I have been to BlackFinn's on 3 separate occasions. After my last visit, I will not be returning. A few girlfriends and I were waiting for friends in the bar. When they arrived they were turned away because one guy had on pants that were ""too baggy"". The door guy could not tell us what their definition of baggy was. Our friend had on a belt and his pants were sitting on his waist. We given an excuse that they had problems with relaxed dress code the previous weekend. However, we witnessed guys with pants hanging off their butts be granted entrance into the establishment. There were also patrons in gym shorts and cargo shorts covered in holes in the bar, despite their ""strict dress code"" this evening. Our observations lead us to believe they did not want our friend to enter because he was a young, African-American male. Other young African-American males that were attempting to go in as we were leaving were also turned away due to ""baggy"" pants that were not baggy at all. The following week I noticed that I was charged twice for my drinks. I called and spoke with a manager named Shawn and was told that he couldn't find any record of my transaction in their system (the charges had already gone through my account). I was then told if I wanted my money back I'd should call my bank because there was nothing he could do. He then said ""Well if you decide to come back, lemme know and I'll buy your first round of drinks"". He didn't even ask for my name. I won't be going back for those drinks or for any other reason either.
