I visited this club on a Sunday despite being advised that Saturday's are the best days to go. There were a little over 50 people at 12:30am when I walked in. Not many people on the dance floor, but plenty of seating. The music was actually pretty good for a Sunday - a mixture of cumbia's, reggaeton, merengue, and even some Latin rock. We interacted with the bouncer, a bartender, and a cocktail waitress. Both the bartender and bouncer were friendly, but the waitress wasn't too welcoming. Despite my rating, I would go back to check out what the Saturday hype is all about! read more

The music was very good. I went on a friday back in March. They charged $20 to park. I would try to park elsewhere next time. They take cash only for drinks. read more

Outdated club. The drinks are changed to cheap liquor. I wouldn't recommend this club.

This place is terrible! Their drink prices are high. And although they claim you can use a credit card I was told conflicting information when I was here. The first bartender took my card no problem. The second one wouldn't so I had to take cash out and pay a $5 fee, even through my friend called and asked before hand to confirm we would be able to use our card. The next guy (bartender) told us that they could take our card if we opened a tab. I was very annoyed as I had already taken cash out. This place is terrible! Parking is $10 cash only. Don't come here. The music is lame and weren't it not for my friends need to want to dance I wouldn't have stepped foot here. read more

Metropolis & Extravaganza - Dance Clubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been here so many times already but recently they've started to "not let people wearing sandals inside" which is a bunch of bullshit they pick and chose who to let in we were about to leave but came back and they LET US IN so again BULLSHIT not coming back for a while because monkey pox read more

In town for the holidays and we wanted to go to a club on a Sunday night... well this place did not disappoint!!! Not sure why all the bad reviews honestly because I had the time of my life! Not sure if it was Latin night on Sundays or what but that's the only music they were playing!! It was four of us and we danced all night. We arrived around 11 and it was pretty empty but the vibe was still there.. had a couple of drinks and next thing you know around 12ish it was a decent amount of people there, and around 1 it was packed!!!! The drink prices were very reasonable. I'm used to the Vegas prices and so when the bartenders said about $30 for 4 drinks I was like WOW!!! Yes!!!! Also, no cover charge!! If you're in town or live here this place is definitely worth to explore!! I'm pretty sure it gets better on Friday or Saturdays!! read more

See all

This use to be the place to go, but now I see an overpriced nightclub -.- I rather go to a country club because beers are $3 -$4 max not $6 ! Also Cover is $6 at the country club not $10-$15! I love Latin music but I would save money having a party at my place instead. read more

I haven't been hear since college. Customer service and staff is great. I will definitely be back. Thank you!!!

Music was not it you can get in 18+ AND THEY SHOULD STATE THEY HAVE A STRICT SHOE POLICY IN THEIR SOCIAL OR WEBSITE the place "manager " was not a bit nice when I was wearing sandals but did let other girls wearing same type of sandal go in. read more

This was a party when we were looking for a party. Very crowded and great music; we came in our formals after a wedding and actually felt comfortable amongst the young club-goers. We had stopped two other places (one was closed, one had weird parking). read more

Wife and I went on a Saturday. It was packed not to bad. Found parking fast for $12. Entering was $20 not sure for both or girls was free. Had two rooms. One side Spanish other booty shacking. Kind of the same. Bucket of corona $36. ;(. Over all we had a blast. Alil ghetto but still be down to go again. read more

Friday and Saturday nights are fun ! 2 dance floors , cheap drinks and clean restrooms. They also have a VIP section. Latin and mixed music , perfect for groups of people between 18-30 yr olds. Ladies night on Friday and $10 to get in on Saturdays. Safe parking but always gets packed. read more

While in TX i visited Metropolis because i just wanted some Spanish dancing in my life, so i came across this discotheque. Good music, the place is a bit run down and the drinks are cheap, only problem for me was the "cash only" deal. I don't carry cash EVER and it becomes an inconvenience, specially when having to pay the atm fees. Besides that i would go back but with more cash on hand. read more

