ronni h.ronni haragos: My tip is to tip your bartender for excellent service. Also get a table if you can, much more fun to be able to move around while you dance instead of beyond stuck in the crowd.

Steve J.Steve Juarez: Rude security, not raver friendly, if you're wearing kandi you will be denied entry. Worst EDM club I've ever been to. My suggestion: try Somewhere Loud.

Andrew W.Andrew Whitworth: good wine + cheese selection
