The restaurant’s owner, George Sboukis, told local Fox affiliate station WJBK that the post was prompted by customers showing up to the fine-dining establishment in more relaxed dress during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as complaints from some customers that other guests smelled like pot.

"It’s so pungent, some of the guests have commented, ‘It smells like you’re seated next to a dead skunk,’ " he told the local news outlet.

He added that those who come to the restaurant should be prepared to adhere to their clothing attire guidelines, as well.

"We’ve had people celebrating their 50th [anniversary] last week, the week before that. They’re getting dressed up, they're putting on an evening gown, their earrings, their best suit,” Sboukis explained. “They’re coming out to celebrate and they expect to be surrounded by like-minded guests.”

While some Facebook users vocalized their support for the restaurant’s post, with one person commenting, “just because it’s [marijuana] is legal.. you don’t have to flaunt it,” others claimed the guidelines were racist.

“This is coded language for racism and is likely going to be used as a tool to prevent Black and POC Detroiter’s from dining here,” one person wrote. “Horrible decision to make such a post. You have lost so much business for such an ‘upscale’ restaurant you would think more thought would have gone in to a post like this.”

Sboukis, however, told WJBK that he didn’t “mean any harm,” adding that the Facebook post “was a reminder with a little bit of sauce just to get people’s attention.”

In Michigan, recreational marijuana use is legal for all adults age 21 and older, though state law prohibits smoking in public spaces, with residents encouraged to instead limit use to their homes or other private areas.

DUDE WEED LMAO isn't food.

I'm a prophet. He (who wrote these lines) will not survive in this business.

>>15947890

They basically put up a giant sign saying "no ghetto blacks".

The people that dine there don't want them there. They'll be fine, people will pay a premium to avoid people they don't like.

I see no problem with this. I'm not against weed whatsoever, but a business has a right to enforce a dress code and decline service to certain people based on that as well as if they come in reeking of weed, ciggs, paint, gasoline, etc.

>>15947898
I doubt that this is a sustainable business philosophy. I stand by my words: Shit like this doesn't fly in our day and age. Which is an improvement to earlier times, ngl.

>>15947861
nah. gunna smell and dress like whatever i want when im paying for a service

>I have money which I want to spend at your restaurant.
>Fuck off subhuman, and don't ever come back.
>Er, ... are you retarded?

>>15947867
This, take out an ad if you want to shill for views.

>>15947941

You realize you don't have a right to be in a restaurant right? They can kick you our for wearing a Yankee's shirt or yellow socks, as long as they aren't denying you service for being a member of a protected class.

>>15947941
>nah. gunna smell and dress like whatever i want when im paying for a service

>>15947951
Of course they do have that right. And people have the right to boycott anybody who they perceive as up-their-ass pricks.

>>15947861
What's next? No cocaine in the bathroom stalls?

>>15947986

...why the fuck would anyone boycott a restaurant that hold itself and its customers to a high standard? Thats a business I want to support. If I want to be surrounded by people who dress and smell poorly, I'll go to McDonalds.

>>15947986
Your boycott won't even be noticed by the restaurant since they didn't want your business in the first place.

>>15947898
ding ding ding ding

we have a winner

people with money will go there to eat just because they had the nerve to do this

>>15948000
But you will never go to that place. Even if you ever had the needed money for this type of service. Therefore, your opinion is worthless.

>>15948000
Trips of truth

I think this restaurant already has a solid clientele of rich old people/investors that want this place to be their safe space. They will probably do fine until they start dying off.

>>15947945

Son, this ain’t the place to go when you’ve got the munchies after smoking a fat doobie.

“The Caucus Club was founded by Lester and Sam Gruber in 1952 as the sister restaurant to The London Chop House, which in its heyday was regarded as one of the best restaurants in the United States. The Caucus Club is famous in its own right. In the spring of 1961, a then unknown Barbra Streisand launched her singing career here. In the bar, the tradition of the “Raincheck” allowed guests to purchase drinks in advance, and a token was registered in the raincheck cove for the future recipient. It is also famous for introducing a cocktail called “The Bullshot,” a savory version on the Bloody Mary that made its way to bars around the world.

Located in the heart of Detroit’s financial district, the Caucus Club became the destination for the city’s prominent decision makers, politicians, barons of industry, and celebrities (both local and national.) The Caucus Club became the spot for the “power lunch,” where business was conducted and deals were made.”

