ENTER BAR BUDDA AT YOUR PERIL!

I was in Bar Budda on Saturday 6/08/2016, my daughter and I went for a few drinks after a lovely meal at a nearby restaurant and the bar wasn’t busy, however the music was playing and the small crowd seemed merry. Into our second drink a young lady who was at the far end of the bar towards the toilets appeared to suffer from what I could only describe as an epileptic seizure and collapsed to the floor shaking and making involuntary jerking movements.

The music was turned off and some staff and customers came to her aid and put her in the recovery position, a female appeared who I believe was a member of the security team within the bar, she very loudly stated that the customer who was on the floor having a fit was in her words “AT IT” stating that there was nothing wrong and the girl was faking it! I must hazard a guess and say the female member of the security team must be a qualified doctor or at least have extensive medical training to give that diagnosis.

While all this was going on the bar decided to put the music back on as the girl lay on the floor and continued to have what appeared to be an epileptic fit. The girl eventually came round and got up off the floor and was challenged by the security staff for her behaviour (having a fit) an argument started between them as the female security person was very confrontational and aggressive she started pushing the customer across the floor towards the front door as she clearly wanted the girl out of the bar.

I challenged the manager on what I had just witnessed, however. He just said he was dealing with it, he wasn’t dealing with anything and he appeared to be hiding behind his staff. An ambulance arrived, however the girl had already been ejected from the bar and the police appeared, they started taking statements from the paramedics and I approached them and stated I wanted to make a statement of what I saw as it was absolutely shocking.

As I stood outside waiting to speak with the police a doorman from budda came outside and became very hostile towards me and verging on aggressive asking to my surprise, why I was looking at him and in his words “growling at him” he started walking towards me as I was standing on the curb. A police officer told him to be quite and go inside the pub and stand.

I eventually gave my statement to the police and went back inside budda, I asked for the manager as I wanted contact details for the bars head office so I could register a complaint and was told he wouldn’t speak to me and was handed a piece of paper with a phone number. The number is for bar budda, the bar that I want to complain about, I assume the manager wants me to complain about his bar to him. Really?

I was approached by 3 members of the security team and told I and my daughter must leave the bar. Clearly that was our intentions, however to be surrounded and told you must leave in a threatening manner is very unsettling, somewhat intimidating. What we witnessed was truly disgraceful and distressing behaviour from the staff, in particular the security staff at bar budda.

Overall it was an extremely unpleasant evening in bar budda, especially for the young lady who appeared to be having a seizure and then was violently ejected onto the street. AVIOD!
