I want to be honest I like this place , but every time I come here I see the same black security guard bullying their costumers around, sometimes from what I can hear , pointless petty stuff . Unfortunately, this time it just happen to be my turn . At closing time I told my wife let’s go outside , she was waiting for her friends , the dude came over and told them they have to leave , my wife was trying to explain that she was waiting for her friend because she was really intoxicated. Dude didn’t want to hear it and I told my wife let’s just go cause you know how he gets . Then there’s gonna be a problem so let’s just go . As I am talking to my wife he bust into our convo and starts telling me “oh nah you gotta go or we gonna have a problem.” I told him ain’t nobody was talking to him so to chill out , he started to get wild disrespectful for no apparent reason , trying to embarrass me in front of my wife and friends who were celebrating a birthday . Since I’m in there territory I wasn’t going to sit there and continue arguing so that they can later say I’m intoxicated and problematic . So put my fingers up like a peace ✌🏻 sign and he got even more crazy because of it . I could hear in the background saying I’m going to go outside and embarrass him . You as a costumer could only take so much disrespect , even more so from a black thug in a security costume acting like an nyc cop . Honestly I believe they don’t discipline their employees , if you see it from the outside and don’t know what’s going on you could think it was a dude that got drunk and couldn’t handle his liquor . In the inside though , I was trying to get out of there with my wife before he started acting weird like I’ve seen him do in the past . If he’d just let me talk to my wife without saying a word to us we’d been fine , but he found the opportunity to enforce some type of security guard law and embarrass me in front of the ladies I was with . Not everyone can be wrong , people complain for a reason , but level 2 isn’t about costumer satisfaction , no matter how much I like this place , I’m gonna stop going here , I do not feel comfortable going somewhere to have a good time and feeling like im being constantly targeted by a power hungry employee. Employees represent their company … and he represents level 2 , and not in a good way . Good music , good...
Read moreThe atmosphere is nice and the DJ is great on Latin nights, but the last time I was there I had an incident with the bar back guy named Davey. I was dancing with a friend when out of no where Davey pops up and pushes my friend out of his way. My thought is what the heak is happening, then suddenly I realize there is someone very close to me and a mop moving across my feet. My heel whapped around the strings of the mop and I grabbed him, I told him what are you doing get away from me! He got very offensive and said get the F off of me. I let it go till the end of the night because i did not want to ruin my friends birthday. It is the end of the night and I respectfully and calmly approached the owner Brian to advise him of the situation. As I was explaining to him what happened he cut me off to say Davey said excuse me and that I did not hear him. I told him he was not there to know what happened. Davey was rude, did not give me a warning he was going to mop exactly where I was standing, and pushed us out of the way as if we were nothing. Brian completely dismissed my concern and walkwd away telling me to get the F out after I mentioned to him that if I would have fallen and got hurt I could have sued and so can anyone else because of his irresponsibility and negligence. Then I got defensive and became verbally disrespectful towards him and his staff for treating his customer as if I was a drunk idiot. I will admit I was feeling nice, but I was not drunk nor unreasonable. Not everyone goes to the club to get waisted. This situation could have been handled more appropriately by the man in charge of the business. I've been to Level 2 numerous times and always had a great time, but because of the way he allow this behavior from his staff (Davey), and how he dismissed my concern, I will never go back there again. I rather pay double and go to Bridges Latin nights. Very dissaponted...
Read moreNot the worst place downtown. But nothing to right home to momma about. Place itself itself pretty nice and cool. But the staff like all staff downtown r rude and sexiest. My incident ocurred when i was on the dance floor with a group of friends. I was standing near this wall of marble beads when one of the miserable bouncers made a big scene and come over screaming at me not lean on them when i wasent. My female friend then laid on the beads and rolled across them he looked at her and said nothing to her. Clearly the bouncer had nothing us better to do and because of me being a small male felt like he had found an easy target to pick on. So moral of the story is if ur a small guy like me ur putting urself at risk with a strong verbal assualt when all ur there to do is have a fun time. Also drinks overpriced and bartender also had a...
