On Saturday night(6/27/09), my friend and I attempted to enter the establishment. To our surprise the doorman (Kenneth?) would not allow us to enter. We were told that my friend's jeans were too baggy. Keep in mind he had on a dress shirt and hard bottom shoes. Others before and after us had on attire that would not clasify as casual (shorts, sandles, and even similar jeans). We noticed that most of the people that were turned away that night, including ourselves, were not caucasian. The doorman could not explain the dress policy and would not allow us to talk to the manager to express our concerns. I admitt that conversation got intense after expressing our viewpoint. However, it was obvious that Loft 610 screens their patrons based on the color of their skin. People of color are allowed to enter, but on a limited basis. We thought maybe we were over reacting, but after talking on the phone with the manager (Chad??) it was clear that Loft 610 does not have the best interest of all patrons. Lessons learned is to spend your money in places that are inclusive to all professionals! Loft 610 does not fall into that category!!!!!
Pros: None
