    We visited last Saturday night, a couple was dancing next to us jumped into my wife's purse and stole her celphone,we told the security guards about it but they didnt do anything about, they let the🐀🐀🐀 run away,we try to follow the 🐀🐀 but security hold us down. Beside that, I realized they tried to clon my debit card by making bad use of it, cause I recived a fraud alert from my bank rigth after I paid . No Doubt the Tequila there is Fake and adultared cause the bottle they brough over was already open. This place is totally a Mafia 🐀🐀🐀 Dont go there if you dont want to have a really bad experience.

    So my friends and I came here and got a table (6 of us) and my boyfriend went outside alone to get his wallet from the car and I followed him and everyone was still inside at our table,any way they would not let us back in,but they let another group of like 4-6 girls in& I explained our family was still in there to at least call them. Keep in mind that our waitress charged us before handing us all our drinks and because they never let us back in we didn’t even get our change back.I will never be attending this place EVER AGAIN!

    Been to this place a few saturday nights. Wont be going back anymore. Always over crowded and if your outside waiting in line the security guards offer to let you go to the front of the line for $20. We usually decline but others take the offer which makes our wait longer. Pretty ghetto over all. Ola next door is much better.

    Do not go to this place unless you want to get your debit card Info stolen by the bartenders! I came to this place about 3 weeks ago got 7 drinks paid with my debit card at the bar, just so that 3 weeks later my card gets charged double without my permission! They stole my card info at the bar! Identify theft at it’s finest! I will be reporting this bar for what they have done to my finances!

    Meh, what I did like for a while was the dance music that the DJ was mixing. In the front the dance floor is small. At the beginning it was easy to get a little space to dance. However, once the crowds came (10 -12 a.m) forget it. Just choosen to sit and watch the game, listen to the music. Recon the weekend crowds are the money maker for this establishment so I get it. Also for my experience, the staff was approachable and gave good service as possible considering how busy they were. Very cool to see. Final thought: Honestly, Was hanging out with a friend made the most of the time. If you're looking for a place like this to hangout drink, dance and enjoy music. Have a go at it. Try it to see

    We just finished going to a local bar less than a mile away and I heard this spot was good. I’d definitely come back again and try a Friday along with trying their food. Overall a great vibe with excellent music. A great spot to get your dance on.

    It's too crowded during weekends. They definitely allow more than the max capacity. It's like a trap. People won't be able to exist safety if there were an emergency.

    I have to call my server to ask for extra drinks ,even the time we wait " long time" she forgot a 2 drink ,we never ask if we need anything else knowing we pay to get in to watch the fights, never go back! They need to have better servers 👎

    This place is racists towards our people. Even though they play spanish music. The security guards were being a little to extra trying to act like cops don't go here people.

  • 1/5 Amiee M. 1 year ago on Google
    Only one waitress and she barely knew what she was doing. Things we wanted on the menu they said they no longer serve that until after the other food was already brought out and still kept getting our order wrong.. Bartender kept leaving walking go back, overall not a good experience here.

  • 4/5 Ana R. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited on a Saturday night, it was definitely fun. They played a bit of reggaeton and hip hop, some Spanish music as well. It was a very small dancing area. Sitting is close to none, it's reserved. I enjoyed myself with friends.

  • 1/5 Ivonne V. 1 year ago on Google
    The DJ needs to play more current songs. The place smells very bad, and in this place I saw everything in 2 hours.

  • 1/5 Roberto M. 1 year ago on Google
    Second time coming, first time the same.. bad service but I figured my luck...but this time was worse!! The waitress didn't come back ask if we needed anything else or another beer NOTHING .. I had one beer, the initial once I asked for and that's all. OLA next door way better !! I don't see myself coming here again not even got a beer ! The glasses are NOT even COLD !! Bad man!! Just bad !!

    The atmosphere changed. Not the same as before. Some people look like they just rolled out of bed. The waiters take a while to serve you. The chef is good -thank God.

  • 1/5 Esteban C. 2 years ago on Google
    We went to see the Canelo fight on Sunday November 7, 2021. The wings are delicious but the waitress had an attitude and never came by our table. I kept going to the bar to buy beers. Well...no tip for her at all. Bad service.

    “ This is the across from Lock&Key Drinkery known for light fine dinning, eclectic lunch menu and a great place to welcome the new year or simpky watch a sporting event...Had amazong both dining experiences as well as was in their New Years Bash in 2016.”

    If I could give this place zero stars then I would. Me and my friend went to the bar to get drinks and we were completely ignored when there wasn't even anybody there, and the place only had one other person sitting at the bar. Two other men went up to the bar and they were acknowledged immediately and got their drinks and went back to there seats. I don't know if it was because they were prejudice considering we are black women (the only black people there) or just blind, but I think we all know the truth.
