no.
I had it in my wallet.
So they went through my things while I was collecting the rest of my stuff.
And took her debit card.
And took her debit card.
Do not trust this hotel all of the people that work for the property are seeing it on drugs
That's a weird sentence are seeing it on drugs very sketchy
Don't risk having to go through what I went through just find another place to stay. That's an interesting
Perspective and experience if that's true. that's a terrible side of the story.
Well, the owner has a response to it.
Oh good, you have to, for those accusations.
That's, we busted in her room and
Stole her shit.
Dragged her off in the night like a fucking,
like a death squad.
We woke her and robbed her.
Yeah, Jesus Christ, that is a lot.
That's a home invasion is what they did.
That's called a home invasion, but they moved you somewhere else, too
So response from the owner this comment is absolutely absurd
Yeah
This woman knew she was to leave the hotel at 10 a.m.
On the morning of the 28th yet decided not to leave the hotel and stayed in the room
But that was 12 hours before that you couldn't figure that out in 12 hours.
You had to wait till she was sleeping.
You went in the room?
What the fuck?
Hotel staff knocked on the door of the hotel room
and kindly asked her to show the itinerary.
She hesitated to show the itinerary,
but when she finally did, it was proof
she did not have a reservation for that evening.
And the evening she booked was for the following night.
So it's obviously a fucking mistake.
Yeah.
What did she think?
They think she's gonna stay there for two nights, leave and then come back for another
night.
When they sounds like your your third party app probably fucked up.
And during check in, they didn't go, hey, we have you here for two nights and then you're
coming back.
Is that do you want?
Is that a mistake that you made?
I'm sure those sites do that something. What the fuck is wrong with these people? Okay, that's that's
That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. No, she was booked for the 27th through the 29th
She they thought that she would want the 27th and the 29th only on the 28th
She's gonna go wander around just sleep in the streets and call Colfax, okay. Then be super happy she's got a room the next night.
Yeah, they got for this room.
Holy shit.
So they go on to say that,
proof for the reservation,
we spoke with her kindly and she agreed
that she would move to a different room
as it was the only room available for the night.
Well, the room she was in was available
because she was in it, no one else was there.
Nobody touched her belongings and we hope that when she finds her card that she apologizes
and updates a more honest review.
When the guest was settled in her room, she was extremely nice and everything seemed great.
For this review to be left in this manner is completely unexpected.
Also to make accusations that there are people on drugs is extremely uncalled for and if
that was what the guest was thinking about the
staff then why was she so friendly and everything seemed great when she departed.
Well because she's scared.
Terrified when you're in a room in the middle of the night.
You woke her up man.
Jesus sounds like a case of someone wanting a refund because they ran out of money.
Jesus Christ.
You can't afford to stay in this piece of shit.
Speaking of wild accusations that are extremely uncalled for,
holy shit, you broke, bitch.
Hello, pot.
Whoa.
This is unnecessary and cruel.
Yeah, that was unnecessary and cruel.
And we hope that the guest finds it in her heart
to reevaluate this review and rewrite a more honest review,
find it in her heart.
We, as a staff at the Holiday Chaletalet are extremely disappointed in the outcome of the situation.
We are extremely accommodating and the guest even thanked us for being accommodating.
We go out of our way for our guests and we love what we do and we love the hotel very
much.
We put everything we have into this place and would never treat a guest like this.
Okay.
Knowing the reputation the Holiday Inn has.
Yeah, this isn't even that.
Why would you call your place anything holiday?
I think this has been around longer than the Holiday Inn.
The Holiday Inns were from the 50s.
They started in the 50s,
so if this place has been around for 80 years,
it's older than the Holiday Inn.
And the Holiday Inns trying to rebrand too
with that Holiday Inn Express.
Yeah, yeah.
They're trying to make it like.
Big H.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on, come on guys, we know what you are.
Yeah, you're, I'm too tired to drive anymore. That's that's what you're this is it
And this this chick said 50 bucks. That's what you're there for
And you know it
Okay, the the no part of the no vacancy sign was blacked out
We're here all vacancy, baby. We're here because there's a room open.
Rosie gives one star.
This is not a B and B.
This is a brothel and a drag den.
Or drug, not drag, drug.
Drug to drug den.
I was like, drag den.
Drug den brothel.
Everyone's fabulous around here.
You walk around and, no, it's drug den drug dead heads of brothel and they're all dudes
And all high dudes, no fuck you though the fucking good
There were four beds in our room
Yeah, or beds why which in our room that distinctly gave the feeling of an insane asylum
Hostile a fucking prison,
a work camp of some kind.
Four beds and no TV. Wow.
It was dirty and had spiders on the walls.
The dirty bedding and dirty bedding and towels.
I went in the room and went right back out again.
Those Denver spiders or something else too. They're there.
They find their way into everywhere and they make little black webs.
They're horrified. I don't like any spiders.-legged things to they're really scary. I don't like any Western spiders They're all weird fucking Denver spiders. They're all lanky. I don't like them. This is a good place if you want bed bugs or crabs
Or something more sinister
Or something more sinister
Then fucking VD what is worse
Itchy dicks then tiny little fucking organisms tiny bugs in your crotch
Living in your balls. That's what's worse than that. I need few bugs and then my favorite do not recommend From the think we understood that. Is that right? Really?
From the one star in the restaurant,
I wasn't getting it.
Denver spiders and crabs.
Got it, you probably don't recommend it.
Response from the owner.
Oh really?
And it's lovely.
Itchy crotch himself.
This guest is upset because she got caught cheating
in the hotel room.
Ah!
Yeah baby.
They're airing dirty laundry.
You mother fucker, you want to talk some shit?
You want to fly the flag?
I'll fly it, motherfucker.
What's up?
She got crabs because she's cheating on her husband.
Cheating ass crab-ridden bitch.
She got crabs because she's fucking everybody.
Cheating.
Oh, man. This is ridiculous, they go on fucking everybody. Oh man.
This is ridiculous, they go on to say.
Oh they got more to say?
This is ridiculous.
Read other reviews.
Oh we are.
They're funny.
They're hilarious.
You could have stopped it.
You guys, she was cheating.
That's why she...
It gets better.
The cleanliness of our hotel is something we definitely take pride in.
This review should not be posted as it sounds like a child wrote it
Okay, also making fun of her grammar. Yeah. All right, Isabelle one star. They could have just stopped
Come on guys. Yeah take nothing of what she says. Don't listen to the skank. She's a liar ask her husband
One star from Isab, don't stay here.
