On a décidé d’aller là-bas un vendredi soir. J’y suis allé avec ma copine et un pote, et on attendait encore un autre pote et sa cousine. À l’entrée, rien à dire, tout s’est bien passé. Mais dès qu’on est montés à l’étage, je suis sorti sur la terrasse pour appeler mon pote afin de lui indiquer l’endroit. Pendant que j’étais au téléphone avec lui, un monsieur d’une cinquantaine d’années, visiblement bien alcoolisé, est venu m’accuser de le filmer, alors que j’étais simplement en communication. Je lui ai expliqué calmement que j’étais juste au téléphone, mais il a insisté de manière très désagréable en me disant : « Tu es en train de me filmer, arrête de me prendre pour un con, je vais appeler un videur pour te virer ! » En plus de ça, il m’a poussé. Heureusement, je sais me contrôler, car mon premier réflexe aurait été de lui répondre directement. Il est donc parti chercher un videur, mais celui-ci a dû comprendre qu’il était ivre, car personne ne m’a rien dit au final. Pendant ce temps, mon pote m’expliquait au téléphone que la sécurité en bas refusait de le laisser entrer, lui et sa cousine, sous prétexte qu’ils n’étaient pas majeurs… alors qu’ils ont respectivement 24 et 25 ans ! Finalement, ils ont pu rentrer après insistance. Bref, pour un lieu comme celui-ci, il faudrait mieux filtrer les clients : ne pas laisser entrer les personnes déjà ivres et faire sortir celles qui posent problème, car ça crée des histoires inutiles. Mis à part ce désagrément au début, le reste de la soirée s’est très bien passé : personnel très gentil et ambiance agréable pour un prix raisonnable vu l’endroit que c’est.
