They don't have a designated parking garage, so to eliminate any hassle, I parked where I knew it was free downtown and popped into a Waymo for the last leg. There are multiple food and drink areas available. Prices are inflated, as expected for an event venue, but nothing out of the ordinary. Keep an eye on what you bring. My friend had a standard writing pen that security wouldn't let him bring inside! Overall, I'd definitely return. Smaller, cozy venues like this are right up my alley.

We were right up at the stage and during the opening act and main they actually had a beverage/bar cart come through at the security fence which I thought was pretty smart. Great sound, wonderful view from where we managed to stand, and good crowd.

Quite unsanitary and really unnecessary. Im a 51 year old 4"10 woman with my husband ( who they didn't even bother to check him) and hardly represented a threat. I had seen two girls before me go in with super baggy pants and no one asked them to empty their clearly full pockets. The bar is cute but clearly needing some updating. I had been here last year for Satsang and in the short time between it has seemed to deteriorate. The bartenders are overwhelmed and the only ones working are the men. My husband told me he tried several times to get the attention of one of the ladies and she turned her back to him. Also an experience I had with the ladies last time I was here. There was an incident where a girl slipped on water that was puddled on the floor and fell face first, knocking herself unconscious for a couple of minutes during the set for post crucifixion, and only my husband and I helped her, despite there being security there. I even tried once more to get the attention of a gal behind the bar with short black hair to get a towel to pick up the spill and she would not even turn to face me. I cleaned the spill myself by reaching over the bar and grabbing napkins, since the employees didn't seem to care. That will be the last time I attend this venue. I don't believe they care about their patrons and the staff is pretty rude.

It's a great, small intimate space to see an artist you know well or discover something new. Last time we were there was to see one of our favorites, Black Pistol Fire, this past spring. We love that band and have seen them perform many times, we were happy they played at crescent. They have such great energy during shows and the lead singer always gets into the crowd, last time he went over to the back bar and played guitar on it. Was pretty awesome! This recent time we went to see rapper Intuition from LA. He was opening for Wax & Dj Hoppa. They were new to me, but it was a great hip hop show. Generally the sound is good in the venue and they have a bar up front with some seating. Behind the curtain where the stage is, there's a bar back too. There are also bleachers but I usually don't sit on them, but they are there if needed. Cocktails are like regular bar prices, and good thing, they are quality drinks. I had the whiskey sour and old fashioned. Both were very good with quality spirits. At $16, they should be good and not some afterthought cocktail. They also have beers on tap for like $8. I'll definitely be back for another show at some point. Until then, cheers!

What an unexpectedly fun night!…read more I honestly had no idea what I was walking into when a friend told me I had to check out Bikini Lounge because they know I'm drawn to all things eclectic. They were absolutely right. From the moment the friendly bouncer smiled and said, "Step right on in," I was hooked. Yoooow!! The first DJ was incredible. He was spinning all kinds of trip-hop, indie, electronic, and remix-style tracks that had everybody partyin'. It wasn't your typical dance music, but every song seemed to connect with somebody in the room. The crowd was incredibly diverse, and it was so much fun watching people of every age and style dancing and nobody cared. The second DJ, a younger woman, shifted the vibe a bit and leaned more toward a younger crowd. It wasn't quite my style, so I took that opportunity to grab a seat at the bar and do what I apparently do best... chat with complete strangers. I'm a talker, and thankfully they seemed just as happy to strike up a conversation. This isn't some fancy cocktail lounge, and that's exactly the point. It's authentic. There were people dancing at the bar, grooving in their booths, bouncing in their seats, and filling the dance floor with great energy. I came by myself, and within minutes a cool group of strangers invited me to squeeze into their booth like we'd all come together. That's the kind of place this is. At one point they even offered me a glass of beer from their pitcher. I politely declined (look at me making responsible life choices... sometimes), but then I realized almost everyone had pitchers! So I sauntered over to the bar. I did have to wait a bit; apparently chivalry doesn't extend to letting a woman cut the line, but once I reached the bartender, the service was fast and friendly. Every trip back to the bar was the same. No complaints there. As the night went on, the energy just kept building. Before I knew it, I was on the dance floor sweating, smiling, and dancing with complete strangers. After a while, I had to retreat to the patio just to catch my breath before heading back in for more. My ankles are still sore... and the glutes? Fuhgetabouttit! The best part of the night wasn't the music or even the drinks. It was the people. Every generation was represented. Every fashion style imaginable. Every personality. And somehow it all worked. There was this genuine sense of joy and community that you just don't find everywhere. If you're looking for polished and upscale, this probably isn't your spot. But if you want great music, a welcoming crowd, zero pretension, and one of those nights where you leave happier than you arrived... give Bikini Lounge a shot. I went in not knowing what to expect. I left wondering why I'd waited so long to go.

