Good for passing the time, but not very comfortable.

I went to the club's opening on March 8th, 2026, and was assaulted by an alleged security guard who broke two of my teeth. To this day, almost two months later, I have received no support from any representative of the club. There has been no public statement, nor have they even informed me of the assailant's identity.
