From the community

I paid the cover charge and bought drinks and tipped, then asked the doorman if I could step out and come back, and he said yes. When I returned, they refused to let me back in, and the security guard put his hands on me, violently pushing and shoving me. They didn't refund my five dollars. The security guard said I looked homeless and that he didn't want me in the club. I will never go back.
