Soma? do they think they are in SOMA? As in San Francisco? Newslash! You are in Champaign, Illinois! And even if you were in San Francisco they wouldn't have been so stuck up, rude and strict on rules. A group of friends and I stopped in here the other night for some drinks. First the bouncer wanted to charge, and then changed his mind and said we could come in - I guess my jeans weren't nice enough even if they probably cost more than his pay that night. He then says we can come in but there are no hats allowed. My friend has to take off her very cute beret - Are we serious people? And he tells us we need to check our coats. Fine. We go to check our coats and as we are standing there - he comes over and says we don't have to check them. Are you just messing with us now? The place is practically empty and you can't find anything better to do.
So we sit down and one of my friends buys a round of shots. Not even a second after we take our shot the guy comes back over and tells us we need to leave. After they just took our money.
I now see why the place was practically empty. The whole experience was horrible and the people were rude and obviously need a wake up call. I would expect to see this place out of business when I am back in town.
