The name of the place is “bald kitty”, and it’s being alleged older guys are trying to hit up younger women there…. Maybe I’m juvenile but anyone else struck by that irony?
I got downvoted into oblivion for asking OP that she didn't see the pun. Like hello? Reminds me of being 24 and being invited to a club called the Cockpit in Austin then being hysterically overwhelmed walking up to it and seeing a rainbow painted on the side thinking it was just aviation themed. Like yeah, we're all oblivious at that age.
Before I looked up the location I was thinking you were posting about the weird after hours place on the other side of I-10 close to Last Concert Cafe.
It was an old house, no signage or anything just completely illegal speakeasy/party house. I remember hearing that it burned down? Either way it’s been gone since 2016 and now there’s a LCC parking lot there. No idea if we’re talking about the same place, maybe there’s a new weird place by LCC.
It was at 1503 Nance if you wanna look at google street view from pre-2015
The place I’m referencing is new, first noticed it sometime within the past year and it was operating as recently as New Year’s. It’s at or near 1315 Nance.
And you were an adult at the time and you are perfectly capable of knowing it was illegal for you to be there in the first place. But go on, pretend that you were just an innocent little kid who had no idea what she was doing.
there are plenty of things i’ve accepted that i now know are wrong. like ignoring shit head blamers like you. they committed a crime of serving us alcohol we did not ask for. it’s on them.
yeah it’s crazy how the person whom agrees with me is a bartender and is saying it’s predatory ! thank you for the support and i hope to bring awareness to how predatory the clubbing scene is with freshly legal women and even minors !
Based on what. So you just came to randomly rant about bad things being bad? People stealing from people is bad also! We should not be doing that! Is that how I do it?
nowhere did i say anyone was drugged, just how i thought it was weird my friend left their facility and started spewing which was concerning since no one else was effected like that. hope u never have a daughter who is victimized and decides to not tell u bc of weirdos like you who shame people for not speaking up when things first happen. i hope you reflect on this sentiment.
not sure, but considering it took me 2 years to say something, i’m pretty sure it’s likely. lots of young people don’t realize this is weird behavior, like i didn’t, so id like to think there’s others who share similar sentiments
i know i did. no matter what we wanted, they should’ve been the mature people in the situation considering they were probably 20 years out senior. and don’t blame yourself for being drugged, in any capacity, it is not your fault someone decided to take advantage of you.
this is a highly regarded club in the area, not just some hole in the wall my guy. they have over 25k followers on instagram. what i would expect now is them to decline or get better staff who decide to let in underage girls. ESPECIALLY in an after hours scenario. i wasn’t comfortable going in but let my guard down since my friend seemed to really wanna be there.
not saying it doesn’t come with the territory, but starting off a sentence with “i’m not victim blaming but” is reductive when a highly regarded club should not be letting in and serving underage girls. point blank period.
don’t know what to say here my guy. they have over 25k followers on instagram and a lot of well known performers in the scene play here. sounds like it to me.
what 18 year old is gonna make a clear decision. bet ur one of the people to tell a 9 year old she can carry a child lmao. the fully grown adults in the situation know that like fucking duh.
Notify the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission (TABC) they will be treat it as an anonymous tip and investigate or do a sting operation with local pd to check and verify if it is still happening and if it is the place will get raided.
Obviously its predatory but it is weird you mention it now that you let it run its course and accepted the fruit of it.
This is just weird to me as someone who didn't grow up in the US because for some reason the US is the only place where you can think the later drinking age means you don't have responsibility for still acting like an adult from 18-21.
I get you were under the age of drinking but come on now you were a grown adult who could literally fight for your country but you didn't think what you were doing/participating in was wrong?
Them being predatory and you being a participant in the crime and actively enjoying its fruits can both be true.
You also shouldn't attempt to be in a place you're not supposed to be. It makes you more susceptible to bad things happening.
The men, vibes and experiences you're sneaking to get will be there when you're 21.
This comment section is deranged lmao. If this post wasn’t made less than an hour ago I’d have assumed bald kitty employees or regulars are trolling in here.
I’m glad only escalated to creepy advances and nothing much worse. Stay safe out there
thank you !! yeah i’m not taking any of these ppl seriously since they seem to be far gone misogynistic men who can’t comprehend what’s a crime and that hitting on freshly 18 year olds is weird.
I don't think there's a place in Houston by the name "Bald Kitty." Must be wrong city, hence probably no employees or regulars since there's no such establishment.
Underaged like below 18? Or below 21 but above 18? Still not a good look either way but obviously one is way worse than the other
When I was a freshman in high school, I had a friend who said she would often go to this one bar and drink there. She's a year younger than me so it's wild to me that they allowed that. They can't even say that they thought she looked like an adult
we were all freshly 18-19. and they knew that since the bouncer knew we were underage but still let us in and gave us alcohol and hit on my friend knowing she was probably 20 years younger than him. sorry about your friend too :/ we obviously were teenagers too :(
correction. my friend was a teenager being hit on by a 30 something year old man who was supplying us alcohol at a well known club, which the alcohol part is a crime here in texas fyi. yes it is creepy to hit on fresh adults as a 30 something year old man ryan.
