This review is for the security guard that had me step out because I made a “swift move” as he claimed. I tried to get him to explain the “swift move” but he could not. My fiancé was dancing with her friends and then I decided to get up from the table and start dancing with her. The security guard (white male bald/shaved head) decided to tell me to step out so I followed he stated that I wasn’t getting kicked out. So I asked him the reason why I was outside then. I was not belligerent or any such. I hadn’t had a drink all day. He then told me I made this “swift movement”. I said what is a swift movement. No explanation just kept saying a swift movement. So I then emptied my pockets held what I had in the air and said pat me down since you believe there is a problem. He said he didn’t need to. So I said why did you take me out when all I did was get up and start dancing with my fiancé. He again said swift movement. So I again asked him to explain this. He couldn’t. So I decided by my own decision that it was better for me to leave the location than continue to support a business let alone a club that has me step outside for no reason. So lesson is don’t sit and then get up and dance with your partner. You’ll be asked to step out and claim there was a...
Read moreMy husband and I used to live in the East Village, so we've been here for food a couple of times, which was fine. Tonight, we went to the club portion for the first time. While we were taking a break from dancing inside, commenting on the social norms of clubbing, a security guard named Jake told my husband that he looked drunk. We tried to get him to explain how, since we were only talking, and he led us outside. I asked Jake for his card after he couldn't articulate how my husband looked intoxicated when he only had one Corona (which was around $6, so truth be told, we were probably too cheap to get drunk). Chris Livesay, the manager, arrived and told us that he takes his security guard's opinion on guests' intoxication levels and refused to point out anything in particular that made my husband seem drunk. He acknowledged that this was standard practice for their club. So after two pricey drinks, we were publicly shamed and arbitrarily kicked out of their club. Something tells me if we were two cute blond women, Jake and Chris wouldn't have been as quick to kick us out. This experience was embarrassing and sad, and needless to say, it...
Read moreUpon arriving at the bar, the security guy was already really rude. After that he asked for an ID and I gave my new (dutch) driving license. The security guy looked at it for a while and then kept it, as he thought it was fake. He told me to come back at 2am to pick it up. When I came back at 2am no one was opening the door. In the end the security guy showed up again and told me that he gave the ID card to the police. I directly talked to the police officer in the street, he told me that the security guy didn't gave it to them. The officer said that he probably stole it and would keep it, but that he couldn't do anything about it.
The day after I went back to this place and talked again to the same security guy. He started laughing and told me to go away. He said that he could 'steal' whatever he wants.
This security guy is a horrible man and I heard stories from others that it's happening a lot (even the police officer said it).
I should not recommend to this club/bar to anyone, those guys are criminals and inside it is way too expensive. Go to other fun places and never visit the whiskey girl, unless you want to...
