Necto — Restaurant in Ann Arbor

My group wasn’t allowed in because a joke was made between our group and because a sensitive “gay” term was spoken we could no longer go in even though the joke was between us only and we all were laughing. The Bouncer was power tripping because of course… he just so happened to be gay thus… it was offensive so you can’t go in? Never heard of something so pathetic lol so much for freedom of speech funniest part is NOBODY was behind us in line too. So it’s not like we were being rude and none of us were loud. We were just getting in a SIMPLE joke was said only pertaining to my group ONLY that he eavesdropped on and the bouncer just decided “you can’t come into my club” as if he’s an owner🤣🤣so honestly 0/10 because we were ready to drop money, but this dude ruined it so we just had a blast at scorekeepers instead, which actually had a HUGE line. All this dude had to say was something like “have a good time if you wouldn’t mind just don’t speak like that” like a mature adult would’ve been ideal, nice, understanding, and actually effective for future notice too. There would be no negative energy, you would’ve gotten our business, everyone wins.

We will come back another day and if this guy still kicks us out even though we purposefully won’t even say anything then this will go a step further because at that point that’s seriously messed up.

—Message to the owner: if when we come back everything is all good. I’ll give a 4 star and dock 1 for the bouncer, but right now easily a 1 star this was just weak and childish to do as an adult. Trust me idc to be dramatic, but that is such a lame way to lose business. Learn to mind your own business like a typical person and understand that people and in our case long term friends talk to each other how they want especially when it’s not even loud nor obnoxious it is not your job as a bouncer to control someone’s vocabulary unless they are for example using hate speech etc I get that. Not simply because you want to overhear somebody that’s just weird and trying to cause potential power...

Listen, Saturday night was an eventful night but I have to give credit to all the staff that was able to support a guy that got injured and all that. They told everyone to back up and I told them to do the same. Me and the staff were telling EVERYONE to back the ef up and give the staff room to make sure this guy was okay. This place ROCKS with safety and professionalism with helping people to make sure they are safe. Sure, I lost a shirt in the process but it was for the best since the guy needed it :). Was there for my 21st, and let me tell you it was the best but in the end it was a fun experience and I was able to help the person in need. Of course I wasn’t allowed back in which is understandable for everyone but I’m glad everyone was able to make it out safely. Again, props to the staff and everyone that was able to help me in this situation. Everyone did great!!! All the horror stories you hear are FALSE and I will definitely be making a return to this place. The bouncers were hella respectful and all the security was too. Sure they can get a lil cranky at times but you gotta understand of how hard of a job they really have. They HAVE to be cranky (by cranky I mean intimidating but if you’re on their good side they are super nice) to ensure everyone is safe and I’m glad to say the guy that was injured is okay :). If they weren’t intimidating more fights would happen. Love this place to death fr. Best employees and people you’ll...

My friends and I were at Necto for the last Pride Friday of the year. We left around 12:45, and we walked outside past a group of boys whose friend was throwing up on the sidewalk and they asked for help. When we stopped to help them, they realized that at least one of my friends was queer, and started yelling homophobic slurs at us.

The whole time they were yelling at us, and we were trying to defend ourselves, Necto’s security was standing less than 20 feet away from us not intervening at all. Homophobic slurs or not, they didn’t try to help a Necto customer (that looked like a minor) right next to the door that was throwing up and obviously in the first stages of alcohol poisoning, and they definitely didn’t try to help de-escalate the situation where my friends were being borderline hatecrimed.

My friends and I ended up walking a little over a block away, and we had to go into the 7-Eleven to hide while we waited for our ride, because some of the group yelling at us started following us. If Necto’s Security would’ve helped us since we were right outside the door to the club, we maybe would’ve been able to be in a much safer situation. Instead, they chose to watch the whole ordeal, and not step in in any way.

I’m truly disappointed that my friends and I had to have our night ruined and turned into a potentially very dangerous situation because Necto’s security wouldn’t step in and help two groups of customers at their club when they needed...
