St. Louis restaurant Social Bar and Grill is accused of racism for a VERY long list of new rules, including “no hoodies,” “saggy pants” and “sleeveless tank tops for men.”

A St. Louis restaurant sparked a massive backlash after enacting a long list of new rules, including “no hoodies,” “sagging pants” and “sleeveless tank tops for men” — despite its own staff being scantily clad in tiny uniforms.

Social Bar and Grill Soulard Restaurant, located in downtown St. Louis, Mo., posted its new policy in the bar window and on an easel at the host stand earlier this month.

Under the new dress code, masks, hoodies, saggy pants, backpacks, sleeveless men’s tank tops and overly revealing outfits are now prohibited in the establishment.

The bar gave few details about the reason for the new rules and simply said: “in an effort to provide an enjoyable experience for other diners and staff, we ask that you respect our policies.”

They ended the letter by stating that “everyone is welcome,” but also added, “we reserve the right to refuse service.” Our house. Our rules.

Many customers were furious, saying the rules were hypocritical. More than 600 people expressed their anguish on Reddit.

Some claimed the rules were racist or anti-LGBTQ, while others seemed amused as they asked if this was the same establishment that once had its servers dress topless and adorned in body paint.

In response to these rules, someone wrote: “F*** this place!” Implicit racism and right-wing bullshit***.

Another said: “No revealing outfits…” of where their female staff PAINT their torsos. »

The bar’s new dining policy states that customers are no longer allowed to return their food and request a refund. Customers also need to be specific about their food temperatures when placing an order.

Regarding tipping, a 20% gratuity will automatically be added to bills for customers who do not tip and for customers paying with a credit card, any order over $25 must show ID valid.

The property noted that it has a zero smoking policy, stating: “Guests who emit marijuana odors, vape indoors, or demonstrate loud and disrespectful behavior will be asked to leave.”

One Reddit user said: “Long list of arbitrary rules, like we’re back in middle school. »

“If I had to read a whole page of rules for going to a restaurant, I would just choose another restaurant,” said another.

While others wondered if they were being targeted by “the rules”.

“It’s a thinly veiled ‘no LGBT allowed’.”

“Yeah, that would immediately tell me to leave,” said another Reddit user.

The restaurant has been around for 40 years with locations in St. Louis, the Ozarks and Detroit, according to the company’s website.

One commenter was so flabbergasted that they wrote: “Not only is this an incredibly lazy and obnoxious way to handle the issue, but it also generalizes a wide range of potential customers who legitimately want to enjoy your food and atmosphere .

“Someone mentioned possible racism, and I don’t think I’d jump on that, although they’re certainly not doing themselves any favors when it comes to this denial based on their rules.”

One angry reader joked: “Ridiculous rules that reek of hostility not hospitality. »

In 2016, the restaurant posted a series of tweets about X, formerly Twitter, describing itself as a “Social House for Exceptional Cuisine!” The sexiest staff in Soulard! We are ideal for lunch, happy hours, live bands and nightlife! ‘

One of the posts shows a photo of a brunette waitress wearing black body paint on her torso with the caption: “Social Tacos and ta-tas…Is there a better pair?” Join us every Thursday for $1 tacos and $3 margaritas and coronas.

Another tweet shows another scantily clad woman: “I love our girls’ body paint!? Find out how you can have fun dining at Social House.
