WOMEN & GAY PEOPLE BEWARE!! Do not, I repeat, do not go to this nightclub especially if you are a woman, identify as gay or are from another country. I am from NYC and went with a few friends from the UK and Germany for a hen party. Here's a breakdown if the shit night we had:
1) FIRST ASSAULT-I'm dancing with my homies when a bodyguard who was short, with a short dark colored beard and bald, caressed my back and ass as he squeezed past me in the dance floor. I turn around and tell him DO NOT TOUCH ME!! He stops dead in his tracks, looks at the disgusted look on my face and pushed me!
2) SECONDARY ASSAULT-After I slapped the shit out of him he proceeds to grab my arm, twist it behind my back, and try to kick me out of the club. I continued to put some licks on him all the while he is forcibly pulling me towards the stairs. Two of my friends tried to separate us but this dude was so aggressive he would not calm his ass down. Then he shoved my friend and I to the floor.
3) TERTIARY ASSAULT-The douche bag finally walks away huffing and puffing while my friends and I went to file a complaint. As expected, the garbage staff at the club all tried to protect each other and my attacker by denying that the assault ever happened.
Some guy came and said that there was no way one of his staff could have done such a thing and he was going to check the camera. Typical cis-white-male shit. Anyway, he disappeared never to be seen or heard from again. After waiting 40mins and calling the police the incredibly RUDE staff gave me a formal complaint form to fill out. I filled out the form and then asked what was up with the camera footage and where the fuck was the asshole that assaulted me. No one could give me a straight answer. And FYI, the policia are completely useless. So the one and only woman who worked there and was somewhat pissed off (not enough to compromise her job) told me she knows exactly who my attacker is but she refused to give me his name because they hadn't "checked the camera". Mind you, another security guard wrote a comment on my complaint form (because the business has to make a comment in response to the complaint) and said that the video footage was checked and that my attacker did not touch me. Which was complete bullshit.
Whoops! Forgot to mention the homophobic behavior oozing out of all the bouncers, security and bartender towards my friend who happens to proudly identify as a gay male. Initially refusing to serve him and then slamming his drinks down on the bar, the disrespectful comments and attitude of security. These are very nasty people and Pacha does not care one bit about the aforementioned marginalized groups for whom I type this warning.
Long story short, avoid this venue at all costs when in Barcelona. These spaniards are ridiculous, they are liars and sexual predators who have no moral compass. And I would go so far as to say avoid Pacha as a brand, a company, and a mothafuckin crew!! read more
