This use to be called switch. Since the name change this dive bar atmosphere has change. The night I went, it was geared to young white stoners. Heaven drug use was obvious. The drinks tasted weird. Won’t be attending this location any time soon.

Absolutely horrible what happened to this place. Never updates when they're open, and am nowhere even close to what it was when it started. Not worth the drive.

Your bartender zack has some sort of moral superiority complex. I tried hitting on these girls didn’t work and out I’m fine with that. keep in mind before I say what I say I had a previous experience at a separate bar where I bought these girls drinks and they walked off. The bartender at previous bar offered to decline me paying for those said girls. That be saying said I thought zack might’ve been ok with that based on my previous experience at other bar. Instead of just a simple no zack went on this whole moral grandstand spiel lecturing me aggressively for 3 minuites. I tried to tell zack about my previous experience and offered to just pay for it all anyway as soon as he started getting angry (which was instantly as I asked) but I couldn’t get a word in then he rudely told me to leave. zack I have autism so im sorry I don’t pick up on queues all the time.

Pretty cute place. Went for an event where they had an open bar for an hour and ran with it. The bartenders were super nice and made a bunch of fun drinks. Layout downstairs was cool and the dj was good. Havent been during weekend nightlife but would love to sometime.

$10 for a rum and Pepsi. Plus an 18% service fee, on top of the tip meant my girlfriend and I paid $30 for a beer and a mix drink served out of plastic cups. Are you serious? The vibe was good and the staff friendly otherwise.$15 out the door for a small rum and Pepsi with a weak pour of alcohol in a plastic cup, filled to the brim with ice. At least the bartender said they were getting rid of the 18% service fee next week.

Cool place but drinks was to sweet and over priced and the coverage was definitely over the top especially with it being a hour left for it too be open.

This was a huge disappointment. Nothing like the website at all! There's only one floor now, the other has been sold to a Chinese restaurant. There are no fancy cocktails, drinks are served out of plastic cups. Also, there's an automatic 18% service fee added, and the bartender told me that's not a tip! We were completely hoodwinked! Would not recommend. Came to dance and the place was also nearly empty. I had earlier inquired about their special event table, but they just said it's $50 for the table and I'm required to spend $200 on food and alcohol. I know this must be a scam because when I was threre, there were no VIP sections to be seen. Do not waste your money. We traveled an hour just to come here.The only good thing is that when the bartender mispriced and overcharged my drink, she offered to give me a second, same drink (a pre-made frozen drink left over from mardi gras) on the house. I'm still dissatisfied because of the service charge on top of a tip, made things way overpriced for quality.

This bar had two TVs for the Super Bowl, audio between tvs had a 10 second delay making watching this game unpleasant. The food…pretzels were hot and hard, sent it back for some wings, they were raw and cold. The only thing I enjoyed was by beer. And had an interesting conversation with a guy who thought he was watching basketball.

I had always heard about this place, and decided to randomly try it out for a friends birthday late night. I think we caught them in a transition between themes and holidays so decor was limited.However, we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Bartender was on top of things, drinks were good and rang up correctly. They had a smash bros on the switch to entertain. My only complaint is I wish they had more games but I also think the basement area may have been closed the time we went.
Went here for New Year's with my wife & two friends. Worst possible choice. $50 per ticket. No re-entry. The floors were sticky, the bathrooms out of toilet paper, $40 for two drinks that would have been $16 *ANYWHERE* else in the city. Had to step outside to get some air; because they had the building packed shoulder to shoulder. No air circulation, just the hot musty breath of everyone in the building. Was not allowed back into the event, even after saying they could repeat their security search. The 'buffet' was the perfect way to get food poisoning. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. You've been warned. Not even a good place to stop if you *NEED* a bathroom.

My boyfriend and I got into the bar around 10 pm and there was no cover charge then. We were the first few people in the bar but it filled up with others pretty quickly and it was so much fun! The DJ was great! Played a mix of pop songs. The drinks were definitely on the pricier side: $32 for two cocktails. But the atmosphere and dancers were amazing so I would definitely go back again.

The only decor they had up was a Willy Wonka painted door. Was excited to go but when walked in the whole place had weird vibes. Left quickly.

Stopped by the first time during First Friday and we couldn't have had a better time! The different themed rooms are cool, but the staff is what makes this place amazing! Kierra and James made the best Manhattan I have ever had in my life! They were so much fun to hang out with and really know how to make customers feel welcomed.I will definitely be back!

Switch is always cool and has great themes! Our bartender Summer customized a drink for me that was amazing and she was really nice. A great weekend spot!
