Music on point and location is prime! Being attached to the casino and food court is definitely a bonus! Music was great and cover was $20, but expected for this type of place. Pro Tip: Go up the stairs of the plaza and the casino has free coat check! read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would. The bouncers were on a power trip and being unnecessarily aggressive to patrons. Absolutely disgusting.

Decided to try it out regardless of all the bad reviews. Stood outside in the cold for 10 mins with security all sitting inside in view of us having conversation. After a while, we asked someone else who we thought was in line with us. Turns out, he was the bouncer, he said "I'm having a conversation, that's what's taking so long" and proceeded to continue. We immediately left the line as we already had a bad feeling about this place due to the reviews, and then he tried yelling for us to call back when we were waiting for our Uber, when we said no thank you, he continued to yell rude remarks. So unprofessional, would absolutely not recommend! read more

Dragonfly was the centrepiece of the worst nightlife experience of my life. I'll do my best to keep this brief. The bouncers here must hate every minute of their waking lives - at least that's the only way I can make sense of their behaviour. Miserable men who've finally achieved the slightest bit of power. I feel sorry for whomever has the chore of presently knowing them. I feel sorrier for the future patrons of this cesspool who are forced to communicate with them while assuming some level of baseline competence - you will be sorely disappointed. "Dress code" apparently means "dress like a boomer." I have no idea what they want people to wear. One of my friends nearly wasn't allowed entry because he had army-green pants on, despite our having a table booked with a minimum spend of several bottles. "I don't care if you have ten bottles reserved, that's the dress code." Ill leave it to the reader to conjure this character in their own way. We executed a Jedi mind trick and convinced the weak-minded human to let us in, where we were then searched. Prepare to be aggressively prodded and examined in ways you didn't think were legal in a security line to gain entry. Coat check - don't even think of wearing a sweater - not dress code. Also, you will be forced to check any outerwear, because you're not allowed to bring jackets to the private booth you've reserved. The music is fucking terrible. If he were there, I'm sure Pitbull would have loved his ego stroked as they played five of his hit singles. Also, bring an extra coat, because whatever you're forced to check might be stolen by the staff. "Sorry, nothing here matching your tag." I walked to my hotel in the freezing cold upon realizing my checked sweater was "missing." This place should honestly be shut down. This is what happens when you're the only show in town - you play your haphazard bullshit on the unsuspecting crowd like a broken record. The ownership and staff of this placed should be ashamed for associating themselves with such a disgrace. Do the world a favour and disclaim your lease. read more

Went last weekend with some friends and tho the wait outside was horrrible. We had a good time. Word of advice, GET THERE BEFORE 11:30pm . After that time they make you wait for no apparent reason. Cover's $20. Ladies free before 12. The drinks were quite reasonably priced throughout the night. There's a pretty large dance floor and many booths available. Don't know capacity, but definitely bigger than most if not all nightclubs in Toronto. Which is great cause our group just wanted to dance so we had space. There were also these lasers/lights that complimented the music and really helped with the overall feel of the place. The crowd is a mixture, but most probably 25+. They played a mix of house, top 40 and some old school jams. Even with the wait, I would come back. Not many options in Niagara and this isn't a bad choice. read more

Dragonfly - great laser/light display - Bars Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

Food: n/a Service: 4/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Decor & Style: 5/5 "Dragonfly Nightclub is a 12,000 square foot fanciful fusion of experience - with music from world renowned DJ's, state of the art sound and lighting systems, exceptional ambiance and an outstanding Las Vegas style VIP section, including bottle service." - their website Wow this place was nice! Its huge, packed, and seems like the place everyone goes. I'm surprised to be the first Yelper on here. Then again, i'm sure most people from Ontario don't yelp too much. Dragonfly has great VIP lounges and seems high class. It's been awhile since i've seen a nice club such as this one. It's connected to the casino and mall. Located in the happening section of Niagara Falls. 5 stars! http://dragonflynightclub.com/newsite/public/index_flash.html read more

