I was a regular customer at Be At One for the past 7ish years, it used to be my favorite place, I have seen the overall quality deteriorate with both the music and the drinks, on new year's eve however even the security have failed miserably.

There was a group of around 5 men at a table adjacent to ours and one of the them knocked over a drink I just bought drenching my girlfriend’s phone and the table, I quickly tried to clean up the phone before it receives water damage. My girlfriend came back, I told her what happened she has shown them her drink and her phone from afar, they didn’t do anything, they just left after some minutes either in shame or to have some cheap drinks at the nearest shop.

The aforementioned group’s table was vacated because they were gone for that long, a member of staff has cleaned it up and have removed their name tag and we asked if we can move to it and not only he said yes, he has even helped us move. The reason we wanted to move there was because our table to drenched in the spilled drink.

The group of men decided to come back after a very long time and they wanted “their” table back and started harassing us. I did not let them intimidate me, my girlfriend went to the security who decided to call me over and let the group sit, I tried to explain the situation to the security person, but the only thing he offered is that they maybe able to get us a table at the exact opposite end of the bar, my girlfriend was distressed and the told me she was threatened by the men, I relayed that to the security person, he visibly didn’t care, at that point we decided to just leave. I went back to my jacket and it was reaffirmed why leaving was indeed the best choice, there was a security person blocking my way, I had to ask the group of men for my jacket, which they returned to me and then we left because it was very clear to us where everyone stood.

I would be interested to know by what logic does security decide to favour a group of men instead of actually addressing the concerns of the couple who has called them over, any reasonable person would have either just looked at the table and seen that there is no tag on it, or would have just talked to the staff or they could have guessed that a group of men are more likely to be causing problems then a couple.

I did previously see security go and wake up a girl who dozed off a little bit, not sure what inference I should make from all this, it looks like they are fine calling over girls and couples but are afraid to handle groups of men, or were the men friends of the security people?