Menu looks like it’s from the Stone Age

>>15948087
Ohhh this is an institution then

Acid is better than weed

>>15947861
It's a ridiculous smell. The green hat with an orange bill of the room. Like some Filipino granny whipping out a durian in the middle of a crowded bus on a summer afternoon to snack on. Or that one coworker that decides to bring fish for lunch to then microwave and act as if it's not the loudest smell in the entire work place.

>>15947861
Stoners should be socially shunned

>>15948089
>DUDE STEAK BRO

>>15947986
>hey guys we are a high standard restaurant and we don’t want you smelling like roadkill on a summer day while looking like a trash bag
>reeeeeee thats discrimination reeeeeee
They just said don’t smell disgusting and at least try to look nice. They aren’t telling you to fuck off if you don’t have $500,000 in the bank.
>>15948031
You’re right, because you couldn’t pay me to step foot anywhere near that automobile shaped shithole. But I support them regardless.
>>15948204
The lamb chops have me interested personally.

You’re also a retard, as these “rules” are super common with restaurants/bars/clubs/etc. in areas with lots of ghetto folk.

They can’t post a sign that simply says “no hoodrats or juggalos”, so they post “dress codes” which usually include things like
>no hoodies
>no shorts
>no sweatpants
>no sagging pants
>no tracksuits
>no jerseys
I’ve even seen “no baseball caps worn backwards or sideways” on a list before.
I can assure you these business do just fine; if they don’t, it’s not because of their dress code, but because they were a shit establishment in general.

>>15947986
>And people have the right to boycott anybody who they perceive as up-their-ass pricks.
>boycotting a restaurant that doesn’t want your business to the point of literally having rules in place to prevent your business
Yup, that’ll show ‘em.

>I’ve even seen “no baseball caps worn backwards or sideways” on a list before.

Dumbest shit I read all week on this board.

>>15948384
Time will prove me right. They will go out of business within the next three to five years, because 90 per cent of people don't want to associate with sociopaths.

>>15947924
Lol rich White and Jewish libs will pay a fortune to live in gated communities and send their kids to private schools with no Blacks nearby.

>>15947924
I would pay double to eat at a restaurant that doesn’t allow black people, just saying

>>15948488
You'd spend ten whole dollars? Very impressive, Cletus.

>>15947861
>“Most importantly, if you smell like marijuana don’t even think of stepping inside the Caucus Club,”
Doesn't seem like something you'd have to point out.

>>15948431
>people don't want to associate with sociopaths
You should try leaving your home more often and interacting with your fellow human beings. It would teach you a lot about the world.

>>15947870
>racist to not allow people who smell like pot
so you accept that black people smoke a fuck ton of pot? what happened to dispelling stereotypes? fucking lol

>>15947924
>niche businesses who only cater to select people cant exist NOOOOOOOO
>YOU'LL GO BANKRUPT IF YOU DONT APPEAL TO THE MASSES

>>15947924
>I doubt that this is a sustainable business philosophy.
You act as if it’s somehow new.
There have always been business establishments with rules regarding guest appearance/behavior, in order to keep out those who their intended clientele find undesirable.
They do just fine; they always have. same as how gated communities do just fine.

>>15947864
>they expect to be surrounded by like-minded guests.
Boomers are mentally ill

>>15948656
I like how boomers marched for the Civil Rights act and integration then act like they have the right to complain about ghetto dwellers invaded their fancy safe space clubs.

>>15948517
No, he's right, you anti-social virgin. Just wait until the twitter crowd hears of this and makes a stink.

>>15947861
I suffer from serious panic attacks from the smell of pot, so I support this wholeheartedly. Hell, even Oregano can set me off.
Fuck people who smell like a rotten fucking skunk.
This is BASED

>>15948680
I’m sure those are two separate groups of boomers you retard. Do you really imagine old hippies eating here

>>15947861
This is hilarious, but I don't know why they're even bothering in a shithole like detroit.

>>15948680

That's because boomers are all about racial tolerance and integration as long as it happens far away from their own neighborhood. Ever wonder why rich liberals in the USA never take in Mexican illegals, or why rich liberal Euros never take in the refugees? It's fine if they're in the Balkans or Greece but God forbid those Muslims get sent to Nom-La-Bretèche.

>>15948307
>regardless
umm sweaty, it's irregardless.

>>15948089
I can't take any establishment which lists main courses under 'Entrees' seriously.

>>15948694
nothing based about turning into a crying bitch over a smell. kinda pathetic actually

>>15948709
there are nice parts in practically every city

>>15948831
Would you prefer numbered value combos?

>>15948908
I'd prefer it is they actually listed the starters under Entree instead of pretending that it means mains.

>>15947861