Yeah and fyi it’s also a crime to try and purchase and consume alcohol as an underage person.
It’s interesting (aka sad and mindboggling) that you are alleviating yourself of all personal responsibility and wrongdoing here, and trying to put it all on the establishment.
Ryan is a known pedant. It is creepy but not illegal.
Side note, please don't lump all age gaps into the creepy territory. I was 19 when I met my husband, we've been together since 2001 and have a 10 year age gap. It's pretty disheartening to hear the general public dismiss him as a creep or pedo.
You know plenty of places have a drinking age below 21 right? Like I believes it actually more common to be less than 21. You’re just circle jerking. Like your little world isn’t the end all be all. Is every Canadian morally wrong ?
There are plenty of things I think about at 39 that mean something completely different than when they happened. Like the time an old man gave me $5 to sit on his lap on a school event in 2nd grade.
we didn’t go there to drink buddy. we went there to dance. they gave us alcohol when we didn’t ask for it and even at the time we were all like wtf. so yeah. they broke their rules to give us something we never asked for.
So you go to a bar even though you’re not 21, knowing full well you are breaking the law yourself (or maybe not, you seem pretty clueless), and then come on here and out them for serving people who aren’t of age? I mean you do realize it’s illegal for them to sell it to you, AND illegal for you to try and purchase and consume it? And now, TWO YEARS later, you’re narcing on them?
yeah i am. news flash teens w impressionable minds don’t realize things are weird until you reflect on them for a long time. and it’s not a bar it’s a club that knew we weren’t 21 but still let us in, even though i mostly wanted to go home but didn’t wanna leave my other girlfriends alone in an after hours club. im not clueless you asshole, i’m someone who has healed and realized that places that do this need to be shut down. not putting aside my actions, but like really ?? any fucking teenager is gonna drink alcohol whether you like it or not. the difference is who’s serving it to them. club staff supplying us with alcohol when we didn’t ask them is weird and predatory behavior. weird how ur blaming a teenager and not the fully grown developed men.
Yes you stated that the bouncer checked your ID. But as far as I’m aware Bald Kitty is 21+. So it’s safe for the staff to assume everyone inside is 21+. So what I am asking is that did only the bouncer check your ID when you came in? Because typically in venues like these once you’re inside your ID will not be checked again. If only the bouncer checked your ID, it cannot be said that the staff gave you alcohol knowing you were a minor. But if they also checked your ID before handing drinks and saw then yes the staff inside is complicit. Which is why I’m asking for clarification
true, but apparently this is not the only time this has happened as stated in the comments with an incident happening the same year. shouldn’t they be more idk wary ?? idk but the bouncer was weird regardless
Girl I’m so sorry the comments are being so weird wtf… that’s weird as hell behavior from the bouncer, and I’m sorry that happened to y’all. Thank you for posting about it <3
Super shady of them to be giving underage people alcohol, not to mention just plain stupid because they’d get their liquor license revoked for that QUICK lol. You could prob report them to TABC..
Ooo I’m not sure, but it looks like a pretty easy process! I just googled “report business to TABC” and their complaint form came up. You can also search old reports and it looks like they had one filed against them in 2024 too for selling to minors lmao. And you can report anonymously!
There’s multiple bars that do this. They rather have the sale than the potential of being caught. I was 18 and told bartenders I was under age and they still pushed shooters my way after denial and honesty about my age. This was all female bartenders too.
yeah actually. i was not of legal age to accept alcohol from men who were well above legal age, a $4,000 crime actually. hope u realize this when u have kids. any therapist would tell u this.
Why would you accept alcohol from someone you don’t know and then turn around and blame them for giving you alcohol that you could’ve declined? I’m not supporting creepy ass dudes but I also don’t support acting like a dumb teenaged girl when you have full autonomy to say no I don’t want a drink. Clearly you and your friend knew you were underaged, right?
are we serious right now. they literally put their license at risk by serving teenagers which are going to accept alcohol ( like most teens would). clearly bald kitty knew we were underaged, right ??
Imma hold your hand when I say this…YOU CAN SAY NO!!! If you really went there just to dance why tf would you take alcohol from a stranger knowing good and damn well that it was illegal?! As someone who actually DID go to clubs just to dance at 18, I had the good sense God gave me to not accept anything from anyone. I also only drank bottled water that I bought at the bar myself. It’s not excusing that they are serving underage but you act like you have zero responsibility to yourself. You knew you were underaged and you accepted a drink. And no hun, not every teenager feels the need to drink alcohol. Pro tip: You’re your first line of defense babe.
we took alcohol from staff. and if saying no was as easy as you say it is, we would be free from predatory ppl like you so obviously are. u act like you’d never gone along with what your friends are doing before ?? never did something you knew was unsafe looking back and have the grace to know that the people in charge should be never let us in in the first place ?? obviously not. imma hold ur hand when i say this but the staff should’ve never let us in and put their alcohol license at risk for four underage girls that they were obviously trying to take advantage of (hence the bouncer hitting on my friend 20 years his junior). you defend crimes like this everyday orrrr ??
the scandal here ryan is that grown men should not be supplying 18 year olds with alcohol when we didn’t even ask for it. it’s a crime which is a scandal.
