White Horse Inn

Summer Spain

I absolutely love this place. I just discovered this place a couple of months ago. The staff are very friendly, music is great, drinks are good! I plan to have my birthday there this weekend and I cant wait! <3 Definitely check this place out and show them some love!

The place is usually lovely and we always have a great time. However, yesterday one of the bartenders (a tall, bearded white guy) was rude beyond belief, even mocking us on the microphone for not getting things because we were “Mexican… or European, or Canadian.” Here’s what happened: I had gone to the bar past the last call and asked him if we still had time for one last round. He said yes and served us 4 drinks. Literally one minute later the dance floor was closing, so I approached him and said “hey you literally just told me we had time for a drink, can we at least stay around the bar?”. The guy started mocking me saying that the bar was closing too and that I could finish my drink at home or in my bed, that nothing was preventing me from doing that. When I asked him if he was for real he started saying it was our problem, not his, and mocking me in a very loud voice “You are such a drama queen. What will you do? Will you want to speak to my manager? Do we have a Karen here?” I stopped engaging with that guy, but my friends approached him to say that he had just sold us drinks knowing the bar was closing, to which the guy responded with something equally rude (along the lines of “I don’t care, I’ll soon leave and open a ranch in Indiana”) and by grabbing the mic and saying to the whole bar in a mocking tone: “in case you are Mexican, or European, or Canadian [he must have noticed our Spanish accents] last call means L.A.S.T.C.A.L.L.” At this point we were really frustrated and just wanted to give the guy a hard time for his quasi-racist comment, so we asked him for covers for our drinks if they were indeed “to go”. The bar obviously doesn’t have them and is in fact unable to legally sell drinks to go. In the end, we just left with our drinks in our hands and very frustrated. Again, the bar is usually lovey, but this guy completely ruined it for us with his unbelievably rude comments.

The Irish & Brits use a turn of phrase, It's my "local." It serves as the only LGBT pub and nightclub venue for the Berkeley/Emeryville/Rockridge region - so you are guarranteed a ready mix of folks. Add to that the sometime thrust of some young randy band, neighborhood denizens, and various non-gay eclectic or eccentric personages and you have a microcosm of Berkeley nostalgic for the sixties. Pool tables [2] in use. Smokers find helpful accomodation sorta outside tho not exiled. Seems esp popular with the core group of convivial smart local cognoscenti when Captain [Katherine] is at the helm for early evening types like me... it get very popular w the young late w lots of everybody and dancing....sometimes the bands are rather loud and grating.

I really do enjoy going to this bar. I started going here sometime in undergrad with friends and it always brings up a nostalgic. Happy feeling for me. On any night. There's something fun for you to do. There's a smoking area that has an outside component so if you enjoy being in that kind of smoke area you have somewhere to stand and sit and chill. My friends and I recently went to relax on a Friday after a hectic week and saw an episode of RuPaul, it was really fun to watch in a full bar with everyone commenting and enjoying themselves. We later hit the dance floor and were there way past what we discussed simply because we were having so much fun. Also, being that the Bay area is small and yet vast, we saw a lot of friends from high school. All in all, I highly recommend going just for the energy
