So the other night i took out my good friend from college and a bunch of his buddies who were in town to visit...
I figure me, being the local, would show them a good time. I usually don't go out on wednesday nights but this was the only day i was free.
The only club that gets good on wednesdays is B.E.D. (upscale, but small and really overhyped), so i decided to take them there. I never go clubbing there but i'm there every once in awhile during their dinner hours.
I know wednesday night is their most exclusive night and i've heard stories about their door people, so I called the promoter for that night to be sure, who is an acquitance of one of my friends and told him to put me on the list for bottle service (between 7 people we were gonna get 2-3 bottles). He says no problem, just try to be there at 12:30am.
So we get to the club before it gets crowded and i'm talking to the doorman...I could tell he was kind of a prick but he figured i wasn't a tourist so at first he didn't give me a hard time. So he finds my name and then asks where my party is, so i point behind to my friends and he goes "sorry, not enough girls".
So i explain my situation and after he sees that i'm with mostly guys, he says "we have you down here for 6 bottles"..
which was a complete lie.So he ends up showing me my name on the guestlist for half a second and he points to"<My name> + 6". What it actually was, was the # of people in my party, and i caught onto that right away. I was extremely pissed that he assumed i was that stupid, but i kept my cool and called him out on his lie.
So tries to change his tune and the next thing he says is "ok, well 7 people.. 4 bottle minimum". Now, i know that this particular club's policy is a minimum of 1 bottle per 4 people...but of course the door people always try to run that game on out of towners.
At that point i was so aggravated, and embarrassed, i just let it be and decided to call my friend so to see if he could handle it..but i couldnt' get in touch with them till the next day. He apologized and told me that particular doorman tries to do that often.
We ended up leaving and went somewhere else where i knew people but the question is...how the hell are you gonna take a VIP reservation and then do something like that and ruin everybody's night? We could have easily purchased the 4 bottles but i was so pissed that he thought i was gonna give in...
Looking back, we should have booked 2 separate tables to make the group seem smaller instead of all at once, but i was told that it wouldnt be a problem.