I went there on a SATURDAY. I'd recommend looking carefully at what day of the week you are going before you follow advice given by these reviews. I got invited by some new friends to go there. I remembered driving by this place in the past. Not the nicest of areas. And I've never been to a discotheque in Houston before. The people inviting us are very nice and reasonable people so I decided to read some yelp reviews. Overall I got nervous again, but I noticed that many yelpers say that there are PLENTY of Houston police department members working. So my odds of survival seemed to go up. What I learned later is that there are many security officers that wear the type of uniform that make them look like cops. We paid $5 to self-park. And then we paid a $10 cover. I noticed there is a $15 cover for those who are not 21. That's usually kind of a red flag. The only other 18 and up "club" I have been to recently is Stereo Live and that was for a concert. Also upon entering I was tapped on the shoulder because I forgot to get frisked. I definitely got a really solid pat-down, groin area included, by the guy who I thought was a cop (but later realized was security). I had like two iphones in my pocket keys and all kind of things and I'm surprised he didn't ask me to empty my pockets. But I guess their job is to just pat you down and they don't have problems with people smuggling in secret spy weapons. Also they don't pat down women or ask them to open up purses, and I'm ok with that. It's just presentation. The night was really fun. The place is very nice! The people inside were not "uncivilized" as other reviews might suggest. If you judge the place by the inside, you'd have no idea you are on Richmond and Fondren! Their are two areas: A salsa area (very big and crowded) and a modern area that plays club music. I guess the "modern" area is called EXTRAVANGZA and your cover is actually getting you inside two establishments. I found it really weird that they only take cash at all of their bars! Again, it looks like a really nice place inside so I figured there would be credit card machines. Also I went to the smoking area/patio once... and it was kind of intimidating... same with the bathroom. Someone cut me in line and I didn't really want to complain. So maybe there are some jerks there... but I think it's NOTHING as bad as what you come across anywhere else.. people are so much more civilized here than Washington and Rice Village. Also I should say this now: There were definitely a lot of DANCE CREWS. This is something I've noticed a lot and a sign that your club might be about to go out of business. Teams of like 5 guys dressed in special outfits that take turns doing solo dances on the dance floor... occasionally you get some good dancers who do like headspins... but usually it's just a bunch of crazy feet stuff and NO ONE EVER LIKES IT except for the people in the crew. Sure people will watch for a few seconds but NO ONE APPRECIATES it. I noticed a dance crew having their little dance offs (no opponents unfortunately so no one to GET SERVED) and the DJ would give them "y'all need to make some room and cut that stuff out" speech and discourage it. I like the clubbish room since it's really modern and it has these stages which remind me of like little Mixed Martial Arts octogons or WWE rings. It looked really nice actually. Again not sure why they don't have credit card machines. The worst thing about the place is they charge a $10 cover and $5 parking yet everything is priced the same as Washington and any nice place you go to. And again, CASH ONLY in this giant place. read more

STAY AWAY!!! UNLESS YOU LIKE GUETTHO!! It was $10 to park my car. Mostly black people. The layout was great, the music too. It is the people people in there that was the problem. Girls walking around with what they call shorts but what I call UNDERWEAR! hey butt were very visible...and big part of it was visible. Girls dancing around with bras(I mean I know where the strip clubs are if I want to see naked women), guys smelling weed or some type of drugs. I love tattoos and I have nothing against people that smoke but the people in there were just looking trashy. Som were cute though...but definitely not worth going. You have been warned. read more

This place used to be the place to go for some latin dancing around a decent crowd. I just went there last week and here is what I found. You will have to pay for parking $5, but still. You go in and there is a cover charge after 10 or 11 depending on the night. $15 if you're 18+ , $10 for 21+. You do get frisked for weapons (guys) which I found odd until we went inside. The place itself is a little dirty and has an awkward subtle smell. The people are definitely on the ghetto side, bit hey it's Richmond. The ladies room is not clean so just be aware. I gave this place 3 stars for the music alone. In the large room you will dance to bachata, merengue, salsa, etc the DJ played a good mix of current and classic. In the small room I felt as if the early 2000's was alive again. With a mix of hip hop, current and not so current, I danced my butt off in this dance floor/ stage area that is set a little awkwardly. Nevertheless fun is where you make it, if you want to dance this is a good place. read more