Dragonfly - Bars Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

I should have listened to all of the 1 star reviews because they are all accurate. The woman bouncer was on a serious power trip. Deemed it necessary to "security check" my boobs and run her hands down my body (I'm 21F). She made me empty my pockets for her. Then she proceeded to open my card wallet and pull out every card inside to examine each. Super unnecessary for a dead, cheugy club. Don't worry about your colonoscopy. Just go to dragonfly and they'll search you down just the same;) read more

I've seen a lot of people mentioning how intense the pat down at the door was and they are not messing around. Expect nothing less than a full body cavity search. They search and they search deep with no warning. After I had my body and soul turned inside out by security the club unsurprisingly turned out not to be worth it. I wish I never went near dragon fly. read more

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT try to set up a bottle service event at this club. I had a group on 60-70 people that I was told all month planning- ladies free before 11:30 and boys $10 at the door. When we got there, half our group was moved from the bottle service line and put outside where they then were told they had to pay $40-60 at the door because they didnt have a "ticket," I was never once told about a ticket or given a ticket to give anyone. Inside, the club overcharged us when they knew what our initial budget was. On top of that, members of our group were kicked out throughout the night for "looking too drunk" plus multiple phones stolen. Super unorganized, rude staff, and overall awful place. read more

Honestly not worth a night out in Niagara. At this point, might as well go cross the border to have a fun time. Bouncers, security guards and whoever the front of house staff are (bartenders were fine) have no concept of customer service and were rude/scammers. The manager who again should be the face of the organization is even worse than his staff. Sleazy, liar with racist undertones. I'd look elsewhere if I were you. read more

For everybody who is either too young or too poor to go the real Vegas. There is no fault in that. read more

Dragonfly - lights and beats - Bars Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

Dragonfly? More like dragonshit. We had reserved a booth with a 10 person guest list but 4 people still had to pay a coverage fee. Service was terrible, two different people told us two different things. They charged us extra for one of our bottles, above the agreed upon price. Never going here again. read more

The bouncers enjoy going on power trips. Staff are unprofessional and aggressive, they do not treat customers with respect. They insist on charging for coat check and cover even with bottle service. I do not recommend this establishment. read more

I always love coming to this club! The staff are so welcoming and are quick to get whatever my friends and I need. we love the music and can always count on this place for a good time! It's also in a great location right next to the casino! read more

My first time at Dragonfly nightclub was about 8 years ago, for a friend's birthday party, I don't remember too much except for the fact that the security guards are excellent at their jobs in booting out sleazy guys who bother you. Recently I came for a bachelorette party on a Saturday night. For a nightclub you'll often get in for free if you're a woman, or pay a small cover charge. BUT since we're in Niagara, none of that applies. All people who walk in are charged a $20 COVER CHARGE. wowza. Since however there are only about 3 nightclubs in Niagara and this IS the nicest one. I'm not surprised. The club is spacey and they take an entrance photo of your group to post on their facebook. (Make sure to check a few days later.) You can get a private section or bottle service for an additional fee, however there is plenty of room to dance if you so choose. Prices for drinks are your typical bar pricing. There is a ton of security around so don't worry about not feeling safe, and the bathrooms are guarded by staff of the appropriate gender, so no funny business can go down. Overall this nightclub is definitely the best in Niagara, it's been around forever and I think it will continue to be. The music is great, the strobe lighting is fantastic, a must go to if you're into the club scene. 4/5 read more

We came to Dragonfly as a part of my bachelorette weekend since it's so well located in downtown Niagara Falls and we wanted to go dancing. We were on the guestlist but still had to pay the $20 cover, so beware that you may need to pay cover whether you're on the guestlist or not. We didn't have to wait long to get in and they do check your bags when you go in but it was more of a cursory glance than a full on check. Location is fantastic, if you're staying anywhere near Fallsview, its less than 5 minutes to get to it and you can access it from inside fallsview if its cold out. The line inside fallsview was faster than the one outside but it wasn't terrible either way. The music here is just awful. The DJ played maybe four songs I'd ever heard before in an hour and about 30 seconds of each before he changed it, despite the fact that the crowd was responding to these well-known dance songs. The first half hour of music sounded like he was just playing songs off one album in a row - very little distinction between songs which made it boring. But the dance floor is large and the bar is too, was never hard to get to the bar to get a drink, which is a nice change from clubs in Toronto where you have to push and shove. They have some wicked cool lighting on the ceiling, which was fun to watch, especially when they projected stuff across it. For me, big fat fail. We had better music going in our hotel room off youtube than the junk this DJ played, or whoever was doing the music. Look for another place to go or if you really wanna go clubbing, go to Toronto to see how real clubs do a dance club. Really disappointed by this experience and I won't be back!!! read more

