The bartender Josie who lost my card story:
On Friday July 25, 2025. Me and my friends along with my husband wanted to go out that night since they were advertising their flyer about how the theme was going to be 1990’s-2000’s music. Which of course sounded fun.
We get to the club and one of my friends’ boyfriend had forgotten his id at the car, the security guard wouldn’t really let him leave to go get his ID (which I thought was weird, because why wouldn’t you, since he clearly has evidence of him being over 21) anyways, he ended up leaving anyways but also took his phone and on his phone, he had both the ticket for my friend and for my friend’s bf. My friend got checked in already, but since her bf had the tickets they wouldn’t let her go in. The two girls at the door to scan your ticket kept saying for my friend to go outside and wait, but the security guards (2 of them) said they can’t wait outside and for her to go inside. So they kept making my friend go in and out about 4 times. She eventually got in since her boyfriend had came back.
Next up was the bar area for the 21 side. Me and my friends had wanted to sit down. There was this bartender/ bar girl who worked there and her name was Josie. She had told us if we wanted to sit we would have to put down 20$ on a card and they would keep it. So I offered my card which is fine. 30 minutes later me and my friends as well as my husband wasn’t really sitting down anymore, so I told my husband if he can give me my card back. My husband is a very generous person so he said he would put his card down on it instead so I can get my card back. So he went to the girl Josie, and she had explained to my husband that she had “misplaced” my card. The whole time the girl literally dropped my card on the floor and some girl picked it up. When I put my card down for the table, I handed my card to my husband so he can give it to her. We have given the card to Josie AT THE TABLE. When she said she had “lost/misplaced” it, she explained that she might’ve dropped it in the trash can, because she claims that we gave it to her over the trash can which was not the case and clearly lied.
The manager had to step in because I was intoxicated since I was also drinking in the club and was getting upset, because the manger did not want to help. She said in her own words “we can’t do anything NOW, but just offer an apology” but her apology was not even sincere. The girl Josie was scared and trying to avoid me because she knew she was in the wrong and she didn’t even offer me any apology.
Next day, which was Saturday July 27, 2025. I got a message request from a girl on instagram wondering if I was at the Mezcal Lounge club last night. I said yes and she had explained that the girl Josie had given her MY CARD when they went to go buy a drink at the bar. She did not put a tap on a table but only bought a drink. When they gave her her card back but it was really my card, and she was going to buy another drink, my card had declined since I had turned off my card control on my bank. I went home that night and woke up to someone trying to buy stuff with my card but was declined, so I thought the girl Josie had dropped my card and someone had picked it up and tried using my card. But no the girl who found my card returned it and apologized for taking my car which was not even her fault to begin with.
Would not recommend because they SUCK and the girl Josie, she better watch it next time or else I will not hold back !!! My whole life savings was on that card even if I turned on my card control, Josie was not careful with handling people’s cards!!

Alots of space
The venue was cool, but I have to give it a low rating for the price of a table, $150-$200, this is Fresno, not Vegas, lighten up. Also, use regulation size shot glasses when selling shots, it's a rip off pouring less liquor into one of those tiny little cups people use for church communion, I paid $14 for a sip of congac 😢

Mezcal stays open late, which is great for night owls looking to dance the night away.
But, there is some alarming concern. It’s the security and safety within the club. Unlike other clubs in the area, such as Splash, Bobby’s or Vibes, which prioritize the safety of their guests, Mezcal falls short. There is a persistent group of men who loiter and watch women on the dance floor in a way that feels predatory and uncomfortable. Even when it was clear that women were trying to push these men away or off them, the situation was often ignored. This kind of atmosphere makes it difficult for many to feel safe or enjoy their night out.
At other clubs, security staff actively intervenes when they see harassment or inappropriate behavior, asking those loitering to either dance or give a warning and asking them to leave the area. Unfortunately, this was not the case at Mezcal. The same group of men appeared to be there, continually bothering women until they found someone vulnerable.
Overall, mezcal is not the club to end the night anymore. Until they address these serious concerns, I will be opting for other venues that prioritize the safety and well-being of all their guests.

Went with my sister and husband. I had a great time dancing and the atmosphere was good. Everybody seemed to be having a good time. I only gave it 4 stars because the only thing that kinda annoyed us was the fact that there was guys just standing on the dance floor. They started walking by and bumping into my husband and sister. Other than that we really enjoyed ourselves.

Things have changed since we went last. Overpriced, entrance fee, and drinks. The way they do the tables is very overpriced. If you don't purchase a table, you have to stand all night. The only thing that we liked was the music.
