A group of white girls came to the bar and he immediately served them and began having conversations and disregarded us completely. We left after 45 minutes because we don’t tolerate disrespect. PLEASE NOTE: THIS ESTABLISHMENT WAS NOT “BUSY” AT THE TIME OF THIS EXPERIENCE—- Check the pictures attached —- THEY SIMPLY DONT MESS WITH BLACK PEOPLE AND THATS THAT.

    A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!!! RUINED MY BIRTHDAY!! I spoke with Alexis at Bloom on 6/18 to make reservations birthday July 3rd. I advised them that we would have a large party and would need a section that could accommodate a group of approx 40-50. My social group had been there before and had arrangements to come later in the month and to reserve space for us that mirrored the reservation at the end of the month. I had scheduled to arrive at 2pm, when we arrived we were informed that they weren't opening until 230, once we were let in, the tables and space wasn't even fully set up and they didn't have a bar tender, weren't serving any food and didn't offer hookah until after 4pm. They had a random employee attempting to make drinks and didn't even know how much alcohol to pour and wanted help from someone in my group. Everyone was sitting around trying to make the best of it while I tried to find an alternative place that could seat a group our size last minute. people were hungry and waiting on drinks just only order mimosas because that's what was easiest. after about an hour I was able to make arrangements for us at a near by local place. The other place was out door in the heat with somewhat covered seating and fans to help with the heat, but completely different atmosphere than what I had originally planned for. Some people left due to the heat and change of venue as it was almost 100 degrees out this day. No one ever apologized to me directly for the inconvenience, and lack of service provided but tried to bribe some of us from leaving with cheap vodka. I had even reached out the day before or morning of to Alexis to ensure they were ready for us and no one replied or gave an update on how things were being done that day. I am in a Facebook social group of 9k+ members and we will never patronize this establishment again. They lack professionalism and respect for their customers.

    DO NOT TRUST We went at 11 pm on a Saturday to 1 am and got drinks they differently charge me and my friends. Then we asked multiple times for a receipt and the bar tender got aggressive and tried to kick us out saying we did not deserve a receipt cause we did not tip. Even thought we tipped 15%. We asked nicely for a receipt and she threaten to kick us out when even the security told us don't worry. She continuously yelled at us ever time she saw us and would never give us a receipt for anything we paid for on our card as she even put our card number in manually. Actually ridiculous. Super sus.

    The stars are because the place has potential especially in their outdoor patio area. We went for a Tuluminati event and tried to get drinks in the bar inside. The bartenders were clearly intoxicated and not even aware that we were trying to get their attention for over 15 minutes. I saw them drinking shots and completely disregarding every guest that was trying to get a drink at the bar. I’ve never seen such bad service at a bar. Truly disappointing.

    This club is infuriating to say the least. My friends and I decided to come and try this club out one Saturday night. I was with a female friend who wore Jordan’s and was denied entry into this club. This was solely based off the fact she was not following their strict gender conforming dress-code for females. They said a cover for this was $15, which isn’t that much but for an outfit mistake it’s quite hilarious and dumb. I had another experience when a male friend of mine had a hat on going into this club. We didn’t think anything major of it, but apparently this was on the same level of a Bomb threat to the people at the door. They then requested that he pays $20 which is outrageous and unbelievable. This club is disappointing and a waste of time if you are looking for a good time. I highly recommend you check other spots nearby.

    Bloom has THE BEST brunch options! My go-to place after a long work week. The drinks are both beautifully made and refreshing with some of the most knowledgeable and friendliest bartenders there to answer any questions you may have! If you’re looking for a nice brunch location with a great atmosphere or even looking for a great night out, look no further!

    The atmosphere is good for a date night or a night out with the girls. We went on a Thursday and just about had the place to ourselves. The bartenders were nice. The drinks were good. The food was a different story. There are 2 menus, a 4-9pm and a 9-12. The 4-9 menu the staff was out of just about everything. Many of the people with us ordered burgers and the staff failed to let us know that they did not have everything for the burgers. Instead they just brung bread and meat, no onion, mustard, and bacon. Some waited so long for food that they just canceled the order and went elsewhere. The only person that apologized was the bartender. The manager did not apologize for the inconvenience.

    Nice place, with a cool upstairs area looking below and outdoor area to hang out as well. However I’m not a fan of the 20% gratuity automatically added to each tab. It’s kind of hard to spot on the receipt in the moment (dark inside) so you’ll likely end up double-tipping if you’re not paying attention.

    staff is great. pretty sweet spot. i would give it five stars but was disappointed with the audio on the day we went. i'm a bit of an audiophile and could tell that the sound was peaking/clipping. there's a speaker right above the section we were in that was blasting music painfully loud. it would periodically blow out the amplifier, and it would be out for 5-10 minutes at a time. the rest of the club was fine but it made our group's experience a little less enjoyable.

    Bloom is the cutest spot in downtown! From the drinks to the food everything is perfectly crafted. Their staff is so sweet and caters to everything you could need while visiting.

    Owner (German) does not pay his employees. I heard rumors of this but worked a couple shifts as a favor to an industry friend. Turns out it’s 100% accurate. I was promised payment on several different dates for money owed by Bloom, but the date has still continued to be pushed back as the owner does not have funds to pay his employees. This is a showcase of what a sad excuse of an owner can do to an establishment.

    Setting was beautiful and fun! The bartenders are amazing, and the manager is so attentive, walking around making sure everyone is having a good time. Amazing service! Can’t wait to go back!
