"I've been grateful to have been to many night clubs, 1Oak, Mission, Slate, Den, Up Down, PHD, really goes on. Been to Maru 3 times, so 3 chances, nastiest people, bouncers, staff, really goes on, will never come back again. They will discriminate, if you're a girl, judge you by looks, if you're a guy, charge ridiculous covers, to enter. They forced my group, with great ratio, to purchase a table for a couple $100s. We didn't have a cover, they literally said they only wanted to sell tables. We got a table, then another group of friends coming later. They weren't allowed to come, unless they paid a cover, even though we were together, claiming our table only covered a certain number of people. Apparently their excuse was if we paid a couple $100s for a table, a small cover shouldn't be much. When you see their bottle service menu, it'll say it's for a certain number of people, they mean literally only that number of people can enter under that table, any additional people, they'll require more bottles or fees. Very money stingy, arrogant, horrible people. We just wanted to hang around for an hour, prob would've spent more on alcohol anyway, but felt like they were trying to rob us of every last dollar. Go to many other clubs, they might be strict, but you can at least talk to them, unlike soulless Maru."
