Disappointed with the Corruption and Unprofessionalism at Memories Night Club

My experience at Memories Night Club was extremely frustrating due to the blatant corruption and unprofessionalism at the door. The VIP line was a complete joke. Bouncers were letting in people left and right who clearly weren’t VIP, but rather friends of the staff. We witnessed countless people being ushered in for free, while those of us in the regular line waited for over 45 minutes, prepared to pay the $20 cover fee.

To make matters worse, one of the bouncers was openly taking cash directly from some customers and letting them in without even batting an eye. It was disheartening to see the bouncers allowing people to bypass the line, pay them off, and skip the cover fee. Meanwhile, those of us in the regular line were stuck watching all this go down.

As if that wasn’t enough, the so-called “VIP” people who were getting in for free or paying off the bouncers were trash-talking us while we stood in line. It was disrespectful and uncalled for, adding insult to injury.

When my friends and I finally got in, we managed to have a fun time, but what really ruined the night for us was seeing the unfair bouncers picking and choosing who they wanted to let in. The blatant favoritism and lack of professionalism left a bad taste in our mouths.

To top it off, once we got onto the dance floor, there were droplets of something hitting everyone from the ceiling. It wasn’t raining outside, so it had to be coming from inside the club. Periodically, I noticed people looking around and then up at the ceiling, confused and grossed out by these random water droplets. It was unsettling and made the night even worse.

The club must have lost so much money and potential customers that night because many people in the regular line, including myself, considered leaving out of sheer frustration. The bouncers need a serious attitude adjustment, and management needs to address this issue before it drives away more customers. I won’t be coming back...

I’m really shaken by what happened to me at Memories in Margate and feel it’s important to share. While out with my friends, a man (probably in his late 50s) took a photo of me BENEATH MY SKIRT without my knowledge. I only found out because another woman witnessed it and told me. I confronted the man, but he wouldn’t acknowledge me, refused to show his phone, and acted like I was crazy.

What followed was incredibly disappointing. I brought it to the female bartender and security, hoping for support. For some reason, I still don’t know why, she was mad at ME and telling me to calm down and suggesting I leave. She gave this creepy man the benefit of the doubt instead of believing me. I was visibly scared, shaken, and crying. The staff made this situation 10x worse. Eventually the bartender and security checked his phone, saw the violating photos were there, and deleted them. They did apologize and offer free shots but there was no chance I’m ever stepping in that horrible unsafe place again. Supposedly the man was removed but it wasn’t without causing a scene and making me feel extremely uncomfortable.

I want other young women to be aware. I truly hope the bar rethinks how they handle these kinds of situations in the future. YOUNG WOMEN DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO FEEL SAFE...

I'm still in shock over what happened last night at Memories in Margate. A man, likely in his 50s, took an upskirt photo of my friend—who's in her 20s—without her knowing. Thankfully, another woman witnessed it and immediately told her. My friend confronted the man, but he completely denied it, refused to show his phone, and acted like nothing had happened.

She reported it right away to the bartender and security, but instead of taking swift action, the bartender actually argued with her, saying, “We can’t just kick people out.” The situation was met with frustrating indifference. It took half an hour of persistence before they finally checked his phone, found the photos, deleted them, and apologized.

Their response? A round of free shots for our group of seven women. That was it. No police were contacted. No removal. No ban.

This was a clear violation and a moment when the venue should have stood up for the safety of its guests—but they failed completely. The most disappointing part? We didn’t call the police ourselves right away. We regret trusting the staff to handle it properly.

If you're a woman, especially in your 20s, think twice before going here. Safety clearly isn’t their priority. When it came time to protect patrons, they hesitated—when they...
