"Careful Your Racism is Showing One of the most disappointing service experiences of my life. Have been coming to Grand Marais for over 50 years to enjoy. A lifetime of joyful visits was grossly sullied today by the service my family received at gunflint rooftop tavern. My son, who chose to quietly spend his 21st birthday with his family, was asked for ID when he and his father placed their orders. This request was honored. Then from nowhere the bartender accused my very respectful son of having an attitude, as he stood there with his parents watching (no attitude was given). The next event will keep me from EVER placing foot in this establishment again. The bartender then began to mockingly speak to them in broken Spanish. A blatantly obvious racially motivated attempt to reduce and intimidate a customer. This was followed by the bartender warning us that he will be keeping an eye on us . An eye on what? 4 adults enjoying a cocktail? Ridiculous !! Unlike the bartender, my family was respectful of the environment and others uninvolved that were present. We quietly consumed our drinks, processing and discussing with each other ... Did that really just happen? Yes It did. Racism is alive and well at The Gunflint Rooftop Tavern. Our voice will be strong here and other review sites. Do not bring your business to this establishment . Do not support businesses that allow racially motivated negative treatment of clients !"
