I’m really frustrated with the fact that Tom Turner and his assistant have not returned my calls or emails after I completed a consulting and repair job for them.
Tom came into the repair shop where I was working at the time and arranged for me to come in and check what was wrong with the speakers at his club. I drove out there on my own time, free of charge, as a courtesy, and assessed that three of his speakers were in various states of disrepair. He gave me a spare speaker to look at, which they claimed was broken. I examined it without charging a bench fee. I also gave him a discount on fixing his CDJs, which he left at the store for a few weeks. I called him back to let him know I was quitting my job and wanted to get his gear back to him before I left. He said, “I would like to give you money if you are able to finish the job, not the store,” which I was happy to do.
On my last day, I delivered the gear to his assistant, replaced the faulty speaker (which, mind you, weighs about 60 lbs), spent an hour and a half fixing the signal routing back to the vault, and ultimately determined that the sampler for the bar was no longer functioning. I recommended they buy a used amp since fixing the current one would cost more.
He was unhappy with the half-day rate of $250 that I invoiced him for, which is standard, and tried to bargain down to $200.
This may seem like a small amount to him, but it’s part of how I make ends meet, and it has a real impact on my livelihood.
Thanks for not sending the money. May this poor excuse for a club—a complete acoustic mess with no sense of creative integrity, with cash grab Disneyland aesthetics —rest in peace after Tom sells it. It should’ve...
Read moreThe Croker Club is lit. I enjoyed the vibe and mixed crowed. Great music selection and 2 dance rooms. Parking is close and the croker club us what los Angeles is about. The night I went i was greeted and let into the club quickly. The drinks are nice and strong also offering great red and white wines. Felt safe and free at the club. A lot of good looking people attending. Dresscode was mixed but a comfortable vibe. Both dj's played great music. Clean bathrooms with toilet tissue!! Had a blast with ny friends and I will definitely go back. The cover price was not to bad. There is a guest list with no cover charge if you come before 11 pm. Worth...
Read moreIf I could give this place 0 stars I would, the only thing that was even kind of ok about this place was the location and the old bank decor they had inside. But everything else, and I do mean everything (the service, the drinks, the atmosphere, the clientele, the food) everything was terrible. Don't waste your money, do not go here and save yourself the headache and disappointment. Plus after doing some research I found out that the owner Tom Turner has been involved with many fraudulent scandals throughout the years involving this club and other establishments. All around just a scummy place, way better clubs within a 10 mile radius you...
