What can I say about this spot? True drink pours so get your drink on (responsibly, of course)! Cute, friendly bartenders please tip them well! Go-go dancer yes see previous tipping policy. Music always on point! And to top it off a depictions of one of my best friends from back in the day Jojo Baby!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Unforgettable Night! From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric! The music was on point all night every set kept the crowd moving without a break. The DJs clearly knew how to read the room and keep the vibe alive. The staff were super friendly and professional, and the bartenders made some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time—quick service, even when it was packed. Lighting and visuals were incredible, and the sound system? Next-level. Crystal clear, deep bass, no distortion even at full volume. You can feel the music, not just hear it. The crowd was a great mix of people just there to have a good time—no drama, just good vibes all around. Security was present but respectful and low-key, which made the space feel both safe and free. Whether you're looking for a wild night out or just want to dance your stress away, this place delivers. Can’t wait to come back!

Came here a few weeks ago to support one of my DJ friends for an event here, drinks were ridiculously expensive which I accepted whatever, but I didn’t appreciate the server Jeanette adding an extra $5 tip that I didn’t authorize, gratuity was already included by the way. I don’t like grimy service I won’t be back for that alone.

The music and people were great but overall this place is a scam. 1. The cover online is more expensive than at the door, usually it’s the opposite which is the benefit of buying prior to coming. 2. The bartenders were a little too lit. Charging random prices for drinks, under pouring shots etc. my friends and I drank the same drinks all night and the price was different every single time. We paid $52 for a gin and tonic and two well shots of tequila at one point. I get that gratuity is included regardless that is absolutely ridiculous. 3. They don’t give out free water. I had two friends ask for water and they only give out bottles and charge you for them. I’m not for sure but I don’t think that is legal. It’s too bad the djs and people were cool bc we won’t be returning.

Went here for Kpop Club Night but they changed DJs and did not play Kpop. The DJ song selection consisted of mainly Blackpink and while I do appreciate their songs, I would much prefer a more diverse selection. Songs also were repetitive. There is an upper floor section and the venue itself was fine. Btw water is not free here

DO NOT DRINK HERE! They WILL rip you off!! Ultimately spent almost $70 for 3 well drinks! $18 for a whiskey coke! $25 for a Long Island!! Well drinks that cost 8 or 9 anywhere else. If you're going to an event here, come buzzed already or be prepared to get ripped off. Even the BARTENDERS know customers are being fleeced, one apologized to me as he gave me the drink. For a venue that services LGBTQ clientele, including some minority groups that aren't known for their disposable income, this place should feel ashamed to be queer owned and charging the LGBTQ community the prices they do. Your drink prices are indefensible!!!

Wasted $80 on a new year's ticket here, most dead club/bar I've ever been to, unbelievable on a major holiday. 2 people on the dance floor. Regret buying my ticket. Cool space, has potential, most staff are friendly, but was not worth the $80 event ticket. Left and went somewhere more lively. DJ was terrible.