Above it’s clear you knew you were consuming alcohol. Now you’re trying to twist the narrative to make it look like they were drugging you.
If you’re an adult and someone gives you alcohol, and you know it’s alcohol, and you choose to drink it….. that’s 100% on you. You made a choice. You could have just as easily turned it down.
You add an adult committed a crime by knowingly consuming alcohol while under 21. They didn’t hide the alcohol. They made it available (which is wrong) and you as a legal adult chose to take it and consume it.
"It was cool and fun when I got to do it, but now that its not cool and fun for me anymore and I'm not the one getting that type of attention from these men, it's actually really weird and bad that they let other girls do it"
Lol you realize this has been a normal thing for girls that age everywhere else in the world for a long time and will continue to be normal? Ever stopped to think how other countries like Germany have a legal drinking age of 18 and they are somehow able to function just fine? Must be that girls are smarter or more mature over there or something /s
notice how we don’t live everywhere else lol. i e also been given alcohol underage in europe as little as 13 years old. grown men should know better regardless of region to not give people alcohol if they are not of legal age.
Lol yes lets just blame it all on men like there aren't women bar owners and tenders that gladly do the same thing, just because you chose to be irresponsible and now feel like blaming your own lack of responsibility on others. But yes you go ahead and enjoy that moral high ground ig?
People are allowed to grow and mature. Recognizing predatory behavior and calling it out to protect others is mature. Being young and naive is not a crime but the innocence of youth is easily exploited.
Some could see it as exploitation, others could see it as people just being nice and letting young people enjoy a fun night out with their friends?
Sounds like OP had a fun time and made it home perfectly safe. Now shes not okay with other people having a fun time like she got to because obviously it was all actually for exploitation and she just didn't realize it until now.
Guess everyone in other countries where legal drinking age is 16 is being exploited by their governments
I said nothing about a government exploiting anyone. But in OPs situation the bouncer clearly had motives, the bar owner knowing it would bring in others had at least a financial incentive to look the other way. That’s exploitative and predatory. It’s certainly not altruistic.
thank you !! also i wanna point out they let us in for free. so they weren’t even making a profit out of letting us in which is, in my opinion, even weirder !!!
You can outgrow your bad decisions. They’re still young and they’re still learning and maturing. They realize what they thought was cool was super creepy.
You can outgrow bad decisions, you can also learn to take responsibility for your own decisions at a younger age instead of just playing dumb until the time is right to blame that lack of responsibility on others. Like I said above, somehow other countries have figured it out? Guess girls in the states are just extra special
They’re still under 21. They just got to a point where they thought giving liquor to 18 year olds is odd. They have already acknowledged they shouldn’t have been drinking like that.
The older people should have the knowledge not to do that. What other countries are doing isn’t relevant here.
If you’re in your 30s and giving liquor to and hitting on barely legal teens you’re a weirdo. That’s just odd.
Why wouldnt what other countries are doing be relevant here? Are they different humans? Are their cultures better at teaching their children how to take responsibility for their actions? Are the men over there less creepy or they have less weirdos? Are we a nation of mentally slow people that need longer time to mature and figure out how the world works than them?
Now you're saying that not only is giving them alcohol weird, but that if youre an adult flirting with another adult thats weird? Or are 18 years olds not considered adults for the sake of your argument? Like there aren't entire industries full of 18 year olds out there selling their bodies to strangers, making millions of dollars on things like onlyfans, exploiting this very same dynamic for their own benefit. Bit of a double standard don't you think?
You're an adult. Only in the states is it an issue for you to drink at 18. The rest of the world either has no minimum age or its 16-18, really not that big a deal.
my boyfriend sitting right next to me is loling. glad he’s not a pussy baby man like you. and fyi, we don’t live in other countries and have different laws which we should abide by when it comes to allowing underage people to drink in places that have active liquor licenses btw.
Funny, that's typical boomer behavior, outgrow the fun; then pull the ladder up behind you as you don't need it. I'm not saying what they are doing is right, but it's suspicious how you notice this just as you turn old enough to not need outlets like it. If it really bothers you, file a complaint with TABC, as they shouldn't be doing this anyways, but shame on you for enjoying it while it lasts only to cast shade on them as soon as you no longer need them. Also, your grammar is all over the place, it is very hard to understand you.
This comment is so far off it screams "I'm 15" (or younger). It's completely normal and a sign of maturity to realize that things you did, places you went, or people you knew weren't actually cool they were dangerous and predatory as you get older. Give it a few years and hopefully you will realize the same thing. It's not "typical boomer behavior" nor is it "pulling the ladder up behind you". It's growing up, maturing, and your brain developing.
