That place is always packed isn't it? Seems like their business model is doing just fine.

I am Hispanic and have never been charged a cover or discriminated against at any of the so called racist bars on Washington/Midtown. I also make sure to dress nice and not try and go in with a group of ten other guys wearing jordans. If a bar charged me cover or turned me away at the door, I would simply go to another bar and not make a stink about it.

Texas doesn't have public accommodation laws, so there isn't a state case. They could file something in federal court if they want to.
What about HERO?

That is a city ordinance, not a state law. The city is allowed to attempt to pass it because the state does not have accommodation laws in place (the state has not spoken, so the city may).

Midtown has always been kind of ******y. In the mid-2000's, it was annoying. Then Washington became the new Midtown. Now it's back full-circle.

What does this even mean? This seems to be a trend with people talking about a dress code and dressing nice. What is the dress code for these places?

Be lucky you aren't black. I have been denied entrance into gaslamp and refuse to go back to gaslamp or drinkery because multiple times they said i wasn't dressed properly. I didn't know dress shoes, jeans, and a polo aren't dressy enough. I once went to gaslamp and watched people with flip flops and board shorts get in. It was incredible how blatantly racist those dumbass bouncers were. I'm glad that these guys are bringing attention to it. It also helps that they are lawyers that probably have plenty of friends in the city.

Texas Supreme Court said the City has to repeal the ordinance or place it up for vote back in May of this year. It is Prop 1 on the November ballot. I believe its implementation is stayed until the November ballot results are in.

What the hell is he trying to say? That we need to vote for an accommodation law so his door guys know what to do, but until then they don't care what anyone thinks?
