According to Dining room CarolinasThe problem was first addressed to Tiktok by user Sarah Baus (@sarahebaus), who revealed that she and her friends had attended Zachary’s Daiquarean Opening Night and ordered a second round of drinks while the bar was about to open at 8 am
Baus said she was excited about the event and was about to share a post to promote the business when she witnessed the rebound walking on a patron line, applying a dress code before they could enter.
“ She stops next to a group of black men, stops next to them, does not look at them, but stops next to it; it is where the announcement, “ non -Jordans, no jeans, no athletic pants, ” describing this group of men, no athletic shoes, no shoes, Jordans, ” said Baus in the video for more than four minutes.
Baus described the shocking gaze on the face of his friends and his friends, while seeing that the rebound allegedly resumed the black men. He said that the men marched with half the line they went with them and pledged not to support a business that treats black customers in this way.
After the incident, Baus, her friends and her husband left. He said he spoke with the rebound about the situation and said that many other clients had also been in response. The rebound said that the decision came from the upper leadership and had no control over it.

It is unclear whether the establishment enforced the clothing code before opening to the public. According to the departure, the past reports indicate that the website did not include it until the opening night.
Baus said that his group had gone to another restaurant and continued to discuss what happened at the bar. He went online to look at the reviews when he noticed that one of the black men in the group had left a comment explaining his experience.
“After putting on the line out of the cold 30 minutes, it was told that there is now a dress code and I cannot enter with Jordan, after seeing that several Caucasians came in with Jordans. He was told that they have only been informed about it,” as if this were some excuse, not at his website indicates a very unprofessional clothing code and, in fact, I was only promoting this business and, actually, to leave this business only to leave the business. To a couple of shoes.

Zachary’s Daiquarean representatives did not respond on Wednesday to Bravity’s email for comments.
However, Lamar Bonaparte responded to the reaction of social networks in a shared post on the Zachary Daiquarean Instagram account later.
“In recent days, I was asked to make a statement, excuse me and deal with extravagant complaints about my business about social media allegations that are not only completely false, but extremely harmful and discriminatory,” Lamar wrote in part in the subtitle.
He continued to publish: “I am a person who has experienced first -hand racism and acts of discrimination. This is a real time. The most sad to see these unmatched publications is irony, the deepest and most dangerous form of racism.”
Lamar was doubled, saying that he or the establishment had not made a crime and suggested that people should not visit if they do not like how they do their business.
“And no, it’s not an apology because we didn’t do anything wrong. We have a dress code and it is fulfilled after 8pm. If you don’t like the way you do business, don’t come,” he said.

It is the deepest form of privilege than the other 27 years. Band, Homegirl.