One, and they have a number of things.
There was a person shooting up drugs at the front door.
That seems to be common.
It's not going to be broccoli he's shooting up.
It's probably going to be drugs I'd imagine.
Mainlining asparagus.
I need that stinky pee.
Give it to me.
If you get real stinky pee when you shoot it.
It's concentrated.
You smoke it, it's fine, but you shoot it, man, your pee is green.
Steamy shower.
Number two, another homeless person inside our room on our bed when we arrived.
How?
Howdy folks.
Kick back with like a bindle over him.
Welcome!
They're keeping it warm for you.
Getting a can of beans.
Little fire in the foot of the bed.
Absolutely horrible.
Well yeah, we left immediately.
You're going to share it with the guy?
Business has been unresponsive.
We booked a room.
There was a homeless man in the room,
worst week of our lives.
Yeah.
Yeah.
By the end of the night, we found out he wasn't a bad guy,
but still we had to share it with a stranger,
and that's my response from the owner.
We have never heard anything about this to this day.
Only you've heard about it now, it's not here.
To this day.
For must you've heard about it.
We ask that you at least call and inform us of this,
and here we are a month later
and still have not ever heard anything about this.
I think this is her way of telling you.
Yeah, you're learning.
But you probably, I'd go downstairs and go,
oh my God, there's a guy in our room.
The room you gave me, somebody's there.
Whoa, then one star, avoid this place is the title.
I booked this place through book.com,
which gave a decent rating and had pictures that were completely deceiving
It was completely run down windows that wouldn't close no screens on the windows bugs inside
Crud on the throw carpet that's not crud crud. That's something else run. No soap in the bathroom
I got stung by a wasp
It's in a crack neighborhood
homeless out front
Yawking, I guess talking and playing but there's an L. It's talking. It's yawking
Yeah, you're yawking it up out there boy and playing boombox at four in the morning. What? So now it's 1983 also.
You got batteries?
Who's got to fucking, I mean they can afford eight decels?
That's not a homeless person.
That's like fucking 60 bucks worth of batteries they're
burning out there.
That's just turbo and ozone raising money for the dance
center.
That's it.
I mean go down there and challenge them if you don't like
it.
See if you can break like they can break motherfucker.
What's up?
Bring a refrigerator box and show them how it's done. box throw it down and start spinning bitch what's up get on
your head oh my god this is crazy no dead belt on the door etc etc they got that room
too i think you get my point yeah i said i think it's probably most of them if i had
paid 25 dollars i wouldn't write a word but by the time I paid taxes and fees it was
$209 no $200 that's crazy you stay at a nice hotel decent yeah for sure they said that Ritz-Carlton
I've stayed there for $300 yeah you know what I mean so not bad places down there it's right there

Dude pony up do we do it? Do yourself a favor have some self-respect fuck. Yeah, give me a motel six any day
He says yeah
Kate one star literally got my jewelry stolen

Randy Saw the quote owner Randy or hotel manager selling crack Randy Randy are you selling crack in the lobby?

New towels a gram. What do you need new towels? What do you need? New towels, a gram, what do you need?
You need a ten dollar rock?
What are you looking for?
Selling crack?
She tried to sell it to my boyfriend.
Oh, Randy's a lady.
That also means that your boyfriend looks like a guy who buys crack.
No one tries to sell me crack.
Anybody try to sell you crack recently?
No.
No.
You know why?
Don't look like I smoke crack. Also, I'm smoking weed at the time. the time yeah no one like you but a guy did try to sell me ck1

Yeah, anything you want knockoff smells like wow she tried selling it to my boyfriend

That ain't it. That's not that no avoid it at all cost just report it to the Better Business Bureau. Oh
Well call the fucking FBI
Yeah, I don't know who you're calling.
Somebody. Then it says or mind your own fucking business and go to another
hotel. Don't say that. They have a little ecosystem going on. It's working for
them. That's what I go. This place isn't for me. This isn't my business.
This isn't my aquarium. Swim somewhere else. Under safety they put bum sleep here,
meth heads, be prepared and don't bring any valuables
It feels like she doesn't know what drugs look like no no she's guessing fentanyl well if they tried to sell the boyfriend crack
Yeah, that's I mean she got us. There's a whole sales pitch crack
Whole sales pitch there. Oh my god this person is no reply no reply to that
Oh, which is I'm shocked about that
It was a couple months ago. There's a wild accusation Randy. They're quarterlies
I don't know one star from John. Okay, first off the staff is super friendly helpful and wonderful. Yeah, they'll sell you crack
That's right. That's helpful
However, no matter how great they are
It can't fix the major issues with the hotel itself.
For starters, the place looks like it's an abandoned building.
There's foot tall weeds, trash and debris outside everywhere and the terrace area is totally
useless as it's just weeds and trash.
Very nice.
It's also in a sketchy part of town, but that's nothing to do with the hotel and I don't fault
them for that.
You can't control the outside.
It was once a grand place I'm sure but
now it's a threadbare rundown an unsafe wreck of a place. The rooms lack basic
fire safety no smoke detectors or sprinklers that's reassuring blocked
blocked up electrical systems are ancient undergrounded two-prong complete
with broken off ground pins for the microwave and mini fridge that is so
bad you need you can't need, you should have.
You can't keep those.
You should have all the sprinklers.
Yeah.
Like so many sprinklers.
Two prong electric outlets.
Holy.
And no sprinklers?
That is, and no smoke detectors.
How does that even get through?
I don't know.
Everything's sort of cobbled together.
Furniture is thrift store junk
and they pretty much just painted over stuff sloppily
without ever restoring anything.
Most of the windows in the rooms don't open due to settling. Bed was stiff and uncomfortable. and they pretty much just painted over stuff sloppily without ever restoring anything.
Most of the windows in the rooms don't open due to settling, bed was stiff and uncomfortable,
towels were mismatched cheap junk.
No little logo.
These aren't that's so you don't steal them.
No one steal those towels.
Homeless regularly sleep on the grass weeds out front and without any staff on site, nobody
seems to care.
The whole place is run as a total absentee landlord
type of place, and it's clear they don't want to put
a dime into the operation or building it all,
which is a shame.
Ah.
Unbelievable.
Said it's more like a halfway house or a homeless shelter.
Left and right and uppercut, take that.
Boom, boom, and boom.
Um, Haley, one star.
Bed was made but clearly had been laid on.
Oh boy.
Made to caress after.
There's a body on it, body print.
