The bouncer raised his voice at me twice for laying over my husband's lap and the second time he tried to touch me for no reason. Then he threw us out after we spent over $70.00 in drinks...\n\nAfter dancing with my husband for a while, I was a bit tired. The two of us went back to the seats at the entrance of Soma, and sat. I relaxed on his lap as he stroked my back. Suddenly I hear a loud confrontational voice saying \"You can't sleep here\". I raise my head to see this large brute leaning in close to our table. After he walked away, I felt like this was uncalled for since I was not sleeping. And I was not passed out, nor alone. I had only drank SPARKLING WATER with LEMON and our friend Earl who was with us, as well as the bartenders were witnesses to this. \nI said to my husband, \"I wasn't sleeping!\".\nHe told me not to worry about it and to just relax. \nSo I just let it go and relaxed over my husband's lap again and he continued comforting me.\n\nShortly after, the same large brute comes back really aggressively with an even louder voice saying \"you can't sleep here\" and this time he tried to touch shoulder in front of my husband! \n\nMy husband had to protect me and had to BLOCK THE BOUNCER'S HAND by pushing it away. My husband told him \"She isn't sleeping.\" He repeated \"no sleeping\" like a mindless parrot. I sat up straight, looked him in the eyes and said \"I WASN'T SLEEPING!\" The offensive bouncer then said \"you're out.\" \n\nMy husband and I asked him what his name was. He refused to tell us. We persisted, asking him for his name simultaneously over 10 times, when he finally spit a name out, claiming his name was \"Pete\". \n\n\nI felt harassed. Me, my husband and our big friend Earl were the only ones in the sitting area. We were not harassing or bothering anyone. I was not asleep, and was with my husband. \n\nI believe we were unfairly singled out. Furthermore, our friend Earl who sat next to my husband was the same size as this large bouncer, and the bouncer didn't bother him at all! Total coward! Coming after the woman, huh?\n\nBetween all of us, we spent over $70.00 in drinks at Soma.\n\nObviously these people don't recognize or honor customers.\n\nIn contrast, a girl at the bar was absolutely intoxicated and rubbing up against strangers and forgetting her drinks on the table. No bouncer approached her in concern. While I, who had simply laid to rest briefly on my husband's lap, and only drank sparkling water, was yelled at, almost touched by a large brute bouncer, and thrown out.\n\nOn what basis? I am contacting the manager. Don't waste your time here. They are expensive and evidently have a problem in how they train or pick bouncers. I am extremely offended and will never return. I will tell everyone I know how this bouncer tried to put his hand on me and yelled at me for nothing."^^ . .
