New owners are terrible. Post-2020 cactus is NOT like the Pre-2020 cactus. New owners ruined it. Self righteous, racist, will delete comments and block anyone on fb who expresses any concerns over the (racist) decisions they make.

Your classic college bar with a big dance floor

Cost to get in and drinks are ridiculous. Says they have the largest dance floor in Indiana when they don’t. Bartenders were rude and paid $12 for a small watered down drink. Can’t dance to music when it changes halfway through the song. People stand on the dance floor and spill drinks all over. Friends and I won’t go back.

Won't let non students in after 11:30. Dumbest rule ever. You clowns don't deserve my money

My friends and I got kicked out last night and when I attempted to ask what policy was broke the story continued to change. The owner walked away as I tried to continue to see what happened because we weren’t even in for a total of 5 mins… all we did was go to the restroom and come out to see him getting escorted out. HORRIBLE MANNERS HORRIBLE SERVICE. Clearly racially motivated.

Racist owners, will simply kick you out for being brown but say it’s for suspicious activity after entering and only using the bathroom. Don’t waste your money on the cover for a mediocre atmosphere. Brothers and Harry’s are the go to!Edit next morning: Loved their response “Please don’t pee on the dancefloor next time.” when I was completely sober when entering and did not in fact “pee on the dance floor” just for them to try and embarrass me out of an honest review because they’re embarrassed they’re being called out for being racist and useless excuses for human beings. Grow up, get a real job! Y’all are DISGRACE!

They said that it was Taylor Swift night but when whiny insecure men complained, they started playing “regular” music, which resulted in most of the crowd leaving. So don’t go to Cactus on a theme night hoping they will stick to it. Taylor Swift’s entire discography without repeats is over 12 hours long. Do better.

I live behind it and every weekend I get to experience the music from the comfort of my apartment while I’m trying to sleep. Every weekend it’s a struggle not to go and throw tomatoes at the DJs. They’re horrible. It’s 2:00am on the weekend before finals and they’re blasting country music so loud I can’t sleep. I hope they go out of business and profanities alone cannot describe the depth of my hatred for the Neon Cactus.
Just go to brothers or Harry’sThe staff is unreasonably rude at times and feel they are above god.The crowd (sometimes, but more than forgivable) is creepy and weirdIf you want to have a good time with your pals Harry’s or brothers should be your go to

I had a disappointing experience at the Neon Cactus. The management is lacking, and the staff's rudeness left a bad impression. Waiting in line for 2 hours only to be kicked out for using the restroom is unacceptable. The new management doesn't uphold the friendliness and reasonability the old owners had. The double scanning and shirt-lifting felt like entering a prison, making the night uncomfortable for everyone present.Wheelchair accessibility: There is no room for wheelchair accessibility in this club, especially in the piano room. We watched someone with struggle to find a place to enjoy their time in the piano room but couldn’t because of the lack of mobility for them to move around.

Management has gone downhill. My friends and I used to go a ton last year and since school started back up it’s just not the same vibe, way less friendly staff, not as packed as it used to be, closing at weird hours when they’re supposed to be open.My friend got kicked out for asking for an expensive bottle of tequila for a shot for her boyfriends birthday and because she asked for this the bartender kicked her out and made security escort them out, security telling them they didn’t agree but they had too.Went there last night and it was supposed to close at 3 AM, closed at 1:45.Went there a night a few months ago around 12 AM and they were completely closed on a FRIDAY!From what I’ve heard, management needs some help. Better fix it before you close down again.
