    Beware of the false advertisement as to when you can get “inside” the club and the multiple owners and managers at the entrance that cannot provide their names. The bouncers keep adding tables to the dance floor to accommodate new guests until the dance floor is filled with no space left to move. Overall bad service where employees have no interest in customer service.

    The band that played tonight made our night all bad we asked them since they started playing 11pm to play us a single song N I guess cause we didn't have $$$$ sign on our face they ignored us we asked a few times 3 different people but kept getting ignored. MONEY was no issue but yet am guessing to them it was. This was the 1st time N the only time there do to our experience. We will not be returning the band is not professional to please everyone equal no matter what...

    They talk too much for what they charge. Less talking, more music to dance. No one is dancing 😑 Bring cash or pay $5 fee to use a card. Place is too expensive 🤷‍♀️ looks nice but dancefloor is fairly small.

    Late review but I have time now to say...DONT COME HERE! If you do, be prepared to wait over an hour in line to go in, parking is $20 (understandable), but entry is $40 a person?!?! Cash only?! That’s $100 already if you bring someone plus drinks and all be prepared to get ripped off. Seats are trash. Dance floor is small. It’s really not worth it.

    This place pretty much sucks!! I tried making a reservation for 10 and they had a minimum of 4 bottle purchase at $230+ each...and we're heavy drinkers but we're not balling like that. They gave us price by phone and at the door it was more. There's no where to sit, no where to dance!! We tried getting a refund and they said NO! The reason for no dance floor was that it was a "concert". Oh yeah concert with no place to sit, just stand around anywhere you fit. NEVER GOING BACK!!!

    Honestly wish I can rate this no stars. 18+. Self Parking $20. VIP Parking $20. Waited in line 40+ minutes. VIP entry $20. We had ask how much is entry fee we were told free bfor 11pm. We were already in line at 1030. We finally made it inside to pay one hour later and was told entry fee is $40 a person! And it’s cash only. Uber/Lyft or have someone drop you off so you don’t pay a ridiculous parking fee. Plan to arrive early to beat the long line and the outrageous entry fee.

    Es una mierda de lugar,. On October 29 they have Halloween event with live music... it said before 11pm its free... We got there at 930pm and we waited in line from 930 to 1045 pm thats when they started to let people in at 1045, almost a hour an 15 min wait, the line was moving super slow to get in the club , we were so close to the door. .. Once we got to the door it was 11:05 pm. The lady charging said 50.00 for guys and 30.00 to cut in line ,, total of $80.00. What a Rip-off!! They said they were open at 10pm but they open at 1045pm so they can rip-off everyone for 50.00 and some 80.00 and for what ? To stay there for 3 hours inside. This place is GARBAGE!! and they charge parking also. B/S

    Great place to go but you must reserve ahead of time..If you like to listen to Spanish Mexican music this is the place to go. It gets heavy pack when famous singer comes but you can reserve ahead of time and get a good VIP table. You can reserve to number provided above😊

    Five-star administration and an extraordinary spot to keep awake until late! This club is most certainly the best spot for companions with regards to pleasure and party. This spot truly has the best refreshments and whatever other things that you required. I will most likely return here soon! Great job!

    Cool spot. I knew one of the go go dancers. They were super cute. DJ was amazing. He played a mix of hip hop and electronica. There was a guy playing the trumpet along with the music. Seemed more like a concert than a club. Drinks are super expensive.

    Late review but... Whatever you do, DO NOT PULL CASH OUT OF THEIR ATM! ITS A SCAM! My girlfriend and I tried to pull $200 out, machine never gave us the money. Thought we’d try again and same thing! We lost $400 total! I asked the manager for a refund and instead we got kicked out! So unprofessional. I disputed 2xs with our bank and both times we got denied reimbursement because this place provided “proof” or “transaction receipts “ that showed we “got the money” both times! Please avoid this place. It’s a total scam.

    Work experience ever . $60 each person for entry. Not to mention the dance floor is very small from what it used to be back when it was called rio nilo. $20 for a adios. Everything is over priced. Not to mention I was dancing with my sister in a small dance floor a lady got bothered and pushed me I reacted and I was the one that the security grabbed with excessive hold and took me out without being allowed to go get my phone or wallet from the table I paid for over $300 with bottle service . Best believe I will be accusing them of harassment DONT NOT COME HERE
