"I wish I could give them 2 stars at least or 3 given the doubt. I moved from DTLA to the city a few months ago. I had no chance to go for a cocktail (busy unpacking So I went my way to Catalina St., sat outside on streleet Bench the choices I had since everything I wanted was a good Russian mule . So yes, I chose Rebel Republic because I saw a group of women in the restaurant, with the exception of the bartender and a man who flirted with the only table at that time. I'll make my way out of the street. I don't see any hostess and no one else to welcome me, I'm moving into the bar area and I asked these ladies to apologize so I'm going through and sitting in a corner where the bartender was. The women stared at me! Like they didn't hear me. So I said it again to move her chairs so I can go through. (She where the bar corralized and before I knew it, I really had a lady in my back close to my comfort. then another great lady stands on my bacl also the shorter lady(asian arround chobin me,confronted me and literally pressed me with her chest against me, I even had a heavy coat on and I felt she pushed me saying that I had to go with no explanation! I was shocked! She said you had to go! You have to go! I was standing there, fell the pressure of the woman, the manager or at this point the Bar Bouncer!. You want to kick me out of here? I said she was a bully. I didn't feel safe at all. I did it with that thing! I think I arrived a little too late when everyone had a drink too much. So I went happily beyond my way out I had this video before when I thought on the street well that 's the only open bar I'm going to go there, I said to myself and also they are all ladies; but what a disappointment. I'll never go there again. I felt very discriminated and dismantled and respected. And I never had my RUSSIAN MULE! But, sure, I felt like I was kicked by one!"