It was a homeless guy, goes from room to room.
At least he wasn't in the bed when you got there.
He's a real Goldilocks.
Oof.
Room was clean enough,
but the hallway stank of cigarettes,
especially on the third floor.
I ended up canceling the rest of my stay
when upon returning from breakfast,
I found a staff member, unequipped with any supplies,
so not a maid, rummaging through my jewelry.
Oh, Jesus.
No refund was issued.
It's a seedy hotel in a shady neighborhood.
Response from the owner.
Oh, really?
Yeah, he responds to accusations of stealing,
but nothing else.
Nothing else.
We do not have you as a guest ever in our records
Please call the hotel and allow us to understand when this may have happened
There have been many times that our hotel is mistaken for another hotel with a similar name the Holiday Inn
The situation has never been brought to management's attention. We believe you may have the wrong hotel. Please call us
Yeah, that's one way to go.
I think it's the wrong hotel, probably.
There's another holiday something that's cracking.
You didn't even mention crack.
Most people mention the like used condoms and things.
Crack sales.
Crack sales.
Were you offered crack at check-in though?
If not, then you were not here.
Then you do deserve to leave a one star because we offer everybody crack at check-in.
DoubleTree gives you cookies,
we offer to sell you a dime bag of crack.
Okay.
ERL gives one star.
It was a terrible place to stay.
We left.
This is a good start.
Room smelled like bacon, fat, and weed.
Someone was having a party in there.
That's not bad. Smoking weed, eating bacon. Start room smelled like bacon fat and weed someone was having a party in there. Yes
Smoking weed bacon awesome
Questionable people out front. It's a nice way to put it. Yeah terrible communication save yourself and stay in an actual chain hotel
Don't do that either response from the owner. Yeah. Thank you for taking the time to review
How would you know it's a terrible place if you didn't stay?
Well, they walked in, they said.
They said this guest wanted the manager to stop in the middle of a phone call with a guest and speak to her instead of wait in her turn.
There are homeless people in Denver as in any other large city, but does, but,
but any other large city does,
but apparently this guest expects there to not be anywhere anywhere she travels.
It's too bad that she reported to the manager
that she didn't go into a room at all
because of the outside people.
And now as she was reporting
what the room supposedly smelled like.
It's okay for a place not to be your cup of tea
but it's not okay to make up information with ill intent.
Simply carry on and let the next guests form
their review and opinion, especially if you didn't stay.
There are hundreds of people who love our hotel. And so do we.
A lot of people saying it smells like weed in there.
It's Denver.
It's Denver, yeah. It's gonna smell like weed in there.
Nick, one star. Hotel was okay. First floor smelled like weed in the morning.
At night you absolutely have to have the air conditioner on full blast to drown out the sound of the ghetto. It's not the ghetto. It's downtown
There was also a drug addict at the gas station across the street screaming for hours and talking to someone who wasn't there
That is not the hotel's fault
That's gonna shoot him out of there complain about I don't know nature complain. He was loitering
out of there complain about I don't know nature complain like he was loitering exactly overall bad steer clear also this is the first hotel I've called where
the person answers the phone and just says hello you would have no clue you're
calling a hotel I live here sorry and then finally this is my favorite Andy one
star dirty rooms no service no parking loud area whole first floor smells like weed
Nothing good to say about this place came for an anniversary and seriously not coming back
Holy this is where you picked for your anniversary. You took your gal. You deserve whatever you said, baby
We're not even gonna we're gonna fuck up a hotel tonight. Let's get crabs together
Crab's and crack. Let's go. If we're looking
for a third, there's a guy in some of these rooms. You never know. Happy anniversary baby.
Happy anniversary. Here's a bag of crack, a homeless guy. And a guy to watch. Shitty
hotel room. He's going to film it for us. Hand him your phone. I told him he could whack
it if he wants to. I mean, I'm not going to get involved in his business. Next up, let's
go to the mall. Alright. Let's go. I love Next up, let's go to the mall. All right. Let's go, get out of here.
I love the mall.
Let's go to the mall.
It's fun to walk around and look at shit.
Well, we're going to the Crystal Mall.
This is in 4500 Kingsway, Burnaby, British Columbia.
Canadian mall.
Yeah, going up there.
It's described on Google as vibrant mall
with a traditional Chinese market,
a large Asian food court court and local shops and services
So it's like an Asian. He does it different. Well BC of the West Coast
Yeah, you know, I'm sure Seattle has stuff like this too. And you know, whatever
I've never seen a mall that has a specific like ethnic area
No, no, I don't know if it's like so much a mall then it looks like a mall inside though
Hosea gives five stars. The Crystal Palace is truly an ideal place
for daily grocery shopping,
offering a wide selection of fresh produce,
meats and other ingredients at affordable prices.
The quality is excellent and everything is fresh.
The upstairs food court is perfect for a quick meal
with a variety of Asian cuisines to choose from.
The plaza also features a range of convenience stores.
Oh, there's a stereotype joke
and they're waiting to be fucking made.
You guys, all the pieces are there,
you can put it together.
Yourselves, it's a assemble at home joke.
You don't need to make it.
A range of convenience stores,
telecom providers and various small shops
that cater to everyday needs.
It's a fantastic spot, especially for those
with an Asian, particularly Chinese background,
highly recommended for all your household essentials.
This is a fascinating place.
Yeah, it's why there's a lot of grocery.
By the way, malls are used in different ways than we do.
Yeah, clearly.
Like a suburban mall, anchored with a JCPenney
and a fucking Filene's or some shit, yeah.
Whatever the fuck.
So I think a mall just means any place that has a bunch of stores in one place.
And it's downstairs upstairs.
Yeah, yeah, downstairs, upstairs.
Here's Linda, five stars.
Good spot for cheap and delicious meals in the food court.
Many shops for grocery shopping, and some shops look popular with the locals.
There were lineups at the hair salon and it's very affordable.
Okay.
Wow.
So there we go.
Um, three stars from Frank, hard to find parking at lunchtime.
Yeah.
That means it's popular.
Yeah.
Lots of food choices, but the quality of food is hit and miss depending on which stall you
visit.
Also had hard, also hard to find seating at lunchtime again busy the
best what are you doing yeah the best thing about Crystal Mall is you can eat
and shop in a market downstairs yeah okay 6 p.m. is hard to find a table at
dinner that's right that right Frank go to the outback mind-blowing Friday night
yeah Edel or Edel three stars lots of choices for getting an affordable
haircut oh okay a lot of food and hair mixed together in here flying around the food court also offers a lot of dining options that are priced
reasonably, right
Okay, Francisco three stars. I went to get my phone fixed
This is the most stereotypical place ever and it worked for a few hours and they came back with faults
I don't know what that means
I spoke to the person and he said that would be that way
and that was the best thing he could do.
