Went to see Fisher. It was jammed! Not really the atmoshere to dance and enjoy the dj, but more of a place to splash $ and socialize. The vip tables are somewhat awkwardly positioned if youre going to see the dj; literally none are in sight except for the tables behind the dj booth. Still, a very nice, clean, upscale venue.

I went to the Cascada concert in December and the place got crowded fast. Bathroom lines form fast, you get a lot of clumsy people who spill drinks and litter on and off the dance floor, but the music itself was fantastic. I waited 3 hours for the performance to start and noticed security could have managed the wait better, inside the club there were people being rude and trying to grope you. Outside the club there was someone who clearly needed medical assistance and security couldn’t be bothered until l brought it to their attention,…and even then they weren’t attentive enough. The club overall is beautiful, I definitely think security needs to be taken more seriously, maybe hire women staff too.

We had an absolute blast at HQ2 last night for my friend’s Bachelorette Party! The service was impeccable— from Chris helping us secure a table (and answering my many questions quickly), get checked in, and upgrading our table (best one in the house- right next to the DJ booth), to the super sweet hostess/host, JoJo and Jayden, to the security guy by our section, Gary. The bachelorette sign presentation was the highlight of the bride’s weekend! The club was clean and beautiful, even the bathrooms! Everything was perfect! we will definitely be returning!

I would NEVER recommend this dirty club to anyone! to start off I was with a group of four. We got drinks when we arrived and opened a tap with the bar tender. after we got our drinks he was fighting with us about not tipping?!! And we’re going back-and-forth saying that we opened a tab that were going to come back for more drinks so why would we tip out on every single drink we get. You shouldn’t be a bartender if that’s your motive is to get tips. I’m disgusted that this place would hire people like that. It was like an older man. He probably didn’t even want to be there from the start. I even called to complain. Manager did nothing about it.

Honestly disgusted with the experience I had And didn’t even make it through the doors…A large group of us bought tickets to the icona pop concert for a Friends birthday.We were completely unaware that the HQ had a strict dress code before obtaining the tickets because it didn’t say it on the website when buying the tickets or in the email after..I had a gold sequence mini squirt on With black boots. I was the only boy in the group and It was completely uncomfortable when I was pulled out of line and escorted out without reason. We were all confusedThe guy that was managing the security was very aggressive when asking why i was getting escorted out., first, it was that I was wearing a skirt and at one point said verbatim ”The boys dress code is a bit different” which felt and is completely homophobic. Then my black boots were also an issue, said “ worker boots were not allowed “., I was literally wearing a Rave boot that’s meant for clubbing: why the hell would I wear a steel toe shoe to the club? lol. he didn’t wanna hear me out at all, and I could tell with his irritability that he just wanted to escalate the situation so then we requested to speak to the manager for a refund.,Long story short, wouldn’t recommend. We drove a few hours for a concert just to get denied because of a sexist dress code. WACK.

Was at the HQ2 Beach Club and had the best server ever!!! Gabby was absolutely delightful. Having Gabby as our server made the day even more remarkable! We traveled fromNY to Ocean and do not regret one minute of our time spent at Ocean. The music, drinks, food and service were outstanding! If you haven’t been to HQ2 please GO and Ask for Gabby!!!!!!

I hung out with my nephew and his friends (for his birthday that has lasted 3 weeks already) last night and this place was INSANELY COOL. We got a VIP table above the dance floor and it was worth it.Ive never seen a light show like this before. The way that everything just coordinated was mind blowing. DJ was incredible.Service was top notch. Staff dressed to really impress and waitresses were dressed to impress...the men ☺ All were friendly and professional.We just had a really great time. I definitely recommend going for the table.

While wearing the appropriate attire per the rules listed outside of the club I was denied access because “men aren’t allowed to wear sandals” while only policy on their club wear sign wear was “no strapless sandals”. My Birkenstocks had a back strap, like multiple of the women who walked in with no problem. This is a huge discriminatory policy that the management turns a blind eye to when addressed.

Pool party visitors beware** this area gets packed to the point you’re not able to move (not even an inch). This is worse than a nightclub because of steps, cabanas, lack of security, DJ booth is in front of bathrooms and food stand and the list goes on. This was a very dangerous setup. Do not recommend a large event in this space

The guy Harold is great hands down. Do you know how good it feels when you know you been drinking, so your lit/confused and have someone that understands, is patience, and explains things in detail over and over if he has to is? Sorry for the run on sentence but It’s great yo and almost necessary for this work . I thank him and I thank HQ2 for hiring him

Filthy, overcrowded, and bad vibes. You would expect it to be nice since its in the nicest casino, and it has a dress code and a $30 cover, but you would be wrong. I don’t expect to ever go back.