Dragonfly is your first, and pretty much last, option for an acceptable nightclub in Niagara Falls. I went to Dragonfly on a Saturday night for a friend's bachelor party. There were ten of us and we had guestlist. Upon arriving at 10:30, there was no lineup and we got in within five minutes. This was very different from my first experience two years ago when I was told that I would have to wait one hour to get in after arriving at midnight. Cover was $20 which is pretty steep, but given that it is Niagara Falls it's not unusual. The drinks were average price, about $6.50 for a vodka-tonic. They were really weak though. The service was prompt. By 11 pm the club started to get busy. There were a LOT of bachelorette parties there, so there was no shortage of girls. It was quite a challenge to move around the club and there is always someone bumping into you and spilling your drink. The club is nothing special, and the music is average. The best part has to be the crowd. Just make sure you get there early. read more

Why can't we give shit holes like this 0 stars? We were there for a bachelor party. We got a booth with four bottles totalling $1200 and these clowns still made us pay $20 cover. To make matters worst was the DJ and the absolute crappy music he played for 2+ hours. I do have to say that the security at the door and the waitresses at the bottle service were pretty professional. But the DJ and the crowed in this place gets a HUGE thumbs down from me. read more

We had a great time at this place. I like the atmosphere and the music is really good. We made sure to get there before 11:30. There was no line and the place was kind of empty. It got crowded pretty quick, though. The emptiness gave us a chance to acclimate to the environment. The sound system is really good. The drinks are CHEAP! I come from NY, so they are half the price that I'm used to paying. For a vodka cran and sea breeze we paid $13 Canadian. No bad at all!. Even if you RSVP, you have to pay. Soooo, makes no sense to RSVP, really. The only issue I had with this place is the abundance of promiscuous Indian men. OMG! I thought NYC was bad, but that had to be the worst I have ever experienced. We barely danced because every time we tried to, some guy would try to attach themselves to our bodies. No! I think we were there during some Indian wedding after parties. That is the only explanation for the abundance of promiscuous Indian people. It is definitely a place to go if you want to party. I would stay close to the bouncers. read more

They dont know how to make drinks... got a whiskey and coke had the smallest amount of whiskey I'd ever seen. Beers cost an arm and leg. Bartender was nice every one else that worked there was just am ass whole. read more

I wasn't horrible. But drinks are poor, if you order a mix drink, say a screw driver, they have regulator's on the bottle's that shut off at a little less then a shot per drink, and most of it ends up on the table they pour on 'cause the bartenders can't aim. They are in desperate need of a new DJ or soemthing, cause they basically take techno music and remix it, but unfortunately not very well. I swear I was listening to the same songs for over an hour. Oooh but I DID get to see a fight between some teenie boppers who did somehow manage to empty their wallets enough to get drunk! -_- read more

This was probably the largest club I've ever been to, which doesn't say too much seeing as how this was probably the third club ive been to in Canada haha. An enormous area to dance, with a very lit and colourful ceiling. There were 2 main bar areas to make ordering drinks that much easier. One of the things I thought was pretty cool was that there were some tables around the outside premise of the dance floor for people to lean on and rest their drinks on. It's also situated right in downtown Niagara Falls, so if you're in the area doing some sightseeing, might as well make a stop here at some point in your night - that is, if you enjoy the clubbing scene. From what I could tell, the average age of the guests was late 20s- early 30s. Pretty steep cover price however.... $20 per person, even for girls :/ read more

