I went there and didn’t receive service for over an hour besides complimentary water. When we asked them to serve us a drink, they refused. When I asked why, they accused me of “playing the race card”. When I asked them why they had also asked the other black couple to leave, the server said it was impossible for them to be racist, because they were Spanish, and asked me to leave. The bar down the street had a drink in my hand within minutes. Given the history of this area and racial profiling, I don’t think in good conscience you can give this establishment your money

I don’t want others to experience what we did and frankly, I’m upset and furious about what happened.Went here to meet up with some friends with my boyfriend. Was our first time there, and last. Will not be going back, especially with how the bartender spoke, approached, acted, and overall treated my boyfriend. While there, we also witnessed her deny service to another black man that came in. Save your time, go somewhere else. I don’t recommend spending your energy and money here.

The Front is a classic dance spot in NE. Has a certain vibe that’s not for everyone, but it’s a gem

My friend was drugged here and when we left to go home the bouncer/security were acting very weird. So just watch your drinks, this might have been a one time thing we aren't from around

The venue has a cool setup with good lighting, and our bartender provided excellent service. However, if you're looking to dance to goth, industrial, EBM, or synth music, be cautious. The DJ played a mix of great 90s and 2000s tracks, but would occasionally throw in Rihanna or Bieber songs every few tracks. This mix seemed to disrupt the flow of the dance floor, as the crowd would get into those modern tunes and then cool down with the others. The crowd appeared to lean towards a more modern music preference, but the DJ's choices didn't always align with that.On other notes, the drinks were reasonably priced, although I stuck with simple options. The restroom facilities were acceptable for a bar, and the overall space was sufficient for a weekend evening. However, my overall impression wasn't particularly impressive.

The bartender was unhinged last night. Screaming and acting insane like we weren’t going to pay for drinks. Absolutely insane. Do not waste your time or money here!

Would never recommend going here. The bartender lost her mind because friend didn't get the card out fast enough. Don't spend your money here.

The bar tender with face tattoos who's clearly on opioids gave a very off putting vibe

Favorite place to dance!

Horrible night life bar. Bartenders continued to service Phillips when i asked for mid shelf to even top shelf liquor, and lied multiple times about it. I saw her serve me phillips asking for Titos in my drink. Very unprofessional bar, will never attend again.

Incredible place but a painfully bad DJ.

Requires vaccine card- but no point as nobody is there. If you're afraid you will definitely have more than 6 feet between you and anybody else.

Went here for their Halloween party. Although it was very busy the servers did their best to serve everyone in time. Also they require proof of vaccination which made our group feel very safe. We all had a great time and loved it.

Great place to dance and they take proof of vax very seriously which makes it even better!
