“Sorry it doesn’t meet your high moral standards.” The bar has now apologized.
The image is from a troubling scene in the movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. In that scene, Ventura, played by Jim Carrey, accuses a female character of being a man and begins tugging on her hair and ripping off her clothes before revealing her behind. Once outed, the men around her begin spitting on the ground.

In a series of comments, the bar's account accused the post of being fake, called another user a "loser," and told another, "Sorry it doesn't meet your high moral standards."

Here's his full response:
After looking into the situation, it was a repost from a popular edgy IG account, and it was actually taken down within an hour of posting, as it was in my opinion poor taste, and the imagery was also a bit much, even for our account, which is known to be slightly edgy. I spoke to the IG team and have implemented a process where all posts will be vetted before being posted.
I can assure you that the post does not represent any of the views of our staff, as we accept EVERYONE with open arms, and take pride in our diversity, whether it be race, sexual orientation, or religious views. That's exactly what makes us special.