Ew that’s so predator, I wonder if there’s a way to report them. When I went it was not a good vibe, people were just standing around and no one was dancing, but I didn’t realize this was going on
The overwhelming majority of these comments are fucked up.
I’m no simp and I don’t mind pounding out a younger woman, but what was described is clearly predatory behavior and a very believable situation.
A lot of men in the comments are saying it’s “Buyer Beware” because it said “Bald Kitty,” but they wouldn’t have guessed it referred to minors rather than a shaven pussy.
News Flash: 18 to 20 year olds (both male and female) tolerate risky behavior if you entice them with free “candy” shots. That’s not an excuse to get them drunk and take advantage of them.
Even if a woman is over 21 and chose to have too much to drink, it doesn’t mean it’s open season for men to scout for the sloppiest drunk woman at a club/party.
The comments are giving off Frustrated Incel vibes.
The name of the place is “bald kitty”, and it’s being alleged older guys are trying to hit up younger women there…. Maybe I’m juvenile but anyone else struck by that irony?
I got downvoted into oblivion for asking OP that she didn't see the pun. Like hello? Reminds me of being 24 and being invited to a club called the Cockpit in Austin then being hysterically overwhelmed walking up to it and seeing a rainbow painted on the side thinking it was just aviation themed. Like yeah, we're all oblivious at that age.
it’s ironic but no matter what the name of your club is, you shouldn’t be predatory or serve alcohol to people who can’t legally drink it.
Totally it’s just like- damn they really were that blatant about that shit.
Best place to hide is often in plain sight.
I looked up the place’s address and was surprised to see how close it is to me. Kind of a weird location for a club.
FYI - the UH-Downtown Police station is real close to that area and campus security call boxes are even closer.
oh definitely. it’s like hidden in a warehouse right off the freeway which is already shady enough. thanks for the info though !!
Before I looked up the location I was thinking you were posting about the weird after hours place on the other side of I-10 close to Last Concert Cafe.
The Ponderosa?
I’ve never noticed any signage around it. But they do have a couple port a potties set up on the lot across from where their door is
It was an old house, no signage or anything just completely illegal speakeasy/party house. I remember hearing that it burned down? Either way it’s been gone since 2016 and now there’s a LCC parking lot there. No idea if we’re talking about the same place, maybe there’s a new weird place by LCC.
It was at 1503 Nance if you wanna look at google street view from pre-2015
The place I’m referencing is new, first noticed it sometime within the past year and it was operating as recently as New Year’s. It’s at or near 1315 Nance.
And you were an adult at the time and you are perfectly capable of knowing it was illegal for you to be there in the first place. But go on, pretend that you were just an innocent little kid who had no idea what she was doing.
And yet you accepted it knowing it was wrong
there are plenty of things i’ve accepted that i now know are wrong. like ignoring shit head blamers like you. they committed a crime of serving us alcohol we did not ask for. it’s on them.
And you
and ur mom
That’s not irony - it’s the opposite of it
Which is? I don’t know either
Wait….it’s called “Bald Kitty?!”
That seems like a pretty good warning right there.
Sounds more like the name of a byob all nude strip club
Predatory beyond belief and they aren’t the only business doing the same unfortunately. I’ve witnessed A LOT of strange things in my time bartending.
yeah it’s crazy how the person whom agrees with me is a bartender and is saying it’s predatory ! thank you for the support and i hope to bring awareness to how predatory the clubbing scene is with freshly legal women and even minors !
Nothing in this post is about minors, you’re stretching the story now to grasp at relevance
notice how i put “and even”. look up shit on the internet abt how clubs exploit minors since i know you have the time.
Based on what. So you just came to randomly rant about bad things being bad? People stealing from people is bad also! We should not be doing that! Is that how I do it?
Feeling attacked?
Please stop telling the world you are attracted to teenagers.
Great thing about teenagers is you get older but they stay the same age.
Ahh yes. You just learned like the rest of us. 18 and up sound fun when you’re 18.
After you’re 21 you’re like “who’s letting the dang kids in here.
crazy thing is bald kitty is 21+
Where is it?
Refreshing to hear actually from a younger person. I thought this place was supposed to be the new “it” place. Sorry that happened to your friend!
thank you for being serious with me ! it means a lot. :)
[deleted]
as a woman you are embarrassing
Nah, I didn’t wait 2 years to talk about the potential for women to be being drugged.
nowhere did i say anyone was drugged, just how i thought it was weird my friend left their facility and started spewing which was concerning since no one else was effected like that. hope u never have a daughter who is victimized and decides to not tell u bc of weirdos like you who shame people for not speaking up when things first happen. i hope you reflect on this sentiment.
dont let anyone tell you shit queen you seem very intelligent 🫶🏻 im glad yall are safe!
Hm, something is better than nothing.
