My friends and I will never be returning. An extremely drunk employee stated that I was a racist when I was just standing in line with my friends, I was not even talking. He almost did not let me in and he kept yelling at me to “**** off”. Once I was in the club for about an hour and a half, a bouncer came up to me and asked me to step outside. Once I did the drunk employee(who was still heavily intoxicated) said that I needed to talk to another black employee. As we were all standing there he claimed that I said “look at that little black m************* I have no idea where he heard this but I said nothing of the sort. He told me I needed to apologize to the man and I did. He said I could go back in but at this point I had such a bad taste in my mouth I and all my friends left. This is beyond unprofessional and I will be telling every single person I talk to that they should not go here. All of the reviews for here are bad and it’s pretty clear why.Might I also add that this place is letting mass amounts of underage individuals in to drink alcohol. Someone I know slipped the bouncer a five dollar bill and a fake id and was able to get in as 21. This is happening on an extreme scale so at any moment this place could be shutdown.

The person who was at the entrance told my friends and I that he clarified that there was no Latin party that we should think carefully if we entered, a clearly racist attitude. If I could put 0 I would.

i've been coming here the past few weekends. there's 2 lines, the normal line and the fast line. i've paid $20 for admission for the fast line because usually it's packed. the other night happened to be not as packed so i went to the other line which is $10 instead. ($20 is outrageous for a cover anyways) i get up to get my ID checked and the bouncer is mumbling some shit i ask him to speak up and he's asking me to slip him an extra $5 on top of the cover u have to pay at the door, when my ID is real. so unprofessional and just such broke boy shit aside from being illegal. aside from this at the door the club itself inside i do enjoy so i was disappointed to have this experience. please do better!

Great hang out spot. I highly recommend this place.

Terrible 80s party. Didn’t promote. Spent 40 dollars on “VIP” tickets and when we got there bouncer wouldn’t let us in the VIP section and was extremely rude. Since we were 3 of the 10 people that were there I didn’t take kindly of that since we paid his nightly salary……Not that it mattered because the VIP section was a room behind a curtain that had nothing to offer. Lil Yachty as far as I know isn’t 80s music .

Excellent venue, Friday nights are the best.

I wish I could give this place negative stars. Screw this place. And I can't wait for them to delete this review. Not even going to get into all the f***** up horror stories that have happened here. I lost my wallet there and I went back and just so happened to luckily go as soon as a worker was going inside (since it's closed 5 days a week). The dude was a complete dope. He said he would go look and he didn't. He went inside came out with boxes and a drill. Didn't say a word to me and continued to just do random s**** He finally says "go to treehouse" and I said "I didn't even go there last night I know as a fact it's in there" continued to keep saying "go to treehouse." I have called this place at least 50 times and DMed them on Instagram and zero responses. Also the place just was not fun, so overpriced and the drinks were horrible, tasted like vodka water. Friday night and barely anyone there. Dopey place ran by terrible people.

This place is exactly what you'd expect from the photos. The people rock, the drinks are fun, and the prices are right. Staff also friendly and during slow hours you can get lost in silly video streams projecting on the wall behind the bar.

Wouldn't let me in because of the footwear that I had on when other patrons were wearing the same thing.

Visiting from Florida and checked this place out and every single dish was amazing service was top notch and the restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere. Definitely checked all the boxes and I would say it’s a must try if you are in that area

The bouncers at the door charge different cover prices depending on how you look as well as if you're male or female. If you're underage, expect to either slip $20 extra under your ID or get a zip-tie cutting off the circulation to your hand. When you're in, there's gross tables and "VIP Booths" with people just smoking (with no ventilation). The drinks are far over priced and I've heard several stories of different people being drugged in their drinks. The staff will not hesitate to throw you out for no reason at your own expense- physically and financially. The manager, "Jackal", will attempt to get with younger females and offer them and their friends free drinks. The music was all around bad and I have nothing good to say about this establishment. When I got fed up and decided to leave, I couldn't even take a cup of water with me. Do not support this business
