  • 3/5 Belgica G. 6 years ago on Google • 77 reviews
    Small sized nightclub, with a nice atmosphere. I think they have a guest list, if you're not on the list, it's a $10.00 cover fee. Dress code is dress to impress. They don't allow street clothes, and women have to dress up as well. They try to keep it classy. Drinks were nice sized, for the prices they charge. I got a medium sized cup, not those small cups that are gone in two swigs. They also gave me a complimentary drink as well. The bartender was great. He fixed my drink to my liking, for no extra charge. They offer hookah as well. Music was on point. They played a bit of everything. The bathrooms were very clean as well. You do have to pay for parking. I'd advise you to get there early before 11pm if you want to find a good spot.

    A bum tried to steal my perfume and her friend said it was hers and the security guard stopped them. Was really grateful and glad considering someone told me nobody was designated to watch my stuff. I just left it there and took a risk Glad there are still good people In this world 🙏🏽 Give him a raise. The staff is caring and considerate too. I was having a bad night and the Event staff talked to me. Made everything better give them a raise 😭🙏🏽

    Do not book a section for this place. They will rip you off. I spent $650 for two bottles and 6 guests. They put us in a tiny section that only seats 3 PEOPLE. My promoter was Hazy Instagram @eventbyhazy , do not book with him. The other promoter was M Hiwot, don’t book with him either. He’s was rude and unprofessional. They are scammers and I will never do business with them again.

    My friend and I came here for a good time. We were invited into a section and MINUTES later the guy in the section was ATTACKED. Our hookah and drinks were in the midst of the brawl. We went to the manager and he REFUSED to refund our money for hookah or drinks since we no longer felt safe. We do NOT RECOMMEND.

    2 stars is probably generous but horrible experience. Saw one of my favorite places to order (brunch gods) was doing all you can eat brunch and bottomless mimosas which were an additional $25. We get there and everything was cool until it was time for the next wave of people to come in. We understood after we ate for a bit we had to move from table top to the other seated area to make room for the new people coming in. We ordered a hookah ($40 for one coal and an additional $5 for a new one) way too expensive to begin with. Once it hit 11:30pm, we were told yet again we had to move because the area we sat in was paid for and reserved and we would have to buy bottles to stay. So we moved to the bar and we were so fed up we decided to leave. Even if it wasn't brunch night, I would never visit this lounge again. The level of disorganization and lack of communication was incredible and I would never recommend this experience to anyone.

    I have a good time here the music is good however however it costs too much to get in and sometimes it's not even worth it, Sections are always crowded no matter what Parking is horrible but if you really need something to do this is a cool spot if you have parking and want to spend $40 to get in if you are a woman

    Horrible experience! Young crowd under 30. Horrible promoters, told us we had to get up out of the seated area if we wasn't buying bottles, however me and my friends spent $36 to get in for the late night brunch, they ran out of meats, and additional $15 for what was supposed to be bottomless mimosas, to be told after 40 mins being there, that they stopped doing the bottomless, we now had to now pay for them! I also watched the security guard allow someone to smoke a cigarette!! Never going back!

    Went on gay night had a ball, bar area was long which helped with the overcrowding of the bar area when everyone's trying to get drinks. Bathroom was nice and clean but that one stall per bathroom n there's only 2 bathrooms is insane in a club. The VIP area was nice but crowded; there wasn't enough space between the sections so it's as if you're all partying together but let's be real after a few drinks everyone is friends😊. I do question the size of the dance floor; the night i went it wasn't really crowded; enough ppl to keep the vibe partyish not enough where you couldn't vogue all over the floor without crashing into ppl (this one guy shut the floor down with the vogue)😊. The 2 one stall bathrooms n lack of creativity from the bar tenders (if i ask for something fruity dont pass me pineapple juice n ciroc😒 mix it up) is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

    Don’t go here! The DJ talks during every song and you can’t even dance. The DJ also is terrible he changes the song every 5 seconds.

    We went there for Salsa night on Monday night and we had a great time there was a great amount of people for a Monday night we missed the lessons, but had an amazing time. The music was great, good drinks, great ambiance and customer service. I will definitely be back. I was in love with the chandeliers.

    Had a great time, the waitress for our table service was excellent. The hookah lasted the whole night between 12 people. The DJ on a Saturday night had a great mix. Kept me on feet the entire time. I will definitely have my next event here.

    This is cute for ppl who don't go out often. Paid $80 for admission (2ppl), $15 mixed drinks, $40 hookah (electronic); wanted to order food, but they weren't serving any🤷🏽‍♀️ 10 minutes after my drinks and hookah arrived, security slides over to say that they need my table.. They smoke weed out in the open, etc. TRASH!!! They only received a 2 b/c the bartender's and security staff were very well mannered, otherwise they would've received a -5 #NoGood

    Big open place, clean and drinks are good. We had reserved a table, their silver package the night prior, via text message and a $100 cash app deposit. So when we got there we were a little irritated to be questioned with who we had reserved the table with. We had to wait for 10 mins in the entryway before being let in and taken to our table. I would suggest to be better organized with booking tables with a confirmation email or something so you don't have to question your guests for so long. Also, the prices for the packages were ridiculous. $400 to reserve a table! I was told each choice of liquor was $250 each. Both the ciroc and crown apple, so it was a package "deal". Neither bottle was $250 worth. The hookah was good, it was $40 per. And one bottle lasted us the entire 3 hours with 11people. The music was loud af. I think it was hood rap night, cause that's all that was played till midnight. All in all, we probably won't go back. But it was an okay time for a bachelorette party.

    Went here on friday, after the disaster called What's My Name Bar. Loved it. Bartenders were on the ball here, even with them being slammed. Though we didn't get any food. But from the pictures I've seen in other reviews. I will be coming back to try some food. Service was great, drinks were awesome, and music was kicking. Even the security staff were nice and watched out for people. Bathrooms on the other hand were icky. They have two restrooms on main floor, and multiple ones in the basement. Both were a wreck. Seating was scarce, but a security guard found a couple chairs for us. Will definitely be coming back soon. Oh parking was fun to find lol, like around the block parking if you want free parking, good luck finding it any closer. Or you'll have to pay to get a little closer.

    Sushi Monday’s was definitely a nice vibe if you like the night life in the city . Although I didn’t have the sushi I had the fried salmon bites. My friend said it was salty. They had tight security as well. The only thing I hated was the tables weren’t sturdy and I ordered hookah and lots of drinks

  • 5/5 Robert K. 6 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    I came here in formal attire and it was great. I got a hookah and who knows how many beers. It was wonderful. The music was great the hookah was great. Some of my beers were on the house. If you want to smoke tobacco and kick it I can't recommend this place enough

    Packed on a Monday! No place to sit but very fun atmosphere to hang out with friends. The sushi was surprisingly good. Hookah was not the only thing they were smoking if you don't mind that but overall good time

  • 3/5 Sakia A. 3 years ago on Google
    The music was ok and every good song had half of the first verse played before they changed it. The overall look of the lounge was ok. The bathroom upstairs couldn't be used so we had to go downstairs and the place was way too crowded.
