Global BC | Woman injured after fight involving staff in Vancouver nightclub: police (http://www.globaltvbc.com/woman+injured+after+fight+in+downtown+vancouver+ni ghtclub/6442816273/story.html)

Vancouver police are investigating after a soon-to-be bride was injured in a fight during her bachelorette party at a downtown nightclub Saturday night.

Police say the 29-year-old woman was at Bar None NightClub in Yaletown when she became involved in a fight inside the bar.

When police arrived at the scene they found the Mission woman suffering from cuts to her face and leg.

In a Facebook post, a person claiming to be a friend of the victim posted a picture of her wounds.

The post says the victim was attacked by a waitress of the club unprovoked and was dragged by bouncers out of the club just three weeks before her wedding.

Police have not confirmed any of the details on Facebook, but did say there was another group involved in the fight, as well as bar staff.

“We do know that there was another group involved, other than the victim and bar staff,” says VPD spokesperson Randy Fincham. “It is important that these people come forward and tell their side of the story.”

No charges have been laid and the investigation is ongoing. In a Facebook post, Bar None Nightclub said the incident is being reviewed by the police and they club takes the safety of patrons very seriously.

The Facebook post had almost 4,000 shares and likes by Monday afternoon.

"Well lastnight we celebrated my Bachelorette Party! What started off as an amazing night with all my closest girlfriends turned into me getting viciously attacked by a waitress Bar None Nightclub. What kind of establishment has people working there who attack customers for no reason at all. I had not made eye contact nor spoke one word to her when she grabbed me from behind and threw me across a table and brutally attacked me leaving me with a concussion, cuts and bruises all over my body oh and not to mention the nice stitches across my forehead!! I was then dragged (and I mean literally dragged) out of the club by bouncers with blood gushing out of my head as if I was some punk starting fights and they acted as if what the girl had done was no big deal. What a great thing to happen 3 weeks before your getting married! Apparently this isnt the first time something like this has happened there, Ive already been told by other people that they know someone who had issues there and potentially with the same girl! Please share what happened to me and if you know someone who had an issue at this place contact me! I will be pressing charges so any extra info or witnesses would be great. A huge thank you to everyone who was by my side lastnight while I went through this I have some amazing friends and family ♥"

[Matlock]

Unprovoked? Something certainly must have made the waitress snap.

[GabAlmighty]

The last part where she mentions other people having had the same "issue" with possibly the same waitress kinda makes you wonder.

[GLOW]

will be interesting to hear more as the story unfolds

STAGETTE ENDS WITH BAR ROOM BRAWL

February 25, 2013
Vancouver police are investigating a weekend bar fight that sent one would-be-bride to the hospital with injuries.

Around 11:45 on February 23rd, police responded to the Bar None Night Club located in the 1200 Block of Hamilton Street. When they arrived, they found a 29 year old Mission woman suffering from cuts to her head and leg.

It appears that the woman was involved in an altercation inside the bar with two different groups of people. Police are working to identify all the people involved in the fight and will be reviewing video to establish what exactly went on inside the club.

“We do know that there was another group involved, other than the victim and bar staff,” says VPD spokesperson Randy Fincham. “It is important that these people come forward and tell their side of the story.”

There have been no charges laid in the case and the investigation is on-going.

Anyone that has information about this fight and has not yet spoken to police are asked to call the Vancouver Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-8477.

Honestly, I can't say how things are in other cities but in Vancouver, these Bar Management Companies and their monopoly over the city's nightlife venues makes them immune to a lot of things. Donnely Group and JR group continue to run establishments with poor service, lack of accountability and undesirable standards.

I don't know what happened in this particular situation so I'm not going to comment on it. Truthfully, when I see someone get injured at a club or in a fight in a club, I write them off as the faulty party because I've never once been in a situation where I've gotten into an altercation at a club, so why them? Of course, that's just my opinion and it may not be the truth in point.

The easy solution would be "if you don't like it, don't go there" and I honestly, don't go tho these establishments that often anymore. Maybe it's because of my age or perhaps I've grown out of it but I would rather go to a local lounge/bar than a nightclub in Vancouver simply because of the quality and service. I don't see the logic behind standing in a line or paying extra just to get into a building with music and drinks, only to be treated like shit. Bouncers, bartenders and management staff all sit on a high horse at these establishments and there is little to no accountability for incidents that occur.

