At that point I was really just annoyed because it was obvious we weren't welcome. Mind you the drink special on their site said 6 dollar house wines and he charged me 9 dollars a drink. You can imagine how long he spent eyeing the ID's my foreign friends had.So after checking ID's he proceeds to help other customers then finally gets us our drinks. He then pulls out a flashlight and vigorously inspects my friends and I's New York State ID's like it was an ID from Mars. But fine I just dismissed it as they don't usually get younger folks there so that's why he's asking. I was the youngest of the bunch and I'm almost 30 and I had not seen him ask anyone else for ID. The bartender immediately asked to see everyone's ID. We saw online it was on sale for 6 dollars a glass and thought I would start off by buying a round for my friends while we scope out the ambience. I knew the type of clientele that frequented the bar (mostly older gay men) but I thought it would be interesting to check out a show tunes gay bar.So we head to the back bar and I ask the bartender about the house wine.
