I was having the time of my life at this club, until about the last 30 minutes of the evening. I was having fun dancing all night, and even so when I was dancing with a lady I wanted to get to know better. Well the bouncer guy came up to me right as I was about to talk to her and cut me off. I showed him my house keys to let him know that I was NOT driving and did not have my car keys and was rather driving with my friend, and told me I was cut off drinking regardless . Upset about this, I went to the bartender to close my tab where the bouncer dude FOLLOWED me and told the bartender I was cut off after he saw me tell the bartender I was closing out. I honestly didn't even drink that much there and felt like I was treated unfairly! I have been to other bars around the area where the bartenders and bouncers know me well, and they would have never cut me off for this amount I drank. I was ready to go and I was so upset when I left. I love the music and dancing and the atmosphere of The Hop, but if you are going to treat your patrons this way, then I will go elsewhere to give my business to even if it is a different genre of music. I will NEVER come back here again after this experience. Sad it happened at the end of the night too because I was ready to give this place a 5 star review only after my second time visiting. Ya'll play great music of back in the day but have horrible customer service!!! Again, you guys lost a great customer and will never recommend others to come here!
So after a couple of days of thinking about this, I wanted to come back and update this review. I did enjoy the music and dancing, so I will give one star back for a two star rating. However, I cannot give any more stars back due to the professionalism of your bouncer/doorman. If I did drink too much that night, then ok I completely understand if you want to stop serving me. However, the way the doorman handled the situation was very unprofessional. He should have first pulled me off to the side and had a small talk with me. He should have sternly warned me of what I was doing to make him suspect that I drank to much, and that if I continued my actions I would be cut off. He should NOT have jumped right in front of me in the middle of the club with everyone standing around and when I was about to talk to someone to abruptly say "you're cut off and no more drinks." He also should not have followed me like a hawk and told the bartender to stop serving me as he saw me clearly tell him that I was closing my tab. No other doorman anywhere I've gone to has gone to that extreme action. If he had simply talked to me first, I would have been more accepting and maybe would come back on another night with the mindset of how many drinks I know I should have. However, his actions left a bad taste in my mouth and I simply can't come back to this club and give it any more business. Still a lost customer but wanted to come back here with more clarity to my...
Read moreAlthough, Ive rated it high, I will say the bad reviews are alittle accurate in a sense of that is how they perceive it. I first went when I was 22, and stop somewhere around 3yrs ago. I had an amazing time every time. Although, im not saying they overexaggerated, what I am saying is everything in life should be taken with a grain of salt. To the lady who got drugged, I can asure you louis had nothing to do with, I know him very well, easiest going fella you could meet. But that was some what her fault or better yet been prevented, if ur gonna get a free drink from a stranger, know the protocol, order from the waitress, 9/10 itll be a women. For the woman whose daughter had the most awful experience, come on wise up, of course they're go gaga over yall your two college aged women. But im sure had it been hunky 20something yr olds, it would have been aok okie dokie. Heck, that's the reason I went every weekend, cause I was a feast per say. And to the gentleman expressing complaints over the drug usage, come on give the old fellers a break, some of them barely walk alone much less after a few. I mean I don't blame them for having to use a party enhancements. Most of them are good people whove worked extremely hard, and know its time to play hard....cut em sum slack..now as far as the door prices ill say they are tricky with the door prices, theyll get you in a hurry, but its $3 to $4 so come on man. Inconclusion ill say that the hop is an amazing place to go, the music, the atmosphere, its a good set up, but if your not a go out alot kinda person, I suggest you enjoy it in the company of 3 o 4 other couples to maximize, your enjoyment and suppress those over the top and blown abit out of control stories...and no I am no owner, employee, o representatives of any kind im simply a patron who fell in love with a bar/club regardless off the little cosmetic issues. I mean no...
Read moreI applied as a waitress at the hop just looking to make quick cash, seeing that I just moved to Webster less than a week ago. I worked an entire night as "shot girl" and left with zero dollars. Now this was not because I didn't sell or make any tips, it's basically because the owner Kevin is a crook. Their inventory system is the one of the worst i have seen and he said at the end of the night I actually owed him money, opposed to making ANY AT ALL. He then told me I didn't know how to manage my money. I am 30 years old. Not that I'm happy about it , but I've been waitressing and bartending at strip clubs since I was 18 years old. Ive managed more money than the hop had probably seen in its existence. I called Kevin out and he immediately started getting defensive and snatched all the money I made out of my hand. But let me tell you, earlier in the night a bartender had told me of a similar situation involving another girl. I'm almost positive this guy uses girls for a night or two , messes with inventory, takes their money and never pays them. He is a crook. And as I've seen from other bloggers , this is not the first case of money theft. Not to mention the place looks like new strands of disease are formed there, it's disgusting and...
