Real bands ! Real dancing!
Paloma R.

We had lots of fun dancing with La Sonora Dinamita, the drinks are not over priced, we were able to reserved a table and outside we bought some Deliciosos tacos ! My fiancé is American and I am Latina, the place is 95% Latinos but if you are American And want to experience a real Latino club this is your club ' come and sweat the beer out dancing !

Majority of the customers were Mexicans. Like 99% of them,,, The place was huge, beautiful with florescent mural and bunch of large flat screen TV's. Attractive servers, however some of them couldn't speak English.. It's a Mexican night club more than a restaurant.. I paid $10 cover charge around 11:30PM on Thursday night, place was packed! Lots of beautiful ladies!! Classy joint. I felt safe in there ~ :)

12:39am on Friday night- DJ playing

Fun for your banda mix. The guys are helpful and the waitresses are nice. A great find in Kent- however DJ does make awful transitions. Helpful hint, wait 4 seconds to make sure the song doesn't change lol

Loved this club. Yes, that's past tense…read more I just received word today that the doors are closed permanently. I'm not sure what to say, as there has been vacillating for some time on whether or not the club stays open. Part of me hopes it's not true, because it's really sh1tty to have to say goodbye to a wonderful pillar I've been visiting loyally and nearly every weekend (sometimes twice!) since its opening. I have a feeling this time it's really shutting its doors, though. That's truly a pity. It really is (was?) a very cool setup, and Tacoma was sorely lacking a legitimate dance club. The owner saw that, and damn, he tried. The *only* thing that bummed me out about the club was that patrons weren't really interested in it as a dance club at all, only as a karaoke bar. Those are a dime a dozen! The club owner had big visions for Tacoma's first dance club, but everyone clamored for karaoke and dance nights were poorly attended. Bummer, since the place was designed for gettin' down, with a generous dance floor and several humongous, wall mounted flat-screen TVs upon which to display music videos, media, and - of course - classic footage of go-go dancers shakin' their groove thangs. *fans self* I will miss seeing a Hilltop dance club with Pride flags, a BLM flag, and other affirming decor. I will miss feeling safe, knowing that the owner stood by his word and did everything he could to make women feel safe there. If ever I told the owner someone was being creepy, he dealt with it swiftly and completely. None of this "well, we talked to him, and we think it'll be okay now, we're gonna let him stay unless something else happens" (which I often hear at other clubs) and expecting the women to deal with a creepster sticking around and us all feeling uneasy for the night. I will miss my little "church". Also, I am sad for a dear friend I made there who cannot drive due to a medical condition, and who had finally found a "home base" within walking distance of their apartment. This is a significant loss to many. Farewell, Go-Go.

I went for my bday and had one of the funnest nights ever! I brought a group of friends and we all…read morehad a great time. The owner and staff were super friendly.

My only complaint is the security guard. And one in particular. He's got medium length dark hair and always wears a hat. He's super annoying and always comes up to people and just makes the experience a little bit worse. Other than that, I love everything about the place especially the greater at the door. She's very friendly and helpful.

A few weeks ago, my friend and I arrived here at around 1:30AM, a particularly busy hour for this place, which I am aware of. But this time, my friend and I could not even get out of our car before being harassed by men. Through out the night, there was a possible total of 10 minutes where we were left alone. I understand this is not the fault of the club, but it did feel like there could be more protections for women put in place. Then, I went again this past weekend where I had a completely negative experience due to the staff. To enter, there is usually 2 lines, one short and one long. Since my friend and have been coming here for a while, we are usually recognized and allowed into the shorter line. This time, we entered the shorter line like usual which was manned by a bouncer I have met over 10 times but for some reason he never remembers me. He then is telling me I need to pay, by pay, I think he is meaning the entry fee which is usually a reasonable $20. I hand him my phone and he proceeds to venmo himself (personal account) $40 as a line cutting fee. A fee I have never once payed before. I totally understand there being an extra fee to skip the line. What made me upset was the fact I've never paid this before and I have been in that line at least 10 times. Additionally, I did not like that he took my phone from my hand and paid himself the money with out confirming any of the charges with me before. Lastly, it is likely this bouncer could tell that my friends and I had been drinking and he decided to take advantage of us instead of making sure we were clear on what was happening. Overall, I feel pretty taken advantage of and very upset considering I have given this place a lot of my money in the past. The events of this weekend just honestly left me with a sour taste in my mouth and so I felt like I had to say something.

