Truth Lounge and Bar — Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale

SCAM ALERT!!!! Janky promoters and management! LIED about a costume contest that was supposed to happen tonight!! $500 prize for the winner!! NEVER HAPPENED! I stayed at the event from start to end - 4 hours!! I even waited outside 45 minutes until they opened their doors (which was after midnight - later than advertised)!! They said $2 drinks till midnight - doors didn't open until after midnight. I was standing by the door the entire night! They posted this fake flyer all over social media!! I will never come back!! Please do not waste your time!! They obviously don't live up to their "name". Also, there were UNDERAGE girls drinking in there!! I stood next to a girl at the bar that said she was 19 (she looked 16). She was with 2 other underage friends. One of them got extremely intoxicated and had to be carried outside by the other two!! I have their phone numbers and pictures of them too!! This club needs to be shut down!! Reply to the condescending response from the Owner: I'm not mad because I didn't leave with $500.. Your attempt at being condescending is cute. Your establishment LIED about a costume contest that never took place! Your establishment falsely advertised this fake contest all over social media and had zero intentions of paying a dime!!! Nobody got one red cent - don't make this about me not getting anything. I had to work the next day at 8AM. I would've never gone to your establishment and stayed until 4AM on a work night!! I only came for the costume contest! I also have the 19 year olds phone number and picture. Her friend was obviously drunk and had to be carried out of the establishment. I guess that was a strong "mocktail" she was made lol. My daughter has also confessed to drinking at your establishment while being underage. She and her friends have multiple receipts. I'll alert the authorities and provide them with this information and we'll leave it in their hands. Hopefully your establishment will get raided...

Owner is very rude.

Attending a Haitian comedy show and at opening time (7pm) was told by the door man that the owners just opened the doors to allow them to set up and it would be about 30-45 min before they got started. At which point I was offered a seat at the bar which I declined and asked for a seat that I could stay in. Was told to sit at a table just outside of the reserved section.

After about 40 min at the table, I was approached by a gentleman who claimed to be the owner and asked to move as the table I was at had been reserved. I explained there was no reserved sign on the table and had been told to sit here by the the doorman. He said you can move into the vip section but there’s a hookah requirement. I showed him that I was pregnant and not interested, and also would not be moving to the back of the house.

He continued to hassle me and ask that I move. I explained I would not be moving. He said he would have to get security to have me removed and give me a refund, and would rather I just move. In the end he sent a promoter over to us who reseated us on the side with an obstructed view.

The owner was very rude and unprofessional. Will not attend another event...

The worst thing I have ever experienced. I have only been here once, and I will never go back. I attended the Haitian Flag Day event, where they fooled the public by altering the ticket price three times. The price dropped from 45 dollars to 60 in person but they had people paying 100 dollars when paid in person. Their two security guards could not even perform their jobs and spoke very little English, making their check-in procedure disorganized. Everyone tried to push security and shove them over in an attempt to enter the lounge because they had been waiting for so long. I bought 3 tickets and my guests were not able to get in due to this. Eventually the police showed up and I respectfully left but the ruckus was still going on. Long story short Truth remember I need a refund!!! and your Lounge has a capacity of 350 people STOP over selling tickets and scamming people. You guys got fined last year for causing disturbance to the community and you will be getting...
