Extremely aggressive "security" encounter. After having our ID's checked we had been in the club for around 1hour until the next DJ set came on. My partner and I were approached by a very large guy who aggressively got in my girlfriends face and demanded her age. We both replied saying she is in her late 20's. To which he again got in her face demanding her ID. Once she took it out he tried to snatch it from her where she hung on. He continued to be extremely aggressive and physical and then finally saw that she's clearly well over 21. He pointed to his badge and said "oh I'm security I'm not being aggressive". it was NOT clear at all that he was security. After this we left the club feeling very unsafe. It was very unexpected that security would be so physically aggressive for an age check. Once we were outside he again continued with his aggressive behavior to which I said it was so unnecessary as we were doing everything he asked for. I will not go here again. This was at around 10:40pm Sat 13 September. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get his name. I'm really upset the night took a turn like this, my girlfriend is also very shaken by this. You should probably drug test your bouncers, he seemed overly twitchy and aggressive which was easier to see when we were outside, I hope the next time something like this happens it doesn't result in someone getting seriously hurt as he was a really big guy and seemed to be just looking for an excuse to...

The only downside was the sound system—the speakers weren’t the best quality, which took away from the full enjoyment of the music.
I had a few beers while I was there, and while they were good, they were a bit overpriced at $12 per beer. That said, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I’d visit again, especially for live...
Read moreWent there for a concert. A little bit disappointed with the air conditioning which was barely working and it made me feel a bit sick. It's a very small place, so they really need to fix it up. The staff were all nice and friendly. I think they might need better security, too, I was surprised to see ppl going into a mosh pit, most other places I've been to prohibit it as it can get unruly and dangerous. A random girl got on stage, and the band members had to shoo her off themselves? That was wild to see lol People were openly vaping while inside which I thought was also pretty yucky, no one needs to smell your strawberry vanilla paradise, bro. Could smell...
