The restaurant, Metzger Bar and Butchery, called itself an "inclusive" establishment that has rarely refused service to willing patrons, but said it denied service to the group in an effort to protect its staff, many of whom are women or members of the LGBTQ+ community."Recently we refused service to a group that had booked an event with us after the owners of Metzger found out it was a group of donors to a political organization that seeks to deprive women and LGBTQ+ persons of their basic human rights in Virginia," the establishment said in a recent post on Instagram."We have always refused service to anyone for making our staff uncomfortable or unsafe and this was the driving force behind our decision," the post read.Metzger's included an image of a cocktail named "Cracks in the Foundation" and said it would donate all sales proceeds to Equality Virginia, an organization advocating for LGBTQ equality.Last night, our team and supporters got that firsthand experience when Metzger's Bar and Butchery in Richmond, VA refused to service our pre-reserved event, leaving us scrambling just moments before," Victoria Cobb wrote."
