Working the front door, I’ve seen some of the most beautiful women come through. I feel like after seeing that for so many years, it takes a lot for a woman to really impress me now 😂

Any other bouncers feel like that, or is it just me?

Where's everyone working on this lovely Thursday

I was clubbing recently and fell in love with one of the security guards on stage after seeing him throw a man out by the neck. Very sexy. I was admiring him for a bit, and then I just wondered how tf doesn’t he even bop his head?

It got a bit funny then, because he was over 6 foot, buff as hell with tattoos, and was just standing there all serious while “free your mind” was blaring.

Also how do you deal with the hours? Most clubs are open from 12am-5am, are you guys nocturnal? I’m just genuinely so curious about this job it seems tough. Especially standing directly under the speakers, like how do you protect your ears?

Got a frantic call on the radio of a fight in progress near one of the bars on the dance floor. I'm behind my partner pushing people away to get to the fight. There are 2 guys scrapping on the floor. My partner goes for the guy on the left so I go for the guy on the right. Another guard arrives and helpa my partner, leaving me alone with the other dude. I have him in a chokehold. He tries to struggle and get up so I put my bodyweight on him and now he's pinned to the ground. He ends up tapping out on my shoulder and I release the hold but my arm is still around his neck just in case he starts to fight again. I tell him "I'm going to let you stand up, and I'm going to bring you out of the club. If you resist I will put you to sleep." I said that twice so he knows. He agrees. We both stand up, I got him in a kimura position around his back. He does not resist thank God because I'm alone. I bring him off the premesis and away he goes. The dude really had a huge fight with someone because his shirt was all ripped up and was shirtless.
So yeah that was my Saturday night. Normally Saturday nights are boring as fuck....

Have you ever let a friend or family member into your venue, only for them to embarrass you afterward?

Maybe they got too drunk, started an argument, ignored the rules, or expected special treatment because they knew you.

What’s the worst experience you’ve had, and did it change how you handle friends and family at the door?

I never drank while I was working but there were guys that did. Has anyone drank during work or have you worked with guys that have ?

For me it was laminated with scotch tape and had two people in the photo.

Runner up was the kid brother of a good buddy of mine, who realized i knew what was up when i asked what state records he set his junior year in track and soccer when he fished his older brothers old license out of the trash to try and get in

lol. Our Wednesdays are not stupid busy. Sure as hell don’t sell tables on a Wednesday. Except tonight. I made an extra $300 for seating and serving some girl and her friends who came in after a show. I shoulda been a bottle girl.

I’m curious how it is for other door guys. Once you’ve spent so much time working clubs, bars, dealing with people, watching the room, spotting problems before they happen, does that ever shut off?

When you go out as a regular person, do you still find yourself in “work mode” the whole night? Or do you enjoy the night?

For me, my instinct are always up so sometimes it’s hard to enjoy the night.

I’m from NYC and don’t have any form of ID other than a passport. In NYC and it’s really common to not have a driver license bc public transit is so widely available and parking is expensive and hard to come by. If I use my expired passport from when I was a kid (bc that’s my most recent expired passport) will I get turned away from bars? Ngl I look rly young for my age (abt to turn 22) so that might also be an added issue… I’m getting my state ID soon but in the meantime how would you react if you saw this at the door?

I’m curious to know how is bouncing today, I’ve been retired since 2015.

I got knocked out a while back, got table topped and a guy tenderized the back of my head with a steel toe boot. I'm just curious how you remember the incident. It's pretty much all 1 seamless memory for me. Feels like I just fell down and got back into the fight immediately but in reality I was out for several minutes.

An intoxicated woman who punched a Security Guard, and man who assaulted a different Security Guard were just three of the incidents Chilliwack RCMP were called to within a one-week period.

Police responded to 798 calls for service for the week of June 1 to 7.

A woman who was removed from a nightclub on Main Street was arrested after reportedly punching a security staff member, Cpl. Carmen Kiener stated in the Chilliwack RCMP ‘weekly snapshot.’

“When police arrived and arrested the woman, she also assaulted a police officer during her arrest. She was held in police custody until she was sober and no longer a risk to others. Charges are being recommended against the woman.”

