I used to live nearby and have been a few times. It's a cop bar/old man bar, not interesting in the slightest. They had a camera out front so that you had to show your face before they'd unlock the door. Rumor was so that it would keep out a....certain clientele. Dunno if that's still the case.

Yeah, I tried to go there once years ago with a black friend who lived nearby and they "mysteriously" wouldn't let us in. A few weeks later my white friends got in just fine...

This happened to a friend of mine as well. Me and a friend (both white) had no issue getting in, but then my buddy and his wife walked up to a locked door shortly after.

If they did let black people in the cops would just feel threatened and shoot them.

We went there for shits and giggles a few years ago and my husband (who is not white) had a very very uncomfortable time. He said he got the stink eye from everyone else around

That is no longer true. The door is always open.
