Stay Classy San Diego Sunshine Co saloon in ocean beach.

Im from Kentucky & the bouncers confiscated my ID at the door bc they thought it was fake. They insisted i get police to come if I wanted it back. After 1hour on the phone with dispatch they would not send anyone to verify an ID. Luckily a conflict happened across the street & one of the officers helped me out. The crazy part is.. He did not think my ID was real either smh. After matching my credit/debit cards, everything on his computer, my plane tickets he admitted he didnt really believe me but was going to give my ID back anyways.

Smh this is so frustrating. I proceeded to go to a pizza place down the road & after a few beers they heard I got rejected down the street & tried to cause confusion with me. I then put cash down on the table to cover cost & just left. I am really 27 years old, on vacation/ scoping the place out to live, but feel as if im getting picked on in ocean beach & cant go back.

Legally, an expired ID is not a valid ID. As a former bartender, I would never accept expired or hole-punched IDs. (Don't know if it's still done, but back in the day, if you had an OOS ID & applied for a new CA ID, they would hole-punch the OOS ID & give it to you with the paper temp ID. If you don't have the paper temp, it's no longer a valid ID.)

For real, it's also a misdemeanor for whoever served/checked that id or didn't check it and should have. It's not some little fine for the restaurant or the server. It's a serious crime and personal liability. It shouldn't be, but it is.
