I love hood bars, as nerdy, socially awkward, "different" I can be, I've never experienced any real problems in hood bars/clubs and I've done some straight up crazy disrespectful shit.
When you put a social establishment in a neighborhood full of people stricken by poverty, serve them alcohol, egos are gonna clash. Hell, there are some dudes who go to these clubs just to start shit. I shouldn't have to worry about stepping on someone shoes or looking at them the wrong way. I'll take my ass somewhere else, I love life too much.
