McFadden's Bar Doesn't Want Black Patrons

For those who may be unfamiliar, McFadden's is a bar in the Olde City section of Philadelphia that is frequented by a wide variety of people as a form of nightlife in the city. With that being said, check out this news article from the Philadelphia Daily News.

Patrons can't wear "excessively baggy" clothes, hats or work boots at McFadden's Restaurant and Saloon, on 3rd Street near Willow, in Old City. Chains and pendants have to be tucked in, just not inside plain, white T-shirts, hooded sweatshirts or athletic jerseys.

According to a class-action civil-rights lawsuit filed yesterday in U.S. District Court, Philadelphia, the bar's general manager Walt Wyrsta, was even more blunt than the dress code recently.

"We don't want black people we are a white bar!" Wyrsta allegedly texted to another manager Oct. 28.
