Dock's

[Bad experience]

Has anyone else had an extremely bad experience here??? Every time I go there it always seems like something bad happens. I was there on the weekend and went to squeeze onto the dance floor, and someone threw a glass into the dance floor and it broke on my friends hand and sliced anothers finger. Then we go to the bathromm, for one it is hard to get a stall with all the "fun" going on inside them, but some girl spills her drink with grenadine all over my white shirt (i thought drinks were not allowed into the bathrooms.
On other occasions I have had friends that have been drugged, and worse. My friends and I have also had guys that try to pick us up try to beat us up when we turn them down.
What is wrong with this place, am I just cursed not to go there, or is there really problems going on. (I go to all the other bars and always have a really good time, so I don't think that it is me)
Share your experiences good or bad.

[docks SUCKS]

i have never EVER had a good time there. I went 2 weeks ago and got kicked out why you ask? because I tripped over someone on my way to the bar and they thought i was "Drunk" the time was about 11:30 pm i had just arrived to the bar paid a stupid cover charge so i can buy 15 dollar beer then got kicked out not cool. I have boy cotted this bar since. The bouncers are a joke. I will stick to foggys, madisons, top hat where i get treated with respect. F#*K docks. the service sucked as well.

don't trip over the 50000 people in there or your considered "Drunk"

I can say with all honest that everytime i go there i never have a good time. 1. too many people. 2. hard to get a drink 3. never get a pool table 4. drink prices are way to much i agree 15.50 i think it is for a jug foggys and madisons are also my bars of choise as well. that and well docks really isn't my scene i feel like i'm in a different town or time zone hehe...

The bouncers at Docks are all on Power trips. You never know from one weekend to the next if they are going to approve your ID. Sometimes the LCBO card will get you in and at other times it doesn't. There has been numerous times where 100 people are made to wait in line while the bar is not even close to its capacity. Then there have been times when you have to wait in line again if you want to go out for a smoke.I dont understand why people go there, I dont understand why I still go there.

[glow=red,2,300][/glow]Why do we go there then? Why dont we all go to the Eastgate on Fridays. Is it opened? I guess it might interfere with live bands or something. I mean its bigger, the drinks must be cheaper, the dance floor isnt the size of a broom closet and hopefully if we all go there, Docks bouncers wont have jobs there. So would this not work? Do we go to Docks because it looks classy. We sure dont get treated like classy people there. I really dont mind drinking a mixed drink out of a dixie cup...do you?

[wouldntyouliketoknow]

i totally agree...doesn't anyone remember the days when the Eastgate was the place to be .... i never really understood why we stopped going there, the air conditioning suck, but oh well...at least you don't feel like your in a sardine can, and if you want to play pool...great, the tables are outta the way!.... I think everyone should come together and bring back the Eastgate, because quite frankly, every bar in this city is beginning to suck (well not beginning, they do) and i'm sick of paying a $60 cab ride to go to another country and risk having to swim home if someone steals your cab!.....let the americans come to us again!..... there is no reason why this can't happen..it used to be fun, so let's make it fun again!!!!!!

[joe joe the helper monkey]

eastgate has a stink to it. like a old smell but when theres 200 people in it with perfume can't smell sqwat. I dunno I have always liked the eastgate just didn't like the owners. I'll stick to madisons and foggys oh and top hat but I fucking hate docks

[itsasecret]

I agree Madisons and Foggies are great bars and they dont treat people like shit. We also need a dancing bar (other then dancing to live bands). Ya there is the Rock, but that has always been for Saturday nights and a lot of people already dont like to go there, lots of young ones go there. Fridays nights at the Eastgate could be of mixed ages. I really wish we could get the word out for people to stop going to Docks. I do agree that the Eastgate needs some ventilation, but it cant be as stuffy as the Docks bouncers personalities.

The Eastgate does have dancing on Friday's and a hot female DJ, that likes to play all kinds of music, not the same dj working at all the bars.

[itsasecret]

Ok so how can we convince people to go there?

Tell the owners to do some advertising, or run some specials, or lots of word of mouth.