And I only, I did the best thing.
Yeah, I crossed some wires, I don't know man.
I made it work for a minute.
Maybe I could show you what to do, you could fix it.
And I only went to change the screen
and I found out that they had removed many original parts
that they shouldn't have and it wasn't as cheap as I thought but this
Is the experience with one store?
I don't know about the others if you went and have something good to recommend, please tell me
Okay, tell me how they fixed your phone Lee tin is one star
We bought some meat at a shop near the good neighborhood supermarket. That's you know, that's gonna be rough one star and we bought some meat at a shop near the Good Neighborhood supermarket. That's, you know, that's going to be one star and we bought some meat.
What was living in it?
The one near the entrance of the market.
And there was a guy who worked there at the meat shop who gave us less change
returning us dollars instead of Canadian. Oh, they're worth more. Um,
it seemed like he was trying to scam us. When we went back to address it,
the guy said said why not?
And he acted dismissively
If they're good, it's the same amount. They owed you three bucks. They gave you three American dollars
That's like on top. It's like 77 cents to the dollar
So you that you ended up with like an extra fucking 75 cents that tried to scam me. Why not? Why not?
And he acted dismissively which was frustrating and unprofessional
Yeah, be careful when paying to ensure you receive the correct amount in the right currency
Oh, so he thinks he got scammed, but he still got the meat. He's still got meat and change. All right, but it's a scam
All right. I'm very confused. Okay, Jonathan one star. Yeah, this mall is ghetto and depressing. Okay
All the stores are behind glass and have its own front door making it very uninviting.
Well that's how malls work.
Plus if there's food in there you have to do that because you can't have hair from the salon blowing around with food.
You can't have outdoor air coming into the...
Yeah.
I mean that's just...
But every store in the mall has its own fucking door.
No, most of the malls it's just a big open hole.
Is it?
Stores and malls.
It's a big open hole.
But they have doors.
They just happen to be open usually.
Well, then they have the big pull down thing.
But it's like a chain thing and they pull it back up.
And once it's open, it's open.
There's no like glass in a door you walk in most mall stores.
I don't know.
Some of them actually have doors.
They just happen to be open.
I don't know.
Yeah, I guess if that's the design of the store
Yeah, that's just like if that's how they do their storefront like one of those what's the fucking Apple one has doors?
That's go to the side. Yeah, it's like a bunch of when you're stealing you can't run right out
That's literally why they just lock them. They all slam exactly. Yeah. Yeah, whereas if it's you know a food market
Maybe you don't have quite that kind of security
So the the not sure why Asian malls are so keen on this style of down
That's common the circular parkade below is the worst design ever who thought this was a good idea
Direction is one way and impossible to pass must always wait for the car to leave their spot and then wait for the car
In front of you to park. Stupid.
That's how all malls are.
I think that's just normal, yeah.
Mayank, Mayank, one star.
What a miserable place.
Food court doesn't take anything but cash.
Okay, they're skirting taxes, man.
That's the cash business.
Go to a lot of pizza places around here.
They charge you less if you pay cash.
Really?
They're like, yeah, we are not reporting this to anybody.
We're not talking about this to anybody. They literally, they'll do that. If it's like 15 bucks, they'll go, charge you less if you pay cash really like yeah we are not reporting this we're not talking about this
anybody they literally they'll do that if it's like 15 bucks they have 14 if it's cash
Okay
Some take debit is if they are in the mood and the food tastes horrible
Ordered three spring rolls at Nathan Road Cafe sounds very Asian
Yeah, that's very authentic had to wait over 30 minutes to receive what tasted like McDonald's apple pie fritter fried with cabbage into a spring
Roll who puts this much cinnamon into a savory roll with dim sum. Oh, that's all I would have spit it out
Yeah, this isn't it. I didn't expect cinnamon you missed
Philip one star food was good as for the rest should go in negative stars if I could give negative stars. I would smells weird
Extremely dirty also shit. You're not used to yeah extremely dirty food court was not renovated since
the 18th century
That's the 1700s
There was no food courts in BC in the 1700s
Since George Washington breathed air.
Napoleon came through here and then they renovated it.
I can smell him.
That's how this worked.
Wow. Oh, by the way, apparently it's normal to put business hours 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and be closed
90% of the mall before 8 p.m.
Okay.
Who knows?
The mall's open, not the stores.
Oh yeah, the stores can
go whatever. Luke, one star, we got hit! Oh! Exclamation point. The grocery cashier actually
slapped our hand. Awesome. Don't touch that. Don't touch it, pow. Not only was she extremely
rude but she was physically hitting us. You mentioned that. Yeah. Being yelled at for
carrying too many groceries is already enough
But physically hurting others is unacceptable just treats everybody like she's an angry mother horrible place
I can't believe I used to shop here as a kid this might be the dirtiest unclean mall
I've ever seen in my life the people are rude the staff is rude and even the shoppers are rude
Yeah, I remember being yelled at by a store in the food court for asking for a napkin.
She said if you are not a customer then go away. Take her napkins. I have to admit sadly
the price is cheap here and the food is good but that is all. Alright Surrey one star.
Filthy disgusting and the stench makes you want to puke. Wow run down dilapidated mall
and it's food court. I guess the Chinese people are so at home with the stench that you want to puke. Wow, run down dilapidated mall and its food court.
I guess the Chinese people are so at home with the stench that they don't even realize
how filthy the food court and surroundings are.
Maybe smell reminds them of their home country.
The racism.
That's deep.
That's a person who shouldn't go to a place like this.
If you hate Chinese people, don't go to the Chinese mall, stupid.
Stay away from this filth food court if you have some class.
Jesus Christ.
Rosita One Star, terrible shopping experience.
The cashier was very rude and aggressive.
Don't touch her shit.
But what's the number one complaint?
I'm not doing it.
That's what I'm saying.
So they're all saying, it's crazy.
It would be like if they went in this chicken joint and the man's penis was so big it was
really, we get what you're saying.
I can see it through his pleated pants.
Halfway down his legs.
I can still see it.
It was pushing.
So he said, we tried to explain we had enough change to pay for the groceries, but the cashier
didn't listen.
Hurry up and buy.
That's what they were saying.
