My friends and I love to get dressed up and go out, and this is one of few clubs/dance spots that require attire more formal than flannel and shorts. On one night when we wanted an excuse to wear a nice dress we set out for Bubble, where the bouncers at the entrance treated us like we were entering an exclusive Vegas club in jeans. Fine, bouncers are not supposed to be friendly, right? The bartender took about 40 minutes to get us our drinks, which was slightly more offensive because any girl whose skirt didn't entirely cover her bum received much more efficient service. But also, to be expected so it was fine.
The end of the night when I was closing my tab, the bartender gave me my receipt but without the debit card. Again, paying no attention when I attempted to tell him this. Fed up, tired, and ready to leave I walked around the bar entrance to get his attention. Apparently I had gotten too close to the bartender, and at 5'3 and 125 lbs I must have been VERY threatening to him because he SHOVED me away from the bar! My reaction to being pushed, unfortunately (not proud of this part) was to push back, upon which 3 bouncers lifted me up and carried me out of the club.
Now, I'd like to point out that (1) I was sufficiently sober because I had only managed about 3-4 drinks in the 5 hours I was there due to the slow service. (2) When I attempted to explain that he pushed me, they not only were unconcerned but refused to go inside and give me my card so I had to cancel it that night.
Fast forward a few weeks I meet a bouncer for Bubble working at Alive After Five and told him my story. He apologized and gave me his number telling me to text him and he will ask his boss if perhaps we can have a bottle or some special treatment to make up for the event. Although I said I would never go back, I thought I would try again for a free bottle, why not?
I texted the bouncer asking about it a bit later and of course his response was rude, short, and he didn't seem to remember who he was speaking with. What did I expect??
I have lived in Vegas and LA, where celebrities frequent some of the most famous clubs in the US and have never ever received such rude treatment. Never again!!
