Splash Bar Fresno

Bar Gay bar

😠 Tall African American Bouncer was very rude, at one point slapped my foot off a stool. I didn’t say or do anything there but later in the night he physically threw me out for no apparent reason. I let him know I’m a disabled veteran to not be pushing me which he then proceeded to explicitly tell me... People often mention security, night, feel, music, waiting, restroom, friend, drinks, didn, told,

    why the hell where so many girls inside the MEN bathroom? I was trying to pee when this bunch girls were behind me washing their hands and a few was trying to used the bathroom. I didn’t not feel comfortable here and this is supposed to be a gay club where we supposed to feel safe. I felt harassed with this girls so close to me when I was trying to pee. There’s not security by the bathrooms at all. Never coming back here. Not recommended

    Tall African American Bouncer was very rude, at one point slapped my foot off a stool. I didn’t say or do anything there but later in the night he physically threw me out for no apparent reason. I let him know I’m a disabled veteran to not be pushing me which he then proceeded to explicitly tell me he didn’t care. It seemed like if he didn’t want to be working there that night. Ownership and management need to have better training for security personnel in order to be working in that environment.

    Do not go to THIS PLACE!! we went here last night and was waiting in line to use the womens restroom when I noticed a man was creeping at women and peeking into the restroom. I yelled at him and told him to stop being a creep, at which point one of the security gal decided to intervene and not discipline him, but ME. She said told me not to put my hands on her “guest” which I never even touched him, and then I told her she should be more aware of creepers like him which I’m sure pissed her off because she thought it was okay to try and kick me out while I was using the restroom. She barged in and said, “ you’re done, you need to leave.” I said, okay, but im using the restroom and will leave after and she was not having it. Impatiently waiting for me to get out so that she can tell me that I needed to go. How unprofessional this security was! On top of that, you’re kicking me out for caring about the safety of other women in this place from a dude who was so conspicuously creeping on women?!? Gtfo here. Will never come back here again. Women need to protect other women, not kick them out like she did! He must’ve been her friend because no one would’ve reacted the way she did.

    You need to hire better security staff or train them to be more polite as they act like customers are bothering them. Listen to your customers read the reviews

    Splash staff and security are attentive and keep everyone safe. I highly recommend coming on Thursday nights (after art hop) or fridays. Soo much fun and the drinks are great price. LOVE how they are protecting our community and enforcing checks on vaccination cards. Will be back ;)

    What you will experience here is discrimination at its ugliest. If you are beautiful or young or in the owner or managers in group they will make sure you are hooked. If you are a single older man they will and have every time I have gone to bears night showed how to shun and discount and make you feel lesser than them.I have been to 4 bears nights and the management, staff and especially the dancers make someone like me feel worthless. I was almost suicidal after the was I was treated last night. Like any of them would have cared.

    LAST NIGHT A FEW OF MY FRIENDS AND I WERE TRYING TO GET IN AROUND 10:20. THE FEMALE CHARGING AT THE ENTRANCE WAS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST A MAN THAT WAS WITH US! SHE WAS JUST PICKING ON HIM & ASKING HIM TO WALK A STRAIGHT LINE WHEN SHE WASNT ASKING ANYONE ELSE, DUE TO HIS DISABILITY HE CANT (MIND YOU, HES GONE IN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE WITHOUT AN ISSUE)! SHE DIDNT LET US IN & WAS VERY RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL!!

    This place was a blast, all the staff were so nice and security was ON POINT 👍 There was a guy that kept following me and my friend around even though we had told him no we don't want to dance repeatedly and right when I was going to find security to deal with him a security guard came to us FIRST and said they saw him following us around and asked if he was bothering us and when we said yes it was taken care of. Also when me and my friend left we were both drunk but we had a ride already waiting for us outside but security stopped us before we left and confirmed we already had someone picking us up right now and we weren't going out alone into the night. That shows they really care about the safety of their patrons and that really means a lot 💯

    Been here a couple of times. Love the atmosphere, the drinks are bomb. Just feel like they need to play better music. That’s it.

    They’ll serve you as many drinks as you like and take your money but as soon as you start showing signs you’re drunk they kick you out. Wack!

    Staff and bartenders are great, my friends and I had the best margarita on the rocks we’ve ever had here! Vibes and ambience are great as well. The only thing I think could have been better is the music, the music they play definitely appeals more to the white gay community.

    I love Hector as my bartender and will always bring anyone new to him. He was the first person to serve me at splash and I'll always be grateful for that. He knows my special drinks and shooters. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Me and my friend got kicked out for requesting a song to the DJ and gave us an attitude with a stink face. The music is not all that honestly.

    I always have a good time when I come here. It's really big, the drinks are huge and cheap. And I love that there's 3 bars, the patio, the front "lounge" area, and the back dance floor. Drag shows are always epic and love that they have the Drag Race girls come to perform. Super fun.

