As a Black lesbian woman, I deal with BS daily, so there is no need to spend my hard earned dollars at a place that doesn't even welcome me or people like me. If you are dressed in 'urban' attire.you are not allowed. I'll take my business to where they accept 'colored' folk." "Black people are not allowed here if they look'"gangster' apparently so there food was just ok anyway. If you are of color more so Black, the doormen will find any ridiculous offensive reason to not allow you entry, unless you are with other white male gays!! Maybe they were at their 'black capacity quota' for the night, but I was far from dressed 'gansta' or am!!" "This place is ridiculously racist!! Since when is black jeans, black studded red bottom boots a tank top, and a leather biker jacket with sun glasses 'GANGSTER' yes too Gangster were the exact words. The bar noted that it would have been a "beautiful experience and honor to add Tamar Braxton to the long list of celebrities who have enjoyed JR's as a safe and inclusive entertainment venue."īraxton was in Dallas to perform at The Great Xscape Tour at Verizon Theatre, on December 13, but the controversy with the bar has brought reviews like the following. JR's Bar and Grill doesn't allow folks who "sag their pants" - pants not worn at the waistline - to enter, nor do they allow folks wearing sunglasses to enter, which may have been the issue with Braxton. It is not clear if the owners of JR's Bar & Grill knew that a famous Braxton sister was attempting to enter their bar, but with Tamar's large following, it would have behooved the bar to let her in instead of allegedly rejecting her and facing the wrath of her fans. Now, reviews like those listed below appear on the Yelp and Facebook pages of the bar. It was the evening of Monday, December 11, when Tamar was reportedly banned from the bar. Tamar's "Tamartian" fans are finding it ironic that a gay bar would allegedly deny entrance to the famous Braxton since the star is often seen hanging out with her two best gay friends on Tamar & Vince.Īccording to NBC Dallas-Forth Worth, in the wake of Tamar's accusations, JR's Bar & Grill is getting a lot of backlash from Tamar's followers.
Braxton charged the bar with having "zero tolerance for black people" in her favorite city of Dallas. Braxton claimed that she must have apparently looked "too gangster" in her sunglasses and other apparel because she was denied entrance to the gay bar.
As Tamar Braxton would say, "They tried it." As seen in the below video, Tamar turned to Snapchat to complain about JR's Bar and Grill on Cedar Springs Road in Dallas.
