| - A couple of friends and I came to The Pressroom on Saturday night to watch Knife Party perform and were extremely stoked for the show. Unfortunately, our experience was very poor and we can definitely say that we will NEVER come back to this place.
Upon arriving, my friends and I decided to have a couple of drinks before the main event and headed to the main bar inside the venue. This was a few hours before Knife Party's set was scheduled so the bar wasn't as busy as we expected. The first time we went up, the bartender pretty much ignored us for quite some time and was serving individuals who got there after us for about 10-15 minutes. We patiently waited to get our drinks and headed to the dance floor to enjoy the warm up DJ.
During our second trip, things took a turn for the worse! The male bartender wearing a set of glasses along with a bald eagle denim jacket also ignored our group and continued to serve the other patrons. When he finally acknowledged us after waving him down, we ordered a few shots and a couple of beers. It was very hot inside the venue so I decided to grab a napkin to help wipe down my sweat. At this time, one of my friends calmly stated to the bartender that he "wasn't happy with the service" in those exact words. The bartender then decided to throw a fit and SMACKED MY HAND, took the napkins away, and took the drink from my other friend's hand. He then responded in a pissy manner with "You better watch your act!". When we asked what exactly we did, he then again stated "You better watch your act!" and called Security. We took our drinks and proceeded again back to the dance floor.
During the event, we noticed that the security personnel that were called to the bar by the childish bartender were surrounding us and did not move from their place during the entire set. We also witnessed hand signals being given to other members who then proceeded to THROW WATER BOTTLES at our group throughout the entire set. Instead of trying to complain at that time and risk being thrown out, we decided to make the best of it and enjoy what was left of an amazing set. As we were leaving the venue, we were also followed by security which was absurd!
First I would like to say that the actions committed by the bartender and security that night are considered to be ASSAULT. I really hope no one else has to go through this for both the customer and club owner's sake because anyone could easily take legal action against this kind of behavior and shut down what could be a great place to see some amazing electronic acts. It is a real shame that things went down the way they did because I was planning on seeing Travis Scott at The Pressroom with my friends but now we will take our business elsewhere and make the drive to Tucson instead.
