People were doing cocaine on the table next to use on the dance floor. We payed a $10 dollar cover and Weren't even in the for 30min! Will never come back!! read more

This place is on some bullshit. They seemed nice at first and they had good house music starting out. They were fine giving free cups of water with your drinks. At ten pm, another bartender claimed they were only selling bottles of water. Wow...what if I was already trashed and needed some water right away?! The worst part is they misadvertised the time on their Facebook page for the Crystal Waters concert. The page clearly claimed the concert started at 8 pm. It is 12:21am and I am still waiting for her to come out! Instead, I decided to write this review. Earlier, three employees misinformed me on the different times she was going to perform. I asked to speak to the owner so I can get a refund. When I found him, I informed him that strangers I met in the VIP section were talking about a chargeback. He asked what that was and then yelled at me about giving him a break. He continued to make excuses to why she is not present. She finally came on stage at 12:30 and played for about 18 minutes. We drove an hour to the place. Where is our break considering there was a huge flood warning? I will not be back. read more

STAY AWAY!!! This place is laughable at best. It's dirty. It's dark. It's overpriced. When you walk in, you feel like you're in a dungeon. Except you have to pay a cover fee. Haha So $10 for the Mister and I to get in, fine, whatever. Nothing on tap. Wait, what? Isn't this a bar?? Umm alright. Two Coronas. $14. What. The. Heck? I've paid less for alcohol in Vegas!! The bouncer gave me a funny look because my license is from California and asked me 3827261736 questions about why I left. Then again, everyone does. The music was hilarious. 90's rap to house music and then cumbia!! Make up your mind. Some drunk guy (kudos baller for having the cash to get drunk here) was harassing the bouncers girlfriend despite her running around like a floozie with her ladies on display. The night ended with the club closing early and us having tamales from the makeshift cart outside. It's the next day and I'm not sick, so that's a win in my book! read more

The club looks WAY better inside than you would think from it's outside face. Its pretty easy to find parking, and the bank across the street lets you park there. There are 2 bars, a pool table, darts, and a HUGE dance floor, along with plenty of nice seating. Thursday nights is a lesbian night, and it's always packed. I had so much fun dancing to the DJs music! there are even drag shows and burlesque nights. the bartender, brenda, in the bar near the dancefloor is HOT and shes really nice. If you're looking for a spot to hang out on the southside, this is definitely a GREAT option! read more

This place is clearly not for black people. Before my friends even got to the door they were telling us that they can't come in. These guys were just coming from a wedding, still with the dress clothes they wore. They just changed their dress shoes to vans. They were allowed entrance. A few guys came out with converses on they were allowed in. They were just being assholes. I have to add a star or I can't post the review. read more

Best time there!!! Would go again great music. Haven't been there and awhile but still a great place to have lots of fun!! read more

Everything went good up until they started playing the music I like. My dance partner and I got a little freaky/crazy on the dance floor. but that was no reasonable excuse for them to keep breaking us up. They left me no other choice, but to lash out at them. That's the reason why I say no to this place. I think this had to do because we were the only none straight/lesbian couple on their lesbian night. I don't know, but I'm not coming back here - NOT GREAT FOR DANCIN! It was lame. read more

I went her dancing with my girlfriend, nice variety of music, though at times the DJ did repeat songs? Mostly European crowd. Nice dance floor and plenty of tables and free street parking nearby. I will go back in the future for another fun night of dancing. read more

Went here for a friends birthday party. At the door was charged $20 at 930pm! Fine. I went in and found every other girl there was only charged $10. When I went back to the promoter, I think his name was Elliot, he was a major douche bag and would not charge me the correct amount. He said its because I didn't say I was there for a party but when I came in I told him all my friends were here and only paid $10. He told me it's 20 or nothing then said he would give me my $10 back at the end of the night- at the end of the night he was no where to be found. I don't understand how he would want to overcharge me and then have the nerve to be a jerk about it. Let me say this place is horrible. Couch smelled like pee. Old crowd, music was fun and old school house but that is about the only decent part. Will never go here again. read more

Gay night is when im there, always have a good time. But they really need to clean the place up, bathrooms are always dirty!

DO NOT USE ATM THERE***** Both myself and a friend used the ATM there. They charged me the fee twice and took the money out twice. The first time I used my card they declined me saying I entered the wrong pin. I thought I made a mistake and did it again and got my money. The next day I noticed it was taken out twice and they charged me the fee twice. Same thing happened to my friend. Now I have to go to the bank to get my 62.95 back and I plan on reporting this. read more

A very lovely place with a lot of space and everything that you need. Workers are super kind. There's a DJ and karaoke option which is super fun. The only problem is that there were not a lot of other patrons. It's was the Thursday before pride so I expected more. But a lovely place nonetheless. (Pool is 1$) read more

We decided to attend the Robin S. show on March 18th. We bought what we thought were tickets online. 2- 8 people booths for $128. When 9 of us arrived at Watra's, We were told that we would still have to pay $20 each for entrance fee....What??? No one was even there and they expected us to pay a total of $308 dollars for 9 of us to come into Watra???? After a lot of back and forth, they decided to be "nice" and only charge us $10 dollars a person. Then they wouldn't even seat us. It took them 30 minutes to find us seats. There was a guy who promoted this party named Tom. Everytime I would try to ask him about our seats, he kept avoiding me. Finally he told me he would "give" me two tables with 4 chairs each and buy us all our 1st drink. This was extremely disorganized and disappointing. Thank God not all of my 16 guests came. It would have been shameful. Never buy tickets online for any Watra party. Its a lie and a rip off. read more
