Bill's Bar at 6326 Avenue N, Brooklyn, New York.

This is a racist establishment.

I was supposed to meet some friends of mine at this bar tonight. One friend of mine, a black man, got there a little earlier than the rest of us. Once he entered, the patrons had loudly said "No n***ers allowed here." The bartender said nothing in his defense. I am disappointed and embarrassed that this behavior was tolerated. I was born and raised in Bergen Beach, attended the local elementary school, and it is heartbreaking to know that a dear friend of mine was treated in this manner in my own neighborhood.

My friend, understandably, wanted to move on and forget it happened, but I called the bar once we parted ways and was told by whomever answered the phone that "I wasn't around when that happened, there are plenty of black people who come here, I don't know what you're talking about" and hung up on me. This is unacceptable. I expected more from this establishment than a denial of what had happened.

I have never in my life reviewed a bar/restaurant but I felt people had to know about this.