Q Nightclub is a pretty typical nightclub that features floor to ceiling bathrooms split into two…read moresides (urinals, regular toilets), an upstairs section for what I assume is VIP, a downstairs VIP section, a few tables with barstools to sit at and a decent sized dance area. Something neat I noticed is a giant projector that had rules/guidelines for patrons, and one of them said that if anyone is bothering you to tell one of the guards. There is also someone stationed at the bathrooms directing traffic and making sure the hallways stay clear. I only came here for a special event and I am typically not interested in going to clubs, but it was a fairly good experience aside from the issue with the bartender. I had a great time on the dance floor and most people were friendly. I would rate it a 4/5 if not for her. (Price Range): $50+ (Music): Not bad. The music was in the EDM-Electronic realm, featuring remixes of classic songs. I can't say if this was the regular music because I only came here for an event, so they could've been catering to that specific crowd. (Location): The location seemed decent. There is a parking lot very close to the establishment, but I didn't pay so I don't know if the prices are reasonable. (Drinks): The drink I was given was not good and seemed more ice than anything. However, my friend chose the drink, so it could've just been a drink choice that didn't mesh well with me. (Service): Security was fine, no issues with them. The older female bartender (late 30s to 40s) with straight blondish hair was awful. My friend ordered our drinks and I paid for them. When I got the bill I was surprised because I was charged $20+ for each drink. I do not regularly go out, but I had just gone to another club the night before and the drinks were nowhere near that, so of course I was surprised. These were literally THE most expensive drinks I've ever had in my life, and the fact that dozens of reviews say the same thing should say something. If the value were there it would be worth it, but it isn't. As I'm showing my friend the receipt in a "girl, do you see this?" fashion the bartender starts getting nasty, thrashing her hands in our direction and telling a male patron that "she doesn't know what that is and that she doesn't speak that language". I never spoke to her, nor did we even make eye contact, I was speaking to my friend. So there was no need for her to act like that or even look my way. Furthermore, she became more irate at the tip I left her, which I left because of her poor attitude and the clear price gouging for the drinks. Most would've left her $0. I wasn't given a receipt which was odd, but now I know why. My card was charged for more than what I left her. So I suggest paying cash or to use a card designed only for going out if you do so.

I had the opportunity to speak with Mike on social media who was helpful in answering all my many questions. He later connected me with one of their VIP managers, John, who was quick to reach out and call to ensure we were on the same page and on point for the day of the event. He made some useful recommendations as to where I should have my tables and accommodated all of my guests upon entry. During the day of my event, David, who was one of the VIP hosts was so generous to connect with me and allowed me to be first to enter the main floor upon opening. David and my servers, Natalie and Blossom were so respectful and kind - they truly helped make my special celebration a memorable one. I'm so happy to see the successes and growth of Vue since they've opened in 2018. Their security team was also very kind! Steve who has been there for years, I believe, introduced himself to me and then there was another sir who saw that I was standing on a stool to record an performance and he later came by to carefully help me down without ask. Vue brings to life an artistic concept for nightlife that is inclusive of all communities. Their 4 different rooms and main floor creates space for every kind of guest. Whether you are looking to be near the crowd or to break away in the back, they have tables you can book to fit your very need. I appreciated their various table packages as it is inclusive of minimums and gratuity with tax later being added on at the end of the night. They make the booking experience very easy. I will say they tend to have a later start where it peaks around 11:30p. Other than that, I highlight recommend Vue Lounge - their team is a great example of what it means to treat their guests with respect so that everyone has a fun time.

The entertainment is plenty. Darts... pool... dancing... pull-tabs,... TVs galore. Though, if you're under 21.... don't expect to get in. They'll likely be carding outside the door. (And if you're underage and trying to get into a bar.... dude... come on. Make better life-decisions.)
