Music is great!!! Well drinks are nice and strong but way too overpriced- $17-20$ with tip for a Jameson Ginger Ale. Also Big Bertha that guards the bathrooms- y’all need to pay her more because she asked me to buy her a strawberry Hennessy and she’ll Apply Pay me. Than she told me she couldn’t afford to pay me the $20 and her phone died. So on top of that she can’t afford to buy herself a phone charger. How embarrassing for your establishment. Also one of the bathrooms- the light was out. How y’all can’t afford to buy a light bulb to fix the bathroom but yall can charge $20 for a well drink. Make it make sense please. You’re welcome for this review.

T’was a bit dead on a Sunday night, but I enjoyed my time here. I come for the great music and hookah, they never disappoint. The drinks are always great with friendly bartenders, this night was no exception. A bit pricey but excellent quality and strength. Two doubles and I was good for the night. Usually it’s a guy making the hookah on the weekend and he does an excellent job. This visit it was a younger female and the hookah was weak with not a lot of drag (though the flavor was pleasant). I asked for blueberry mint and she brought me the hookah saying that she added a bit of peach as well (but peach was all I tasted). Probably wouldn’t order hookah again if she’s the one making them, but everything else was great.

Most unprofessional bar I’ve ever been to. Went to celebrate my friends birthday there recently and we must of spent over $1000 on bottles and drinks. But they proceeded to ban my friend the next day due to their manager having a personal problem with one of my friends. Which only started because my friend wasn’t interested in the manager and he would then mess with him constantly and threaten to kick him out. One of the bartenders also tried to keep $40 of my friends money cause he was too drunk to remember he ordered the two drinks and just started rambling nonsense.EDIT: Since management wants to continue to be unprofessional let me say the whole story. First of all the issue with the piss was MONTHS ago. So why would you continue to take their money for months afterwards when there was no other issue. Secondly, yes the piss was uncalled for but it was a prank after the bartender was throwing ice at my friend. My friend intended to hand the drink to the bartender but another bartender took it and said he was gonna give it to the worker but ended up drinking it himself. So the big question is why is a bartender drinking something that wasn’t for him anyways? I didn’t include any of this because like I said that situation was months ago and it was not my experience. So no I didn’t embarrass myself. You guys just proved my point on how unprofessional this establishment is.

Been here twice had a wonderful time
I came here last night and woke up to random charges to pizza shops and checkers that I know I didn’t buy.I left very sober. Watch how you use your card here, the bartenders will use it for themselves.Be careful y’all, just carry cash.
?❤️? good vibes & strong drinks
Not all clientele was either willing or easy to talk to in this LGBTQ + “friendly” bar/lounge. I was charged $45 for two drinks with a $4 tip of which one came in a miniature kiddie glass. The music was blaring to the point of distortion, and the DJ blasted noisy sirens ???? every 5 minutes or so that were deafening. It was almost impossible to hold a conversation without having to shout. Very disappointing.
Whatever manager or “supervisor” was there tonight, made the place seem extremely messy. I actually did not get in. I came with 3 other ppl who were willing to pay the !unadvertised! $10 entrance fee. Why am I paying on a Thursday, idk. But anyway , the point of contact gets pulled away and returns to tell my party we can not come in. When I asked for what reason , he replied with he simply could not. He just could not. Turns out the real reason is bc the person in charge’s ex is friends with one of my friends. So simply for the acquaintance factor , we were denied entry. Welp, for another club , I went searching.
