    Nice place to have fun. Security is on point and the drinks are a 10! Recommend for a good night out!!!!

    The music was good and the drinks were really great very friendly crowd. Security at the door was really on point

    A bad security guard

    Showed up and security had "top flight security of the world Craig " Imagine having a whole party bus pull up, ready to spend money and have a good time... and the security ruins it before we even get inside. The attitude? Nasty. The customer service? Nonexistent. Congrats to the rude security for turning away a whole crowd of paying customers -- hope the power trip was worth it. I'll take my hard-earned money somewhere that actually wants business.

    You get patted down before entry that's kind of weird but I guess it's good to know there are safety precautions taken.

Gotta say, I think it will. You walk in through the patio which is a completely different (relaxing) vibe than the bar itself. The music is noticeably different, but nice if you're trying to have an intimate conversation. Walking in, the place is decorated nicely. I'm not sure what the theme is but by the signs exclaiming "t*Ts are awesome" and "girls girls girls" I'm assuming the name is not because Cash Rules Everything Around Me. The bartender was nice and friendly. They have specialty drinks, drink + shot combos, and packaged beers. The drink prices were more than reasonable. Dive bar prices with a very nice ambience. The music was great and spanned decades and genres. I found myself dancing in my seat and enjoying my time. It wasn't very crowded but after scouring their social media they've been open for about a month. I'm anxious to see their late night food menu. I've already made plans with friends to come back and check it out. Five stars for potential. I enjoyed my time there and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. TL;DR: cheap drinks, fun vibe, spacious and well decorated, classy with affordable drinks that won't break the bank. Fingers crossed on the kitchen, not yet open

I haven't been to a club for…read moremany years and don't drink alcohol but I was having a good time hanging with my friends and dancing. An elderly man who seemed either really drunk or on something else started moving in on our table, staring me down and standing way too close. Just as I was asking him to back up and give us some space one of the service staff walked by. He noticed the interaction and checked in with me to see if everything was ok. I told him I'd just asked the guy to back off and he let me know if needed we could ask the security guard to intervene. After another half hour or so of the man continuing to hover near us one of the security guards tapped me on the back letting me know they had been watching the guy stare at me and had decided to ask him to leave. I was blown away by this gesture, knowing they were really looking out for my safety that way. I want to say thank you to the staff for paying attention and prioritizing their customers wellbeing like that. Plus, it seemed like good vibes overall, everyone was dancing and having fun together. Big respect to the crew for keeping it fun and safe!

The lights and smoke definitely made the atmosphere! This place is a vibe! All the hits, smooth transitions, and giant strong, cheap drinks! You do you have to pay to enter I think $10 or so and they do check your bags and pat men down. We got two $12 beer mugs of Long Islands and we only should've gotten one! Honestly, by the time we had to leave because our parking was expire, we were smacked but didn't want to go because the music just kept getting better and better. It was about 2ish am and the music was still going. I will say the parking is really bad around here and if you don't pay they will tow. I seen many tows that night. This area is rowdy and a little rough but that's exactly how I like things. There was plenty of police on the street , If that makes you feel safe it doesn't for me, but I didn't feel in danger at all. Some interesting characters inside the club I'll say but nothing I never seen before. Overall fun night and would definitely recommend.

    Well, considering all the other awful reviews about this place I'm not even slightly surprised by…read morethe way the employees there treated me and my friends. My friends and I were having a good time and drinking, spending a lot of money toward this business. When all of a sudden my friend was accused of grabbing some girls butt while in the restroom. It's funny because he didn't and then they for some reason changed the story to say that the girls butt he grabbed was our other friend. That makes a lot of sense. Before this scuffle, there was also some guy that kept coming up to us and saying "fuck you," laughing and then walking away. He did this multiple times. Obviously was intoxicated and friends with the bartenders. Back to the butt grab situation, my guess is they were kicking us out to make room for other people. Maybe they had friends they wanted in or other regulars. Either way, I will never be going back to this place. If you see this review and all the others, stay far far away from this bar.

This short dude in a simpsons tshirt came up to me and told me to get off the chair because they remove chairs for when it gets busy. There were plenty of other chairs to take away but he attacked me first. I asked if I could finish taking a picture then I'll get off and he said "no I'm the owner" If you're the owner you shouldn't be so damn rude. It also didn't get busy at all. The music also sucks.