I'm waiting for a Miso Horny reference in here anyway, so these people are really getting
mad.
God damn it.
Instead she took the note from our hand abruptly then threw the change at us.
Didn't expect a super friendly service.
You know, Asians and all I guess they're saying.
What the fuck?
I thought Canadian people were nice.
No, well not these people, not that the Chinese mall, but please show some respect.
This is someone, by the way, with an Asian last name on the review too, and a picture of an Asian lady. So I don't know if she's just self-loathing or what here.
Donkey gives one star.
Very filthy and unclean place.
Flies fly everywhere around.
Well, that's what they do.
That's what they do.
Flies fly everywhere around. That's what they do.
That's what they do.
Parking is a mess and a disaster,
particularly on weekends,
and as is so cramped,
I would advise anyone that drives larger vehicles
to not park in the mall's parking lot.
People who shop there have bad breath.
Ha ha ha ha!
I don't know why that just hit me so out of left field.
People who shop there have bad breath.
It's hard to park my giant truck and the people have bad breath.
Stinky breath and usually would bump into you without ever saying excuse you, excuse
me.
That's how it's done.
Well they don't want to talk because they've got shit in their breath.
If they said excuse me you'd be complaining.
However, produce and certain other products are cheap, though.
Everyone's like, I mean, if you can mire, wade through the mire.
I got my cabbage for nothing.
Oh my god, man.
This is, here's security they're talking about here.
A PIGFA.
Oh no, that's a weird name. Okay, no security department
I shop at this mall often and I would usually walk past the security office more often than not
I'd see the security chief see sitting in his chair relaxing either reading a newspaper or doing nothing
That's what they do. There's a problem in the past few weeks. I've seen some garbage sitting in the pedestrian area
They mean people yeah garbage people. That pedestrian area. They mean people? Yeah.
Garbage people?
That's not the security guy's problem.
Yeah.
Today I decided to bring this to the attention of the security office.
I pointed this out to the security chief, nonchalantly said, that's not my concern.
Yeah, it's not my job.
He's not the janitor.
He's the security chief.
Guess who doesn't sweep?
Hey janitor, catch that guy he's stealing.
Hey, my fucking job is you sweep.
What he meant was he didn't want to leave
his comfortable chair and do his duty.
It's not his duty.
It's his job.
So the garbage will continue to sit there
for as long as who knows how long.
As long as the janitor doesn't clean it,
it's gonna sit there.
I just had to laugh.
Okay, good.
All right.
Laugh it up.
Mackenzie, one star, it's dirty and small. It's hardly feels like a mall
Okay, if you've been here, you know what I mean
Yeah, most of the stores seem too shady to walk into I'm trying to sell you a mogwai's and shit in there. You know, I mean
Those turn into gremlins, I don't know a lot of old artifacts things like that
Most of the stores seem too shady.
The bottom floor looks like a street market.
I think that's what they're going for.
The poor lighting all around the building.
It feels like I'm back in China.
The pictures of an extremely white girl, by the way.
Maybe she just visited.
From when she was back there.
Back there doing something.
James, one star, if you drive a Mercedes and think and like
thinks flopping around your dashboard and eat noodles that are fish flavored

You are not expressing yourself. Well James. I'm sorry know what's happening. Eating noodles and fish too. You are not expressing yourself well James, I'm sorry. Chasing the fish on your dash. Jerry one star, parking
is the stuff of nightmares where every negative Asian driving stereotype comes to life. I'm
parking outside and walking in, never parking here again. Somebody bounced off his car a lot. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
One star, beware to loose item.
I bought a steamer no one bring to lost and found
or return it to me when they saw me, I left it.
Chinese doesn't care.
Okay.
You sat a steamer down and walked away from it
and forgot that you didn't have it?
And apparently Chinese doesn't care.
Yeah, no.
Chinese doesn't care.
It just doesn't care.
That's very sad.
Chinese doesn't care.
Corey, one star, sitting in a bathroom stall
just a second ago by the food court
and the largest cockroach I've ever seen
scurries across the floor in front of me
like nickel size almost.'s not very very small also
You haven't been around anywhere. That's where they belong that I'd rather have them there
But if they're probably just like if the kitchens too crowded. I think they're saying
Akshay one star stinking place that's a sentence stinking place not worth entering
I entered the washroom to take a pee and it was awfully dirty.
That's where you pee. I would never go here. I would never go pee where it's gross. Yeah, that's your pee on it.
Thomas, one star.
Dante's levels of hell are really just levels of crystal malls parquet.
The parking spot again. This place terrible to park at apparently.
Seems like you gotta park outside, go in,
know what you're going there for,
and get the fuck out apparently.
Find the ring of hell you're comfortable with
in the parking lot.
All this filth that's been going on.
I need a drink.
I need a drink.
We're getting drinks.
I'm gonna pour it all over me, I'm filthy.

Yeah, and I was a popular figure
I don't they just couldn't but everybody was real nice though
Yeah, gay guys love a straight guy in their environment and they will treat you like a prince
They were very nice. Everybody was cool. And I was like ace, you know straight and they were like, alright
They're like, that's good. They're pretty graded.
Well, I was with a gay with bad gaydar is not a good gay.
I was with a group of gay guys. Okay.
Cause they were the two gay guys and their friends and me.
You're just the most masculine gay.
I don't know. But their friends would be like, now he likes me.
And they'd be like, oh, okay. And they'd walk away. That was it.
But like my friends were like, man, no, wrong drink.

Located in a hotel the Mary Jean hotel, okay? Okay? Let's see here. Here's five stars
It is this is the best gay spot in the Tampa region
Really it is located in a great spot to be able to bar hop even though you will end up back here. Oh it's like gay cheers. Bounce around and come on back.
This place was not only fun but having the hotel connected is very convenient.
Oh yes it is. They have a great bartender named Christy. You can't miss her she has
awesome colorful hair. She makes an amazing spicy margarita. Yeah. Regular
tequila not give you enough
heartburn? Let's put something else in there for you. I recommend this spot to any person
who wants to have a good time.
It's like six or eight shakes of Tabasco in that motherfucker.
Yeah, that's enough.
A spicy one. Wait, it's a spicy margarita?
Margarita.
Oh yeah, so that's just extra tequila.
Yeah, that's a lot.
I thought we were talking about fucking Bloody Mary's.
No, no, no, no.
