Don’t expect great service when they have a private party. The lounge is nice and could be great but the people running it can’t handle it.
The Dj’s downstairs were horrible. 3 women behind the bar but only one which was running around was bartending. The owner wife decides to make my transaction after the bartender finally helps but walked passed me 3 times before I received help. Owner wife also loud cursing at the dj.
Drinks lol expensive please drink before you get here. It’s a legal robbery. They use to have dancers here but looks like that’s over. If they happen to show up know that they are not too friendly and you have to approach them. A lot also have favorites they will stay around them even when money in flowing elsewhere.
This place is the definition of bougie ghetto.
Strike 1: it's currently 1am on a Tuesday morning and they're absolutely blasting music to everybody within a 4 block radius. It's like this place has anti-soundproof walls. If their goal is to give everybody in the hood Havana Syndrome, it's working.
Strike 2: it's not even good music! You could get way better dance music at Crybaby, Somar, any other bar on Telegraph, Liege, the taco truck on Webster, any random house party, and the tent of that one guy who hangs out at 13th and Franklin.
Strike 3: Somehow they made the worst possible idea of building this new club (I'm counting it as new) in Chinatown. It's across the street from EBMUD. Barhopping doesn't exist here. Telegraph exists. Want drinks by Chinatown? Fort Green and Mad Oak are way better and won't cause your ears to bleed from DJ Mediocrity.
Update: I was able to get the money back after swift action from the owners. They let me know they do not condone this behavior. Thank you for protecting your customers!!!
Original review below*
The bouncer outside (with a beanie and beard) scammed me for $20!! He initially told me it was $40 to get in. He then told me to send him $20 on cashapp so I did, thinking this was the cover. Then, I went inside and the lady at the front told me he shouldn't be charging me anything. He saw and came up to us saying that the charge wasn't him and he didn't ask for any money, and tried to start a fight to aggravate me. What a liar. I'm now trying to get a refund for the $20.. he should have been fired on the spot. I wonder how many others he did this to.
The name on the cashapp is MJ Butler $eyeslowbro. Beware of this security guard, he's just trying to hustle people he think he can prey on without realizing they will hold him accountable and take him to claims court if he refuses to refund.
