I went to this bar for the first time on 3/28/09 for a friends birthday. Small group of us... 3 girls and 2 guys including myself. I had a tab open at the bar in the front room and in the back... and by the end of the night had racked up over $200 between the two... tipping VERY well I might add. For the most part our group kept to ourselves, just dancing and having a good time. Towards the end of the night I was dancing with my girlfriend when out of nowhere a bouncer semi tackles me and draggs me ourside... all the while I was trying to ask him what I did... I wasn't being angry becasue I used to be a bouncer myself and know that approach won't get you anywhere but in the gutter. The bouncer refused to tell me what I had done until we were outside... apparently I had punched a girl square in the face. I had done no such thing and if the bouncer had actually done his job and tried to figure out the situation by listening to me or any of the people I was with, the whole thing could have been avoided. Instead, I was kicked out while the bouncer informed other guests what had happened, and that I was responsible. That's slander right there... and I'll take that up with the management. Anyway, while I'm outside trying to explain to the other doorman that I still had a huge tab running in the bar, the real culprit was discovered and tossed out... yet I was still being treated as if I had done it myself. They would not let me back in to close my tab even after they knew they had made a mistake! (my hand was also cut in the process of being tossed out. for someone who wasn't at all resisting, the oaf certainly used more than enough force to toss me out)
Anyway, with our whole group trying to talk sense to the bouncers about the nonsense of still treating me like I was guilty, and then not listening, I had to get someone to forge my signature at the bar (looking back, i should have refused to pay). I can't say I'll ever go to this bar again... unless it's to knock some sense into a semi-retarded bouncer.
Pros: bartenders were great
Cons: bouncers have zero common sense
