I am writing to bring to your attention the appalling discrimination experienced by individuals of color at your establishment.On multiple occasions, my group has been unjustly denied entry based on their skin color and fabricated reasons. Last night, my sister was unfairly turned away under the false pretense of intoxication, simply because she couldn't locate her ID promptly.Such discriminatory practices are unacceptable and tarnish your business's reputation. I urge you to address these issues immediately and ensure that all patrons are treated fairly and equally. We will not be supporting your business until these matters are rectified.

Don't go if you you're a MAN and have ripped jeans. Women are fine to wear ripped jeans. They try to make it out like they are a "high end" establishment but in reality it's just a trashy bar. There's no signs posted about dress code or anything on their website so just beware.

My friend (who is a girl) got punched in the face by a MAN and then was picked up and carried out by security. This place is not a safe place for women. They knew the man who did it, disgusting. Do better.

Very shady establishment in downtown Raleigh. Bouncers were very rude and pushy. There were also multiple fights that broke out between the bouncers and other people. My party noticed multiple people who were stumbling drunk/couldn't form sentences, but the bartenders still served them. If it's a Friday/Saturday, good luck getting a drink or going to use the restroom. They don't limit the amount of people that can come in, so you have to wade through large groups of people to get anywhere. Just generally felt very unsafe the whole time I was there. Spend your money at a different club like Alchemy or Legends, because this place ain't it.

More so geared towards the younger college crowd. Was still a good vibe though. Music was good.

All was good until I decided to order a round of 6 shots, which I later found out to be $77 (I get alerts as soon as my card is swiped). This was fairly expensive btw. The bartender then took my card, I figured it’s one of the bars where they keep a tab open and keep the card. Not the case. I left the bar and tried to go back to get my card and the bouncer was very persistent that I pay another $40 cover charge just to go inside to get my card back. I ended up canceling my card because I was not paying to go back inside. Fast forward a few days, that $77 charged turned into a $100 charge I never signed a receipt so I reported it to American Express with a picture and the name of the bartender that stole my card and they are taking care of the situation. Not to mention they would pick and choose who they let in because of lousy dress codes, I’ve also witnessed them serve multiple people who were obviously underage (I’ve already made a report to the state inspector and started a case).This could’ve all been avoided if I was just able to get my card back but the workers let their ego and greed get to their head.

Went to this bar for new years and the cover charge was $40. It was definitely not worth it. Not only did the bartenders give terrible service but constantly wouldn’t serve people of color as quickly as they would serve white people. The drinks are extremely over priced, watered down and not up to the quality advertised. Would NOT recommend having a night out here.

This place sucks! The bartender wouldn’t let myself and my buddy in due to the fact that we were “not in the appropriate attire” so happened to be that we were people of color. At the same time there were people behind me who happened to be of Caucasian decent getting let in no problem.
