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 got to experience The Underground for the Leon Thomas MUTT tour. The staff, security, food and…read moredrinks were amazing. But really want to point out the staff and how attentive they were and how friendly they were. It was a cold night and they were efficient in getting everyone in safely and were knowledgeable when providing menu recommendations and setting expectations. The venue does provide a more intimate setting. There is more standing room than seating. So be aware of that when you book gen admission vs. any premium or VIP package that may be offered by the artist/venue.

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 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.

This club is an absolute DISASTER, and management/security is a total joke. I've been here 20+…read moretimes, and I've never seen it this bad. While we were there, a guy was harassing my female friend for about 5 minutes with no security anywhere. A random male had to step in just to stop it, and then the two guys started fighting. Security didn't do a single thing -- WE HAD TO TRACK THEM DOWN OURSELVES, and when we finally found one, she was just standing by the bathroom doing NOTHING. The short female security with a white stud was extremely rude, clearly didn't know the policies, and took my vape even though I'm 22, not even letting me take it to my car -- something that's never happened to me before. Meanwhile, right after, I saw a dude hitting his and another group smoking a blunt inside the club. They pick and choose who they enforce rules on -- personally, I've gotten free shots from the bartenders while other people get punished. Speaking of shots, they're overpriced and barely poured the correct amount of liquor. On top of that, there's tons of underage drinking, with underage girls getting into the club with zero issue, and I even heard rumors about human trafficking connected to this place -- completely insane. I used to be a regular and loved this place, but after this level of negligence, favoritism, and outright danger, I will never go back. Management needs to get their shit together immediately, because this place is unsafe, poorly run, and a total joke.

There is a VIP level of stairs surrounding the standing section but honestly every time we go we dance the whole time so there's no use in renting a booth to sit and the show is just so awesome' being surrounded by everyone that you know loves the music. They have a pretty awesome and inclusive bar menu everything from top shelf tequila to your usual Miller Lite, I think they have some THC drinks and some ready to drink can cocktails. Prices are on par for Charlotte. Parking is always issue so you'll probably have to walk a long ways or get an Uber. I'm really glad the owner of the trio in Charleston decided to open the spot in Charlotte. There's always plenty of restroom stalls in the women's restroom and it's always been clean when we've been there. The employees have been really respectable and nice each time we go even though I'm in the over 50 crowd, I don't feel judged when showing up at an EDM event to dance for four solid hours. Okay Mr #Iknowtheowner- please bring Armin Van Buuren!

They do offer coat check-in for $2, which I thought was amazing bc a lot of places don't have that, and you have to walk around with a jacket in your arms all night. There are basically two rooms. The main room had tropical vibes and music playing all night with a couple of VIP sections and a big bar to purchase drinks and the restrooms. Attached to this room is more of their covered patio room. This is where they played reggaeton all night. The bar was in the back, and most of the VIP tables took up most of the room, and it was IMPOSSIBLE to move once it got packed. It's a nice place, BUT it's super small! Like you can't move once you're shoved into one spot and dancing can become impossible. The women's restroom only has about 2 stalls, so even waiting for the restroom took about 30+ minutes. This place would definitely be much better if it were a bit bigger! I dont think I would go out of my way to come back here again BUT if I'm ever in the area I wouldn't mind stepping in as long as it's still early enough to get in free and skip the lines. Parking is trash also. There are no spots at all. Better to Uber/Lyft or have someone just drop you off.
