Was invited here for a friends birthday party (so I'm not just coming off the street). Arrive at 5PM on a Thurs - downstairs is empty and the bouncer asks me to wait in line!!!! What a joke! Then when he finally comes up to the line of 3 people, he doesn't let me in because I have sandals on!!!! But of course every woman who has sandals on gets in. They tell me it's a liability thing. Yeah, ok. Anyway, I wouldn't waste my time here they all have attitudes.

Pros: none

Cons: big egos

On 7.26.08 3:00p.m, I attended a b-day party at Spotlight. A male, 185-190 lbs, 6 ft tall pushed me by my throat 5 ft back from where I was standing until I slipped in fell because he as drunk & I interrupted his lap dance. He then tried to strike me in my face. Only then a bouncer came to rescue me from the situation and pushed me against a column. A staff member made me walk across the floor barefoot because they did not want to look for my shoes or the guests I came with and over the glass. I had to walk across the entire event space and downstairs & outside barefoot to look for my friend who had my purse and a pair of my shoes. I am only 5’4”. A staff member of the club asked me to do I want to press charges and I told him yes. They told me that they had the man in custody; but the bouncers then told me that they let him go home. the staff then told me that in order for me to press charges I need to know how that man looked, but they refused to let me see and identify him before letting him go home. In addition, they let him enter the venue wearing a hat. In a dark space, no one is identifiable with a hat on. management didnt complete incident report or obtain the attackers name. No one called the police and theses. I was badly hurt, with a bruised lip, scratches, back pain from the fall in the club, neck pain, ankle pain, and pain in my wrist. Management didnt following a proper protocol for altercations and injury on the property. The staff at this venue did not respond quickly. The lapse of time between being able to leave the back stairwell the staff had me in, they gave 30 minutes for my attacker to leave and go home without obtaining even his name. In addition, without my purse, I had no phone to call the police and they did not provide me with a way to call the police even after I told them that I wanted to file a police report.

Pros: None

Cons: Everything...very unsafe