Are they still doing it?
not sure, but considering it took me 2 years to say something, i’m pretty sure it’s likely. lots of young people don’t realize this is weird behavior, like i didn’t, so id like to think there’s others who share similar sentiments
that's shitty that they are doing shady things, but hopefully you and your friends learned a valuable lesson.
i'm not trying to victim blame, but there are shitty, terrible, predatory people everywhere. Always try and consider your context of anything you do.
I say this as a cis white male that has been drugged in similar circumstances when I was making decisions that my gut told me wasn't quite right.
i know i did. no matter what we wanted, they should’ve been the mature people in the situation considering they were probably 20 years out senior. and don’t blame yourself for being drugged, in any capacity, it is not your fault someone decided to take advantage of you.
there's something a DPS officer told me once when I was starting to drive
"there are plenty of people in the morgue that had the 'right of way'"
"they should have been more mature" is an incredibly immature way of approaching any interaction.
"well the billionaires should be more benevolent with the their money" doesn't mean they are going to be.
again, I am not victim blaming here, but you went to a sketchy location and got a sketchy result. Comes with the territory.
this is a highly regarded club in the area, not just some hole in the wall my guy. they have over 25k followers on instagram. what i would expect now is them to decline or get better staff who decide to let in underage girls. ESPECIALLY in an after hours scenario. i wasn’t comfortable going in but let my guard down since my friend seemed to really wanna be there.
not saying it doesn’t come with the territory, but starting off a sentence with “i’m not victim blaming but” is reductive when a highly regarded club should not be letting in and serving underage girls. point blank period.
a "highly regarded" bar wouldn't be serving minors, my guy.
don’t know what to say here my guy. they have over 25k followers on instagram and a lot of well known performers in the scene play here. sounds like it to me.
don't know what to tell you my guy, but instagram numbers (that are easily bought and sold) does not make a legitimate business.
you said you and your friends were clearly underaged and were served booze (not great to admit to crimes openly online by the way)
I appreciate the warning, but I also don't appreciate your dumbassery
You said you were 18-19 at the time. Not old enough to drink but a legal adult capable of making adult decisions.
what 18 year old is gonna make a clear decision. bet ur one of the people to tell a 9 year old she can carry a child lmao. the fully grown adults in the situation know that like fucking duh.
Notify the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission (TABC) they will be treat it as an anonymous tip and investigate or do a sting operation with local pd to check and verify if it is still happening and if it is the place will get raided.
Obviously its predatory but it is weird you mention it now that you let it run its course and accepted the fruit of it.
This is just weird to me as someone who didn't grow up in the US because for some reason the US is the only place where you can think the later drinking age means you don't have responsibility for still acting like an adult from 18-21.
I get you were under the age of drinking but come on now you were a grown adult who could literally fight for your country but you didn't think what you were doing/participating in was wrong?
Them being predatory and you being a participant in the crime and actively enjoying its fruits can both be true.
You also shouldn't attempt to be in a place you're not supposed to be. It makes you more susceptible to bad things happening. The men, vibes and experiences you're sneaking to get will be there when you're 21.
where are the women in this sub lmao it’s all unfunny incel dudes in these comments
It’s unfortunate they don’t realize how subscribed to groupthink they are. Thanks for the heads up about the scumbag club at any rate.
Hey hey hey, there are some funny incel dudes too!
This comment section is deranged lmao. If this post wasn’t made less than an hour ago I’d have assumed bald kitty employees or regulars are trolling in here.
I’m glad only escalated to creepy advances and nothing much worse. Stay safe out there
thank you !! yeah i’m not taking any of these ppl seriously since they seem to be far gone misogynistic men who can’t comprehend what’s a crime and that hitting on freshly 18 year olds is weird.
I don't think there's a place in Houston by the name "Bald Kitty." Must be wrong city, hence probably no employees or regulars since there's no such establishment.
I looked it up, and I don’t think it’s been open for very long. When I say, “not open long,” I mean a year. It says it’s in Northside Village.
there is. @baldkittyhouston on instagram
It’s in a weird business strip off of I-10 near Main
Surprised to learn a bar called bald kitty is behaving badly.
Underaged like below 18? Or below 21 but above 18? Still not a good look either way but obviously one is way worse than the other
When I was a freshman in high school, I had a friend who said she would often go to this one bar and drink there. She's a year younger than me so it's wild to me that they allowed that. They can't even say that they thought she looked like an adult
we were all freshly 18-19. and they knew that since the bouncer knew we were underage but still let us in and gave us alcohol and hit on my friend knowing she was probably 20 years younger than him. sorry about your friend too :/ we obviously were teenagers too :(
So you were adults and got hit on by adults. Ok.
correction. my friend was a teenager being hit on by a 30 something year old man who was supplying us alcohol at a well known club, which the alcohol part is a crime here in texas fyi. yes it is creepy to hit on fresh adults as a 30 something year old man ryan.
Yeah and fyi it’s also a crime to try and purchase and consume alcohol as an underage person.
It’s interesting (aka sad and mindboggling) that you are alleviating yourself of all personal responsibility and wrongdoing here, and trying to put it all on the establishment.
