Huge beer selection and knowledgable bartenders. Good local choices. Happy hour is a little weak- basically just cheap bad beer. Wings are good. Lots of different burgers and sandwiches.
I was livid, as I really think anyone would be, of course my license isn't fake but now you're going to take it from me? I truly did nothing wrong in this situation, what gives your bouncer the right to take my id, because they think it's fake, unbelievable.
We approached the bouncer who checked our ids and told us they wanted to double check my id, this is not the first time this has happened so I agreed and we followed him. The bouncer then continued to aggressively bend my id and looking at me back and forth, never once asking me any questions about it like where I am from, birthday, etc. By now over 10 minutes has passed all we really want to do is watch the Yankees game and eat some nachos, maybe some wings.
Last night I tried to go to jacks around 8 pm. My boyfriend was excited to watch the Yankees game and a few of my friends from college were in town visiting so we were hopeful to get some good food and drinks, this soon became not possible at jacks
After a few more minutes, a second bouncer came and they brought out a wallet full of fakes and began comparing my id to fakes they had confiscated.
First time visiting this spot...food was good & staff was quick to make sure drinks were refilled
At this point we asked to speak to a manager and they just keep telling us to get out, but they still had my id. After a few minutes of pleading, which is utterly disgusting that I had to beg for an item lawfully issued by the government to be given back to me, they gave me my id and told us to leave.
I've been dreaming of these wings since the night I had them. No lie. The atmosphere is great, awesome service, staff is extremely attentive and there's a huge dining area in the back. Plus multiple bars, if that's your thing.
Jacks staff insisted on our way out the door that the bouncer was "the best in town" and ultimately stated they had the authority to let whoever they want into the bar and simply "did not feel comfortable letting me in".
I want to preface this by saying, I was born on February 2, 1994 meaning I will turn 24 February. My two friends from school have out of state ids (as do I) and are 22 and 25. Additionally we went to a school that issued student ids without our birthdays on them, only a picture. Meaning, I have no other form of id besides my passport that has my birthday and face on it, and like most I do not walk around day to day with my passport on me.
He then furthered the investigation by comparing it to a book that bouncers use to identify fakes with. This even had happened to me a few times so I was hopeful I would soon get in and we would be on our way. I asked if they had a scanner and if they could scan my id like federal liquor stores in PA do, however the bouncer responded that scanners are illegal because they store information without consent. As someone with a computer science degree/ who works in the tech industry (or anyone with a brain really would know) I know this simply is not true, while old scanners may have operated that way they do make legit scanners that bars, can buy and that the state of PA uses regularly in their state liquor stores.
After speaking back and forth to each other they finally spoke to me and said "this is fake get out of the bar", my license was in their hands still.
Jacks is everything you can want in a sports bar! The food is great and tv's are everywhere you look. It's a great place to watch a game with friends or even just come in and grab a drink. The service is always top notch and I would recommend this to anyone thats in the Long Branch area.
I am extremely saddened by how the whole situation was handled by the jacks staff and hope your bouncers can use this as an educational experience and admit they were wrong. I do hope I get an apology but after witnessing the staffs poor manners through the whole endeavor I am less than hopeful.
