Terrible experience. One of the bartenders upstairs treats customers very poorly. I went to record a video in a place where several people had done the same thing before me and there was no sign
Warning: there is NO AC in their building, you’re forced to stand less than 2 inches from people which gives zero dancing room, Djs throw people out for the smallest thing (like a friend of mine throwing up in a trash can, clearly out of her control) building is so overcrowded there is literally no where to stand, and the music is not even goth most the time and plays pop. Sadly, the place that was once good is not what it once was and not sure I’ll be returning.
