Glow has always been one of the most unfriendliest clubs I've ever been to. Not from the crowd standpoint - more from the staff. Security are boneheads and take their job waaaay too seriously. C'mon, meathead, if you really wanted to be a cop you should have studied for that cop exam harder. Oh, you're afraid of actual violence on the street, so you chose your little pond where you could live out your glory days as a high-school jock? Great choice!
Just to give you an idea: I'm in the restroom in Glow. Some dude is doing something illegal in bathroom stall behind me. This big gorilla storms in, knocking all doors open. Catches this moron red-handed. Well, norm should be - give him to the cops and call it a night. Nope, not this guy. First, he yells "What the fuck are you doing, asshole?!", then punches the guy in the chest. Next thing he does - searches him, which while understandable is not fully legal. It's not his job to search him - it's cops'. Ok, moving on. Next thing he confiscates whatever he finds and pockets it. Now, the next thing (and this totally shocked me). He asks the guy to give him his wallet. Dude gives his wallet, thinking he's looking for ID. NOOOOO... This guy takes his cash, takes guy's ID and hands the wallet back. Then he says "I know where you live mother****** now - so just keep your mouth shut and get the fuck out of my club or I'll hand you over to DC metro (police)!". He then glares at me and yells "you got a problem too, asshole?" I just turn around and walk out.
That's just one experience... not to mention plenty other fuck-ups I've been through. That's why I stopped going to Glow. It's a shit hole nowdays and this is definitely one club I would not cry over if it were permanently shut down.
DC Clubbing scene used to be so much better. Sad how fucked up it has become...
btw, speaking of glowsticks, my friend snuck his LED flashlights into the club. AS soon as he took them out, security guy took the LED's and kicked my friend out of the club without even a word. Sorry, but isn't that a bit too harsh?
