A racist and disheartening experience.
As a visitor from Germany, seeking to explore the vibrant nightlife of Warsaw during my vacation, I was disheartened by the treatment I received at the door.
Upon arrival, I approached the door employee, a woman who, regrettably, exhibited a demeanor that lacked courtesy and respect. Her refusal to provide a reason for denying me entry was accompanied by a dismissive attitude, as she engaged in conversation with a Polish man standing behind me, seemingly disregarding my presence. This left me feeling demeaned, as if I were a mere inconvenience to be hastily dismissed.
What further troubled me was observing another group from a distance, gaining entry despite not adhering to the presumed dress code. This stark contrast raised questions about the consistency of their admission policies. In an attempt to rectify the situation, I approached the door employee once again, expressing my genuine interest in experiencing Level 27, as it had been touted as the premier club in the city. I assured her of my intention to simply enjoy a few drinks and contribute positively to the ambiance, assuaging any concerns of disruptive behavior. However, my sincere plea was met with continued refusal.
Reflecting on my subsequent visit to SEN(one of the best nightclubs in Poland), where I was treated with decency and respect, I couldnāt help but compare the two experiences. It is disheartening to acknowledge the existence of racism in certain establishments even in this day and age. While I understand that my personal encounter does not provide definitive evidence, reading similar accounts from others only reinforces my suspicion.
Such discriminatory practices undermine the very essence of inclusivity and fairness. In an increasingly interconnected world, where individuals of diverse backgrounds contribute significantly to the economies and cultural fabric of various countries, these prejudices serve as a barrier to progress.
It is essential to challenge these regressive attitudes and foster an environment where everyone, regardless of their ethnicity or cultural background, is treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. Not only is this morally imperative, but it also makes economic sense. Indians, like myself, who work and reside in Europe, often possess higher spending power, making us valuable contributors to businesses such as nightclubs.
Let us hope for a future where discriminatory practices are eradicated, fostering an atmosphere of acceptance and appreciation for people from all walks of life.
PS: Additionally, it is disconcerting to note that multiple reviews highlighting similar concerns have been met with identical copy-paste responses from the owner. This not only reflects a lack of genuine concern for addressing the issue but also indicates a dismissive attitude towards...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis happened on Nov. 30th on Saturday at 2330 HRS. Idk what to say that's so great about LEVEL 27.. NOTHING is great about it and here is my review of why.. I felt that us Americans are "Not Welcome". But I'm not the only one that got rejected upfront, though we did follow the "dress code" rules. I witnessed British, African, French, Hispanics, and Mexicans Ethnicities were rejected at the door.. but I've been quite observant on how the so called BOUNCERS, especially the tall blonde Polish woman, letting us know that if you don't have a reservation, you can't come in, but walk ins are allowed with a fee of 50,00 ztl. Also it depends on the capacity of people in the club but unfortunately she told all of us the amount of people has reached it's limits and we all need to be turned away. She did not give a amount of people that is in the club at that time, but I didn't care anymore and decided to just go on with my night else where.. But as I was about to walk out the exit glass door disappointed, a bunch of Polish people in shorts, flip flops and a jacket was walking in, and able to walk through and they all spoke their Polish language to the female bouncer and gladly obliged to let them through.. but I asked the last person if they had reservations? He said they don't and they just asked the woman if they can go in to have fun and drink.. she let them through!? Really!? Felt like it's quite racism with her.. Lastly the sad thing bout LEVEL 27 is the hype bout this club is underrated.. Recommended to my Americans and other Ethnicity people, to not give your services or even bother.. with this grotesque of female bouncer working there rejecting people, and only letting her own people through, you might as well take your service else where. So yes my review and rating is 1 star. Atmosphere there is HORRENDOUS. May I remind her, who has fought to keep Nazi's out of their way and became allies? YES US...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHorrible experience!!! We came here me and my girl friends dressed up nicely to watch this dj play , weāre waiting patiently and quietly in the line , other of our friends were there as well they got in without being asked about reservations no nothing although they didnāt have one others in front of us as well , when it was our turn she asked us if we had a reservation we said no she said the only way to get in is by reservation and if we want to enter we should pay 3000 PLN for the table left ???? She told us itās private property and she can accept whoever she wants with the dirtiest looks too ⦠well then I guess she didnāt like us enough
A response to your reply since I couldnt do it directly : I totally understand these policies and I respect them since I have myself been to many places and not just any, very exclusive ones even all around the world and never had this problem , and it also doesnāt make sense to let half of a friend group in and others out simply because she didnāt want to and she said it bluntly with the dirtiest look ever , telling us that we had to buy a table because suddenly it was ācrowdedā and when we made the remark that our friends and people just got in she said that she just ādonāt want us inā while literally letting people in front of us and behind us in this whole time as we were watching and her looking us dirty . Thereās no logical explanation for this treatment other than she was disrespectful, the fact that we were really excited to come but then she ruined terribly our night was just deceiving and unexpected honestly .thank goodness we werenāt celebrating any birthdays otherwise she wouldāve ruined it...