So I hear its going down at this spot every Thursday night from the infamous 97-9 Da Box. So I have been to this spot on several occasions the last few years. When I was younger I used to live at this place, and I see the atmosphere is still the same. Bunch a scrub guys, and hot I mean half-dressed girls, women, sluts, whatever!., The drink specials are shots that will have you wasted for $2 a pop. So I took advantage of the shots, had a blast danced the night away, I felt very safe inside with the strong presence of HPD. The downside of my night I got too wasted, caught a cab home, but misplaced my freaking MyTouch $400 smartphone. Thank God I left my IPad2 I just purchased for my bday 10/01. So after i cried, i cried i missed my pictures, my video, the access to my email will the crook manipulate and still my identity. So two days later I sober up, went out and brought a phone for half the price $200 I did not deserve such a great phone. Keep in mind I have had a total of four phones in my life, so I have never ever lost, or had a phone stolen. I would suggest people have a designated driver, respect the roadway for the sober people driving which are more likely to lose their life, than the drunks. read more

Highly recommend. Parking isn't free. Cash only. ATM inside. Great vibes and free shots if you're lucky.

It was so awesome!!! It's very loud to the point where you can hear the beat in your chest. Ladies YOU NEED HEELS OR SNEAKERS. NO SANDALS ALLOWED. I had no idea and I barely got in Bc I didn't have the right shoes. There are two rooms. Latino side and a more hip hop side. The drinks are pretty pricy, but overall a super fun time to have with your S/O or just a fun group of gals. I would recommend brining someone who speaks Spanish if you don't speak any. Parking is $10.00, if you're under 21 $15.00 and if you're over 21 $10.00. Make sure you bring CASH ONLY. They do not accept cards. But overall, it was super fun!! read more

Good place to party! If you love Latino music this is the place. Saturday is international day and the best day to party. Free before 10. read more

Metropolis & Extravaganza - Dance Clubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is rude and racist. They have a strict dress code depending on your race. I don't recommend this place, they made me pay although my friends could not attend. Subpar music horrible customer service. read more

I mean, it wasn't terrible, but I've had more fun. I think if they get some better music, the dance floor would have been much more popping. I was kind of bored by 11. We stayed because it was a friends birthday, but I don't know that I'll make it on my rounds. read more

Despite the bad things I heard from people, I actually like this club! It's a fun, upbeat Hispanic vibe! They play a lot of Latino music like reggaeton, bachata, and merengue etc. I came here on a Friday with some friends & I like it! They also serve hookah here as well. I'd come back read more

This place use to be the "place" to go. I'm not quite sure when that changed, but the last two expierences have not been pleasant. I'm sorry but if I'm out on the weekend and spending my money I want to have a good time. You have to pay for parking and they tell you where to park. I left once because they wanted me park my car closer to the car next to me. I told them no because I knew it wasn't enough space and my car would end up with a scratch that night. Second time I went with my sister and walked in about 10:06pm and we were told we had to pay. Apparently that was their night where it was free before 10pm, Alright cool. I paid and walked in to find the dance floor empty and maybe 4 couples in the whole place. We made ourselves comfortable at a table and ordered drinks. Well, let me fast forward to 10:50 pm when it's picking up now and people are starting to come in. We were coming out the restroom which is right in front of the entrance when my sister said hey look those two girls just walked in without paying. So I asked the girls hey did you just get here and did you pay? She said yes we just got here and no we didn't have to pay. At that point I'm like hold up so why did I pay walking in 5-6 mins after but you're 50 mins pass the free admission time but get to walk in for Free? My sister was going to say something to the lady at the front charging and security that stands right there, but I told her to let it go. If I'm going to be treated differently for whatever reason, I rather not go to Metropolis. I try and make excuses for people but that's not cool. read more

Metropolis & Extravaganza - Dance Clubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

This club is boring. DJ kept going in cycles of reggaetón, merengue, and bachata. And some of the songs were old ( I was expecting to hear some more recent music). This club is mostly full of people in their late 20's - 40's. I wouldn't NOT recommend if you're younger. I went to this club w my cousin and we had our hands marked bc were 18 and some of the men were WAY older and were being creepy. read more