We're talking about- That's what you want a little spicy, I thought we're talking about fucking Bloody Mary's. No, no, we're talking about that's what you want
Yeah, we're talking about just
Build it up something. Yeah Brian five stars
Cocktail is our go-to place for meeting friends and enjoying a drink. The Sunday fun day is always the best
Adriana sparkle is fantastic
She always gets the crowd going and the cock shots are fun to watch
You have to check it out in person, I'll take your word for it, but that sounds great shot glass
It's a penis probably
It can be hard to I'm picturing like a guy with a with a penis that can hold a shot glass
Like on top of it that would be an impressive penis.'s a good erection you got there sir or people are just getting punched in it all night
Hey, gotta watch the car amazing it can be hard getting a drink on busy days
But they will get to you the food is delicious try the turkey club sandwich or chicken Caesar salad
So the even the gays are eating boring food yeah
Both are yummy and the owners have done a wonderful job creating a safe place for everyone. We love that
That's good stuff Daniel four stars. This bar is part of the Mary Jean hotel
It is on the first floor and has some event every night, which is pretty great. I got to see bingo and karaoke. I ordered
Gay, so Dilla. Oh, oh, a Gay-sodea,
Gay-sodea with chicken, and it was really good. That's clever.
A Gay-sodea.
A Gay-sodea, that's hilarious.
That's very funny.
Good job, good job, cocktail Pete.
Maybe a tiny bit overpriced for the portion.
Yeah.
A gay guy wants a bigger portion.
Yeah, he needs more. But it was good. Need more substance. priced for the portion. Yeah. A gay guy wants a bigger portion.
He needs more.
But it was good.
Need more substance.
A little more meat in this would be better.
I feel welcome and had a good time.
While the rules are no smoking or vaping in the door,
I saw this happening and no one addressed it.
Even another customer sitting next to me commented on this.
It was probably vaping.
It was probably a cigarette.
Also the smell of weed lingered throughout the outdoor bar inside.
Well, that happens. So that hurt the ad. That could be someone on the street.
You have no idea. That can't be. That's not their fault. Sometimes if the wind's real calm
and it's fucking wet there, that'll hold that smoke in. Oh, God.
Ugh. Ugh. It's so gross. It's not going away. That fucking dense humid air.
It's disgusting. It doesn't move. Yeah. Let's see.
I can't really stand that smell. Also, while while I was there a couple got in a fistfight
No boy, however the staff handled it well and got them separated and out of the bar
But it was scary for a minute as the one guy looked very intoxicated and unpredictable. Yeah, somebody got hit with a gasea
Jesus Christ
Wow, even though this stuff happened. I would still say the bar was a beautiful great theme that works with the hotel
It's very clean and super convenient to anyone staying in the hotel
The only thing I thought was strange was the one-person bathrooms for a bar
Stall there one person. Yeah, because guys are guys. Yeah, that's why we do shit in there. Yeah
That's I feel you should have large bathrooms
for multiple people.
You don't wanna say that.
Yeah, I was gonna say, as a guy, I was gonna say,
if you could have men and women in the same bar
and it was an open thing, there'd be people blowing
each other and pounding girls up against the fucking sinks.
It'd be horrifying in there.
So if it's guys, and the only reason that doesn't happen
is because women aren't willing to do it.
The guys are willing to do it.
We are.
Could you give us a one with just one stall?
Keep them out.
Nothing against gay guys, that's guys.
I know, I have a penis and know what it desires.
You know what I mean?
Other than that, I recommend checking this place out.
It's a fun, friendly bar.
Great parking outside too.
If this review helped you at all,
please mark as helpful and follow me
for more reviews around the world.
Follow me, Jesus.
They had thousands of reviews that person.
Just a lot of opinions.
Elizabeth One Star.
Yeah.
I quite literally never leave reviews,
especially negative ones,
but someone, as someone who's worked
in the service industry for years
Yeah, it's always the worst person to serve and went to cocktail because I've heard it was a fun queer space
I'm so extremely dissatisfied. I understand that there are rules. Yeah, whatever your business your prerogative
Yeah, okay rules need to be posted. You can't expect everyone to know them magically
I was yelled at by multiple staff members multiple times to the point of me leaving the bar
What were you doing? I think we're gonna find out I was polite and kind when speaking to a manager manager
I don't know. He was a taller older gentleman
He was not very kind to me and he continued to berate me. He started the conversation by shouting no
All caps that exclamation that's not where that gasea goes.
From across the bar.
There's not a hole in that thing for a reason.
I will say thank you to the tall tatted bouncer at the door with the curly hair.
Give that man a raise, I would trust him with my life.
However, he's the only staff member I've met here who showed me an ounce of kindness.
Sucks that such a cool spot can be ruined by unprofessional
Behavior by staff we are all family in this community
And I was hoping cocktail had forgotten or gotten that memo won't be returning also the drinks were gross
Okay, so she told us nothing nothing of what everybody was mean well
What would you do what you do to cause you have too many spicy fucking margaritas?
She didn't even say what she was accused of no
Like that's what I mean
Crystal one star I'm a veteran with a service dog
Oh the manager approached me and said that my service my service dog was quote not acting like a service dog
I
Asked it to get me a drink. It did nothing. It just laid there. It is humping for bar stores. What's going on? What's happening? It just bit somebody.
I have no idea what behavior he witnessed because the entire time I was seated at the bar
My service dog was lying on the floor next to me as he is trained to do
When I got up from the bar and stepped away from it. I picked up my service dog and was holding him
It's it's one of those it's an emotional support dog
Or one of the ones like I was on the plane and they're like he sniffs out seizures and the thing was shaking
And I'm like it's having one now. It can't sniff its own. What the fuck a little shaky fucking dog
It picked up my service dog when the manager approached I proceeded to tell the manager that I have his ID
Even though legally under the ADA
I'm not required to show it and it is lawful for me to hold my service dog after a short heated discussion where I was informing the manager of my rights because he was obviously not educated on how to approach customers in these situations.
He changed his reasoning and asked for asking me to leave because the bar quote reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.
Yeah.
Yeah. Didn't like your attitude is what that says.
Now it's not about your dog, it's about you.
It's about, that's what it's become about you.
I will never go back and spend another penny
or my time at this establishment.
I'm a long time resident of St. Pete
and part of the LGBT community
and I will be sharing this experience
with anyone who's interested.
Okay, you can do it here is where all the gay people go.
That's a sticky situation, that sucks.
That's tough, I don't know, I don't know about dogs.
The problem is that the internet fucked all that up
where you can just register any dog
and then you can just say it's a service dog.
If I see a fucking dog that weighs under 50 pounds,
I'm not buying it.
