Customer Reviews
The Castle has a rating of 4.2 out of 5 based on over 935 reviews on Google
Been here 3 times over the last few years & never had a bad experience with staff. They are always friendly, unless you are rude to them first. The drinks are always strong. Music is always good. Genuinely one of my favorite clubs that I have ever been to.
Me and my bestfriend went there on Friday to try a new place. Me and her were having a great time until we went to the upstairs bathroom to take pictures and not long the lady in the back round called the security and had two security to ask us to leave. We asked why and they didn’t answer they said we had to leave. Honestly i think she ( lady in the background) had a problem with us and didn’t say anything so she had to call security. never will i go there again.
We were introduced to this place by our friend who comes here every weekend and we are so happy we got to experience this place! We drove over 3 hours and we got to party at the best goth club I’ve ever been to. The music and vibes here are awesome and there are so many cool people to meet and dance with. There is even a whipping station as well as two bars.
Excellent drinks and the female bartenders are always so sweet! Small drawback; The "requests welcome" is NOT always the case. The other day I went up to the dj, tip in hand as a thank you for listening to my request and she caught a REAL heavy attitude despite my polite request (i literally asked "can i make a request please and thank you" so it definitely wasnt me who started the tudefest). Luckily the DJ in a different room was willing to play the industrial song i wanted (which is funny cuz the industrial dj was the one that gave me issues and yet the Darkwave DJ was so down to play my song lol)but definitely a jarring experience to see "requests welcome" and then have the dj act like I just shot them by handing them a tenner and asking for ONE song I like with both a please AND thank you. Bring your own headphones if you want to request a song or maybe try and befriend the DJs, I heard they tend to want to take requests from friends but not other patrons.
I absolutely loved The Castle. The energy of the place is unreal — from the gothic atmosphere to the lights to the incredible crowd. It didn’t matter who you were or what you were wearing; everyone was welcome, expressive, and fully in the moment. DJ Veine was amazing and kept the whole place moving all night. The music, the vibe, and the people all came together to make it one of the best nightlife experiences I’ve ever had. I’d go back anytime.
i have been going to the castle for almost a year now. it is my favorite place ever and i drive two hours every weekend and it’s worth it. first, it’s one of the cheapest clubs i’ve been to. $12 to get in is great. the line moves pretty fast and i’m glad there are two lines so it goes by quicker. the security are also amazing because i have never seen an incident in here. i enjoy all the music and different rooms however i wish they would switch the downstairs music up a little bit. when i went almost a year ago they would play emo or goth music, or throwbacks and now its just pop or the trending songs. also the stamping system should be better because one time i almost couldn’t get back in because the lady didn’t fully stamp me. other than that best club ever full of diversity and i love everyone here 🖤
This place sucks now. They upped the entry fee to $15 for ppl 21+ and $20 for ppl under 21. Used to be $10 and $12. Remember when they used to have a "regulars/all black clothes" line? They just let anyone in now, it's become poser city. I no longer see the regular goth peeps I always used to see. Also you consistently hear basic club music downstairs, like normie tier stuff. What are we doing??? Everything sucks now and The Castle joined the club. If by chance a millionaire investor is reading this, take the leap and start up a new legit goth club. The scene is ripe for the taking.
