Customer Reviews
Cloud has a rating of 3.7 out of 5 based on over 101 reviews on Google
I was treated terribly at cloud. They posted that they were having a "Grand Reopening". when i arrived the bouncer told us we weren’t allowed in because of private events. I wasted for 15MIN and only white people were let in no questions asked. whenever anyone of color came up they were IMMEDIATELY asked who they were with. i am truly DISGUSTED by the way this bar rebranded
This bar is awesome, the lines can be long but so worth it. Chase was amazing, really made the experience personal. If you ever meet him you’re lucky. 10/10 can’t recommend more
denying POC to your "grand reopening" but happily accepting white people- no questions asked. unacceptable. never coming back here again.
If you are having fun with friends this is a great place to go. Could use a better DJ. Songs don’t always flow. Sound system is good and a lot of room. Great vibes. Don’t lose anything because there is no phone to call. Friend left phone and no way get in contact with them. Came in at 9:18 and although the door was open they were having a meeting and instead info of one person coming to talk with me, they told me to come back in 30 minutes and the young ladies behind the bar laughed. That was odd. Nonetheless it is a good time.
Miles and Reed took extra care of making sure that the women’s bathroom was perfectly on top of the cleanliness it needed to be. Most of the bars in downtown do not take this amount of respect to the women’s bathroom and we really appreciate that Cloud does. We have never seen a bar downtown that actually uses chemicals to clean their floor, everybody else just lies.
As an Irishman, I can assure you that this is the best pub i’ve ever been in. I went to Athens as a tourist and I loved Dolla Wednesday. Shoutout to the bouncer Cole who truly made my holiday worthwhile. Big ups Cloud 🇮🇪
We were inside before it got busy. It was empty so we left to go to another spot & came back. Came back & got in the line just to be told we couldn’t come back in because my friend had a neck tattoo .. after he was inside earlier. Very discriminatory. They couldn’t even give my friend ( a Black, young adult DEGREED man) a reason why that rule is in place .. when it was never addressed when we initially went in.
