Security is extremely unprofessional and hostile. They aggressively shove people out the bar 20 minutes before they close and did not let us close our tabs out while screaming in our faces. They tried picking a fight with the crowd. Bartender and DJ are fine but after spending $200 at the bar we didn’t expect to be shoved out before close. Cops had to get involved to separate crowd and security. We will be filing a formal complaint.

this place was so racist to me and my friends just because we had arab passports and they didn’t even let us in after we paid cover. very rude crew called us drunk even though we all didn’t drink. classic racist bad food terrible service.

Fun dance club and great outdoor terrace in the summer time. Despite having security and a cover charge the crowd can be the worst part of the experience. People don't usually come through until 10:30 or 11. Go in earlier to avoid cover. Pretty strict on dress code. But if someone I knew wanted to go to a club I would recommend Benjamin's

Cute bar with outside seating as well as a separate dance floor area. We had a good time here the bartenders were nice and made delicious drinks, prices were decent. The 2 djs we saw had a very good mix of music compared to other dance clubs in the area who just play dubstep. The dance floor had good vibes people of all ages coming to dance and have fun together it was definitely an uplifting and free of criticism vibe good for a night out

I hate this place. Tonight the line for the women’s bathroom was out the door. I used and empty stall in the mens room quickly. When I finished and opened the door I was grabbed by a bouncer by the wrist and dragged out. A. There’s in adequate stalls supplied for women. B. what warranted this man to physically grab me without communicating to me. There were woman on the dance floor wearing no shirts, men molesting women on the dance floor unbothered, and I was kicked out for relieving myself in a private stall ? Horrible over priced drinks. Staff are Pompess children and inexperienced. Just down right hate this place. Prefer a more mature atmosphere.

Would give 0 stars if I could. Bouncers are constantly on a power trip. Super homophobic and don't let you in if you aren't dressed according to gender stereotypes. Lots of men get turned away for dressing too "girly." Also the DJ is so bad it physically made me cringe. There's a cover, so save yourself the money, and just DON'T GO

Bouncer at the door was really really rude. Her really man handled a 5'3 girl which isn't the right way of treating a customer at the door regardless of the situation. It made me really uncomfortable in line, if i was her I'd hire a lawyer.

Best upscale club around if you're looking for a modern hip hop club with an actual dance floor and dj this is the spot

I’ve been asked to leave twice with no explanation. One of those times I was grabbed by the back of the neck by an employee. Will never go back.

Seems like the clientele they want and cater to is like the aryan brotherhood light, and their employees don’t seem any better. Their excessively restrictive dress code makes it obvious they don't want a "certain type of people" coming in.Very aggressive and racist employees.The place fancies itself as some high end NYC club, but it's really just a stupid little basic b1tch bar with terrible DJs and a decent outdoor patio. Cherry on top is the expensive cover for a nearly empty place.

Was having a drink and saw an interracial couple being harassed. Security then told the couple to leave and let the j*** stay!Bad. Vibes.

If you love loud music with lots of college kids, then you’ll enjoy this place. Cover charge after 10pm, good variety of drinks, nothing much happens until after 10pm