They have varying policies on what you can bring like sealed water bottle, sometimes clear bag, small bag policy. When we saw Harris speak I couldn't have my tiny Fanny pack but they allowed it this time so make sure to double check. Really enjoy this place. Great acoustics and all seats seem great.

Although we were all dressed up for the 70s band, it was probably a mistake to visit in the summer heat. Entrance to the main performance area was delayed, so we were all forced to stay in the extremely humid, hot and wet open bar area for the longest time waiting 30 mins for the main area to open inside. In the open bar area our party was pummeled with industrial misters, which were a cross between cool and just soaking wet misters. Bar staff wete great at the start, then as the place got busy, ordering took a long time with no formal queues set up. Advice is to not leave a tab open at the open bar as the bar inside was a lot emptier and service was a lot quicker. Not many areas to sit at, what made things worse was the 1 largest table is reserved for the local medical college, who defended in hoards at 930 and inundated the bar making it very hard to order or close the tab. Water is a must, they have pots of water in the entrance but sell water at the bar, which was not cooled. Main stage area was massive, loud and luckily our group was able to get seats and the one table inside by the dance floor. Inside was drier, slightly cooler with no misters. A lot of folks were dressed in great 70s clothes which was clearly made uncomfortable with the amount of misterd in rhe open bar area. Although a short walk from the Marriott hotel, note that walk is unfortunately through a large homeless area. Valet parking was available, not published by the event. Wouldn't recommend walking back to the hotels just north at night. The band area was massive, 10 person band was excellent, but dance floor and stage was constantly being filmed, photographed by intrusive folks and if that wasnt bad enough, a sound guy with an ipad constantly moved through the dance floor, pushing you away to work on the sound, which was never perfected. Enjoyable venue, but wont be back in the summer.

Buy aside from that, we were a bit disappointed because the place wasn't what we expected. There's a fenced parking lot behind it- I entered it from the alleyway. It stated that there is a charge for events and to talk to security. There was nobody in sight. When security showed up, I flagged them down and they said they were going to lock the fence because they can't let anyone into the lot- it belongs to a school. They said they'd be back at 7pm to unlock for the event. I was allowed to wait in the parking lot for it to open back up at 7pm, meaning that I had no way to leave the lot. 10 minutes til, The Duce employees opened the fence on the other side of the lot. The person making the reservations, who arranged for us to park in this lot, was being blocked from entering the lot by "valet" because it wasn't 7pm yet and they wanted to charge everyone $20 to park. They had been told it would be free for everyone in our party but I guess that had changed. Since I parked before everyone else, it wasn't an issue for me. I ordered a strawberry limeade and some turkey sliders with Mac n cheese and green chili on top. I observed the bartender pick up the strawberries with his bare fingers, place them in my glass, and then use the muddle to blend them. I was a bit concerned about that. The sliders came out on very large toasted croissants. I am glad I didn't order 3 sliders. It was ok, it was more bland than expected. I could not taste the green chili or the Mac n cheese. What would really make it stand out is perhaps using a sharp cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack and getting spicier green chili. They came with coleslaw which tasted like it had cinnamon in it. I was here for a party where gifts were opened. We left them at the table while everyone mingled. I started noticing people that were not part of our group were beginning to approach the gifts, looking at where they were and stopping near them. I wouldn't leave any valuables out here even if you have a reservation. I used the online menu I scanned at the food booth. There was a very large variety of alcoholic drinks and they all looked very tasty. I wanted either the cranberry cobbler drink or the banana cream pie drink. Unfortunately, when I went to order these, they were not currently on the menu. I was limited to choosing from about 8 basic drinks. All food ran about in the $16 range, whether for a meal or snack.
