IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE MODELING INDUSTRY, KNOW A PROMOTER OR YOU'RE NOT A CELEB, THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR PPL OF COLOR (AFRO-AMERICAN/BLACK).

I PERSONALLY WAS DISCRIMINATED BY THE DOOR STAFF. I ARRIVED B4 THE WELL KNOWN PROMOTER(S) AND I HAD TOLD THE DOORMAN WHO'S CREW I WAS WITH. HE MADE ME STAND ON THE SIDE AND WAIT. A GROUP OF CAUCASIAN PPL CAME TO THE DOOR WITH SAME MSG I GAVE THE DOORMAN MAN THEY WERE WITH THE SAME PROMOTERS/CREW I WAS TELLIN HIM ABOUT. HE LET THEM GO RIGHT IN, THEY WERE NOT DRESSED IN PROPER ATTIRE OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER. THE DOOR STAFF ALSO INVITED RANDOM PPL IN THAT WAS JUST WALKING BY. WHOEVER THE DOORMAN WAS, HE WAS LOOK'N OUT THE CORNER OF HIS EYES TO SEE IF I WAS LOOKING. YES I WAS LOOK'N AT THE WRONG SH'T YOU WERE DOING, BUT IT WAS OK B/C I GOT IN AND ENJOYED MYSELF. I SAY THIS TO THE SECURITY STAFF.... THEY WON'T LET YOUR PPL IN BUT THEY USE U AS SECURITY TO KEEP YOUR OWN PPL OUT.

I SAY IT AGAIN IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE CATEGORY ABOVE OF THE PPL I MENTIONED, YOU WILL HAVE A VERY HARD TIME OR YOU WILL NOT GET AND THE SAD THING IS, IT'S NOT EVEN THAT SERIOUS.

I'M A MODEL AGENT SO I RARELY HAVE TROUBLE GET'N INTO CAIN B/C I KNOW RICHARD, I EVEN KNOW SOME OF THE STAFF AND BATHROOM ATTENDANTS AND ONE BOUNCER LIVES LITERALY ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME.

I LIKE THIS PLACE AND I HAVE NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. THE PPL YOU'RE WITH WILL USUALLY MAKE THE VENUE GOOD. THIS VENUE HAS BECOME ONE OF MY PLAN B SPOTS. I LIKE IT.

LIKE ALEXIA SAID, IT'S GREAT BEYOND THE DOOR.

THE VENUE, THE MUSIC AND CROWD IS ON POINT. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS.

I LOVE THE ARENA SET UP WHERE THE TABLES ARE HIGHER THAN ONE ANOTHER

IT'S SAD THAT THE DOORMAN CAN MAKE A PLACE LOOK BAD.

THE PLACE WAS JUST OK, IT'S JUST ANOTHER VENUE WITH THE SAME PPL, SAME PROMOTERS, SAME MUSIC AND DISCIMINATING DOORMAN.

MY OPINION, NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO, THE PPL MAKES THE VENUE FUN. I GO THERE WITH MY PPLS ALL THE TIME. I HAD ONLY ONE BAD EXPERIENCE WHICH WAS WITH THE DOORMAN. I HAD ON PROPER ATTIRE AND I WAS WITH A FELLOW MODEL AGENT. THE PROMOTER CAME OUT TO GET US AND HE LET THE DOORMAN KNOW WHO WE ARE. THE DOORMAN LOOKS AT MY COWORKER AND SAY'S "HE'S COOL" AND THEN LOOK AT ME LIKE I HAD THE H1N1 VIRUS AND DIDN'T WANT TO LET ME IN LIKE I WAS A HOODLUM. SO WHILE WE'RE GOING IN, HE TELLS ME TO TAKE OFF MY HAT (WHICH WAS A FIRST) BUT IT WAS OK, I TOOK IT OFF UPON ENTRY. I GET IN AND I SEE HALF THE VENUE WITH YANKEE FITTED BASEBALL CAPS ON. NOW I'M MAD AS HELL B/C I HAD ON AN A/X SCULLY WHICH IS A DESIGNER BRAND FOR A VENUE LIKE 1 OAK. SO I PUT MY HAT BACK ON. THE DOORMAN WAS BEHIND ME LIKE AS IF HE WAS FOLLOWING ME. HE TELLS ME "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO TAKE YOUR HAT OFF" I'M TELLING HIM HALF THE CLUB HAVE ON HATS. HE'S LIKE I DON'T CARE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THAT BUT I CALL THAT DISCRIMINATING. IT IS WHAT IT IS BUT IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS FOR HIM TO SINGLE ME OUT. SO RATHER THAN MAKE A SCENE, I TOOK MY HAT OFF AND IT KILLED MY NIGHT. I HAD TO LEAVE THE GIRLS I KNOW AND I LEFT.

LIKE I SAID, THE PLACE WAS OK BUT THE PPL THEY GIVE POWER TO AT THE DOOR WILL MAKE THE PLACE GO DOWN AND PPL WILL GIVE NEGATIVE OPINIONS.

1st i like to say, the Doorman discriminates against african american. I work in the modeling industry so i'm always with beautiful women which makes these venues good. He gives me a hard time knowing damn well i'm with girls. After she contacted the owner, he STILL gives me a hard time getting in. so finally i'm going in and he tells me "next time dress up a lil bit more". So i get in and there are ppl that are NOT dressed up. That's not right and it's Discriminating. But however, it is what it is. the Venue was JUST OK, it's small and there are the same ppl you see in other places. To the doorman that's there on Fri & Sat, it's not that serious and NOT every black man will be a problem. Sad thing is, he's black too.
