    I came on a Friday night and had a good time. This place is a lot smaller than I had expected but I still had a blast. The women here were all very nice and actual entertainers! They have very talented women working here and they’re not lazy at all; they work hard to put on a show. What I really appreciated most was that all of the women I saw were natural. This was so refreshing. There’s something special about a woman that is confident in her natural appearance. The DJ played great music and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The woman’s restroom wasn’t spotless, but I was pretty decent and I felt comfortable using it. I deducted one star because I asked for a few different drinks that the bartenders either never heard of or said they didn’t have the ingredients to make them. Other than this, I had a great night. I would highly suggest getting a VIP booth if you can! The general floor area gets pretty packed and it’s just more comfortable if you have your own section.

    You don’t need to go to this club to realize it may be a place you should avoid. All you need to do is read the response by the owner to other reviews. I would suggest that the owner remove their responses. It seems like the biggest complaint is an attempt to overcharge naive tourists. To the owner: paying a cover charge to a bar, or club isn’t a forgone conclusion. Many clubs will do a drink minimum in pie of a cover charge. That is a much better solution most of the time. The owner makes money on the drinks, tourists start the night out happy and go from there. Usually spending more money at the club because nothing loosens wallet wallet like libations.

    i went with friends while we were on vacation and we had such an amazing time. it was a little slow when we first arrived but it began to quickly pick up. i have seen reviews complaining about the cover charge, however almost all of not every strip club will charge one. $20 is definitely not a bad deal for a cover charge when going to a club like taboo. now let me talk about the girls working, they were absolutely all stunning. they were so friendly and did amazing pole work and tricks. their outfits were all absolutely beautiful as well. we also rented the vip section which was absolutely worth it, it was a great view of the stage and we had plenty of room for the dancers to come and spend time with us. the dj was also amazing and played really great music, there was never a moment where the vibe wasn’t fun. if i ever come back to jamaica i’m definitely coming back to taboo 🤪

    Bartender lady was cool. Aside from that make sure if y’all traveling in a group send one person in to recon. Our group of men and women ALL paid $20 each to enter an empty strip club. Just go down the road to 2727 and have a great time.

    Not worth the $100 ride over there. The building was almost empty but maybe we just went on a bad night, idk. Also it’s a bit smaller than you’d expect!

    So I visited this venue along with six female friends and my boyfriend to celebrate Sam bday. Upon entering the club they searched out bags which i understood just to ensure we didn't have any weapon or anything of the sort... my boyfriend was wearing a pullover but the hood was not on his head the bouncer said that it should be tucked in his clothes i understand them telling him not to put it on but he explain to the bouncer it was uncomfortable but the bouncer started screwing saying he had to do it to go in.... I was in the club about an hour and a half before the lights came on then the music stopped... the bouncer said everyone had to leave cause they were closing.. Sam went to use the ladies room she was a big tipsy so I was waiting for her a bouncer came and was like hello you need to leave I explained that friend was tipsy and I just wanted to ensure she was ok he started getting loud saying I should wait outside coming in my face.. Sam came out of the bathroom then we left .. I'll never go back there

    Temperature was a bit chilly. The girls were nice. Some were quite pushy overall had a great time. Nice music, DJ was awesome. The girls did very nice pole tricks. They are definitely strong and talented! Keep in mind they only give change in Jamaican currency, but girls will take US dollars.

    The cover charge is $10 but if you are not a local it is $29z You might as well go to Margaritaville! The dancers can’t dance on pole or take clothes off so it’s waste. The states is ten times better.

    Want to know what the entry fee is cause it is my understanding that the general admission is $1000JMD. But everytime I try to go with out my Jamaican family members they try to charge me $20 US or $2000JMD. It was a regular night not a special event. It seem like they try to take advantage of tourist at the entry. If I am coming to the establishment it to have a good time and spend my money and if I feel I am being taken advantage of I dont want to come or bring my friends.

    Worst strip club I’ve ever been to. Dancers had no real talent, they were more interested in taking customers to the back rooms rather than actually dancing. Kind of mad I wasted my time to even come. Dancers also BEG entirely too much.

  • 1/5 Chez M. 5 years ago on Google
    Last night Feb 28, 2019 I brought a group of 6 guests to this establishment and they were treated terribly 😔. The 2 ladies asked to use the restroom and were told they could only go once they paid. There was also one security guy there who was armed that shouted threats. One security guard apologized for the actions of his co-worker however that had already spoiled what was an excellent night for my guests who had visited Magarita Ville prior. The supervisor was also there and did nothing to calm the situation. If I could give 0 stars I would. It takes a long time to build customer confidence to tour Jamaica. I didn't even ask for a name because of how hostile a few employees were. If you do go be prepared for anything.

    Absolutely do not recommend. Their USD to Jamaican dollar conversion is extremely flawed and discriminatory. They had no signs for their exchange rate neither is it written on their receipt as they do not give any. My friend gave them $30 USD and they gave her back $3,000 in Jamaican money. They justified it by saying it was dollar for dollar. My other friend ordered a hookah and they took 25-30 minutes to bring it to her. It was not packed in there at all. Then when they brought her the hookah they didn’t bring any tips. My friend said something and they said they told her but absolutely did not because why would anyone order a hookah without tips! I said something to the bouncer about this. He tried to find tips and couldn’t find any. He said something to the guy who originally brought the hookah. He said he’d go talk to someone and come back. We waited another 15-20 minutes before he came back with someone. They wanted to try to go “buy” tips and make us wait as if the hookah wasn’t already burning and getting cold. We walked out. The lady grabbed my friend arm and asked what’s wrong as if it hadn’t already been explained. This was our first and very last time ever coming. The dancers were great and it’s sad that the service took away from them. SMH.

    Be aware about the no refund sign lol. The cover is expensive (20$) no place close to seat (except if you pay more) and a normal hookah is 50$.. not the best night, like Saturday night, to go there... DJ really sucks a lot... Really bad experience...

    First time visiting taboo Mobay, the vibes and energy was what you expect from the brand. Always a good time, and this time was no different. The bar team was a bit slow, took me about 10 mins to get and drink. The dancers and overall vibe made up for it in the end.

    Hmmmm I read the reviews before going but wanted to go with an open mind! I had also read several highly unprofessional review responses from the venue owner! I was born in Jamaica and on holiday with my partner. I went to Taboo with my cousin who lives in Montego Bay! They charged us $35 each (USD). It was insanely overpriced and clearly a venue taking advantage of tourists visiting! I was so stunned when they told me $105 for 3 people, I had read it was $20 per person. Clearly this charge depends on who you are and your aesthetics! The dancers seemed lacklustre and exhausted. The D.J was great and played really good music. Other than the music there was nothing else of significance which would prompt me to return frequently.

    Let me start off first by saying I feel sorry for the girls that work there, because the problem is not with them but the establishment and the poor business. First we tried to convert USD to JMD. It wasn’t until after we had already got the JMD back that they said “their” conversion rate was dollar to dollar. There was no sign to display “their” conversion rate or anything to suggest it was a dollar to dollar rate. After going back and forth several times, we were finally able to get the original amount of money paid back. Second we decided to purchase a hookah. We waited 25-30 minutes. After the hookah arrived, the person decided to tell us that there was no tips, and that the hookah was not refundable. This was truly unacceptable. There was a clear lack of communication and a disregard for how business is to be conducted. I would not recommend any body to Taboo unless that wanted to be cheated out of money!
