La Torche

I wouldn’t frequent this club, but I would come if I decide at the last minute I want to go out.
My GPS led me to the back door of the club, which was locked. I walked to the other side of the building, and I would’ve missed the entrance if my friend hadn’t come outside to get me. The door was literally a hole in a wall… there was no big sign that you can see from far away. I arrived at approximately 1 am, and by then, I was the only person at the door. I was patted down by security, but nobody checked my ID. I certainly don’t look my age, so I don’t know how the staff could’ve known my age without checking my ID. That was the first red flag. The second red flag was the lack of a dress code. Many men in there were dressed in t-​shirts, jeans, and sneakers. Relaxed dress code means the potential of bringing trouble makers in there. Maybe I would’ve had more fun if I were more drunk. The music was strictly hip-hop…the DJ didn’t play a variety of genres. I got bored after a while and left.
La Torche has been on the news for violence. If they tighten security and impose a stricter dress code, maybe I will feel better about going there.