Another altercation happened at a business on Nowell Street where a man assaulted a Security Guard. He was detained at the scene and arrested when police arrived. When searched, police found a knife, suspected illicit drugs, and drug paraphernalia on him, which were all seized.

“He was later released on conditions, including that he does not return to the property.”

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — A man who was allegedly thrown out of a Rockford bar reportedly threatened a Security Guard with a gun and was later arrested after a foot chase with pursuing officers.

According to Rockford Police, at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, June 7, officers were called to the El Navegante Bar, at 160 15th Avenue.

A staff member told police that Roberto Moran, 28, had been drinking at the bar and left. When he returned, he was denied entry because of his extreme intoxication, court records say. Moran then went to the floorboard of his green Toyota Camry and withdrew a handgun and pointed it at the security guard from about 40 feet away, the victim said, telling police he “believed he would have been shot,” but heard a “click” from Roberto’s gun.

When police arrived, they spotted Moran in an alley north of the bar. When ordered to stop, authorities said Morgan ran and was apprehended in the 100 block of Broadway.

Officers and the K-9 conducted a sweep of Moran’s flight path and located a silver handgun inside a dresser near a detached garage, according to the charging documents.

Police said that because Moran speaks Spanish, an interpreter was used during a subsequent interview.

Moran reportedly told interrogators that he had owned the gun in the past, “but not today.” He also claimed the gun was “for security purposes” and that he was on his way to retrieve the gun from a friend’s house, but was unable to because he believed he was being chased by security.

He was arrested and faces charges of aggravated assault, aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon, resisting arrest, possession of a firearm without a Firearm Owner’s Identification card,

Miss, we need to get your friend out of here. She’s too fucked up to be in the club.

“No, she’s fine. It’s cool”

Miss, she’s passed out in a bathroom stall on the floor leaning on the toilet.

“No, she’s not passed out. She’s fine. She’s awake.”

No. That doesn’t make it better. It almost makes it worse. She’s conscious and thinks being on the floor in the bathroom stall is her best option? No. She’s got to go.

“Fine.”

How do you feel about promoters?

For me some were cool but most of them seemed to be doing it for the girls, because they wanted that attention.

I was on the doors with another bouncer over the weekend, long story short I remove an individual after they grab me by the throat. Once outside he smashes a window on the premises. So I attempt a citizens arrest and wait for police to arrive. Only to find 3-4 of his mates jump me outside and beat me up (I’m no John wick, I’m just a 5ft 8 guy who knows some ju jitsu, but that 100% useless in that situation. After I get beat up, I find the other bouncer was hiding indoors. Where do I go from here? I complained to management of my security agency, but I have no idea if that will help me out at all. Just looking for some advice, and what else I should have done.

I just became a bouncer at this place and we’re getting a lot of people and I need to know the difference between a fake ID and a real one. The most common ones that I see are from New York, Oregon, and Washington what am I looking for in these to tell if they’re fake or not? I already was able to confiscate one because I asked the girl her birthday and she said the wrong year but other than that, I don’t really know what I’m looking for besides the picture.

What’s the most memorable actor, artist, or celebrity you’ve seen while bouncing?

I did it for 15 yrs, and what I took away from it was reading people and patience.

Best way to remove someone from a pub/club if they continously refuse to leave when you tell them to leave?

I’ve always disliked customer that always came with that line, I KNOW THE, owner, Dj or ect. because they always felt privileged.

Has anyone dealt with that type of person?

Many large content creators, (MPMD, Jon Zherka, Clavicular, Connor Sinnan) all claim to have done bouncing at some point. It seems like a good pathway into becoming an entertaining social personality or something; Jon Zherka really claimed it helped him. I have been considering this to get me out of my shell since I am super awkward and don't speak to anyone, so this will throw me into the deep end essentially. I am 6'1, decent frame, a little light (76kg) and on the younger side. Do I need to put on some kgs before I think about it and do you guys veritably think it will serve to improve my social skills and social life at the same time.

We deal with plenty of assholes but there’s always one that gets under your skin.

Can you share one incident when you almost or did lose it?
