More details to this question:
Can a bartender or manager ban you from a restaurant or bar for having issues outside of the business? For example they were your friends and had an argument outside of the business then they say “don’t come back to the bar you are banned” is that legal?

In 1964, Congress passed Public Law 88-352, which included the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as well as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which focused on discrimination in public service or hiring. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits public accommodations from refusing service to customers because of skin color, race, religion, sex, nationality, or any physical conditions a customer can’t prevent.
The right to refuse service, then, means that public accommodations, such as restaurants, theaters, banks, gyms, and stores, can lawfully deny service to a customer if they feel that their business might suffer from engaging in such a transaction—as long as they don’t base that decision on the categories above. Therefore, unless you were banned because of being a member of a protected class, you do not have much recourse.
