high_everyone@reddit

I just assumed it was a cop bar. The parking lot is always full of trucks and midsize SUVs of white suburbanites who look a little to clean cut but not wealthy to be much else. I avoid it. Wu Wei Din is literally next door and there’s no excuse for Chill at that point.

LMAO Reddit opinions are wild. There’s a 90% chance this bartender is a raging alcoholic that over pours her customers. Chilis is a big corporate owed chain that uses a jigger to serve a correct sized shot. She probably got a proper sized shot and was offended.  I cannot imagine reading this exchange and thinking the person that had to mention their bartender occupation and complained about too little alcohol is probably in the right.

I do the Grapevine location quite a bit and kind of know the owners. Pours are typically 1.25 or 1.5 ounces (never bothered to measure.), prices are fine and the specials are good. But they do not like pain in the ass people. You get in a fight, you're getting banned. You get wasted and cause a scene, you're out and getting the cops called if you try to drive. If you're a jerk to the staff, they'll toss ya. Best bet is the person replying knows which person complaining about pours is writing the review and is happy to keep them from coming back.

There is no racism,  People claimed that because when they first opened their dress code prohibited pants not pulled up correctly, no one wants to see someone's ass/boxers, no matter the color of their skin. and other gang related clothing styles.  Because some of the ban was more popular with certain people then others, it was viewed as racist. to be clear white guys wearing sagging pants to let others guys know they are open for business would be dress coded as quickly as a black or hispanic man wearing the same style,  While it is a full bar it is also a restaurant where families eat with their kids so they try to make sure the bar part doesn't ruin the restaurant part. I tend to stick with IPA's no I can't tell you how weak theirs mix drinks are or are not There are some raging alcoholics that are always going to complain the drinks are weak no matter what.

Reply

[-]

8020GroundBeef@reddit

Never been to this place, but that is an extremely common way that racist bar owners run business. Those dress codes are the way that bars keep out people they don’t want to serve. They are generally selectively enforced. And the defense of those policies is “no baggy pants or gang stuff”, but that’s not really where the line is drawn usually. Been to a few places like this with friends who are POC and was shocked when they got rejected and I didn’t even though we were wearing basically the same clothes

Reply

[-]

gvineq@reddit

The ban wasn't on baggy pants it was the having the pants blow the ass showing 100% of underwear.  funny how requiring a tie or jacket isn't racist but saying pants need to be wore properly is. I personally have zero desire to see any guy showing off his ass, especially where food is being served.  people feel that is unfairly treating people of 1 race then maybe the problem is something they need to fix? To me it's no different then no shirt, no shoes no service.

Reply

[-]

8020GroundBeef@reddit

I think you might be misunderstanding? Just saying that dress codes themselves are not racist, but they are often used as tools by racist bar owners. So it doesn’t really make sense to disprove racism by the reasonableness of those policies - you could have a perfectly reasonable policy that’s enforced inconsistently so as to target POCs. Or the racist reputation could have arisen through other events totally unrelated to the dress code. What’s in the dress code is pretty much irrelevant. But it does seem a little weird to me that they explicitly had to state that. Just kinda begs the question of what instigated it. All that said, I’ve never even heard of this place before today. I don’t really care. Just seems like a stretch to claim absolutely that “there is no racism” there. I mean I don’t experience any racism anywhere on my own, but I have seen it second hand when I’m with friends who are POC. So it’s just something that is really difficult to disprove.

Me and two friends constantly go to the one in Grapevine. That's two black guys and one hispanic. Never once had any issues there. You've never been there, but they're racist? It's crazy, but I see other minorities that work and go there. I don't work there, I have no reason to defend the place, but the dress-code=racism argument is weird. I'm sure there are places where "baggy pants=black people, so no baggy pants." But I think a lot of places really just don't want pants below the bottom.

Reply

[-]

8020GroundBeef@reddit

I’m not saying that “dress code = racism” at all. I’ve just seen it used as a tool to deny entry to a couple of my friends in the past. At one of those places, part of the dress code was “No sports wear and no shoes with laces”. Well they didn’t give a shit if you were white and wore shoes with laces - I had been there before with sneakers and didn’t even know about the dress code until they enforced it on my friend (Asian) and it was a pretty weird situation. That place had a bit of a reputation for racism too. Another time it was “no shorts”. I got in with shorts, my friend (Black) didn’t. So no, dress code isn’t racist, but I’ve seen it used selectively in the past for what seemed to be racist motives.

