PATRONS WILDLY dancing on a stripper pole at a Philly nightclub and hookah lounge knocked hot hookah coals down a patron's breasts, the woman claims in a lawsuit, but the club's manager said she's making a mountain out of a molehill and the suit is a booby trap.
In a civil suit filed this week in Common Pleas Court, Katelyn Sobon said she was a patron of the Trilogy Nightclub & Hookah Lounge on Spring Garden Street near 6th in Northern Liberties on May 25. She and a friend were seated near the dance floor with a hookah placed on a "feeble" table between them.
The club, which does business as Trilogy but holds a catering-club liquor license under the name Palmer Social Club, allowed the general public inside that night causing the club to become "severely and excessively overly crowded," the suit said.
Patrons who were dancing on and around the stripper pole on the club's dance floor hit the leg of the table Sobon's hookah was on, toppling the hookah and sending the hot coals into her cleavage, according to the suit. Sobon, who lives in the city's Spring Garden section, said that her dress caught on fire and that a club manager apologized for the incident and offered to pay her medical bills.
The suit says that the coals in her cleavage caused Sobon "severe pain, agony, humiliation and embarrassment" and that Trilogy is responsible, in part, because they put the hookah pipe "near the dance floor which contained a stripper pole and thus invited wild dancing near burning hot coals."
