I arrived with a group of over 30 year old women and it was immediately obvious that our demographic was not the desired group. We were told we could sit at a booth--it was only 10:30. Then a different security guy told us we could not sit there and directed us to another. Then he came to the second booth and said that since I was "rude to him" we needed to "get out of his booth and sit in the back of the club with the non paying customers or he'd make us leave altogether, physically if he needed to." He stated he did not care about us being told it was alright to sit there. Ridiculous. When we asked several security members for the manager and the bartender for the manager or his name, no one seemed to know who it was or his phone number. One of my friend went outside to ask the security man there for the manager, and he physically shoved her back and told her she wasn't allowed back into the club. Customer service doesn't seem to exist here, and the security members know they are treating people wrong or would not refuse to contact the manager when requested. My friends and I are professional and intelligent and now offended, and will find every blog possible to inform the public of the rude treatment at this establishment.

Saturday night for gentleman was a bust. Cost me 15 for cover, the bouncer almost wouldn't let me in after waiting in line for an hour, because he didn't believe my ID was real. But was nice and finally let me in after 5 minutes of thinking about it. Drinks are roughly 10 for mixed and 4 for bottled beer, talk about ripping a person off, however my bartender was polite and fast also knew quite a few shines (or tricks with glasses while making drinks. The girls on stage were OK I guess, not ugly but I was expecting a little more, great outfits though. The guy to girl ratio was really bad, about 3 guys to each girl. And on top of that there about 60% Asian, 15% African American, 15% Hispanic, and 10% caucasian. I think I counted 5 caucasian girls. The place was packed. There is lounge seating but the music is so loud that you can't hear anybody anyways so forget about talking. And yes if you step outside for a cell phone or smoke, you get the priviledge of waiting in line once again. Bottom line find somewhere else to go.
Pros: bartenders
Cons: waiting in a long line for a let down.
