Very very poorly managed. I arrived with a group of five friends after a birthday dinner. I looked at my watch and it was 1:22. I asked one of the security team at the door if we had enough time for one drink at the bar because I was sure last call was at 1:30. He was very friendly and said something like: oh sure you've still got 10 min to order. I spent 45$ on our 5 drinks after a 5 or 6 min wait trying to get service at the bar and before they even arrive the bouncers are saying we have 3 min to get out of the bar. I ran right back to the bar and pled my case to the same bartender. She assured me that they were just trying to get people moving.

The long story-short is that they yanked my drink and 2 others drinks out of our hands at around 1:45. I told them I hadn't had anything to drink before that bar and that I wasn't trying to be difficult, but that I felt really taken advantage of.

My group of friends all had the impression that they were getting close to physical violence with me. They started saying that San Diego has a zero tolerance law and trying to intimidate me by grabbing my arms.

The bartender who told me not to worry would not come back over to plead my case to them.

When we got outside I immediately ran into 2 other couples with very, very similar stories.

This may be the worst treatment I've ever had in a bar in my life. Every complaint i made was prefaced with "i am sober and really not trying to be difficult but..." I wish I could do something other than review to help people avoid this awful environment. I have never had any bar workers touch me or grab my beer before in my life. The sign on the door and the staff immediately next to it and behind the bar led me to believe I could pay for and enjoy one beer last night