Ryan is a known pedant. It is creepy but not illegal.
Side note, please don't lump all age gaps into the creepy territory. I was 19 when I met my husband, we've been together since 2001 and have a 10 year age gap. It's pretty disheartening to hear the general public dismiss him as a creep or pedo.
Pardon the downvotes. The current generation considers themselves helpless minors until 46.
Yikes
You sound like a pedo who frequents the “barely legal” category.
Hate to be a pendant, but barely legal is not pedo.
Men in the comments are so creepy. If the legal age was lowered to 13 men would rejoice
Honestly, I don’t understand why anyone would even voluntarily speak with someone younger than 29. It’s exhausting.
When I was growing up it was kryptonite. The scourge evolves.
Definitely report it to TABC, but my advice is don't try and grow up too fast.
With what happened to your friend I'd worry if there was more than just liquor in that cup.
BREAKING: Older men are perverts! More at 11
duh. just wanted to spread awareness.
So crazy. Text time you’re 18, reconsider where you go
next* and maybe idk tell ur grown ass man counterparts to supply alcohol to 18 year olds and who aren’t even asking for it.
You know plenty of places have a drinking age below 21 right? Like I believes it actually more common to be less than 21. You’re just circle jerking. Like your little world isn’t the end all be all. Is every Canadian morally wrong ?
i live in the us. it’s 21. anywhere else serving alcohol underage should be shut down. period. are you 15 ??
Typical conservative Texan. Blaming violence and abuse on victims
Ah, yes. The 18 year olds with brains that are not fully formed are to blame rather than the men twice their age plying them with alcohol.
My point is. The OP is complaining that she entered a club illegally.
So you went there to drink illegally, but now you're ratting them out for breaking the rules for you? 🤔
There are plenty of things I think about at 39 that mean something completely different than when they happened. Like the time an old man gave me $5 to sit on his lap on a school event in 2nd grade.
🤣
we didn’t go there to drink buddy. we went there to dance. they gave us alcohol when we didn’t ask for it and even at the time we were all like wtf. so yeah. they broke their rules to give us something we never asked for.
So they forced you to drink it?
This has got to be a shitpost, no one is this obtuse.
Only most of reddit, yes. Unfortunately.
ur schizoposting all over this post rn. yawn.
Lmao, you have a lot of growing up to do, kid. You sound truly obtuse.
You just want to blame everyone else for your stupid ass behavior.
"Someone gave me free alcohol and I consumed it but now I'm mad and I'm gonna blame them for my stupid decisions" 🤡
... Oh, my bad. Sorry, I thought you said you guys drank it.
and if we did they are still committing a crime by serving us alcohol, no ??
Lol, you actually drank it??! WTF
fuck were you doing at 18? spending all your free time volunteering in soup kitchens?
Lol
And you’re committing a crime by consuming it.
Did you have no life growing up?
?
So you go to a bar even though you’re not 21, knowing full well you are breaking the law yourself (or maybe not, you seem pretty clueless), and then come on here and out them for serving people who aren’t of age? I mean you do realize it’s illegal for them to sell it to you, AND illegal for you to try and purchase and consume it? And now, TWO YEARS later, you’re narcing on them?
yeah i am. news flash teens w impressionable minds don’t realize things are weird until you reflect on them for a long time. and it’s not a bar it’s a club that knew we weren’t 21 but still let us in, even though i mostly wanted to go home but didn’t wanna leave my other girlfriends alone in an after hours club. im not clueless you asshole, i’m someone who has healed and realized that places that do this need to be shut down. not putting aside my actions, but like really ?? any fucking teenager is gonna drink alcohol whether you like it or not. the difference is who’s serving it to them. club staff supplying us with alcohol when we didn’t ask them is weird and predatory behavior. weird how ur blaming a teenager and not the fully grown developed men.
Really just sounds like it was the bouncer that was the creep maybe you should report that to them tbh
other staff were present and knew we were let in after hours. they literally started playing music for us so we could dance.
Unless they also checked your ID how would they know you’re minors?
they did check id and knew we were all under 21 btw
Yes you stated that the bouncer checked your ID. But as far as I’m aware Bald Kitty is 21+. So it’s safe for the staff to assume everyone inside is 21+. So what I am asking is that did only the bouncer check your ID when you came in? Because typically in venues like these once you’re inside your ID will not be checked again. If only the bouncer checked your ID, it cannot be said that the staff gave you alcohol knowing you were a minor. But if they also checked your ID before handing drinks and saw then yes the staff inside is complicit. Which is why I’m asking for clarification
true, but apparently this is not the only time this has happened as stated in the comments with an incident happening the same year. shouldn’t they be more idk wary ?? idk but the bouncer was weird regardless
I had to read this because of the title
Girl I’m so sorry the comments are being so weird wtf… that’s weird as hell behavior from the bouncer, and I’m sorry that happened to y’all. Thank you for posting about it <3 Super shady of them to be giving underage people alcohol, not to mention just plain stupid because they’d get their liquor license revoked for that QUICK lol. You could prob report them to TABC..
will do !! do you know if they have a limitation limit ? this happened abt 2 years ago and i dont know if it will be taken seriously
Ooo I’m not sure, but it looks like a pretty easy process! I just googled “report business to TABC” and their complaint form came up. You can also search old reports and it looks like they had one filed against them in 2024 too for selling to minors lmao. And you can report anonymously!
