Bembe is one of those places. If you know, you know -- and…read moreif you don't, you should fix that immediately. Tuesday nights? Reggaeton goes crazy. The room is moving, the energy is right, and it feels like a real party instead of a playlist on shuffle. Friday nights with the live drums? Different level. That's when Bembe really shows its roots. The drums add this raw, authentic feel that turns the whole night into an experience instead of just a bar stop. Now let's talk drinks -- because this one deserves its own moment: The tequila with the lime dipped in coffee grounds is surprisingly delicious. I wasn't expecting it to work... but it absolutely does. Must-drink. Non-negotiable. This is a place to dance, drink, sweat a little, and leave feeling like you actually went somewhere. Bathroom Review (2 out of 4) Safety - Bouncer presence helps a lot. You feel secure moving back there. Accessibility - Easy enough to get to, no maze or weird hallway journey. Space - Bathrooms are small and tucked way in the back. Gets cramped fast. Privacy - Sinks are outside the bathrooms, which kills the privacy a bit when it's packed.

Delaceiba cookin' up the dope vibes!…read more Came out to see the DJ, Delaceiba, and he did not disappoint! The energies he provided kept the party MOVIN'. I loved that there were congas by the ready for a quick jam sesh! My only gripe was the drinks. My first drink was an "old fashioned" and it had a bunch of raw coarse sugar at the bottom. It actually looked like a Long Island iced tea, so I'm not sure what it was. It was a bit loud, so maybe they misunderstood my order. My second drink seemed accurate, and was just fine. Anyway, I'd definitely hit this spot up again, especially if Delaceiba is in the house. Much much love Bembe!

WORST PLACE EVER!!!…read more This place is extremely sexists and completely antiquated. They have some ridiculous rules that say only a man and a woman can dance together. I was dancing with my mother and I was told that I could not do that because two women can't dance together. I was told that if I were to dance with my mother again we would be kicked out of the place. I was there for my mothers birthday and they completely ruined it by being disrespectful and out of line. There is no place where they have these so called rules displayed. This is a public place where there is an entrance fee, people should be allowed to dance with whoever they please. If you are looking for a place to dance and have a good time THIS IS NOT IT!

They insisted on me checking in my very light and baby jacket for no reason, and it's a stupid policy because they ran out of hangers towards the end of the night and ppl had to be in that hot ass place with their full winter coats on. Anyways the music was great and the drinks were great! Wouldn't recommend having a birthday there though cuz my friend said they charged her for stuff that was supposed to be included and didn't give her stuff that was supposed to be included. The second time I was there it was pretty empty but still hot, idk how. The music was even better, the drinks were great and I had an amazing time. They still made me unnecessarily check in my very thin jacket. Third time I was there was wack. It was empty but still hot! My drink was weak. Music wasn't great. But no jacket check in that time so I guess one win !

I came and excited to have a really nice experience. As someone who's queer myself I was really…read moreexcited to finally check out this bar. I go in and the bar is packed, which is a great sign. However, ordering a drink, of course in a packed bar is really hard. I had my jacket over a chair and someone was sitting on it and I didn't make a big deal out of it. So I sat on the chair next to mine. Again, just trying to order a drink. The person who had their stuff on the chair comes back and instead of it being between me and this person it turns into two more people jumping in on me upset that I'm sitting on someone else's chair. The bartender then gets in on it, and he starts being rude and yelling at everybody, but more so me because he was friends with the other people. Then me and the guy are laughing and making up and talking. And he comes back and yells at us again. This time for no reason. Screaming out of the top of his lungs. Needless to say I never got to replace my drinks. And I never got to see if it was a good bar because I was being yelled at by the bartender and other people. Was in there for maybe 15-20 mins. Really awful experience and it was the bartender with short black hair. Hopefully he learns to actually be kinder. Definitely didn't feel like a safe space
