SoT, a cocktail bar in the Kansas City area, responded to Jackson Mahomes after he went on a social media rant against the small business.
According to the message sent to Mahomes, SoT said that he became upset after they were unable to accommodate his large party.
“We are sorry that we set boundaries that you tried to ignore. Often times people with un-earned status and a sense of entitlement think they are above the rules and will lash out at the employee enforcing them.
We are sorry we could not seat your very large group. As you probably saw, our bar is very small.”
The bar might getting praised for their message, but now they are totally regretful for how they went about it. On Thursday, SoT backed off their original statement calling out the brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
“It’s time to talk…again.
Yesterday, we released an “apology” that was anything but authentic. The team at SoT is committed to providing every guest that walks through our doors with the best experience possible, while treating them with respect and humility. Yesterday, we failed to meet those expectations.
Social media can be used in so many different ways, & yesterday our team used it to personally attack and question the character of someone we do not know personally. Out of all the ways this situation could have been handled, we did it the wrong way.
The bar continued, “We want everyone to know that we acknowledge our shortcomings in this situation, and even though we failed to meet our own–and we’re sure many of our follower’s–expectations with our social media presence yesterday, we promise to do better.”

Mahomes’ now-deleted social media posts, allegedly said he had an awful experience and awful service when he attended the bar to his 255,000 followers.
“We survived a global pandemic, we’ll survive your ego,” SoT wrote. “We are sorry you didn’t reach out to us first before taking to social media, but then again that is an expectation we would have from a mature and rational person, not someone who pours water on fans and dances on the memorials of tragically lost people for TikTok clout.”
Jackson has made headlines earlier this season for two incidents during Chiefs road games.
During a loss in Baltimore, the younger brother of Patrick Mahomes was seen pouring water on an opposing fan that was heckling him. Weeks later, he was blasted for dancing for a TikTok video while on top of the late Sean Taylor’s retired number that was being honored that day.
