We were taken to Small Bar off West Division Street in Chicago on Tuesday April 6th at around 7pm by a friend of ours who lives in Wicker Park. We were visiting from Columbus, Ohio and had with us my old exchange student from Munich Germany and his girlfriend. We sat down at the patio outside and I ordered 5 drinks. We were asked for our identification to be served alcohol (no problem), all of us who had United States driver licenses were not given a problem, however the same could not be said for our friends from Germany. When they produced their German passports as identification we were told that the establishment did not take non-american identification. We were astounded by this reponse and decided not give the restaurant our business.



I have taken the time to write this review because there are a couple of things wrong with this situation. For one, if a passport is accepted by United States Customs Agents to gain entry to our country, it should be said that a drinking establishment should extend the same courtesy in regards to proving their age (both he and his girlfriend are 28). I would also like to say that with the amount of negative attention the United States gets for our ignorance I was just flatly embarrassed by the servers refusal to serve our friends who we were welcoming to our country and this great city.



I hope in the future Small Bar will broaden their horizons when it comes to accomodating our country's visitors.
