Renowned for its lively dance floor, friendly yet firm staff, and well-managed VIP sections, it’s a popular spot for celebrations and weekend nights.

Feedback
This venue is an 18+ establishment. We visited on a Saturday, and the cover charge was $20 for those under 21 and $5 for those over 21. Since it was my first time there, I'm not sure if this pricing is standard. I usually feel a bit skeptical about places that charge a cover fee, as they often seem more focused on making money. The atmosphere was lively, with many people dancing and a great vibe overall. The music selection was diverse, ranging from EDM to Hip Hop and Wack. I appreciated the variety and enjoyed it as well. There were security personnel walking around, which I thought was a positive aspect, as it helps maintain a safe environment. Overall, it was an enjoyable place, but I still question the need for a cover fee, especially for those over 21 who are purchasing drinks. I can see the rationale for charging those under 21, though.
VIP is one of our favorite spots for Friday or Saturday nights. The staff always do a great job managing the sections. I've celebrated my friend's birthday here, and three other friends have had their birthdays celebrated here as well. We’re planning to go again this Friday! They offer special deals on drinks and birthday bottle service. It can be a bit pricey, but the music is consistently great! The restrooms are never overly crowded—I've only had to wait in line once or twice, but it moved quickly. They’re always clean too. Overall, my experiences here have been excellent!
The music is good. Great to dance. The bartenders had a really hard time listening to us for the music. I thought the canned beer was a little pricy and it was the only kind of beer. They have a terrace for smokers. Many young people are very alive. The place was pleasant and I think it's a good place to go.
Poor customer service period. Made a reservation for a VIP table for my sister's birthday and they tried to sit us next to the bathrooms at a table other people were already sitting at. When I told them this was unacceptable they cleared out a table below VIP (yet there was an empty table in VIP from the moment we walked in where the group hadn't bought a bottle but a bucket of beers. Before they did this they tried to tell us we could still buy the bottle but what would be the point if we had no where to drink it. Needless to say we left and went to a far better bar on the east side Born and Raised they also had better DJs.
This place is 18 . We went on a Saturday and they cover the fee was $20 for under 21 and $5 for over 21. I don't know if that's consistent, like my first time. I'm always sceptical of places that have a door fee. Mostly because they are only hungry for money. The place was packed and many people danced so the mood was good. The music ranged from EDM to Hip Hop and Wackback. Nice different music played, which I also enjoyed. You have security walking the places I thought was great. It is best to keep things in hand when you see them running around. Overall, it was a good place, but I still don't think they need a cover fee, at least for people over 21 who actually buy drinks. I understand that under 21.
