| - this is an extraordinarily long overdue review. I have been to Touch on to two occasions, both of which were over 3-4 years ago. the first occasion was fine, a typical saturday night in ohio city, nothing to write home about. like everyone else has mentioned, for the horrific service, the price point is WAY too high. I want to say we paid $25 per shot of patron. anyways, the reason i'm even wasting my time further on this place is to inform everyone of what a horrible experience I had the second time I visited.
a group of friends and I went to Touch on hip hop night, so let your imagination determine the caliber of people that brought it. I read from other reviewers that they closed for a year so I don't know if they still have this but they used to and I can't remember what day it was on but that's besides the point. the hip hop music was exclusive to the lower level where dancing was happening. we went down here and had a good time for awhile... until there was a short hispanic man, 25-30 years old, who was groping girls, myself included, and trying to touch their crotches. after everyone telling him to get lost and him not taking no for an answer I finally told him to f*ck off and then turned around. assuming that he got the hint, I continued dancing with my friends until he PUNCHED ME IN THE HEAD. no exaggeration whatsoever, punched me so hard in the back of the head i was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground. when I woke up, my friends were standing around me while i was sobbing uncontrollably and the guy had ran upstairs and left. we all ran upstairs after him and to notify the police officer who was working the door. this is where it gets even worse. the police officer couldn't have cared less... in fact, he told me to sit down on a bench and "shut up". you would think he would suspect something was wrong when a man went flying out of the door and ran away, but no, he wasn't interested at all. meanwhile, a softball size knot is forming on the back of my head. I called my parents, who live all the way in willoughby hills, and they came immediately. at the point of their arrival, the place was closing. my mother and father got out of the car and knocked on the door to talk to the manager or whoever was left in charge that night only to be told to leave! I cannot make this up. they literally told my parents to go away and shut the door in their faces after they asked if there were any cameras in the basement in hopes that the incident would have been recorded. I have never been so disgusted by an establishment in my LIFE. id also like to mention the fact that the officer was black and treated me as I was some dumb white airheaded bimbo who made the entire story up for fun. perhaps if the races were reversed, the entire population of the city would be up and arms screaming racism and rallying in the streets.
we immediately went to the police station and they told us all we could do was file a police report against the officer, who the managers would not tell us the name of the officer working the door that night. defeated, we ended up going to the police station again the next day and they figured out who it was and we filed a report. as you can imagine, nothing came of it. my parents and I considered suing Touch, but decided it wasn't worth it and I moved to NYC two months later.
I would absolutely positively NEVER set foot in this place again. I can only hope and pray that they have new management for the sake of the rest of the general public but I can promise you that I will personally NEVER find out for myself. this place and the people involved that night are utterly and truly sickening and I cannot help but think about it every time I drive by and think what a POS this place is.
