Fun venue, but seems to be gaining a reputation for cellphone theft, as my daughter had hers stolen out of her bag last night, which was on her the entire evening. It gets jam packed in there because it's such a small venue and so you are getting bumped from all sides, which makes it a perfect pickpocket spot. Also, only 1 bartender means a very long wait for drinks. What a pity the theft spoiled the evening which had been fun up until then.

Disgusting floors, broken decor, and filth everywhere.

The bouncers have the IQs of a wooden plank.

After taking legal prescription medication, the bouncer decides to chuck our whole group out and threatened to bring their “Mafia” posse to be violent with my group. Laying a charge of intimidation at the nearest police station.

Event organisers should stay away.

Good music, friendly staff, a bit small but the vibes were good

Great place but your phone will probably be stolen. Not sure what the doorman’s job is.

Too busy
Getting drinks was shocking! I went for an event on a Friday and I waited an hour and a half just to get a coke !! ????
Service isn't good there
The euphoria event was a dud
Not going here again

Young crowd. Dope vibes ⚘ depends on your taste in music, but definitely fun. Bouncers are a bit strict with their 420 policy as in no tolerance which is kinda disappointing. However if you like a younger vibe and more HipHop vibes a good place to visit. ( Also depends on the event)