It's not a service dog.
I get there's emotions involved, but you don't get to bring it everywhere just because you're a little sad.
You can stay home. You know what I mean? I'm sorry. I get it.
I want you to get health. I want you to be better. But some people don't want dogs around their food.
Right. That's the thing. If there's food being served, let's not have animals.
If it's somewhere, I don't care. It's a patio go out there
Yeah, if it's a restaurant, that's right kind of it's a different thing at that point
One star from Victoria if I could give this place zero out of five
I would not bad we go that's good. Yeah out of five. It's tough. Yeah, but it did zero slash five
So they made it succinct the manager slash owner is the most disgusting
Oh an unprofessional person I've ever encountered gusting disgusting my group was told we had to leave because we were quote quote too loud
Oh, you're drunk and I but I mean it is a drunk at a bar at a yeah at a gay bar
You're too loud at a gay bar. Yeah, you're a problem. That's a problem. You are loud
That's like that's like you're too loud at the premiere of New Jack City in 1991 is probably
That's like going into a fucking Italian person's house and going you're all too loud
We get it. It's like being thrown out of an Italian person's house
for being too loud.
Oh!
Oh, calm down, my ears.
We're all yelling at each other,
but you're yelling really loud, you know?
I can't hear my yelling wife over you.
Christ, I'm trying to yell at my kids and my wife,
and all I hear is you're fucking yelling.
You bum.
We got yelled at for being too loud here.
Wow, in an environment with loud music and many people loudly talking, this was a complete
lie.
The quote manager did not want us there for reasons unknown.
Oh.
And then in parentheses, we were mostly female having a good time with friends for a birthday.
The way he went about it was unkind and professional and flat out gross.
We'll be spreading the word across Tampa st. Pete that this
That this is not the gay bar you want to go to perhaps
They didn't like that you were treating them like a fucking novelty on your girls night
That's not response from me. Oh hey
If I if I like was a gay guy in a gay bar
I would be just furious with these fucking women. Yeah like, oh, I'm here because it's safe.
I like dick too.
Fuck you.
We're here because we want to fuck each other, not you.
We're here because we want to fuck each other
and not get punched in the face somewhere
because we want to fuck each other.
Unless you want to grind clams, hit the bricks, okay?
Take your penis straws.
It's not cute.
It's not cute.
We put real dicks in our mouths. Fuck off.
Real dicks. More than you. And we're better at it, god damn it.
I'll do it right fucking now.
What do you want? You have to whip it out.
I'll do it right now. You'll wait for a birthday. Fuck you.
You want to see a blowjob? I'll show you a fucking blowjob, alright?
Look at all this spit.
I love this response too what he's saying.
Oh, this is the greatest response ever.
I want every comedy club
when the bachelorette party complains that the comedian yells,
I want every comedy club owner to respond exactly like this.
Yeah. Victoria.
First name first. First names first.
The day you and all the
and all the other bachelorette partygoers
Yep, figure out a gay bar is not about you
Yeah, and for once you are not the center of a tent. We're not trying to fuck you ladies
Guess what? You know why the world's so nice to you because they're all trying to fuck you
No one in here wants it. You came to the only place where we don't want to fuck you.
The only place where you can't get away with everything is here.
Take a hike.
This is the best.
That is so funny.
The center of attention is the day you will realize why you were kicked out for your obnoxious
woo-hooing.
Yes!
Woo!
Shut the fuck up!
Take it to Nashville, bitch!
Exactly. Put some stupid brand new boots on that will be sitting next to you on the outside steps of a bar as you sit there barefoot trying not to throw up at 2 o'clock in the fucking morning.
When you walk in Nashville at 2 in the morning, I went to get a pizza, it's just women sitting on the curb with cowboy boots next to them.
In bare bright red battered
With like a turquoise cowboy hat on a skew
Not to throw up. That's where you belong
Toes throw up gang signs. Yeah
That's where you belong her toes spell blood and that's dripping from her heels
Well, your toes are saying Crip but dripping blood I don't get it
It's real weird your toes say Crip. Does that because you're crippled?
It's the day you why you'll realize why you were kicked out for your obnoxious woohooing and why every patron in the bar
Asks for you to be kicked
I get these bitches out of here
Someday one of your gay friends. Hopefully will explain it right until then we are just fine with the one star
You gave us don't come back because you were banned like the rest Donna by
Peace bitch don't come back. Oh, I love that. This is a place that we established because people hurt people like us.
God damn it.
I mean, not you, but you're annoying, so fuck off.
We'll take women in here all the time.
You didn't come in with like a Confederate flag and a neck beard.
But that's almost preferable, because some of those guys are probably gay.
Some of them are.
That's why they're acting like that. That's why they're doing that.
They're afraid that it'll be delicious.
You guys not interested.
They didn't want, you don't want to gay Sidiya. Fuck off.
Hester one star. I've never had a good experience at cocktail.
They go against everything that being LGBTQ is all about.
It's about love, acceptance, community.
I took some straight friends there
and they wouldn't let them King Sing karaoke.
Good!
Good!
Straight people aren't fun enough.
They say, no, no, you're not gonna go off and.
All you're gonna do is sing something from Grease.
Get the fuck out of here.
That's it, you're gonna go, that's gay, right?
No.
And that's the other part.
People go to these bars to sing karaoke and then they sing Lady Gaga and they're like
Yeah, I'm one of you
You know why we're all here
Not to hang out with you. We hate you
I am gender non-conforming and I stand at the bar for so long waiting for service while the staff serves all the men first
stand at the bar for so long waiting for service while the staff serves all the men first.
Right.
Because that's their, yeah.
Yeah, because they tip-flop
because they're trying to fuck them.
Yep, the drinks are overpriced and too strong.
Well.
Well, they're too strong.
It's strong.
Who's complaining about that?
Besides us when we get full glasses of vodka
at that place by me.
I guess it works if you are male from birth
and gay and basic. And basic. gay bitch bitch nut motherfucker. I will not support the hate. Please do better. Okay. All right, come down a little bit there
Louise
They wanted me to pay a cover charge because I look too feminine
I don't know Twink's pay cover. Yeah, sorry this
This is bear night yeah
Twink's pay covers sorry it's bottoms only in here
Totally absurd in a gay bar with no dress code today at 930 in the bar inside
They wanted me to change my clothes or I would have to pay extra. Oh pay extra. What is that?
fashion fee?
Take off that dress.
It was just, you're not dressed nicely,
you don't appreciate it.
