One of our favorite gay bars in D.C. recently created a bizarre public relations nightmare for itself. Here’s some backstory and a rundown of what happened.
Backstory: Uproar Lounge & Restaurant is a gay bar in D.C.’s U-Street neighborhood. Uproar has a large rooftop and hosts a weekly all-you-can-drink beer bust on Sundays. There’s typically free food and a live DJ at the event. It can get pretty rowdy, but it’s a fun time.
This weekend, Uproar announced a new “dress code” via Facebook. The bar’s post was poorly-written, but seemed to ban flag football t-shirts during the Sunday beer bust. It also failed to give a clear reason for the rule, which left everyone to speculate in the comments.