Well, then that's obviously racism. I guess i misunderstood your post. And honestly, I don't even know why I'm on here defending Chill. I usually only use reddit for video game stuff, but this popped up this morning 😆. It's really not the best place in the world, I was only saying based on my own experience, they don't turn away people based on skin color. If they did, they would lose half of their business. And there are better places in the same area. But yeah, I get what you're saying 👍

gvineq@reddit

Just to add, the racism dress code thing started before they opened as the posted the code on the front door someone took a pic of it an posted it on line citing racism. I've been there dozens of times the only person I ever saw kicked out was a hispanic guy that lived near by and who was so drunk he puked on his pizza Lewisville PD were there eating so they were trying to get drunk guy out through the patio so the police wouldn't get involved. According to the bartender, drunk guy was a bartender at a nearby restaurant who lived nearby and came in all the time. Because he didn't drive, got drunk at home and didn't cause problems/fights/etc they would just ask him to leave if he showed up too wasted, I've never seen anyone dress coded. I don't think asking men to properly wear their pants has racist or too much to ask though, I don't go around looking to be offended so I might have missed something, I doubt it though as I typically sit at the bar closet to the door, I would notice if someone was protesting being asked to leave. I do recommend Oscar's chicken: grilled chicken breast with pesto, grilled onions and bacon,  The pizzas not bad either despite homeboy throwing up on his

Multiple of the regulars have zoomed in photos of the servers in their swimsuits saved on their phone. Many of the 55+ y/o regulars have offered servers high tips for sex. Put up with a lot of blatant sexual harassment and management did nothing. Super trashy. I quit after 2 weeks.

The other thing is most bartenders I've known go to other bars for a drink, not Chili's. Maybe a Applebee's if they know someone because they do have cheap ass drinks.

I’d have given awards if a) they still existed and b) you’d also reviewed the skillet queso or chicken crispers.

Chili's definitely still exists if that's what you are talking about.

I went to the Chill in Lewisville a couple of times for lunch because it is near my work. We sat at the bar, it was not packed, but still took a while to get service. Bartenders too busy checking their Instagram and playing on their phones. Love the atmosphere of the bar, but very disappointed in the service.

The place is next to Music City Mall in an old TGI Fridays. What did you expect?

I've never been to the one in Lewisville, but the one in Grapevine is fine. Never had an issue there. In fact, we're trying to decide where to meet up before the game today, and Chill is on the list.

If you are single and looking, that is the price that you pay. I can take a bottle of Vodka home and be very happy, for 1/3 of the cost.

I know that, but the goal here is to visit with friends to watch the Cowboys as I don't have cable. I know going out is expensive. I'm trying to determine if I should spend money here.

Cable is a lot cheaper than going to bars every week! ;)

I wasn't asking for reviews on how to watch sports, I was asking if anyone knows this place

It’s a LOT harder to sail the seven seas for live sports with a DVR on a TV is all I’m saying too. If it were for that, I’d probably not have cable. Plus the ability to watch 4 games at one time with instant sound choices.

Hook a pc up to the tv. Wash hands.

They were a client of mine when I sold ads for the Observer back in 2009ish and can confirm he's one of those fellas that comes across as super laid back and down to earth but is a fucking dick inside - writing checks for ads that bounced knowing that would be the case

I’ve been to the Lewisville location once for a quick drink. It was like any other bar that tried to out do themselves without to sexualize their wait staff ex. hooters, twin peaks, ojos locos etc.

It’s been years, but used to go to the one in Grapevine. It was fine, no issues. Granted, unless someone insists I rarely order shots, so don’t recall the volume in the shot glasses.

Chill is fine. I wouldn’t worry. In theory every place has their ways. Cost saving correct pours maybe is theirs. Really it’s chill, BJ’s, or BWW right there. I’d rather go… chill.
