If I could give this place a zero I would. My daughter went there with her sister and on way to restroom and leaving the nightclub they had an off duty drunk employee bump into them. Words was exchanged something in the lines of a sarcastic excuse you. Whereas a male bouncer saw the interaction and says ok it’s time for you to go which was no issue as they were leaving anyways. Sounds fair right? Their drunk employee bumps into them and somehow a paying customer gets kicked out. Within a matter of steps a female butch bouncer with dreads pounced on my daughter and started dragging her out by her hair. Literally ripping her hair out dragging her out of the nightclub. We messaged them and we were assured they would”look into it” what a joke! The violent bouncer still works there so be careful she is dangerous and the business does not care they have bouncers that will assault their patrons. My daughter has several painful medical conditions and this bouncer caused so much pain to my daughter for absolutely no reason. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND BEYOND DISAPPOINTING that any business cares so little for their customer. Beware the bouncer with dreads she is dangerous and is completely out of control. We will add the videos of her assault from this bouncer as soon as we can.
This is probably my favorite club ON A FRIDAY to go to in mpls. The service here is HORRIBLE regarding buying a booth and bottles. I got a booth for my birthday in Nov and we arrived around 1130pm and received the bottles for the booth at 1:15am.... the club closes at 2??? i was PISSSSSED!!!!!! OTHER THAN GETTING A TABLE........... going as a normal civilian is decent. theres a number you can text to get in for free before 11. If you come late expect to wait in a line and possibly it being at capacity. and from 10 to 11 they have 2-4-1's so thats nice as well. On fridays they do RNB night and its probably the best selection of music. Its not just RNB on fridays but they promote it to be but they definitely play rap.
Great atmosphere!
I came for the New Years Day dance party "Black Mass". This place was AMAZING! Everyone was so friendly...the door guy, the security, the coat check, the bartenders.....all of them where friendly and kind. I'm so impressed by that. The venue itself was also great....all the cozy couches! The bathrooms where dirty....but I guess what do you expect from a 16 hour dance party?
Didn't try any food but there is a decent selection of alcohol, sound system isn't great and they either play music that isn't really suited for any kind of dancing or the base and reverb cover up anything that is, making it impossible to distinguish. Service is subpar and the bouncers are pleasant when you don't have to deal with them but when you do they are complete unreasonable tyrants. I got tossed out with no explanation and they wouldn't let me grab my jacket, and apparently they aren't open for another week.
Seen a dubstep show here and the sound system this place has can really bring it. The bass was insane, yet still had some pretty great acoustics for a small club. Staff seemed friendly too.
The chasers were so watered down it tasted like water. Took forever to get bottles brought out. Asked twice about ordering food and got nowhere
The place was really fun overall!! However we rented a private booth and as we were dancing my friends boyfriend threw $300+ at us - our server Gwen or Quinn (I don’t remember her name she never told us) just came and took it without saying anything. It was not hers , and we also gave her a really big tip (ontop of spending over $1k ) It was kind of tacky of her to not even ask , but assume it was her. I would probably recommend a different server.
Maybe turn the lights up a bit at night. It was too dark and couldn’t see anything but other than that the club is great. I will return soon with friends again.
