"NO BLACK PEOPLE ALLOWED"

by 2theman at Citysearch

Lotus Lounge should put up a "NO COLORED PEOPLE ALLOWED" sign in front of this establishment. We went to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Two decently dressed/looking black couples no loud mouth or any of that stereotypical crap. The queue stopped moving when we got to the door. The owner comes out and gives us some crappy excuse about how it has reached capacity and there is no more room, we decided to wait since some people are bound to come out right?

The owner noting our decision to wait decides to go to the back of the line and start escorting the Caucasian patrons behind us inside the club one by one. When i inquired why was this happening he stated they were on the list. He had no list with him. We stood there for about 20 minutes soaking in the embarrassment of being denied entry because of our skin color. The line was not getting longer and the manager was getting agitated because we had found out what he was doing and he was embarrassed to continue.

We decided to look for an alternative party location because who wants to be in a place where nobody wants you there. As soon as we leave, i look back and the line started moving and the line was gone in ten minutes. I guess they finally found some hidden space inside.

The worst part is that none of the patrons said anything, they just look at us like we were some aliens who had invaded their territory and they did not know what to do with us. I guess we should have known better. IF YOU ARE BLACK STAY AWAY save yourself the embarrassment. In a way i feel like i am also doing the owner a favor but hey at least now you know what to expect.

Uptown Needs to Be Better

by UptownVicki at Citysearch

I live a block from Lotus. It should be a fun and welcoming hot spot in Uptown. I'm appalled by the reviews of this place. I hope the owner wises up. You don't last long in Dallas unless you are a quality place and it sounds like you're missing the mark on everything. I'd like to be proud of this area - we have to be inclusive as much as possible. That fake bouncer thing is so 80's, and I remember the 80's. Shame on you.

I will NEVER go back!

by JulieJulz at Citysearch

Awful experience every time ive gone! This place sucks! The Bartenders are rude the people inside are rude. Typical 30,000 dollar a year WANNA BE millionaires! Pathetic. Staff is incompetent and the "owner" is a short d-bag that thinks hes cool, and he is completely delusional to the fact that his place SUCKS and it will never be as good as Aura, Idle Rich or Blackfriar.

Horrible Douchebag doorman

by caseycasey555 at Citysearch

The doorman knew that half our group was already in and kept the other half outside ON PURPOSE to try to get us to pay him to let them in. I dont know if this is how doormen earn a little extra pocket money b/c they have such pathetic day jobs and are lowlife losers, but the owner of this bar needs to tell their employees to quit ripping off their patrons. Listen UP LOTUS BAR OWNER- if you want to continue to stay in business, you need to fire all these douchebag doormen and start treating your patrons right!!!!! dont go here unless you dont mind havng to slip the shadyass doorman a $50 just to get in!

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: the doorman!!
