1320 Richards has always been a shit hole.
Back in the day when I started going there, it was called Mars, and always had E.I gangsters getting into fights with several stabbings/shootings (circa 1996).
Then around the time I went to UBC, it was sold and turned into Wett Bar, where I promoted some parties, and once a huge fight broke out at the door, and idiot Asian gangsters fired shots at the door after being disallowed entry.
Then it became Atlantis when I left Vancouver, and my buddy got stabbed to death outside.
I'm not surprised it still attracts the same shitty environment. Frankly I think the music being played factors in quite a great deal -- you have idiots with no career/life aspirations who act hard or deal because that's all they know, and then you play the thug music and add alcohol. Result isn't a big surprise.