had a horrible and extremely upsetting experience at this club on Saturday night (August 10, 2019). My friends and I had arranged to have bottle service as we were celebrating someone's birthday and we'd wanted to do something special for her. We received confirmation emails from Sarah that we would be getting bottle service that night along with passes for 4 of us to enter the club for free when we arrived. The friend who'd booked the bottle service also knew the DJ who said he would had two additional people in our group of 7 to the guest list. When we arrived we were met with a very different situation than what we'd agreed to. We were told that only one person would get in for free as the DJ had put them on the guest list and that the rest of us would pay a "reduced cover" of 15 dollars instead of the regular 20. This was a bit ridiculous as we were already paying for bottle service and I can genuinely say I've never once had to pay cover after I've already agreed to pay for bottle service. We tried showing the emails to security and to the person at coat check multiple times and were called liars. They refused to even check the emails and said we'd have no choice but to pay cover. This was a shady business practice but whatever, we just wanted to enjoy our friends birthday celebration. Next thing I know, my friend is being surrounded by security as she stood in line and being asked to leave because the girl working coat check said she'd thrown money at her. What a preposterous allegation, we had all been standing together and no such thing had occurred. Furthermore, how many hyper-aggressive male security guards does it take to remove one woman who had displayed zero aggression? She obliged and left the line and stood over to the side waiting for us. My other friends and I tried to reason with the overly aggressive security guards but were told our only options were to go in the club and leave our friend behind, or to all leave at once. Naturally we chose to all leave as it was a ridiculous and unfair situation. Unfortunately the birthday girl had already entered the club at this point and was by herself, she had already been drinking and I was worried about her being alone. I personally asked one of the security guards if he could go get her for me so that I could explain the situation to her and we could leave, he agreed to help me out and was very kind. However, about a minute later another security guard came over and told me it was too bad and I'd have to call her. I explained to him that I'd called her and texted her already with no answer and once again he called me a liar and repeated that it was too bad. I cannot for the life of me understand the behaviour of these security guards, I explained to them that I hadn't even been asked to leave the club, I just wanted to get my friend and then they called over another security guard. I thought since she was a woman there was a chance she'd understand the situation I was in a bit better and be more sympathetic to me not wanting my friend to be left alone in a club. Unfortunately I was very mistaken, this guard was perhaps the most aggressive of them all, she acted like she had something to drive, even when no one was challenging her. This security guard, Taylor, was on a power trip of epic proportions. After I explained what happened she said too bad and that I'd have to leave as I had been asked to exit the club. I explained to her that no, this isn't true, my friend had been asked to leave, and I'd be happy to oblige and go, as soon as the birthday girl was with us. She then told me that two other security guards had told her I needed to leave, I once again explained to her that no, that wasn't me, that was my friend. Keep in mind that my friend and I bear absolutely no resemblance to one another. Taylor the security guard then grabbed me, twisted my arm behind me, and pushed me out of the line. How horrifying this experience was, as a security guard, Taylor had no legal right to touch me. I was never aggressive, I never threatened her, I was angry yes, but it was because none of them would do their jobs and assist my friends and I. I asked Taylor why she had touched me and she told me I had tried to "step to her". I have never gotten into a fight in my life, unlike Taylor I actually do not believe in physical aggression, so no, I did not try to "step to her". As a racialize woman, this incident with Taylor was very triggering for me. All i could think about was the countless views I've seen of P.O.C being attacked for seemingly no reason and I could not believe this was happening to me. Although my instinct was to fight back, I did not for fear of what could happen to me simply because of the colour of my skin. I took a picture of Taylor afterwards and we exchanged words where she threatened to call the police on me. By doing this, Taylor even further committed to a nasty narrative where people of colour become policed and criminalized for read more

The best part of this place is the ambiance and the dj. However, their drinks are a complete waste of money as they put only a splash of alcohol in your drink (they have these special tops on the bottle.) Also, you have to pay a cover charge and wait in line for a while. Overall, not a good time. read more

Good: Music great, service good. Bad: Random group of guys attacked my friend and tried to attack him again outside. The cops assigned to the club pinned the other guys down but let them go even though a buddy wasn't involved in the second fight and they were clear aggressors. It seems that if you come here on a long weekend you are going to be dealing with a tough crowd. It's a nice club but it's not worth it. Also, If you get bottle service (minimum 2 bottles or about $550) you still have to pay cover which is $20 per person. Not worth the trouble, might as go to Toronto and go to real club and not deal with this ridiculousness. read more