Sorry for the rant, just wanted to express my views on these establishments. Please keep in mind that this is just my opinion/the way I see things, not necessarily the TRUTH.

their responses sounds a lot like:

Rasheed Wallace - Both Teams Played Hard - YouTube

[dhari]

I assume the bride-to-be was drunk and doesn't remember saying/starting shit with people. OR someone in her group started shit with someone.

Also, you can't blame the bouncers for kicking her out( I assume all parties involved were kicked out) because they don't want other customers witnessing people fighting and risking more injuries.

I used to hate bouncers but as I grow older I realize if people don't want trouble they shouldn't go to these establishments.

[Spoon]

Journalists must have it pretty easy nowadays. All their sources are from social media now. :facepalm:

[dachinesedude]

fights happen at these places all the time, whats the big deal? being a "bride to be" shouldnt be a get out of jail for free card

we'll see what donelly group has to say

Ehh, despite your humble opinion justification, I think this is pretty close to the truth.

Club fights are almost always induced by ego issues amplified by alcohol, and I don't expect this particular fight to be any different.

To address the highlighted point, sometimes(usually) they really do happen over something miniscule and petty. One time when I was out, some alpha-male-douchebag broke my friend's cheekbone because he accidentally shoulder checked him. In a fucking crowded room full of people, it's bound to happen. Sometimes that's all it takes. My friend didn't press charges, though I don't see why not. People have to learn that there'll be consequences if you wanna go out and act like a fucktard. I almost wish he hit me instead, so I could sue the shit out of him. Go ahead, call me a bitch. Excuse the language, but it took every ounce of my willpower to attend to my friend rather than fighting back and making things worse.

This is why I rarely go out to clubs anymore as well. More often than not, you're in a room full of man-children. That's including most of the staff.


Side note: her stitches are friggin gnarly.

You're exactly right PJ...it's circular. Bar Employees (males) are showing their feathers and likewise tough-guys are trying to do the same and attempting to be alpha. I could care less what happens to these people. They put themselves into these positions and have no one else to blame but themselves.

Completely agree. It always is and will always be ego fueled by alcohol. Always. Trouble follows people that look for it then they cry wolf when it finds them. It creates such a shitty vibe at clubs nowadays.

[drunkrussian]

normally I wouldn't believe the unprovoked thing. But after my experience in granville room where a stressed waitress who was having a hard time with our bill said 'is there a problem' and 'back off' and 'I'm gonna bounce you outta here' after we politely asked if we can help with the bill... I think anything is possible

It happens. I Nanaimo there was a guy who got punched out because he touched a pool ball. by anther customer. The bouncers then garbed him and tossed him out. he broke his neck and died. The same place was also being sued for beating up a customer.

The ones that so wanna be a douchebag, but don't have the money to bankroll being "true douche" and just try so hard to be a tool, but you end up laughing at their antics.

A real douchebag, you just look, call "douche" and move on.

I am really splitting hairs here. I don't know-there's a difference:) trust me.

How can you make that statement when we don't even know the full story? :badpokerface:

Any ways, if that poster is right and it was unprovoked by the waitress, then it was the victim? It's going to be fun watching the backlash. And not sure why she would want to post her scars/stitches on her professional facebook wall page - I wouldn't want to mix scars/stitches with baby pictures!

Just gotta find the right venue.

One of our favourites is Swans pub here in Vic. Live Rock/Blues bands every night. The older crowd makes a big difference. Not the type of place for gangsters & douches. WAY more enjoyable. Top 40 clubbing shit has been dead to us for a while.

[dangonay]

I'm going to have to side with the bride-to-be on this one. If you're a staff member and a customer hits you, you have no right to start beating on them. You get the bouncers to remove the person and call the police to press charges. If you suffered any injury then you file a lawsuit against the patron for pain & suffering. This is the professional way to handle the situation. There's no situation where it's OK for staff of any establishment to start assaulting customers, nightclub or otherwise. You can remove them or subdue them, and that's it.

Problem is so many bouncers seem to think they have the right to "teach them a lesson" on the way out.

If her injuries are the result of staff then she's going to collect. If they're the result on another patron then I say she's probably equally at fault.

