I love the bar because of the music, but I’ve been harassed there multiple times. Men have grabbed my arse, my waist, squeezed past me whilst grabbing me as there’s “no space” which wasn’t true. One occasion that really stands out to me is when I dropped my ring on the floor. I bent down...

Touched
