I.P. Freely Visits W Hotel Bar

An e-mail from a FrontBurnervian sent at 1:33 a.m. Sunday morning:

You’re not goijng to believe this, but a patron at the W lobby bar was removed 30 minutes ago for relieving himself in the bar — in front of patrons. That’s bad enough, but the bar manager has yet to get it cleaned up! There are about 75 people here. Oh, wait, somebody just put up “caution wet” signs. And the folks in charge here are laughing about it. Disgusting! I will never come here again. Yuck.

  2. He must’ve been too friendly with his friend Al Cohol.

    It reminds me when I was in the Calvin Klein store in NYC on the Upper East (west?) side.

    Somebody’s dog went right in the middle of the store and the salespeople thought it was so fantastic. I wonder about people like that.

  3. Lazy, cheap patrons like that should be banned.

  4. I thought that was in the fine print of all W ads:

    Warning, the W is not responsible for any assorted acts of douchebaggery, public urination, depantsing robbery attempts, squashed hopes and dreams, unfortunate flashes of lady bits, and/or sudden realizations that patrons are not as hot as they thought they were.

  5. Two words — Pacman.

  6. Ernest T,

  7. Stay classy, Dallas.

  8. At least now we know what the “W” stands for.

  9. I thought Dale Hansen went to bed before midnight.

  10. Two guys were sitting at the bar in the W and the first guy puts a quarter on a coaster and turns an empty highball glass over on top of the quarter. Then says to the second guy, “I bet you I can get the quarter out without touching the glass or the coaster.”

    Second guy says, “You name the bet.”

    Now you know the rest of the story.

  11. I thought R.Kelly wasn’t in town until next month

  12. Yep, this guy can whiz all over the carpet, but he’d better not light up a Lucky!
    Dallas: No butts, just bladders.

  13. ^^^yes, because whizzing in the middle of a public place is not illegal and was certainly condoned by the management…

  14. @ Bethany
    Direct hit… as expected.

  15. Perhaps he thought the hotel belonged to President “W” and he was simply making a political statement.

    @ 12:43 pm on December 22, 2008
  16. Look, people, it was an accident…could have happened to anybody.

    @ 12:47 pm on December 22, 2008
  17. All I can say is… sorry

  18. I have a friend who accidentally wet himself in this fashion at the Hooter’s Casino in Las Vegas. Actually, he was way past overserved and just couldn’t leave the table during a hot roll. To the credit of the Hooter’s Casino security staff, they actually allowed my friend to take his chips out of play before they escorted him from the premises. When I caught up with him two hours later, he was still blotto. Good times.

  19. I’ve long been an advocote for installing urinals under the bar. All you do is belly-up to the bar, press a button and sidewalls pop up to give you privacy. Who wants to lose a prime spot at the bar just to take a leak?

  20. @tom: The second word is “Fergie”

  21. W Dallas–Victory considers this incident at The Living Room Bar over the weekend to be a very serious matter. The hotel staff and security responded immediately by beginning to clean up the area within 10 minutes of the incident and by calling local authorities. The guest was arrested and escorted off the property. W Dallas–Victory maintains strict standards in order to provide the best possible experience for its guests and patrons.

  22. And this is exactly why I am a proud member of the Fickle 500.

    The “last” time I was at the W there was a mullet sighting.

  23. I know he’s a great architect, but after what he did to the Dallas City Hall, I’m glad they threw him out. Pei-ing in public, indeed…

  24. @ the GM: Does the W Dallas-Victory also consider responsible service of alcohol a serious matter. How many drinks did you serve him?
