Venus Lounge — Restaurant in Stanton

3/15/25 went again last night, was at the bar for 30 minutes and NEVER got a drink. 4 bartenders and no service, people that came up after me got drinks. I just gave up. The crazy thing is that Saturday staff terrible. Cherry picking who they serve. Fire that grandma Bartender who's service is always trash, then complains when she gets a small tip. Provide some service with a SMILE and the tip may be bigger. We work hard for our money, at least appreciate it. Don't be in the service industry with a bad attitude. In fact one of the regulars told me one time, he was talking to the bartenders and they were bragging about providing bad or slow service (allegedly)... 🤦‍♂️

6/18/24Owners you are leaving alot of drink profits on the table. I have been to your place a lot and have heard multiple times people taking 30 minutes (on slow nights) to get a drink and several came back after 30 minutes with no drink and angry. You are in the business to make money and no will customer should ever be thirsty,if they are willing to give you their hard earned money in exchange.

Unfortunately you don't have a POS system. If you did, here's how you fix the problem. INSPECT WHAT YOU EXPECT.

For two months, the Bartender with the lowest sales is let go. And continue to do that. It's counterintuitive, but When the place is full of customers and the line is backed up at the bar many of those customers are sitting at tables and playing pool. Having someone work the floor and take orders relieves bar pressure.

I'm telling you this because I love your place and met many nice people and want you to stay in business...

Terrible. I'll be succinct with this:

"Strip club" usually means that there are dancing girls. I know it's only 4PM on a Saturday, but c'mon, you should have at least someone dancing on the stage after I've been there with my friends for an hour and a half.

Food prices are decent and the food isn't bad. Only upside to this place, though if I wanted a greasy burger I'd go to a burger joint.

Service... not so great, especially for the prices. Here's a tip: for 15% gratuity you shouldn't be rude to me or impatient 4.5 seconds after you walk over to ask what I'd like. Furthermore, I'm not psychic, so me asking what you have on tap isn't me screwing with you, especially for $8.50 for a beer.

The ATM here is the only one I have ever seen that charges $2 or 8%, whichever is higher. Usually at a strip joint I'll take out $100 to $140, but for 8% you're looking at $40 tops... of course the requisite there is you actually have girls dancing.

No toilet seats? Look, we've established that your place is a dump, but neither the men or women's bathroom have toilet seats. I only needed to take a leak, but what about the ladies? That's just cruel and trashy.

2/10...

I need to give props where props are due. I've enjoyed all my visit to this establishment. The price is right. The food is perfect for a sports lounge. The drinks are "heavy" for the price. The servers are very friendly especially Alex, Toni, and the other asian bartender. The staff is observant and yet courteous to your visit. The entertainment is perfect for this laid back place. They don't push up on you and when you are able to talk with them, they are not money hungry. This place is perfect for the shy guy and the guy who just wants to kick back. Look for Megan, Victoria, Honey, Kimme, but stay away from RC cause she's mine. J/K! Visit this place. If you do it right, you'll never want to go to those money hungery strip clubs that don't give you any attention unless you're a "baller". Thank you Venus for making my...
