Kent State PSA · Downtown Kent, OH
The patron was 21, with the ID to prove it — and Brewhouse still found a way to make it their problem. Here's exactly what went down, and why they're never pregaming there again.

The rundown
What actually happened
No embellishment — the sequence of events, so you can decide for yourself what it looks like.
They're over 21 and had their real ID on hand. Door staff checked it and stamped their hand with the under-21 mark. They figured it was a mistake — that stuff happens.
Ordered drinks like it was any other Friday. Bartender served them — alcohol and all — with the under-21 stamp sitting right there on their hand the whole time.
Later on, somebody finally noticed the stamp. Their drinks got pulled off the bar, zero refund, and they got walked straight out.
Their take
The same door that marked them as a minor is the same bar that kept pouring. Make it make sense.
They're not about to pretend they can read minds — they don't know what anybody was thinking. But they know what happened to their hand and their wallet: they paid for drinks they never got to finish, over a mistake that wasn't theirs, and walked away with nothing to show for it.

Scene of the crime
For anyone who still wants to risk it, or just wants to know exactly which door to avoid.
Not to scale — just enough to find the door you should skip
Also known around campus as one of the only downtown bars that lets under-21 students in, so a decent chunk of you have probably already got a story kind of like this one.
