My Review 

I was having fun on my first night in Buenos Aires and chatted with some new people I met. All of a sudden two club security guards grabbed me and accused me of pick-pocketing a young mans cell phone. I was pulled through the club, to the exit, to a small waiting area where they made me empty my pockets then friscked me. I showed them I had no cell phone at all and pleaded with them that it wasn't me and I didn't understand anything that they we're talking about. They continued to accuse me of stealing the man's phone and that they would call the police and I would be arrested, sent to jail and could not get out until I had a lawyer. After I continued to plea with them and they could plainly see I didn't even have a cell phone on me, they went through my wallet and told me to give them all of the money. After I gave them everything I had in my wallet, they asked what is my address, put me in a taxi and gave the driver some of the money to take me to that address and not let me out of the cab until I was there. Be careful with this place. I had been on a previous vacation to Buenos Aires and had a lot of fun, but I will never go back and would advise others that if they go, be very careful or just avoid the club all together.
