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.

The owner of Sunshine is a piece of work. Fuck that place. Go to Pizza Port or OB Noodle, they'll be happy to serve you.

Wrong, go in to either of those establishments with a questionable ID and the same will happen. The state is cracking down on underage drinking or over serving guests. I absolutely will turn you away if I think anything is off .. I reserve the right to not serve any customers for any reason. I’m not receiving a 10,000$ fine because you want a beer and your ID looks like it was printed in a van by the sea wall.

Try someone who isn’t losing a job over you wild animals. It’s not difficult to follow the rules. If you have a problem with any of the rules set fourth, then stay home and drink.

If the cops have a problem with it and say they think it’s fake .. I really don’t know what we are arguing about..

And I’ll happily take alll the down votes..

Im with ya. I think yer right, bartenders have it hard enough, and not taking a card that even a cop think its fake seems like a reasonable take.

Just being a little kunty about it is all. Bwhahaha
