Bad Vibes
By prayerforyahere on 05/10/2007
I agree with the other reviews about there being no parking. But that isn't a big deal. What is a big deal is that Prejudice abounds with employees there, Particularly the people they hire to ID check you before you come in. To set the stage, understand that there are two gay bars to either side of the place. I'm a gay man. The door men from The Dinosaur were out on the sidewalk chatting it up and saw me and a girlfriend of mine coming out of the Gay club. And they were shooting me looks to kill. My girlfriend wanted to go into the Dino and the ID checker guy refused me entry. When I asked him why he wouldn't let me gain entry the door guy said, "Because only 'real' men are allowed in here. We don't accept sissy boys". That is a direct quote. Sissy boy? Because I'm gay? I happen to have a black belt in Brazilian Jui-jitsu and could have choked him out if I wanted. Just because you shave your head bald, wear leather, and have a motorcycle doesn't make you tough. The bouncers so creeped my girlfriend out by undressing her with their eyes and so shocked us that we decided to leave. That is my experience at the "over-rated" Dinosaur. It was disrespectful. I think that about describes the whole joint. Disrespectful. Despite the food, the vibes from the workers there are really negative, to say the least.

Lousy Customer Service
By theegamedude on 05/09/2007
The food is OK. But it doesn't make up for the bad customer service. The bar tenders and wait staff never make eye contact and you can spend a good 20 minutes to get another beer. On top of that the bouncers go looking for fights. With Customers! What a shame. The food, good. The people they hire. Not good.