This place isn’t highly appreciated, it’s full of gate keepers.
mods please step in on this for real. we should not have this many weirdos defending criminal activity. fucking disappointing.
Hilarious, because you also committed a crime by drinking under the age of 21, regardless of their culpability.
You have some growing up to do.
are you seriously saying im more to blame in this scenario … lmao ! get fucked
There’s multiple bars that do this. They rather have the sale than the potential of being caught. I was 18 and told bartenders I was under age and they still pushed shooters my way after denial and honesty about my age. This was all female bartenders too.
Is this place owned by the same dudes who own Sanman?
No blame on you for accepting alcohol being an adult and knowing it’s illegal?
yeah actually. i was not of legal age to accept alcohol from men who were well above legal age, a $4,000 crime actually. hope u realize this when u have kids. any therapist would tell u this.
Why would you accept alcohol from someone you don’t know and then turn around and blame them for giving you alcohol that you could’ve declined? I’m not supporting creepy ass dudes but I also don’t support acting like a dumb teenaged girl when you have full autonomy to say no I don’t want a drink. Clearly you and your friend knew you were underaged, right?
are we serious right now. they literally put their license at risk by serving teenagers which are going to accept alcohol ( like most teens would). clearly bald kitty knew we were underaged, right ??
Imma hold your hand when I say this…YOU CAN SAY NO!!! If you really went there just to dance why tf would you take alcohol from a stranger knowing good and damn well that it was illegal?! As someone who actually DID go to clubs just to dance at 18, I had the good sense God gave me to not accept anything from anyone. I also only drank bottled water that I bought at the bar myself. It’s not excusing that they are serving underage but you act like you have zero responsibility to yourself. You knew you were underaged and you accepted a drink. And no hun, not every teenager feels the need to drink alcohol. Pro tip: You’re your first line of defense babe.
we took alcohol from staff. and if saying no was as easy as you say it is, we would be free from predatory ppl like you so obviously are. u act like you’d never gone along with what your friends are doing before ?? never did something you knew was unsafe looking back and have the grace to know that the people in charge should be never let us in in the first place ?? obviously not. imma hold ur hand when i say this but the staff should’ve never let us in and put their alcohol license at risk for four underage girls that they were obviously trying to take advantage of (hence the bouncer hitting on my friend 20 years his junior). you defend crimes like this everyday orrrr ??
Did you know you weren’t supposed to drink alcohol? Were you a legal adult?
Hey there buddy, you don’t actually expect her to be responsible for her own actions do you.
You incel, indeed!

well now what ? they were there and they were served to us. even weirder if they were from staff.
and they are very much still open. their instagram is fully active
underage drinking in a bar after hours
How long ago was this?
two years ago and it wasn’t a bar it was a club
Bar and club are basically the same thing, place that sells alcohol.
What is your desired outcome from your post?
girl are u serious ?
I been literally dying to get in and I’m FINNA BE 21 ON THE 27th.
same girl i was so excited 😭 and then i found outttt !! if you do go just be careful. lots of predatory men out there !!
Is it really that difficult to spell or say fixing?
Is it difficult to let people do what they want to do or do you find whimsy in being an ass over something you KNOW you understood?
I mean hello, a place called Bald Kitty? You don't get the pun?
yeah i would hope any club by any name isn’t letting underage women in and supplying them with free alcohol lmao
If you’re almost 21 you’re adults accountable for your own actions.
Where is the scandal here because you’re acting like people over 21 cannot associate with people under 21.
the scandal here ryan is that grown men should not be supplying 18 year olds with alcohol when we didn’t even ask for it. it’s a crime which is a scandal.
Now you’re changing your story…
Above it’s clear you knew you were consuming alcohol. Now you’re trying to twist the narrative to make it look like they were drugging you.
If you’re an adult and someone gives you alcohol, and you know it’s alcohol, and you choose to drink it….. that’s 100% on you. You made a choice. You could have just as easily turned it down.
You can make your own choices.
yeah and i chose to not go back to a club and spread awareness that they supply underage girls with alcohol, which is a crime.
You add an adult committed a crime by knowingly consuming alcohol while under 21. They didn’t hide the alcohol. They made it available (which is wrong) and you as a legal adult chose to take it and consume it.
"It was cool and fun when I got to do it, but now that its not cool and fun for me anymore and I'm not the one getting that type of attention from these men, it's actually really weird and bad that they let other girls do it"
u realize a similar sentiment on this post got 16 downvotes right. hope u never have a daughter
Lol you realize this has been a normal thing for girls that age everywhere else in the world for a long time and will continue to be normal? Ever stopped to think how other countries like Germany have a legal drinking age of 18 and they are somehow able to function just fine? Must be that girls are smarter or more mature over there or something /s
notice how we don’t live everywhere else lol. i e also been given alcohol underage in europe as little as 13 years old. grown men should know better regardless of region to not give people alcohol if they are not of legal age.