I wish I could have given 0 rating to the pathetic staff of this club. We submitted our jackets while entering the club, for which they ofcourse charged us, on new year's eve. When we returned our tickets for jackets back they misbehaved and asked us to back off stating staff couldn't find our jacket and we have to wait till 3 am (we were leaving at 1 am so 2 hours of wait time). When we said we can't wait and we have to return to Toronto early in the morning, they forced us out of the club. Highly unprofessional and pathetic people. Never going back again. Inhumane and sh***y people. read more

I give this club one star and only because of the DJ he did his job and the music was great all night! As for the service inside the club it is absolutely pathetic I have never witnessed anything like this and I have been to clubs all around the world. As a Canadian from Toronto I am embarrassed to have a club like this representing our country so close to the boarder. I went to this club for my bday thinking it would be a good choice for me and my guests, it turned out to be a complete embarrassment. The bartenders are absolutely horrendous and only exist to scam every customer that walks in the door. I had a party of 15 (all over 25) and 11 out of 15 people were ripped off at the first bar if you pay for a drink with a $20 they will give you change for a $10 and you have to wait and actually ask for your change or its assumed you don't want it. I ordered 10 shots of whisky and the bartender gave me 10 shots of a week mixed drink, I asked for the manager immediately and he stood with the bartender saying "this is whisky" I said whisky comes from a bottle not a shaker in the end I paid about $100 for no alcohol I would suggest no one goes to this pathetic scamming Mickey mouse club unless they are looking forward to being ripped off and getting in elementary arguments to justify yourself .If you must be sure to drink before you go as the bartenders have a plan of their own if you're going to tip anyone make sure its the DJ as the bartenders will be stealing their tips and your money as well. Customers beware. read more

This place definitely is not worth your time or money! Between their staff being unnecessarily rude, racist and overly aggressive they make empty bottle service promises that leave you having to pay stupid expensive cover at the door! That is, if they feel obliged to let you in without issue. (Which if you read other reviews, you can see this is already unlikely) Their management needs a serious revamp and their power tripping security replaced entirely. Avoid this place at all costs! read more

This place is absolutely terrible - do NOT come. I came in a very large group that had notified the club in advance and worked out a deal for line bypass. When we arrived the bouncers were completely unprofessional and rude to us - constantly yelling insults and rude comments at us without providing information on how we could better organize ourselves to get into the club. Once we reached the front of the line, the bouncers asked us to move into the bottle service line so we could be let into the club next. They then proceeded to completely ignore us for the rest of the night and let in people who were far behind us in line, before completely shutting down entry to the club for no apparent reason. Incredibly incompetent and astoundingly rude bouncers. -100000000/10 would not recommend. Not to mention one member of our group was physically assaulted, choked, and pushed to the ground by a bouncer 3x his size. Completely astounded. read more

I went here for my sisters Bachelorette party and I really wish I didn't. Here's why: - The cover was $20 which is very steep for the quality you receive. Also, what's the point of a guest list if you still pay full cover? - Drinks are overpriced considering their quality. - The space is also very small for the amount of traffic this club pulls. There was literally no room at all to dance without you bumping into someone. - Me and my friends were stalked by some random creepy man the whole night and he even assaulted us by putting his hands on our waists. That alone ruined my night. - The DJ was really horrible. He only played EDM, and his choices were super boring. I will never come back here again. Dragonfly is a certified tourist trap. Niagara needs better clubs because this place was a disaster. read more

0 stars if possible. The worst staff I've ever experienced who also take money bribes to cut the line. Was physically assaulted by a woman twice my age waiting in line because she was mad she had been waiting for 2 hours and started screaming disgusting things at the group I was with. She hit my boyfriend and proceeded to hit me in the eye. Everyone around me called for a bouncer telling him what happened, including me standing in front of him holding my eye hysterically crying. He told us "I can't do anything I didn't see it" and told my boyfriend to control me since I'm the one who got hit. He was not willing to listen to the context. read more