This club is annoying. I want to like it, but I just get incredibly irritated every time I go. Firstly, the club itself is good. Lots of places to sit, an upstairs balcony, great lights and soundsystem. Its also a circle which is nifty.That said, heres the bad. They have like 3 beer choices and they all royally suck. Theyre supposed to be open until 4, but will sometimes randomly close at 3:15 or whenever they want. Its inside the casino so, if youre dressed in a risqué manner, you get assaulted by casino patrons before you even get close to the club.And heres the worst thing about this place by a long way: it is jam-packed with insanely drunk 21 year olds. I go out to dance and only to dance. I can do that at every other place I go - not here. Here, people are grabbing me to try to talk. When I say no, they just hang out right next to me. If I move, the really annoying ones follow. They are relentless. I had one guy offer to buy me a drink, I said no and started walking away and he says Ill buy you two! LoL. No, dude. Just no. The crowd is AWFUL. Were it not for that, this place would be infinitely better. I avoid going here at all costs.

Part of Ocean Casino but cant get there from here. Reservation required with hefty entrance fees as security captures your personal information, only to have access to small pool area. DJ when I visited should not quit his day job. Bad food and worse service. Only open on weekends Good idea, but poor execution.

Great party vibe most days, DJs are usually great, and the Bar is great. Will definitely Recommend for a night out. My only complaints are: to get into the club you have to walk up about five flights of stairs, and when in the club there is absolutely nowhere to sit and rest your feet if needed, unless you have a VIP Section. Definitely not ideal for those wearing high heels. Other than those two inconveniences, it’s a fun time. However, I absolutely Do Not Recommend going for Holidays. My friends and I were just there for Halloween Weekend. We bought our Tickets months in advance. We have never seen this club so dangerously crowded. Even one of the Security Guards told us, while we were in line to enter, that it was way past capacity and the Fire Marshal was already threatening to shut it down. This is also an ongoing issue on some regular day basis, as my friends and I have experienced overcrowding multiple times before, where there is barely any room to move or dance. They need to have better Management in control of the amount of people they are allowing in.

Literally took my brother’s money & claimed they gave him a drink when they never did. then proceeded to gaslight him & kick him out when he asked for his money back. if the score of this place doesn’t tell you what you need to know then i hope this review does! don’t waste your time here. there’s so many other better places in AC to give your business to!!

Wonderful time! Went for a friend’s bachelorette. Atmosphere is very fun and music was great. Our server Liv and her assistant were very attentive and made sure we had a blast. We did a deck table with 9 people which was perfect as far as space and worth the money given we were there for a lot of hours. Chris our contact was responsive and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend for any party!

Great club. They should have more staff during events that can cover the demands of the people. Food menu should be bigger too. There is little options for food. Drinks are awesome and price is good as well. The line in the bathroom can get pretty long as well. They offer lockers if you want to keep your stuff dry and safe.

DO NOT GO TO THIS NIGHTCLUB! We were denied entry to this nightclub without any reason at all. We went up to talk to security to ask if there’s anyway we can go in. Security told my friend that we were only allowed in if she would give him sexual favors. We clearly didn’t and left. It makes me wonder what is really going on in this club. My friend called to talk to management and they were extremely rude on the phone and told us we weren’t allowed in because we were wearing flip flops. This wasn’t true at all. We were so disgusted that night. We came in a party bus and told our bus driver who will be telling other drivers about what is happening in this club. We told multiple bars about what happened too. Please avoid this club!!!!

Conner and Irena were amazing. I did my bachelor party here and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I had 11 of my best friends and both Conner and Irena hooked us up.Conner worked with me for about 5 weeks to get the details set. He was responsive the whole time and kept me in the loop on every detail. Ive been to a lot of clubs before but Conner was the best promoter ive ever worked with. He even helped us get into the night club afterwards. 10/10 would work with him againIrena was a class act and was very helpful during our stay at the Cabana. She made our experience feel special .I had a great time here and man I wish I could do it all over again. It was so much fun and these two were the main reasons why

