My friends and I have been going to this place for the past year. The past few times we have been there, though, we have had APPALLING encounters with staff. At closing time, the security/ bouncers have been EXTREMELY aggressive at making people leave. We have been threatened with tazors by one bouncer, had noisemakers blown at us, and been PHYSICALLY INTIMIDATED. When I told one of the bouncers how awful it was that he was waving a tazor around at people, he proceeded to turn it on (or whatever you call it with that stuff) and push it toward us. I was there this past Friday and made a comment to a very nice bartender about this treatment, and she told me to talk to the owner about it as he was the DJ that night. When i approached him about it, he essentially called me a liar. My friend came over to corroborate my story, and he proceeded to call BOTH of us liars. He asked us to point out which security guard it was (it's a DARK bar inside, and there are multiple rooms with security all spread out), I told him I didn't see the man in that specific room, but I described him to the owner. The owner was still belligerent and mean, and when i told him that i was so offended by past treatment that i considered talking with a government agency that kind of regulates what businesses are doing (citysearch isn't letting me type the name of the bureau), he yelled ""You're 86ed! Get her out of here. Don't ever come back!"" A security guard proceede to take me BY MY COLLAR and move me toward the door. I told him I would leave, and that he didn't need to put his hands on me. He didn't really care. I was essentially pushed out of the club. The security guard was ENORMOUS. I'm 5'4"" (okay, 5'3"") and about 130 pounds. I'm OUTRAGED by my treatment. And i will be contacting the necessary authorities regarding this. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT INTIMIDATES AND ABUSES PATRONS.
Cons: physically intimidated by staff/ security