[nma]

These clubs are such a joke. Had bottle service at venue not too long ago for a friend's birthday and the bill was ridiculous. The service was pretty awful for the amount you pay (close to 1 g for 3 bottles), and they make you pay a 20% tip. I haven't been to venue in over a year and going back reminded me why I am not keen on going clubbing at these shit holes. Filled with a bunch of 19 year olds looking to start shit, not to mention our whole section smelled like piss. If you're looking to go around, grab some ass, and potentially get punched in the face, then these clubs are just what you're looking for!

[westopher]

Its really funny when you read the Facebook comments how many people just blindly believed the bride due to their hatred for the Donnelly group. I mean, I fucking despise their bars, and their food is inedible, but it doesn't mean all logic can just go out the window.

Guess the bride was drunk as shit. But that doesn't excuse the bouncers for giving her those cuts. As some guys here have mentioned, these f-tards need to realize their actions have consequences.

It wasn't the bouncers that gave her the cut, i think she fell on the steps towards the tables, as she was trying to get up she grabbed the waitress or maybe though the waitress pushed her or something. Waitress was already standing at the top of the steps pouring drinks for another table.

there's broken glass all over the floors everywhere in those places, people break glasses all the time and especially around tables. Honestly that cut on her foreheard is pretty hard to do with finger nails, etc. I suspect it was from glass all over the floor and well she planted face down on the floor and some steps she started bleeding.

i only saw the bride grab the watress, then the waitress turned around and tried to push the bride off. Then the confrontation started. It lasted like 6 seconds and bouncers grabbed them, theres no way the waitress did this to her.

^still could be funny if we keep on trying.

I can confirm, i was peanut.

[doritos]

dumb bitches that can't accept that something that happened to them has to try and turn it around on other people and establishments just to sue or press charges. I am pretty sure the waitress had a reason if any that lead to what happened because of some drunk bitch. Maybe waitress was defending herself, in heels, pissed off with drunk mawfuckers around.

[SoloCare]

It's going to be awhile before anyone gets the truth. The bride has stated herself in her own posts on Facebook that she is fuzzy on the details. She may be acting in good faith.

Numerous articles state that the police reviewed the tapes and state no charges are warranted against the bar. They also state that there was another group of females involved. Neither Thompson nor her friends reference this other group, but they may have been relatively inebriated.

This is an unfortunate circumstance for everyone. Unfortunate for the victim as she will likely have permanent scarring. Unfortunate for the bar because they'll be roasted in the court of public opinion.

I've seen many a bar where, yes, people may get kicked out because the waitress is particularly nasty, but the story of a waitress she never dealt with coming up from behind her and smashing her head down doesn't work. One, if she attacked from behind, the victim could not have seen who it was. Two, when bar staff plays games with patrons, they're still aware they are on camera. I've been to a few bars where the staff will kick out whomever they please, but never one where they will blatantly attack a customer and get away with it. If the waitress had done it, police would have laid charges.

Police are adamant there is a 'second group'. The victim's circle of friends denies it. But police have video footage; likely the girls in the group were celebrating and were not entirely sober. They may be reporting to the best of their memory, but if video and witness reports support the bar, the bride could be facing a very nasty lawsuit because this story went viral immediately.

I've never been to Bar None, but I've been working or playing in the bar scene for nearly twenty years. I've seen all manner of insane things, and I have seen many an instance where the bar was completely in the wrong -- but usually those bars don't have cameras in the areas where the problems occur. In BC, the police or liquor inspectors can come in at any time demanding the footage, and the consequences for stupidity are outrageous. If the story the way the victim tells it had happened, the liquor board would have already been involved. (And since I was always DD, I was always sober.)

[JaPoola]

Fucking Mission trash should stay the fuck out of downtown, and off Twitter as well.

[Culverin]

She may be acting in good faith.

:suspicious:




What started off as an amazing night with all my closest girlfriends turned into me getting viciously attacked by a waitress Bar None Nightclub. What kind of establishment has people working there who attack customers for no reason at all. I had not made eye contact nor spoke one word to her when she grabbed me from behind and threw me across a table and brutally attacked me leaving me with a concussion, cuts and bruises all over my body oh and not to mention the nice stitches across my forehead!! I was then dragged (and I mean literally dragged) out of the club by bouncers with blood gushing out of my head as if I was some punk starting fights and they acted as if what the girl had done was no big deal. What a great thing to happen 3 weeks before your getting married! Apparently this isnt the first time something like this has happened there, Ive already been told by other people that they know someone who had issues there and potentially with the same girl! Please share what happened to me and if you know someone who had an issue at this place contact me! I will be pressing charges so any extra info or witnesses would be great.