A review of Thursday Night. Young crowd, so baggy this and baggy that, you can basically wear anything. They have really cheap but strong drink specials. A lot of eyecandy ;-). But remember this place is hood so expect, there to be a strong police presence, to see drama, and someone in or getting put in handcuffs. read more

Very fun! It was my first time coming here and I came pretty early. I came around 9 & the place was empty, but once it hit 11 the place got packed & it was fun. The overall environment was great & the music was too. I recommend this place to everyone! Some may complain about parking being $10 but my friend and I didn't have to pay to get in so it was a good deal. Anyways, if you come here you'll have fun & meet great people read more

It use to be great back in the days. Years ago maybe 10 to 15 years ago when extravaganza wasn't there. Place haven't change the bathrooms are dirty the place stink it seems they haven't change the carpet never ever! Is heart breaking to see the kind of crowd that comes now! GHETTO years ago it was the place to meet nice people. read more

Great music. Friendly staff. Great bartenders. Prices arent cheap but they're not expensive either. Very nice outgoing people and a good crowd. Overall very fun place. Will definitely go back. read more

A very good club in Houston, good music, specially latin music. Price are reasonable. Definitely a must go

I don't understand how people say that Metropolis is ghetto in every club in Houston there are mostly women dressed vulgar I consider that ghetto. (lack of confidence) You don't have to show so much skin to feel and look sexy! and not just referring to this club but for all men/women if you're just going to stand/sit at a club all night might as well stay home...Metropolis is a great place to dance to latin music tropical tunes (e.g. salsa, merengue, bachata, occasionally rock and techno) This is just my review and this place is not bad in my opinion you have to check it out for yourself everyone has their own judgement I come here to dance beautiful music from my country I want this club to go back to 21 and up! Chao read more

Free before 10pm, parking is $10. Drinks are very pricey I only had a margarita and a water and it was $14 lol. The club it's self is fun, the music is amazing and honestly if you go with the right people you will have a blast. The one thing I do hate about this club is that they make you park so close to the other cars, it's almost impossible to not hit the car next to you when you open the door. read more

I found this club online so I went to check it out on a sunday night with only about 15 cars outside in about 300 spaces paeking spot but yet they wanted to force me to parking in their designated valet area so i can pay $20 so I went to park elsewhere they wouldnt let me in for not parking with them. Bad business management if you ask me and I know a thing or two about business. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CLUB especially when there is about 4 others within 2 miles radius. read more

All the staff were friendly. We got there before 10 on a Sat so we got in free, guys and girls which was nice since most places only let ladies in free. Paid $5 to park in their lot but be mindful of what time you want to leave because they might park you in. Luckily we left a little early (about 1ish) right before another car blocked us in. The music was authentic Latin music and the crowd was 99% Latin. At first it was kind of empty but it filled to at about 11ish. Everyone was dancing and having a good time. It was a nice vibe and I didn't feel like people expected anyone to be professional dancers or stared at anyone. I had more fun than I did at Vegas clubs because it wasn't hot and sweaty and crowded but there was enough of a crowd to dance and have a nice time. I was also pleasantly surprised that they had two clubs. When we got tired of one music selection we went to the other side that was a little more urban and younger. Wasn't upscale but wasn't too ghetto or sketchy in my opinion. I'd go again :) read more

Horrible customer service, when you arrive and indio want to sale a valet parking for $10 in front to the night club for u expend ur money in the same night club lol is stupid, other thing do not accept credit cards only cash lol who in the 21 century dont have a cc machine and why?? Is very suspected, IRS need to do an auditory this place read more

First of all, this club is next to a Taco Cabana, which is on the corner of Fondren/Richmond. I am disappointed in this place. I went on a Saturday and to my dismay, was charged $5 to park in the club's own parking spaces! Ok, $5 is cheap, but no other clubs that I know of in Houston charge for parking. I would think that overflow parking might have a charge, but come on now, its own parking? No 1st come, 1st serve? Then to top it off, the bar only takes CASH. When does a club only take cash? IRS needs to do some investigating. read more
