The space itself was really cool and had a great vibe, but my overall experience fell short. Drinks were pretty expensive ($18–$20), and prices were not communicated before paying, which was a red flag. I came here in the wintertime and they had a mandatory coat check and required cash only. They did have an ATM on-site though. One of the craziest things I have seen was the design of the women's restroom. The women’s restroom doors were semi-see-through... You could definitely see people through them. I felt so uncomfortable using the bathroom here. What was interesting to me was that the men’s restroom doesn’t have the same design. Overall, nice atmosphere, but the lack of transparency, extra fees, and questionable restroom design took away from my experience.

The night I came, they did raffles which is cool. You had a chance to win merch or DJ. They also have non alcoholic choices, I chose the Mionetto Prosecco, super good. A few vendors were there and I bought a cool alien sprout. I would go again and I relate this club to KRAZY ATL back in Atlanta Georgia. Very inclusive, fun, and no judgement, just fun.

All the staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful with everything! I don’t remember everyone’s names, but I do remember Jessica — she’s the bartender, and she’s absolutely amazing! You’re the best! Jessica - luv ya!

We had so much fun! The mixed beverages at the front bar were not the best, but having access to high noon and rebull was redemption! We loved the music, the sound system was good quality, the staff were attentive, I've never been in a club that kept the floor SO CLEAN!! fantastic, will definitely be back!

Easy entry. No line. $4 for coat check. Restrooms were very clean with an attendant. Bartenders super quick and efficient. Drinks are at least 30% cheaper then any other night club around especially soundbar that is across the street. Not too spacious but it never got overly crowded. Nice thing is they have seating outside of the vip area that is for everyone so you could rest your feet or back at anytime. They also have a merchandise booth. And security does their job at keeping everyone safe. One complaint would be the sound system. The bass was not adjusted so it was not really pleasant. Thankfully they fixed it a bit but it was still problematic.
