Place is fun! Sometimes it’s just fun sometimes it’s LIT. This place does not discriminate because I am of Spanish descent and they’ve been strict af with me and my crowd too! Sometimes they charge $10 sometimes $20 for the nightlife entrance. I have never ate food there but have only gone for their nightlife. Given how pack they can get I will say their service staff does an amazing job. I feel safe there with the security they have and the people in the front are professional, but strict because you have to be with the amount of people that go there. I have experienced many times where I could not get in due to maximum capacity and this is just the rules that they don’t break. The drinks are good too. A complaint is the their female bathrooms are falling apart and they have yet to fix it. Their VIP is a fair price and they do their best to make you feel special. I do have one complaint about VIP, please put the pineapple juice in the freezer . It’s always hot af and it would be nice if it was cold . The bootle should be cold too. And ultimately please get more AC’s . It’s so hot and everyone sweats in the summer. Be ready to be dripping in sweat especially if your downstairs . Overall the nightlife is fun. It’s mostly a Spanish club but they do play all kinds of music. Depending on who is the DJ. My experience there has been great over all and I thank the staff for their hard work to provide a great entertaining atmosphere.

(Reviewing the Nightclub specifically) My girls & I always have the best time here. Great DJs, great crowd, fast bar service & security is ON IT which is rare for the area.Thursday seems to be lowkey, saturdays are packed. Entrance IS 20 but at least the people inside actually dance & all the bars are quick so its fine. Really like this place

The place is good, but waitress served food to another party and when we asked because apparently the kitchen was close already they said they knew the party and that's why they got food but my party didn't

I've got let in by the bouncers and then they randomly kicked me out for no ready. Everyone I went out with was a friend and be embarrassingly enough of them

The food here was absolutely amazing. However the customer service was not. The main reason we came here was because they promoted hookah and hookah at brunch. When we first asked if they had any they said no. It took my friend to go up to them and ask why they promote it but don’t sell it for them to bring any out, and it took almost 30 minutes for them. We waited about 15 minutes for our drinks despite being the only ones there. After the food was brought out we waited another 25-30 minutes for the waitress to come and check to make sure our food was okay. My friends steak was cooked rare even though she asked for it medium rare WHICH is no problem that’s an easy fix. However they just put the same steak on the grill and served it back to her well done. After she asked for a new steak they said they can’t because she already cut through which makes no sense. Then she charged my friend twice for the same receipt because she didn’t know how to use the machine that takes the credit card. Mind you this whole time we were the ONLY ones there for a good 2.5 hours. Great food, horrible service.

Very unprofessional. My sister went and booked a VIP for her birthday, put a deposit and all, and even had to ask for a receipt because they weren't gonna give her one. For them to tell her a few days after it was given up. Now she can't book nothing else for this Saturday.

1. No soap in bathrooms 2. No paper towels in bathrooms 3. Had to request plates 4. Had to request silverware 5. Bread in basket was stale 6. Chicken that came out clearly had been sitting around 7. Had to go to kitchen to get bill Perhaps it was because I came one hour before closing. But perhaps not?

So we went for my friend's birthday, got had paid for VIP so we thought we were all set. WELL we really wasn't. First $10 cover charge for everyone including the birthday girl, $30-35 for hookah which the girl told me it is an extra $5 charge when you pay with card (I'll come back to this issue in a moment), and when the night was over my girl, the birthday girl, had to pay like $500 at the end of the night. What did she pay for when pre-paying for VIP you ask? Well they told her she is getting a table, a bottle, and a cake. We had two casamigo tequila bottles a bunch of little pineapple juice cans and I am pretty sure she paid for both bottles at the end of the night. We never got the cake, the girl told us they didn't have it so she brought out two bottles of champagne. She even told us that they were unorganized haha. So I don't know what in the world the VIP price included. But let me get back to that $5 additional charge for using card... I went to get a bottle of water and it was $2 !! No additional charge so what was she talking about. I don't know if I will return for a club night the space is crazy small and overall just a bit unorganized for me. One thing I will say is my girl had a blast the music was good so no complaints

I can't believe The service

This Saturday 3/12/22 I and my family wanted to go out and have a great time. We are not of Spanish descent but that of African American. Which in any case should not really matter. But at this particular place it seems to matter to at-least one person and unfortunately the person I am referencing is a woman security guard that works the front door. She seems to be of Spanish descent herself. But moreover, this is the second time I and my family choose to visit. And Both times we have shown up ready to experience a good time, this seems to always be the case. We ( I and my family) all would be approaching the entrance and she ( woman Spanish security guard) would see us approaching and screams “ we are now at maximum capacity. So therefore we are not allowing anyone else in.” This is our first night visiting 1/31/2021and she said this, I and my family were so disappointed but we took it for face value and were about to leave. But shortly after her making that statement, she had walked away from the entrance to tend to something else so another security guard came to cover and he told us that we may enter. I thought that peculiar especially being that we were previously told we may not enter by her literary a minute ago. But nevertheless I was grateful. So we entered that night, and had a great time. And because we had such a great time, we decided to revisit. Now this is our second time visited 3/13/22 and we were approaching the door and oddly enough the same woman was guarding the entrance and shouted the same exact thing from before(our first visit). “ we are now at maximum capacity. So therefore we are not allowing anyone else in.” I and my family we so disappointed AGAIN, to hear this but we were going to leave taking it for face value. As I turned to walk away, don’t as me why, but I turned back to the door only to hear and see this. The same woman security guard that sent I and my family away with claims that the bar was at maximum capacity was shouting to what looked like two Spanish men “ hurry up, hurry up”. After she said this, I witnessed these two men running towards the entrance and she let them in. I immediately ran back to the entrance after witnessing her allow others into the bar because I assumed that things may have changed but she closed the door in my face. So I proceeded to tap on the door demanding an explanation. But she looked at me through the tinted glass door and smiled and never approached to explain anything. At this point I and my family felt highly discriminated against and upset. We went back to the car and as we were driving past the bar we then saw the same woman allowing other people in, all of which seemed to be from Spanish descent. I cannot believe this happened and to whom ever the owner is, I hope is able to read this review and moving forward be on the look out for the people he or she chooses to guard the front entrance. It is not how business should be ran and definitely not how people should be treated.

I never expect impecable customer service at Peruvian restaurants in the northeast, but it is always nice to be reminded of how things can get a new low.This establishment looks like it’s falling apart. Paint off the walls, tables that look like someone forgot to clean after their customer left hours ago. An incredibly, poorly maintained restroom and getting asked if things are going well with our meal, 29 minutes after the food was brought to the table, despite being the only customers in the entire place.Also, we did not know there was a pool table. Open to anybody, it seems. Party music and quite the lively atmosphere will make you forget how regrettable coming to this place was. Or not.Ps:I wish Google will give one the option to give zero stars. And I’m also Peruvian, born and raised.

The environment was great in a Friday night. Latinx music was playing. Make sure you bring cash for cover at the entrance.
