Place is bad news. Dangerous at times. Used to be a fun spot but not anymore.

??Be careful if you go here. People have been getting sick.

SLEAZY PLACE THAT OVERCHARGES. They tried to charge me $9 more than what I should have paid -- They tried to add an extra 0 to the tip I left on my card. Typical of an overpriced bar trying to take advantage of people drinking who might not remember what they purchased.Vibe was weird... DJ was subpar and didn't really play anything good. It was dirty and people barely danced. Definitely not worth paying cover for. Card minimum is $10, which is probably their attempt to make up the difference since most drinks seem to range from$6-8. Buy with a friend. Closing was incredibly abrupt and they kicked everyone out a solid 15 minutes before they actually closed.Between all that and their attempt to overcharge me, we definitely won't be back.

great place with a great staff

Service is subpar, definitely lower class than the previous “Vanity” atmosphere. Bouncers are terrible… harass you at the front door. Was kicked out for simply watching my friends girlfriend by the bathroom. Will never visit again.

Very friendly staff, even the bouncer inside was very friendly .Loved the atmosphere and it's my place during summer and fall.

Terrible place. The staff are rude, bartenders water down the drinks, and the environment is mediocre at best. Why wait over an hour in line to get in when you could go have more fun literally anywhere else? Disgusting bar, will never return, and you shouldn't either.

It’s a beautiful place , all the staff there are so nice and friendly .

Bartender Dan is great , will be back again on Thursdays.

Tried this spot in the past with my friend and I am addicted since then. I liked the excellent ambience and delicious food and drinks. Keep up the good work.