Making accusations and pressing charges AND throwing up a public page....


Doesn't sound like acting in good faith to me.




If the waitress is pronounced innocent, is there going to an opposite smear page on facebook?

[SoloCare]

This incident is going to spark nasty precedence no matter what. Even if the bar is found 100% not at fault, the damage is done.

[Spoon]

I've never been to Bar None, but I've been working or playing in the bar scene for nearly twenty years.

You must really enjoy the bar scene to bother making a new account just to comment on this topic. :smug:

[SoloCare]

Truth be told, I don't like the bar scene. Never really did. Nearly twenty years of being sober while everyone around me is liquored killed the bar scene for me.

But I've also seen a lot of stagettes. I feel sympathy for the victim, but it's not fair to blame the bar for something you admit you cannot actually remember.

This incident hurts every single establishment out there -- not just bars. By what the victim has done, she's basically declared open season. This went viral in what, an hour or two? What happens next time someone wants to make a complaint (justified or not)? Businesses should not be made to suffer because of what one person says online.

Truth be told, I don't like the bar scene. Never really did. Nearly twenty years of being sober while everyone around me is liquored killed the bar scene for me.

But I've also seen a lot of stagettes. I feel sympathy for the victim, but it's not fair to blame the bar for something you admit you cannot actually remember.

This incident hurts every single establishment out there -- not just bars. By what the victim has done, she's basically declared open season. This went viral in what, an hour or two?

Since you work at Barnone, can you get me in the VIP ?

It wasn't the bouncers that gave her the cut, i think she fell on the steps towards the tables, as she was trying to get up she grabbed the waitress or maybe though the waitress pushed her or something. Waitress was already standing at the top of the steps pouring drinks for another table.

there's broken glass all over the floors everywhere in those places, people break glasses all the time and especially around tables. Honestly that cut on her foreheard is pretty hard to do with finger nails, etc. I suspect it was from glass all over the floor and well she planted face down on the floor and some steps she started bleeding.

i only saw the bride grab the watress, then the waitress turned around and tried to push the bride off. Then the confrontation started. It lasted like 6 seconds and bouncers grabbed them, theres no way the waitress did this to her.

you manage to pass that info onto the police?

I assume that you're joking but a big part of the problem is how these places are put on a pedestal.
Stand out in the rain for a couple of hours, pay them to let you in (and once you're in sometimes the place is empty) so they can sell you overpriced drinks and then, for 70% of the guys in there, to stand there with their boys watching others have fun.

Vancouver's nightlife is a joke. I've been to LA, Seattle, and SF to club, not to mention that they have better venues and nicer bouncers down there. They don't make you wait for hours to get into the club. There's no such thing as greasing either. Vancouver's nightlife industry altogether is stuck-up as hell, they charge double the cover of other major North American cities, and provide next to no service. That's why I rarely go clubbing here anymore.

If I can get better treatment from bouncers in the meatpacking district in NYC than I do in Vancouver, then you know something is wrong in this city. Vegas is really the only place where you should have to grease, and even then, at least the bouncers treat you respectfully when negotiating a price.

The problem in Vancouver with nightlife is that you have a bunch of kids who live at home and dealers who have gobs of money burning holes in their pockets.

I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but just had to rant about all the club kiddies ruining Library Square. Huge line up by 9pm, stuck up girls all dolled up and dressed in shiny sequin skirts & high heels

Had some good times there two years ago. No longer :(

Weird how that "pub" turned into a "club." And residents were complaining about the old Voda Night Club around the corner years back because it was too loud. Go figure.

What's funny is that Friday nights, which are supposed to be for people like me who are north of 30 have now become overrun with kids who have no idea who C&C Music Factory are.

But hey, whatever pays the bills right? And I don't think any guys complain about short skirts when they hit Lib Square or the Lamplighter.

I went to Lib Sq. once last year on a Friday night, and never again. Place was shit-packed as fuck. I've never been to such a crowded club in my life. I was consistently rubbing shoulder-to-shoulder on the dance floor. Did not have a good time at all.

The music was good though.

Really? All the times I been there it was awesome and I wanted to go back for awhile now. That's too bad :okay:

So someone a couple of days ago tagged revsene in the comment thread:

"Sarah Dixon Posted: before I read the entire thread, I would strongly urge Alysha to contact the police re: this guy 'Dohboi' on the forum, he was at the table next to theirs (posted a receipt from that night proving it was truth) and says he saw it, so he is a witness.

