i'm new to the Charlotte area and I googled upscale lounges to visit my first experience here I…read morequickly realize it is not a upscale establishment from sitting at the bar and watching someone bust down a cigar fill it with weed and smoke a blunt in the club, which I have nothing against anybody, who smoke however I don't expect this at a upscale establishment had I known this I would've wore something like jeans and a T-shirt however I dress up because I thought it was an upscale establishment. I am very popular back in my hometown maybe not for all good reasons. I come off as a whistleblower but one thing you will never call me as a liar and this last time I went to this establishment the DJ tried to throw shots at me as I'm walking through, which didn't really bother me as much because I don't even know who he is which I feel like it's kind of lame and childish and he's probably broke so I get it if I intimidated him in anyway I don't apologize about that however it's more than just about money cause that just says a lot about his character not mine so if you are a out of town and you're looking for a nice dining lounge experience, this is not the place to go. This is more for local if I had to guess I would say drug users so if you're not into that lifestyle, I don't recommend it. and although the food was good, I will never return back because of the disrespect from the DJ, which was unnecessary and very childish to say the least. hope this helps someone looking for a nice established lounge to visit. This is not it.

I have been coming to this spot since way back when when it was known as La Torres. Great club if…read moreyou are looking for Latin night. DJ plays a great variety from reggaeton, bachata, merengue, salsa etc. They have a coat check that starts at 11pm for $5. They have two floors. One smaller one closer to the entrance and then the big man one towards the center of the floor. They have VIP seating around the club and even stairs that lead up to a VIP section. They have an outside patio but was closed due to it being cold but you are still allowed to go outside and sit at your own discretion. Such a nostalgic place for me. It is more of a younger crowd here just an FYI.

I asked her for the rest of my things and she pulled it out from her drawer under the sink and kept saying sorry bc she was caught. she still stole my birthday envelope which had cash in it. update: we did not get kicked out, we were not throwing up everywhere, if this lady was trying to help us then why would she keep apologizing and pull my wallet out of her pocket? the wallet was in the purse and closed. Before this even happened the lady kept urging us to tip and bc we felt bad we did, then this whole situation happened

If there were minus stars, I would rate it like that. Went last night. I was told by Tommy in…read moreO'Henry's that the DJ there would be playing dance music and the dj would start at 10. We waited till 10:30 and he finally started the "music".Total rap with the f word over and over and nearly naked girls pole dancing and twerking. I asked the guy at the door if that was all the DJ was going to play and he said, quite proudly, "YEAH", with a grin on his face, like he was really proud. The bartender, Rene', was a sweetheart. What a waste of $28. $14 for 2 drinks and the cover charge. We stayed 30 mins hoping to hear something music that wasn't blaring and filthy.Do NOT waste your money.Do NOT go there.. .

It's clean and the mood is perfect for dancing well lite but not overly bright. They also have 2 stripper poles for anybody to dance on which I've had allot of fun on. This is a gay bar so if your closed minded or that makes you uncomfortable you should probably just go some where else. They also have pool tables darts in the front of the club. Recommended by a local!

We always have a good time dancing here (mainly Saturday nights). There is group of local DJs that…read morehave EDM events here sometimes and theses you can't miss! The drinks are good and priced consistent with Winston-Salem. The inside is rather small but there is a patio/lounge area with a firepit. Most times I have been it was free to get in but when they have special DJ nights, entrance is usually $10. Glad there is somewhere to go downtown to dance to non-country music! you have to walk into the dance area to get to the restroom (just like Joyners) but the inside has a dark vibe with some tables that light up and the alcohol wall at the bar is a masterpiece. There are seats behind the DJ table and I'm not sure why that area isn't used; the whole building can probably hold 60 people dancing at the same time. But all-in-all, it's a lively place, and yes, it gets happening after midnight, as to be expected when there is a DJ in the house. Just walk to Euphoria after you see a show at Ramkat or Wise Man and dance till dawn! (not really but at least 2am)

As an LGBTQIA+ individual, the sensation and anguish of being unwelcome in various places is not foreign sadly, just unfortunate it had to happen so discriminately in (or rather outside) an LGBTQIA+ establishment.

Definitely would not recommend attending a show here. Getting through security was more adventurous…read morethan getting through TSA at the airport. We saw them take a Sharpie from someone. The guy even explained that he wanted to meet the band after and have them sign his poster. Too bad. They sent various other people back to their cars for other minor things too. It did not make sense or make us feel any safer. It just made going to a show feel like a chore. Once we were inside we all wanted to grab a beer. This is definitely not the place to do that! They had about 5 beers to choose from all of which I would never ever drink nor would anyone else in our group which is saying a lot because we all have pretty diverse tastes. All of the beers were like $18, even the garbage beers. I expect that price as we pay $19/beer at the hockey games but the arena offers a great selection. I'll pay $19 for a good beer. I saved lots of money at The Underground since they don't have any beer worth drinking. The bartenders at the bar on the left were not friendly and not interested in answering any questions. We ventured to the bar on the right and a few of us ordered mixed drinks.

I didn't even see a handicapped seating area. Lighting is decent and one major positive was they had the a.c. cranked up high on the July evening we were there, when it was like 95 degrees outside. 2 major drawbacks...1. There's literally NOWHERE to park in the area for free. Th cheapest lot we found was around the corner and at the end of the street in a gravel lot and it was 12 bucks. Parking right at the venue is 40 bucks. 2. Drink and beer prices inside are way high. A shaker cup cocktail is 20 bucks and it's ALL ice. Refills are 17 bucks!!!! Another thjng I didn't like is that the box office is not attached to the venue and is up the street and they didn't take cash for tickets there. They also don't give you a paper ticket...they digitally text you a receipt and your tix too. Security has a walk through metal detector and they wand folks as well.
