Gin Mill South End - Charlotte

Bartender logan!!! was great very friendly and open about the menu. I enjoyed the food wonderful day date with the wife.

I went on a Friday night, and once I got to the door they our checked purses, my friend was carrying pepper spray and a birdie personal alarm for her personal safety. They took both of these items at the door, and told her they would put them aside and that she could get them back when we left the bar. About an hour later when we were leaving, she asked the bouncer who took them for it back, and they were gone. When she asked where they kept her things, he pointed at the ground on the street. There was also another pepper spray that wasn’t hers lying beside a trash can. They didn’t have a box or anything, he just put it on the sidewalk, and someone must have picked it up. The bouncer was mocking her and when she told him she used it because of past traumatic experiences he’s basically laughed in her face. We understand that accidents happen but he was beyond disrespectful about it. It makes me wonder if it was something like a man touching one of us or something more serious, how they would’ve handle it. I can tell by the past comments, it wouldn’t have been respectful. I will NEVER support a business that doesn’t put safety first and is disrespectful towards woman. If you care about your safety, do not go here. Read the other comments.

They discriminate based on nationality. Could be considerated as racism.

I went on a friday night, and once I got to the door they checked purses, I carry pepper spray and a birdie personal alarm for personal safety, especially when I am out at night at bars etc. They took both of these items at the door, which I understood because I know accidents can happen, however when they were taken i was told that they would put them aside and that I could get them back when I left the bar. About an hour later when I was leaving, I asked the bouncer who took them for it back, and they were gone. When I asked where they kept my things, he pointed at the ground on the street. They didn’t have a box or anything, he just put it on the sidewalk, and someone must have picked it up. Obviously these things are replaceable, but many of us carry these things ESP at night because people can be icky and scary, and the way that the bouncer treated me after losing my things, laughing at me when I started to cry explaining to him that I had been assaulted in ubers before and that I carried those things to feel safe, and so do many others, so they should really have a better system to keep peoples items safe while they are inside, and his reaction was DISGUSTING. I was simply trying to explain to him why it’s so important to look after personal safety items when you take them from someone. Accidents happen, and if he had apologized I would have let it go, but the way that I was treated by someone who was supposedly there to keep us safe was disgusting

Only complaint is not enough bathroom stalls. they let way too many people in for only 4 stalls total. ridiculous