    In my opinion most unsafe place in tower. No security was in the back area, fight broke out and there was no security in sight. AND the music isn't very good.

    Girl at the front door was very rude and didnt let one of my friends in because she didn't have a california ID but has a US ID because shes a foreign student. And was DENIED enterance because she didnt have a passport. Mind you she is 21 and has a dob on her ID. African american bouncer was very rude and snide in his remarks when it came to attire. As a whole this establishment needs to do better. Especially when customers come ready to spend money and have a good night, only to be rejected and treated as a second class citizen. For an LGBTQ+ establishment the only thing friendly about it were the other patrons waiting in line to get in.

    Security is super racist to Indian guys. Spread Love, Girl at the front door was very rude and didnt let one of my friend in because he has temporary paper driver license but he still have Usa permanent resident card , photo id along its mentioned his DOB and also People who know the staff comes at front of the long line to get in where other people are waiting in a que. Owner / management should strictly watch these activities. I hope this will work for other customers too. Thanks

    The women's restroom is a mess! They don't care for woman there! Both soap dispensers were broken! I went into the men's restroom to wash my hands and two security grauds came up to me and told me they are giving me a warning for going into the men's restroom! I felt so ganged up on and that situation was just strange! They were treating me like I was a criminal! I just want wanted to wash my hands

    Voted number 1 night club in fresno. A diverse array of weekly events. Awesome staff, and heavily involved with the local community, from the IDC, Reel Pride, Rainbow of Light, Fresno Rotary Club, and more.

    My first time visiting Splash during my vacation in California, I felt safe with the security and the service was amazing. My friends and I had fun. Looking forward coming back in the future

    Dude that’s not working that night with beard “fat dude “ Mexican will kick you out . On a Saturday. Because he realizes he can’t get any .. so he gotta work for this place

    Bartender was very predatory towards my friend’s brother and when she was turned down by him one last time, she blacklisted him from several other bars noting that he was a “b*tch”. Disgusting behavior, I can’t believe in 2023 we’re allowing such an abuse of power from someone interacting with intoxicated people.

    The dj's music for the dancefloor is REALLY bad to dance to pretty much every saturday I've gone there. also often times I've ordered a drink the bartenders have been a bit bitter or snarky, even when they're not busy, which kills my vibe. Also have been overcharged for drinks a couple times (not cool at all) and it doesn't help there's no drink menu. The only good thing about splash is that it's pretty much the only club to go to and it feels safer than other clubs. I really wanna enjoy coming here more but the music seriously needs to improve with more dance-able songs/mixes and some more hip pop. A lot of my time on the dancefloor with new friends is just spent waiting for them to play better music that we can actually dance to. And needs friendlier bartenders and price transparency instead of realizing im getting overcharged after the drink is already made, when i already know how much i usually pay for the same sloppily made cocktail.

    The tall security guard I believe his name is Mar is super welcoming and has a great personality and vibe, the times I’ve been to splash he’s very friendly and definitely looking out for anyone acting out which is important especially in fresno. You can tell he cares for the safety of everyone that comes and just tries to have fun as some people go and can’t handle there liquor and act out or get to touchy and make others feel uncomfortable. Give this awesome man a raise ♥️ I only go when he’s working for the reason being I only feel safe when he’s there. Splash overall is a fun place to go with friends and just have a good time the bartenders are nice and fast when it comes to drinks, the music is a variety of everything which is awesome, and the security is 5 stars ⭐️. Thank you splash for allowing the community to come out and have a good time!

    Love going here been going here for awhile never really thought I would have to leave a bad review but Saturday night me and my friend went to go celebrate his birthday but apparently he was too “drunk” but we had the same amount of drinks and stuff but what the real problem was he saw him wearing a birthday stash and said he wasn’t allowed I had told the guy we had came all the way from Hanford bc this is the only club we feel welcome and he said sorry that’s not my problem there’s nothing I can do was really sad that my friend has to experience that celebrated there my birthday and they were all nice and greeted me and told me happy birthday but didn’t do much for him

    This review is particularly for the worker that was rude. We asked if he could turn on the heater outside in the patio and his response was “ i just clocked in” and walked away. It was 8:30. We didn’t rudely ask or in anyway demanding, we said “ hey, is there anyway you can turn on this heater?” And that’s the response we got. Just because it’s a bar and you might feel like you can speak however you want to customers, it’s not a good luck. Basic respect and decency is expected and the norm. Examples of acceptable responses: 1) i just clocked in, let me see what i am able to do. 2) you know what, im not sure… let me. Heck that for you. 3) unfortunately, i cant yet… but i will as soon as i can 4) let me find out for you. Please splash, don’t have patio open if you cannot provide decent service. Rather not be out here than be disrespected.

    Hector is my favorite go to bartender, although all the bartenders that work there are great, but hes my favorite. He's always there when I need him and never disappoints when it comes to making my drink. Any questions or concerns I have I bring up to up him and he'll help out.
