Mansion, a group of bouncers and the Opium Group find themselves in a whole mess of trouble after three University of Delaware students say they were beat up by nearly a dozen bouncers after they refused to pay their bill. According to the Miami Herald, the group was told to skedaddle from their table because they needed it for other patrons. The students asked for their bill but when the waitress told them it was $700, they asked to see a physical copy because they didn't agree with the charges. Here is where things get messy:
At this point, a third person came over to the table and asked the students to come into an office in the back, which was filled with roughly 10 bouncers. When the young men again refused to pay without seeing a tab, employees of the club turned physical.
[...]
Sweeney, who is over six feet tall and 200 pounds, was taken to the floor with a choke-hold. After taking a few kicks, he passed out. The bouncers also went to work on Merryman and Costello.
The students then agreed to pay the $700 with a credit card and were told that Costello and Sweeney could go. But the bouncers said they weren't through with Merryman, according to Dennis.
''We're going to teach you a lesson,'' one told Merryman, said Dennis, who did not know what was meant by that.
Sweeney and Costello refused to leave without their friend, and all three took another round of blows. Finally, Merryman was able to barge past two bouncers and out a side door, where he was met by Miami Beach police, who were headed in the other direction.
Opium Group, you should remind your bouncers that they are not the law, not even within your buildings.
Oh and futher proof bouncers aren't the brightest of the bunch -- the whole thing was supposedly caught on video! I mean come on, a few of them had to know a camera was there.
Now they can sue the thieves and the thug's. I eat in South Beach all the time and the waitresses are always scratching out or covering up the already added in gratuity so that they'll get tipped twice.
They give out free passes to hotel's to give to their guests but when they get there they're charged full price minus 5 buck's. By the way Shaq would have just swung and missed, just like a free throw.
Let's boycott!
Let this be a lesson to all clubs, do not let bouncers make business or management decisions. Theres a reason they are hired muscle and not managers. They are stooooooopid.
I know many first rate five star clubs, where the guards are big, but very professional. Check out The Fifth, and see the difference.
I hope these guys sue the hell out of the Opium group and Mansion, and each bouncer individually. I hope they smear their name with enough filth so as to insure this company closes down for good.
It may sem a long shot, but with the video...there is hope.
And as for the comment from the 305, check this boyee...anyone can talk tough through annonimity, it takes a little more courage to do so face to face. Go visit these boys and tell them that.
My guess is anyone needing to jump 11 to 3 is a coward and a thug, not eevn Dr. Dre would do that.
Shows what little fortitude and education we have in this city.
Damn straight Antonio...couldn't agree more. I hope the inmates at the miami-dade county jail show these fuckers a good time.
You are everything that is wrong with Miami. Its okay to beat these kids over what you say they may have done? Did you see the video of this felon dumbfuck bouncer pacing around kicking this poor kid? You are a fucking moron.
I hope these boucers get what they deserve.
fuck the 305! a bunch fools hyped on that juice. most bouncers aren't even in proper physical shape. just a bunch of overweight dudes who use to play high school football trying to feel self-important . the job of a bouncer is to SUBDUE or to RESTRAIN. but considering most of the guys working at these club doors can't spell either of those two words what do you expect. i hope this wackass, overpriced and overrated club, like everything else in South Bitch gets shut down!
