This club needs to reevaluate how it treats its customers. Last night, a tall white bouncer choked a black male college student nearly to death. This is disgraceful behavior, and these bouncers need to be fired and held accountable for their actions.
I wish I could say I enjoyed this but the utter disrespect I experience by everyone was ridiculous. The bouncers were overly aggressive almost choking my friend.

Extremely unprofessional and violent bouncers who put my friend in a chokehold and threatened to pepper spray him. This is not a place worth going to if the bouncers are going to nearly kill someone just for using a fake id. Especially a college student.
Two bouncers physically attacked my friend, pinned him against a vehicle, put him in a chokehold, and threatened to mace him over an ID. Awful place, awful people.

My friend was simply trying to enter the club with a legitimate ID on his second attempt. He is a 5'6" 20-year-old college student who was put in a chokehold and threatened with mace just for arguing that he was over 18 and had a valid ID. This excessive abuse of power could have been avoided with a simple verbal warning, but instead, the white bouncer immediately resorted to violence. I am beyond furious that the bouncers at this club will potentially face zero consequences for almost killing my friend, who did nothing wrong except being Black and standing up for himself.

I am absolutely outraged that the bouncers at this club are allowed to get away with nearly killing my friend, who posed no threat whatsoever, other than being Black and standing up for himself. He was simply trying to enter the club with a valid ID on his second attempt. The fact that this happened to him—and would never have happened to anyone who wasn’t Black—speaks volumes about the blatant racial discrimination at play here. My 5'6" friend, a 20-year-old college student, was put in a chokehold and threatened with mace simply for arguing his case that he was over 18 and had a legitimate ID. This shocking abuse of power could have been avoided with a simple verbal warning, but instead, the bouncer, who was white, immediately resorted to violent force. The bouncers at Boardner's clearly lack the ability to manage a situation with anything but aggression and intimidation, and they nearly took my friend's life because of it. No one should ever have to fear for their safety in a public space, especially when they are the ones being unfairly targeted and provoked. If my friend had been physically aggressive or threatened harm, the bouncer's reaction might have been justified, but none of that actually occurred. Because of the incompetency of these bouncers, my friend will have to live with this trauma for the rest of his life, and Boardner's getting away with this is a serious violation of justice.

The bouncers used completely unnecessary force against my friend. They choked him, pinned him against a vehicle, and threatened to mace him. I will never come here. All for an id mishap.
DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Two bouncers attacked my friend and took his ID. They pinned him to a car and put him in a chokehold. He did nothing wrong and was not physically violent towards them.

There was a black guard with long locs & he was so mean… these people had a bottle with them so he kicked them out but he said “you guys won’t be allowed in, you & your whole group”. 4 people weren’t even with the group with the bottle, they were just next to them since we were in a line.
they let everyone in the club 20 minutes late and it ended 20 minutes early.
that same guard turned the lights on before the club night even ended… worst club experience everrr that guard needs to be fired

I got just a beer, but am very happy to have seen the bar's great ambiance, minus the ubiquitous TV's.
