We were checking out places near where we were staying as possible places to watch a football game on Saturday and this was close. We had to hike up three flights of stairs to get to the only part of the business that was open. We had a couple of beers and chicken nachos. The nachos were pretty bland. I didn’t expect a hopping place at the time of night we were there, but it just didn’t give a great vibe. We went somewhere else on Saturday.

Absolutely sad how I was treated on new years, I’m a young 24 year old mom of 3 and got out for the new years night 2023. So disappointing.. I planned this since august ( first timer to nightlife ) and I was there 8:20ish because they had said online and on the ticket description that before 9 is free.. after 9 is 25$ entry fee.. I got tickets on Eventbrite 2 weeks prior.. the white lady with blonde hair acts so suspicious and was acting like she was off either drugs or had drinks already idk. The ladies and bouncers acted so suspicious as well. Anyway.. I’m standing first in line. They let a bunch of girls pay upfront to get in when they said online they were “sold out of tickets and tables” …. SMH. So then I asked the blonde hair woman why weCan’t get in free before 9 like she said and she said “well some things have changed”….. I’m like “OHKAY???” Anyway I’m just excited to get in and have a drink and hear some goood music for new years. So I get to the door and show my ticket after they let others come in before us without paying a thing…….. or even showing tickets.. then they told me my tickets were not valid……. And wouldn’t allow me in… then as I’m trying to explain they push me aside and alow others in & tell me to come back at 11… what!? They are scams and ignorant as hell. Don’t go here. So rude. Blonde woman was definitely off somthing and she was allowing the bouncer guys to tell her what to do. Also after sitting outsideFor 2 hrs on a fence alone for new years they still had no kindness to allow me in. I swearThis place ruined myFirst time out and I will continue to show this place and what they did to me on TikTok with my 1 million followers as well.

I would like to start off with I never leave review and I have been here several time before and previously recommended it to anyone but not after tonight. tonight I went with a group of 10+ friends. while waiting in line for the roof top bar my girl friends and I were approached by a bottle girl and asked to go upstairs. we didn’t think anything of it and followed. we were escorted to the vip section where we told “be nice and you don’t have to pay for anything”. this immediately made me uncomfortable but I thought to give it a second chance as this a previous favorite bar. while there we were pressure to take shots with random old men. after this we left bc we were all uncomfortable with the situation. women should be protecting women not sexualizing them to creepy old men. I will never visit this bar again and will tell anyone I know to stay away

This is a fraudulent establishment. To say they have a lack of internal coordination and customer service would be generous. They need an organizational facelift with new and somewhat competent management who can at least give the appearance of relatively caring about their customers. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere.

Bounces are so rude and disrespectful and managers does nothing about it and allows it. They will try to get you to give more money and state you haven't paid. Act like they are on a power trip. Waste of money.
