| - This was actually a decent venue and I really really wanted to like it, but some of the bouncers here really tarnished our experience. 3 girlfriends and I came here, got in right away on guestlist and were given 2 drink cards each which were only good for vodka.
Our birthday girl got really messed up to the point I had to hold her up on the dancefloor and we were doing all we can to keep her awake. Sure enough, a bouncer let me know they're going to kick her out for being too intoxicated as well as their fear of her throwing up. I exchanged several words with the man and we were allowed to stay. We moved towards the middle of the dancefloor in hopes our group would be less obvious but I made the call shortly after to exit the venue.
My plan was to exit, get our reentry stamp, and have birthday girl sober up a little. It would've been harder getting her back in if she had been kicked out. We did everything from poking her face, tickling her, and even putting her in a corner for "time out" just to make sure she is alert enough to reenter the club.
We got back in no problem, and hung out on the side overlooking the dancefloor then got invited by a group to join their table. There was a pole near the table and one of my girls took the opportunity to showcase her pole dancing skills. Minutes later, a bouncer comes and escorts her out of the club. They couldn't have even given her a warning like "hey you can't be on the pole, don't do it again or you're out of here." I understand it's a liability to have non-performers doing acrobatics, but they could've at least given a warning.
We did get back in no problem and that wasn't even the last of our encounters with the bouncers. I don't want to go further into detail so I'll just end it here.
Aside from that, the music and Cirque performers were awesome.
