Chieftain Irish Pub & Restaurant in Seattle

I and a friend visited this bar, two men of color, and we feel we were singled out.The bartender said it was against the law to serve us three drinks a piece. On a prior visit, other bartenders would serve us whatever amount of drinks we wanted. I did my research, and found that there is no such law in Washington that sets a limit on how many drinks a bartender can serve a patron at a given time. The bartender therefore lied to us. Forced us to take one of our shots in front of him before he gave us our other drinks that he already prepared.We ordered food and he purposely took longer to bring it to us. Then he just slid it across the table instead of presenting it to us as he did other patrons that were not people of color.Later on, he came to our table and accosted us about not tipping when we in fact did tip for the drinks we bought. He asked if we were at Chieftan fives weeks ago and why we did not tip that time. We in fact we’re not at Chieftan five weeks ago. It was months ago that we were there and we did tip. He was not our bartender at that time.In closing, the guy singled out and harassed us. We did nothing wrong. We come to the Chieftan often but not regularly. The service is usually great but last night it was horrible.

He was also not our bartender at that time. This started to feel very racial and prejudice because he started to harass us the whole night.In closing, the guy singled out and harassed us. We did nothing wrong. We come to the Chieftan often but not regularly. The service is usually great but last night it was horrible.

Chill place to have drinks.
