Safari Lux Lounge — Attraction in Charlotte

No no no no no. This is the first review I've ever given on here, but all my reviews have to have complete honesty when I write them. It is advertised on their site, as well as other places that on Saturdays they are open until 4am. I even tried to reserve seating in advanced based on researching this place and suggestion of their site due to crowding. Never got contacted back. We were going to celebrate my friend's birthday. We were not aware when going in that the entry is $30 EACH. Not only that, as soon as we bit the bullet and paid, the DJ announces the club was closing at 2:30am!!! Of course we go back to the woman up front for a refund, because we were not informed upon entry, and that's not what was advertised! Of course my friend was refused a refund. We bit the bullet and just proceeded in. I will say, the ambience IS NICE! But then we went to go get my friend a drink at least to calm her down. She wanted a red bull and vodka. When the bartender told me the price I was mentally tapped out and wanted to leave. $18?? Listen, I've been to many states and even lived oversees, that particular drink I've never had to pay that much for! Im used to paying high prices for drinks sometimes, but that was wild to me for THAT. Now, there was an automatic 18% gratuity with that. I'm not tripping about that because hey, at least the bartender is ensured a tip one way or another and they DESERVE TIPS. But after that drink we left. Wasted $50 bucks just to be in there for not even 15 min. I'll try this place again earlier at night next time to give a fair shot because I definitely want to go during food serving times. The menu looked tasty. But THIS experience was definitely complete...

My sister rented a section for her birthday. The owners allowed people to walk through our section even though we paid hundreds of dollars. We were moving and dodging people the whole entire night. We paid over $1000 so we can avoid that and have space and enjoy ourselves. We expressed to them we didn’t find that fair or okay. And they brushed us off plenty of times. We were getting shout out from the DJ because we are originally from CT and the dj knew the area we are from so he shouted us out all night. As he did for the owner. It was the owners bday as well I don’t think they liked we were getting a lot of attention. We were just having a good time with each other. One of the owners with long braids came in our section to just stand around trying to be funny and prove a point.. him and his friends were giving high fives and dapping each other for him coming to stand in our section that we paid for. I have NO idea why they were so petty and rude!! I came and supported a local business and was treated like crap. I’d NEVERRR be an owner and treat someone who is supporting my business like they treated us. The security attacked my sisters boyfriend, they threw liquor at us. It was insane. I heard stories about them dragging women out of their establishment before I even attended that night. this was my first and last time ever attending.!! Maybe I should have took that as a sign; but I thought to myself ; we don’t bother anyone and we will be fine. These people are super rude and unprofessional. I wouldn’t suggest attending. My sister...

This is the worst club ever, I’ve been here before , this was my first time this year coming back to this club so I thought I’d go back tonight June 1st 2024: Arrived at 9:30 pm got parked , was sitting in the car . And all of a sudden the door man with dreads starts walking towards my car , taps on the window, He told me aggressively to move out his parking spot .He jumps back in his car and He let down his window and gave me the death stare and proceeded to walk back up to my car once again , Demanding I move ! He said if I don’t move out of his parking spot , then you can’t get in the club . He kept going toe to toe with me and I’m a female. I thought he was gonna get physical. I didn’t get a chance to even go in . Not to mention I drove 50 minutes just to get Safari club. And was told to leave the parking lot and not come back . So I did just that . I’m not ever coming back . There loss not mine . This club will continue to lose more people . No wonder it’s free entry and free parking no where to park and the drinks are expensive. Parking sucks ! Money hungry owner of this club will get his KARMA and his door men will get their KARMA AS well . GOTTA BE CARFUL HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE . * beware do not come to this club !!! Very unprofessional!! Bad attitudes . !!...
