Awesome time! Spicy cucumber best drink!!!!
Blue light is always a great time. I come here frequently. However whoever the security person checking for IDs was last night at 12am was extremely rude and unprofessional. I walked in with 2 friends. The security person was out of sight sitting down. My 2 friends didn’t see him and walked in. He stands up and starts shouting “hey! Hey!” And immediately called them derogatory names. I told him it was no problem I will get them to come back to show their IDS. He didn’t apologize and continued to look angry to a point where I felt very uncomfortable. Please have a talk with your employees about professionalism and respecting customers. The name calling was out of line especially since he was sitting down out of sight and again they did not see him.

They add a 20% table service fee now, the menu says it’s refundable upon request but it’s not, is what I was told. (I ended up having to ask for my cash tip back after the miscommunication) I did confirm however that the table service fee on the receipt does go to the bartender, even though my original tip was higher.
I was disappointed cause the bartender over charged me the pepino drink was 15 and we also got a Jack and coke and food but was $36 so unless the jack and coke was 21 dollars then they are fair the SPICY CUCUMBER WAS AMAZING you have to try it. The girl bartender in white was not it the man made my drinks and had homegirl charge me. Security was really cool 😎 that’s the only reason I gave it 3 stars it would have been 5 if it wasn’t for this woman.

I would leave a 0, ladies beware the security and cops do not care about your well being. They rather cater to men . This is proven by many multiple occasions that I had with my female friends. You are not safe there. Be warned!
Nice place, security was good and polite, bartenders are great, but vibes were so slow, DJs were mixing music at wrong point, going from reggaeton to bachata and slowing down all vibes and then trying to going back to get that energy from people. No sense. Installations are okay (washrooms clean and available, 🏧 inside, tables are sometimes available, lighting is great)
Parking: They have a parking lot, but most time it's full. You can park around (a few streets around if you're lucky for free)

Been here many times, it’s a cool vibe and we are always down to go since they close at 5am but on Saturday the 28th the bouncers was charging each person $30 cover which was weird to us because they have never charged us the various times we’ve gone. We left right away something wasn’t right.

the security at the girls bathroom on a friday night let some girls cut in front of us and did not respect the other girls in line. i am very disappointed as the establishment itself is quite fun
The atmosphere here is dry and desserted. Not welcoming. staff gives you attitude. Drinks taste stale. they let people do coke and offer it to people and the bathrooms don’t have doors !!! If the two big boned bouncers spent more time saying no to junk food idk maybe I’d give more stars. If you wanna wait 3 hours plus for a good night and have people see you peee and want to try coke this is your spot !!!

Security does not check bags, nor checks guys! I definitely did not feel safe, I felt people in there had guns or something!
Now a days everywhere is dangerous!
This place shouldn’t take it for granted considering its location.
They take your card and try to scam you. Do not give them your card!
This place sucks, aggressive and dangerous staff, scuzzy drugged out patrons. Avoid at all costs.

Workers are so trash , literally disregard you when trying to get a drink when they point and look at you. Loss at getting a good tip. Especially the short fat mf working on the entrance bar
SCAMMERS!This place will try to scam you, be careful. Upon entering my group went through your usual of getting your ID checked and (for guys) getting patted down. The bouncer told us there was an entrance fee of $20 per person, leaving us to pay $60 in total for our 3 people. We were fine with it but he asked for one of our debit cards and had us follow him to table. We expressed how we did not desire a section and he tried to persuade but eventually gave into us denying a section as we wanted to be at the bar top instead. We ordered one drink for each of us. After a couple minutes we decided the place just wasn’t for us. We asked to close our tab and the server said that in order to get our card back we needed to spend $60 in total at the bar. She said “The bouncer told you outside that these are the rules here.” I replied telling her that he told us it was a cover fee that he told us we had to pay that but never mentioned requiring to spend $60. She replied with “oh you probably did not hear him because you’re drunk.” I replied telling her that I’ve only ordered a single drink so far. It’s obvious now that these people try to take advantage of drunk people to get them to spend the most possible amount of money at their bar. Anyone visiting Chicago STAY CLEAR of this place!
