John Barrowman and pal 'kicked out' of US restaurant just minutes after entering

John Barrowman claims he was 'kicked out' of restaurant in Washington just minutes after entering alongside a friend.

The Scots Doctor Who star, 56, walked into the McMenamins Elks Temple in Tacoma when he and his friend seemingly escorted out of the eatery without explanation. In the 43-second video, he shared that he had “the weirdest thing happen to us”.

He told fans: “Not a very good impression @mcmenaminsbeer. We were basically escorted out and told politely you can’t eat here. #Tacoma Jb.”

He continued: “We’re at McMenamins Elks temple... and basically in a polite way, the gentleman guided us out of one restaurant and took us into another and kind of persuaded us not to come in.”

John then moved the camera to show his friend who claimed that they “kicked us out” before ending the video: “So Tacoma... not a good recommendation. McMenamins...McNot.”

Fans rushed to support the actor following the strange ordeal. One penned: “I’m so sorry that this has happened to you John as you’re a legend on the off camera."

Another said: "I’m sorry they did that John. Thank you for being an amazing celebrity today! It was great meeting you!"

A third wrote: "I am so sorry that happened to you both. Not usual for this area of WA. Hopefully you found a good place to eat. I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow."