It was empty on a Friday night so I left.
Very sad, it's not the place for queer people.
Specific ones, I think it is.
Here is one.
Not queer, gay, they want gays only.
They want gay guys, yeah.
Here is one star, queer, gay. They want gays only. They want gay guys. Yeah.
Here is one star.
Sunday night, no shade, but DJ Lex can't keep a simple rhythm going.
No one dancing and just be playing the worst music anyone ever heard before.
Switch up the DJ.
Get rid of Lex.
Get rid of Lex.
He's got nothing.
One star.
My friends and I ordered drinks at the bar and the bartender straight us
straight up told us no and turned around no this place is like one of those mob
bars like there's a there's used to be mob bars all over New York City these
little places and they you walk in and you'd know this place isn't not for you
it's not public like it's open but it's not it's not not for you. Yeah, it's open. It's not wide open
Yeah, everyone in there knows each other. That's what they're doing. Yeah. Yeah, so I feel like that's what it is
No and turned around we were all just confused and decided to go elsewhere save yourself a bad time and skip this one
No
No, that is intense man. Please have us eggs on the beach. No, yeah. No one star from Jen
John sorry, not Jen encountered clear discriminatory policies toward queer women and overheard security using excessive
Verbal force slash harassing patrons for doing a harmless tick-tock dance outside by a pool. Stop being not
It's not harm stop being a douchebag
Damn it and no filming in here because there might be someone in the fucking background doesn't want anybody to know they're here
That's why there may be somebody that's gay and doesn't want fucking damage to their life. Leave them alone
That's fucking phone away and live in the moment member Smithers on the Simpsons
He went on a cruise and they're like, oh, I can't wait to see pictures of that cruise and Jericho
Oh, well, this is not the type of place where your pictures
In a world where quote the outside is increasingly hostile this place has a long way to go to be the inclusive queer space that
St. Pete needs let's do better. It feels like people don't understand that.
It feels like it's not uniform and it's just confusing to people.
They think safe place is just do everything, anything you want.
That's not what it is.
Until it's encroaching on somebody else, you fucking asshole.
One star here, invest in straws okay people have sensitive teeth
thank you oh you get one star because after reading other people's experiences
I wholeheartedly side with them oh my god Harris one star staff and environment
isn't safe if you want to get groped by bartenders and harassed with no consequences. This is the best place
for you
This is fucking great. Two more here one more Eric one star if you're gonna have mean bartenders
Why they gotta be ugly?
At least have them be have some abs. I'll tip a hot chick to tell me to go
At least have him be have some abs. I'll tip a hot chick to tell me to go away.
Yeah, that's the thing.
And that's men in the same way.
Yeah.
If they're going to be mean to us, at least have tits out.
At least make it be fun to look at.
Zoe one star, the new trend for security at gay bars
must be that they're all homophobic.
Gift shop literally sells poppers.
Really?
Wow.
Asked worker if it was OK to do it out in the open was told yes, no one cares did them got kicked out
Security called my friend a slur all while there were 30 minutes until the ball was about to drop
This is a New Year's Eve experience very
Unplugged. Very pleasant experience.
Not, Jesus, okay. Garth, not, disgusting security won't be back. The old low-key gay bar down
the street was far better and more friendly. And we'll do one more.
How do you, they have hoppers for sale at New Year's Eve?
That's crazy. Yeah, it's interesting. They mean noise poppers or no
It's New Year's Eve. That's the only reason I would ask that otherwise I get what they're saying. It could have been
Not sure don't let me give it. I don't accuse them of being drug dealers. That's a nebulous fucking thing there
All right, finally truity one star
Yeah, was going to like this place, but when the security wormy guy
Security wormy guy yeah kick me and my female friend out for being girls and sharing a bathroom
We were not hooking up or doing drugs the fun stopped right away. What an absolute buzzkill
We were buying drinks and tipping my friend knew someone who was working there that night. A little small warning wasn't an option to the little guy with the backwards
hat. I just wanted a chill girls night, but apparently that was too much to ask for. We
went to a bar nearby and the staff there said that they are very anti-women here. Cocktail
St Pete's. We now know it's true. I'm so sorry that we're females and not welcomed there not
In Florida
40 years behind the fucking they're gonna get to whatever in a little bit
Making squares with their hands
Thanks for bullying us we We didn't deserve such
horrible service. That's the thing about these safe spaces too like this. People
think that you can just go do drugs in the bathroom and if it's a one-man show
you can't just wedge two people in there. Or fucking each other. Yeah that's
what they're thinking. I'm sure they get guys are guys. Yeah.
Wherever there is close by to fuck it. That's what they do.
We can go hide.
That's what I mean.
I will do one more real quick.
All right.
One star, rude staff, stereotype,
70s, 80s, 90s gay music, no dis Donna Summer over.
Okay.
No dancing, week overpriced drinks,
full of old dudes and angry women.
I have tried this spot three times.
The only reason this place has businesses
because it's a gay bar in a good location for gay bars.
Have to read this, I know I'm running along
with doesn't matter.
One star, Victoria, zero stars if I could.
Close.
The owner of the business kicked us out
because our sober friend in the group
bumped into him on accident.
As what happens in crowded bars
and then decided to start belligerently yelling at her
and throw our group out for it.
As we were leaving, he then proceeded to tell one of our girls to quote, go eat pussy somewhere
else.
Couldn't leave that one out.
That's a closer.
And then he called another one of our girls fat.
Eat fat pussy somewhere else.
Go eat pussy somewhere else
He was also clearly off his rocks, which I don't know how one runs a business He found an opportunity to throw a group of straight women out
And if you read the other reviews, there's a pattern of women being unwelcome in this box. Yeah
It sounds like a gay bar. Why are you guys going to a gay bar?
They don't want you there. So anyway, there you go.
We ran out of time for the personal items. So we'll do that again next week. We'll have the personal item.
Do you want to talk about what it is?
It's disgusting. It's a weird...
It's not even that disgusting. It's just weird and there's a hook involved. It is disgusting. It's crazy.
If you saw someone in it you go, oh my god, how do I help you?
If you saw someone in it you go, oh my god, how do I help you?
So anyway, there you go. Thank you so much for listening Tell everyone you know about it
Please rate and review give us five stars listen to our other two shows crime and sports and small-town murder
And if you're a lady, maybe avoid the where the gays don't want you. I don't know. There you go
Thank you so much. Everybody. Have a good one. We pussy somewhere else. Hey, you fat bitch. Bye. Okay.