I've only lived in Vancouver since 2010, but what I've heard people complain about (and I completely agree) is that Donnelly places are all the same soulless, cater-to-everyone establishments.

Like, where I come from, each place will have a theme or an idea, and the bar is based around that idea. But here, the Donnelly places will try to be a pub, club and sports bar all at the same time... excelling at none, but catering to "everyone".

The result is a whole bunch of bland, generic bars that people basically 'have' to go to since Donnelly owns so many of the places downtown.

The poor management/service is just the shitty icing on top of the shitty cake.

Yeah, but he says it wasn't the waitresses fault, so like hell the woman will contact him.

[westopher]

You can even see the way she responds to all this. If someone says they were there and supports the brides story its obviously true. If someone says they were there and it doesn't match the brides story, they are just "internet trolls looking for a moment in the spotlight" The brides story was spoken as factual by her from the beginning, then once there were any other details "her details were hazy." If that doesn't scream a liar looking for a moment in the victim spotlight I don't know what does.
People get the shit kicked out of them at bars all the time. No one really will give a fuck about this in 10 days from now. There is no "spotlight" to be had by people that say they were there. By the time any info is figured out about this people will have long found another internet cause to blindly follow.

These clubs are such a joke. Had bottle service at venue not too long ago for a friend's birthday and the bill was ridiculous. The service was pretty awful for the amount you pay (close to 1 g for 3 bottles), and they make you pay a 20% tip. I haven't been to venue in over a year and going back reminded me why I am not keen on going clubbing at these shit holes. Filled with a bunch of 19 year olds looking to start shit, not to mention our whole section smelled like piss. If you're looking to go around, grab some ass, and potentially get punched in the face, then these clubs are just what you're looking for!

Truth.

[multicartual]

Just gotta find the right venue.

One of our favourites is Swans pub here in Vic. Live Rock/Blues bands every night. The older crowd makes a big difference. Not the type of place for gangsters & douches. WAY more enjoyable. Top 40 clubbing shit has been dead to us for a while.


Yep, once you know a city you can pretty much tell by the way people dress what the night will end up being like.


Bar None, Cabana, Brooklyn, Granville Room... so many places I can list are basically HIVES of douchebag activity. Fucking Cabana is literally like the Alien Mother nest of douchebags and whores, and Brooklyn after 3 AM is a parade of fucking screaming idiots in full douchebag attire.

[multicartual]

Fucking Mission trash should stay the fuck out of downtown, and off Twitter as well.


Eww she was from Mission?!

LOL, I'm so ignorant with what's happening in what bars especially in Vancouver. I'm older then most of you, I rarely go to the bar unless it's a pub near my house. Probably 6 or 7 years ago I went to Library Square (one and only time) with some friends after a Canucks game, there was so many gay dudes there, almost no woman I actually thought it was a Gay Bar. I've seriously thought that right up until reading this thread......Haha, whatever we still had fun that night.

[lowside67]

When police arrived at the scene they found the Mission woman suffering from cuts to her face and leg.

Yup Library Square sucks ass now. I always had a good time there few years ago but the crowd's changed, the lines are longer, and you can no longer get in just by waiting in line. Can't believe some people actually line up from 10PM til midnight to get in. The bouncers are fuckin scumbags and they know that everyone waiting in those huge ass lines eventually gives in and greases them.

[knight604]

Hahah its funny cause its so true, if you don't have status or money , you are going to wait in line for clubs.

[Sid Vicious]

99% of the people who say the nightlife in vancouver sucks are forever alone losers who probably just sit in a corner amongst themselves drinking the whole night.

now i agree granville sucks because of the lineups, but gastown and other areas are money full of hot available girls.

[sonick]

Speaking of Gastown, now Portside is starting to get ridiculously busy, line-up at like 7:30 this past Saturday!

At least the crowd still isn't as shitty as Library Square...

[meowjinboo]

What are the busy bars downtown on weekends now?

[westopher]

after hitting a few clubs in Vegas...

Vancouver bars, never again.
Yeah, 600 dollar bottles and peacocking by flashing your money around a bunch of gold diggers is just irresistible. I'll stick to my 6 dollar pints here in van surrounded by hot scenester girls.
