I was at TMC this morning and when I kindly asked a gentleman to please not blow nicotine smoke in people’s face while waiting in line at the establishment’s patio bar because I am allergic to nicotine, a large woman who claimed to work there was disrespectful and dismissive. She told me it’s the patio and to to deal. Then threatened to have me kicked out. Upon embellishing the story, security told me they would mace me if I didn’t leave, after I stated I would leave. Staff need to be cognasant of customer’s needs and allergies. A simple apology would have sufficed. Kindness would have been acceptable. There was no reason or need for dismissal and a disregard for human health. I have filed a police report with the city of Dallas for S. long, badge # APG-108 for his non compliance of name and badge number when asked and for the establishments violations of civil liberties. My allergies were not taken seriously and not one staff member, the bar, the off duty employ or the two security guards cared or tried to emphathize with the human health violation. This is never how any customer should be treated; made to feel further victimized — without being asked my side of the issue. Threatened with mace because I stood up for my health by kindly stating, “in the future, please do not blow your smoke into a persons face.” No compassion or kindness was provided to me in my anaphylactic, anxious and traumatic state. TMC as a business pillar in the community I challenge you and your employees to do better and be a role model in the community. Especially considering that Texas law states that smoking should not occur within 15 feet of the entrance of a business and I was first in line at the bartender about to place my order.Furthermore, the female employee that identified herself as working for TMC continued to insult my husband by telling him that he had alopecia. This is not professional or how your represent an employer; on or off the clock. Why would any person insult a customer and personalize the insults to their party for having an allergic reaction. victim shaming is not okay and the fact the employees stood behind one another in this act speaks volumes.Michael Huntley

It's a hit and miss with the crowd. No control with the weed smoking on the patio. The smell is all over the bar and patio.B smyth

next time I’ll bring cash. The bartender charged me a five dollar tip which the service wasn’t all that good so I didn’t add one ! Came with a friend and paid for both of our shots and they put an additional $5 charge . Will never be back . Nice club thoughHollie S

I have visited this establishment a few times with my friends. I truly appreciate the ambiance and enjoy watching the dancers perform. There's the area outside with tables & seats to relax & talk.Brittany Skeen

Alby is the best bartender there is. I love this place and having him as my bartender just makes my experience that much better. I came here on my birthday and he gave me the best service.Mia L.
