We were talking to the police that night about it and they were very understanding and could see that we were all upset but they said if we were to press charges all eight of us would have to go to the station along with the bouncers and they could not advise us how long we would be there. We were flying back home to Ireland that morning and we just said all we wanted to do was go home we did not want to spend another min in the place. I just feel they got away with it. That is why I feel everyone should be warned about how brutal and savage they were. As I said we are all glad to be home. Thanks for your advice though i'm going to chat to my friends about this and see about reporting them. In this day and age they shouldn't get away with what they did. A week later and I'm still annoyed!!!
Annie,
You are not the first person this has happened too, I am an Edinburgh local and the LULU door men are known to be some of the most brutal and heavy handed in the city. I hope this has not put you of visiting the city again. To anyone else who reads this comment I would recommend staying clear of LULU - there are many other night clubs in George street well worth a visit.
Thanks for saying that at least we are not the only ones who think this. And I'm sorry to say it but yes it has put me off visiting the city again it was my first time in Scotland as was it for my friends and none of us would be in a hurry back after that. No offence to you but if you came to Ireland and were treated like that you would feel the same way. I can guarantee you that would never ever happen here. Men do not put there hands on a woman unless they are brawling and fighting and carrying on and I assure you this was not the case. I'm still so annoyed over it. They spoilt our weekend!
A really bad experience obviously - did you report the bouncers - they belong to a professional evaluation body that regulates doorman and takes complaints seriously.
