Salt Lake City bar

Frank Maea and Stephen Wily said in February of this year that they were denied service at Willie’s Lounge because they are Polynesian.

“She looked up and said, ‘I can’t serve Polynesians’ and I was like… ‘You can’t what?’” Frank Maea told FOX 13 News February 17.

They say it all happened Tuesday night at Willies Lounge on Main Street in Salt Lake City.

The two men had never been to the bar before, and they said that first trip there will be their last. The men say the bartender checked their IDs and asked them to leave because of their race.
