"I am a service dog handler of nearly 17 years now and was denied access to the establishment due to my need for a service dog. The group of people i was meeting had to reschedule our meeting due to this too.I tried to educate the employees on my rights along with the two ADA questions and was told from the beginning and after standing up for myself specifically that service dogs were not allowed. I was not even permitted to sit down.I left the place feeling lesser than and humiliated because the employee was loud by the end and the entire bar was staring while I left, including a second employee behind the bar. A couple leaving after me also laughed at me when I was shaking trying to unlock my car.My SD goes anywhere I go alone, including appointments, hospital visits, the store, etc. She is fully task trained has had years of continued training in her 7 1/2 years and has passed CGC testing. My SD was under complete control and focused on me the entire time. She did not interact with anyone else at all.Oddly enough I had visited the establishment years prior without issue. But even then the food was overcooked and server was unnattentive."