*i’ve
Lol yes lets just blame it all on men like there aren't women bar owners and tenders that gladly do the same thing, just because you chose to be irresponsible and now feel like blaming your own lack of responsibility on others. But yes you go ahead and enjoy that moral high ground ig?
People are allowed to grow and mature. Recognizing predatory behavior and calling it out to protect others is mature. Being young and naive is not a crime but the innocence of youth is easily exploited.
Some could see it as exploitation, others could see it as people just being nice and letting young people enjoy a fun night out with their friends? Sounds like OP had a fun time and made it home perfectly safe. Now shes not okay with other people having a fun time like she got to because obviously it was all actually for exploitation and she just didn't realize it until now. Guess everyone in other countries where legal drinking age is 16 is being exploited by their governments
I said nothing about a government exploiting anyone. But in OPs situation the bouncer clearly had motives, the bar owner knowing it would bring in others had at least a financial incentive to look the other way. That’s exploitative and predatory. It’s certainly not altruistic.
thank you !! also i wanna point out they let us in for free. so they weren’t even making a profit out of letting us in which is, in my opinion, even weirder !!!
Bro. it is absolutely the fault of the dudes at that bar who are serving minors, tf are you even on.
You can outgrow your bad decisions. They’re still young and they’re still learning and maturing. They realize what they thought was cool was super creepy.
Don’t be that guy man.
thanks dude !
You can outgrow bad decisions, you can also learn to take responsibility for your own decisions at a younger age instead of just playing dumb until the time is right to blame that lack of responsibility on others. Like I said above, somehow other countries have figured it out? Guess girls in the states are just extra special
They’re still under 21. They just got to a point where they thought giving liquor to 18 year olds is odd. They have already acknowledged they shouldn’t have been drinking like that.
The older people should have the knowledge not to do that. What other countries are doing isn’t relevant here.
If you’re in your 30s and giving liquor to and hitting on barely legal teens you’re a weirdo. That’s just odd.
Why wouldnt what other countries are doing be relevant here? Are they different humans? Are their cultures better at teaching their children how to take responsibility for their actions? Are the men over there less creepy or they have less weirdos? Are we a nation of mentally slow people that need longer time to mature and figure out how the world works than them?
Now you're saying that not only is giving them alcohol weird, but that if youre an adult flirting with another adult thats weird? Or are 18 years olds not considered adults for the sake of your argument? Like there aren't entire industries full of 18 year olds out there selling their bodies to strangers, making millions of dollars on things like onlyfans, exploiting this very same dynamic for their own benefit. Bit of a double standard don't you think?
You're an adult. Only in the states is it an issue for you to drink at 18. The rest of the world either has no minimum age or its 16-18, really not that big a deal.
Maybe you should stick to being a lesbian.
my boyfriend sitting right next to me is loling. glad he’s not a pussy baby man like you. and fyi, we don’t live in other countries and have different laws which we should abide by when it comes to allowing underage people to drink in places that have active liquor licenses btw.
Funny, that's typical boomer behavior, outgrow the fun; then pull the ladder up behind you as you don't need it. I'm not saying what they are doing is right, but it's suspicious how you notice this just as you turn old enough to not need outlets like it. If it really bothers you, file a complaint with TABC, as they shouldn't be doing this anyways, but shame on you for enjoying it while it lasts only to cast shade on them as soon as you no longer need them. Also, your grammar is all over the place, it is very hard to understand you.
This comment is so far off it screams "I'm 15" (or younger). It's completely normal and a sign of maturity to realize that things you did, places you went, or people you knew weren't actually cool they were dangerous and predatory as you get older. Give it a few years and hopefully you will realize the same thing. It's not "typical boomer behavior" nor is it "pulling the ladder up behind you". It's growing up, maturing, and your brain developing.
thank you !!
They are consenting adults. How is it predatory?
Ew that’s so predator, I wonder if there’s a way to report them. When I went it was not a good vibe, people were just standing around and no one was dancing, but I didn’t realize this was going on
The overwhelming majority of these comments are fucked up.
I’m no simp and I don’t mind pounding out a younger woman, but what was described is clearly predatory behavior and a very believable situation.
A lot of men in the comments are saying it’s “Buyer Beware” because it said “Bald Kitty,” but they wouldn’t have guessed it referred to minors rather than a shaven pussy.
News Flash: 18 to 20 year olds (both male and female) tolerate risky behavior if you entice them with free “candy” shots. That’s not an excuse to get them drunk and take advantage of them.
Even if a woman is over 21 and chose to have too much to drink, it doesn’t mean it’s open season for men to scout for the sloppiest drunk woman at a club/party.
The comments are giving off Frustrated Incel vibes.