AWFUL EXPERIENCE. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. I came to dragonfly as part of a large group and we put down a large deposit. This initial payment was set to cover all of the girls and allow the boys to pay $10, half the price of the normal entry fee. Instead, the bouncers tricked us into paying and then pocketed $40. We advanced to the ticket booth, where we were told we then paid the cover fee and when we asked why we had to pay the bouncers earlier, the manager figure told us he had nothing to do with that and would not help us. I was pushed and cursed at several times by staff even thought I was being cooperative and respectful. Disgusting experience and awful service. read more

JUNE 14/2013 I went with 3 other girls to Niagara for a ladies night. When I put us on guestlist earlier that day I was told they were absolutely full for VIP but upon arrival I politely asked the manager if he could do something for us. They had a last-minute cancellation and we were promptly escorted to a table in the VIP section. We were the only girls in the area except for the servers. Paid $225 for a $25 bottle of vodka and when 3 guys lingered near us I asked the bouncer to get them away from us and he replied "why don't you just leave". After a brief umm WTF on my part, it became evident he assumed us four girls were just bottle hounding these random guys when it was actually the other way around. I would tell you the rest of the story but I don't remember because I was roofied and had respiratory failure and eventually I slipped into a coma. This was not before two bouncers had to help carry me out because my friends say they were all asked to leave when I became visibly intoxicated. When the girls told security I wasn't drinking before we arrived and the bottle was still more than half full they didn't care. When I woke up in the ER the doctor said they didn't know if I was going to make it I had enough rohypnol for 5 people my size in the toxicology report. Be careful read more

Probably the best club in Niagara Falls which is disappointing, but still worth checking out. Dress nicely if you want to get in.

If I could give zero stars I would, place is a joke... $20 cover for awful bartenders and awful music. Not to mention the terrible security who will do absolutely nothing for you, besides maybe just stand there and blankly stare at you.. i would recommend going somewhere else read more

I went to the club on Saturday, October 19th, 2019. I did end up getting bottle service and my check # was 6211. Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience at your club and will not be recommending it to others. I did not have a reservation for the bottle service prior to my arrival but your server Mikhayla made my group sit at a table then Eric came along and kicked my group out VERY RUDELY and told me I can't sit there because I don't have a reservation. Anyhow, we moved tables and ordered a bottle. Eric ruined my entire experience at the club! He was very rude and does not know how to treat customers. I expect to be treated with treated if I am spending over $350+ (bottle + entry fees) at your club. Mikhayla was okay, although we had to tell her everything twice before she got us the coke, water, etc. We later got another server and her name was Jessica. Jessica was amazing!!! A + to her! You need more amazing servers like her. She was very respectful towards my group and set a very example of customer service.  I would appreciate if you can teach Eric a thing or two about customer service. Just because he had a bad experience with another group, doesn't give him the right to treat another paying customer the same way. You can't expect to be treated with respect if you treat your customer like shit!  Anyhow, I will not recommend this place to anyone because of Eric. Maybe you should keep him in the back! read more

I dont get why don't they play hip hop reggae music.. they only play stupid techno music

We were looking for a fun place in the Niagara Falls Area and this place was perfect. It was right next to the casino so it was in a great location. We played some black jack for the early parts of the night and then we headed over there. I read some of the other reviews before heading there and some people suggested getting there before 11:30 pm so we decided to go there at 10:30 pm. We didn't wait in line and we paid a $20 cover charge. Coat check was $3. It wasn't crowded at all but then around 12 people started coming in. By around 12:30 the place was packed. The music was good and the lasers/lights were a fun addition to it. The lasers/lights covers all of the dance floor and is in synch with the music. The lights made me just want to dance more, I thought it was pretty cool haha. The good thing was that everyone was just having a blast and dancing! The crowd all seemed like they were just trying to let loose. Some more than others haha - this one guy who was probably drunk out of his mind was dancing with his shirt off. Overall I think it's a good night club to go to if you're out in the Niagara Falls area. The location is perfect and you'll definitely dance your butt off. read more

This nightclub was right next to the hotel we were staying at, so we decided to give it a shot. The drinks were expensive, which is to be expected. The only negative experience we had was with the security guard in the bathroom. He was extremely rude and refused to let us exit the bathroom without giving him a tip. Other than that it was enjoyable, I recommend getting there around 11-11:30. read more
