DO NOT COME HERE! They are a SCAM!!! My friends and I went last night, and they charged us $72 for 4 (BAD) margaritas. Then, the next day, they charged her card $90 instead of the authorized amount. The DJ was also terrible. AVOID this place at all costs.

Annoying staff
Me and my black friend wasn't allowed just because of racism by bouncers. They were telling us they only allow whites. We were dressed. This was totally inappropriate behavior. We showed every IDs we had. The incident happened at 10.35 PM, December 7th

Fun place for a night out of dancing and meeting new people! Could stand to get better music but I think theyre trying to appeal to a broad audience

Shady, terrible place. One of the owners was on some coked up aggressive rage and picked a fight with someone in our group. The owner started physically assaulting a girl. When they fought back the bouncers and security roughly tossed them out. Our whole group of ~20 had to leave. None of the bouncers, security or even the cops cared at all that the owner started the fight for no reason. Terrible ownership, awful staff. Don't waste your time or money here.

Overpriced, slow/horrible service, and they discriminate against foreigners. Don’t give them your money.

They said they didn't show students with passport as an id in. Weird, cause never happened to me before.

Bar attendant was very angry when I didn’t add tip for him and later when i checked my bank statement tip was added by him. Avoid this place. This place is running by thugs and stupid security.

This place is run by thugs who get a kick out of committing battery against customers for no reason.Went in with some friends as I was their designated driver for the night (which means I had ZERO drinks that night and was completely sober). I recognized some other friends who happened to be there. After hugging them, a 50ish year old man of medium stature with white long hair, who I later found out was named Rodney, confronts me stating I bumped into him and was in his space. My response was that no I was not, which prompted him to get closer to me. I asked what his problem was and the man immediately attempted to wrestle me to the ground. As the skirmish progressed, this man elbowed my girlfriend in the face as she was attempting to pull him off of me. Quickly all 4 bouncers ripped my shirt and threw me out while the man was confusingly being protected while barking orders at the bouncers. All while the bouncers were yelling misogynistic insults and slurs at my girlfriend. Turns out this man Rodney is some sort of manager and/or business partner and is allowed to do this to any customer he pleases.In short, Temple's management is allowed to commit unprompted battery on the clientele with zero repercussions. Not sure why anyone would want to appoint this thug Rodney as manager or go into business with him, but that's not my problem.Side note: Temple is also xenophobic so if you are an immigrant that hasn't gotten your U.S. ID yet and only have your country's passport (which is, in fact, a valid form of identification in California) don't bother unless you are ready to accept the bouncer's inevitable offer of a $20 bribe. I have been witness to this twice. Actually even if you have one don't bother either. Place is not worth it.