Went here for my birthday last weekend and it actually ruined my weekend. I live in Miami so I have a ton of experience going to clubs. This place is a scam with absolute dirtbags working there. We bought a ticket right there at the door, and then after they scanned it, refused all of us entry for not wearing heels. They couldnt have told us that BEFORE selling us tickets??? Literal scumbags just looking to make a buck! Like I said, Im from miami, a dress code is nothing new to me. We’d also been to the beach club there during the day and it seemed like a normal chill atmosphere. I was wearing heels to dinner and then changed into nicer DESIGNER shoes to go here for the night. Shoes that Ive gone to Story in. But for a tiny club at the trashy jersey shore to require heels? Are they out of their minds? All the staff was on a power trip and I do believe part of it was rooted in discrimination because we were all speaking Spanish as we arrived. They were just so incredibly rude I spent my birthday night CRYING and out hundreds of dollars on the tickets they refused to refund. Karma is coming their way for running a business like this is all I can say and I truly hope nobody else is ever treated the way that we were. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS

I can NOT believe the service we received last night at this nightclub. My friends and I are in our 40’s and after the 10 of us bought tickets and were ready to go in, we were given a problem because I did not have my ID. I had already presented a picture of the front and back of my ID, and a photo of my passport. MARTIN, the security manager said in front of all of us that he would let me in, and then decided to rescind his statement after he said ok and we went along and purchased the tickets. Diane, another security worker HEARD him and could not believe what he did to me. It was our 15 year anniversary and they completely ruined our evening. They made racist comments and another worker at the front that had dreads was making insulting comments. I am not interested in flirting with a guy if I am happily married, thank you very much. That is UNACCEPTABLE!! And because I did not feed into this degrading behavior he went to Martin and told him not to let us in. We live in an awful world and instead of uniting as one and treating ALL with respect and class we were looked down upon for being well put together and white. I do plan and taking this to corporate headquarters because I do not want anyone to go through what we went through. They tricked us all into paying for tickets in advance and then told us sorry can’t get it. Just blows my mind. They refused to return the payment and gave us no direction as to how to pursue a refund.I’m sure you have cameras to see with your own eyes how awful we were treated and wasted 40 minutes given the runaround instead of having a nice evening. We lost our money, we were embarrassed and upset. Just a shame.

Went for Halloween weekend to see Meduza. The crowd is very young and rowdy/ stumbling around. Security was always within arms reach which was comforting. The place starts to die down by 1:00-2am but that’s usually when the headliner DJ plays so if that’s your intention in coming here it feels like a private gig. Great sound, strong drinks and nice smoking area on the roof top. Didn’t have to worry about the dress code because it was halloween which is nice. Also they have elevators, 4th floor is less crowded, less wait for the bathroom and bar.

HQ2 is seriously the best club ever. I would recommend it to anyone because you’re guaranteed to have a good time every time. Chris Alfonso will take care of you and make sure you have the best experience. As a host he goes above and beyond every time. All of the servers and bartenders are great as well. 10/10 would recommend both the night club and pool club to anyone.

Would give it a negative review if I could. Worst service. Michael A007592 security person completely mistreated us after spending close to $1900 a night in the club. As soon as we paid, they asked us to leave the club so they could give the table to someone else. They wouldn’t give us any reason on that. Would NEVER ever go to this club. Have been to gazillion clubs but this is the WORST of all for staff even if you get a table. DO NOT EVER GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

I wish I can give zero stars. As a manager we accommodate the customers needs. I had a broken foot and I could only wear certain shoes as being disabled and they treated me like I was garbage. I have never felt so low. That I was nothing. I would have never treated a customer or a guest with such disrespect. They clearly discriminate, so beware. I was unable to spend money. If youre losing sales, check outside, Im sure they are the reason. Too bad 👎and Martin, the manager, should be fired for allowing his worker to call my friend fat. I have it on video. Hope you still think its funny when I report you and upload the video so everyone can see and hear what terrible people you are.

Update: After speaking and then arguing/yelling with M**** on the phone, I stand by my original review of this place. M**** insisted that after watching the video footage that multiple girls in our group were wearing flip flops and that’s why we were not allowed into the club. The bouncer B****** told M**** that we had come up to the entrance asking for other places he would recommend, which is an absolute lie and then according to B******, he turned us away because “multiple girls had flip flops on”. We literally all changed our shoes and left them on the party bus because we knew the dress code. B****** told us the club was full, every single girl in our group of 6 remembers it. Also according to M**** after he reviewed the footage, those men did not know B****** because they were standing too far away. Though M**** did admit there was no audio so he couldn’t tell what had been spoken, but they of course were not friends and didn’t know each other. Our group remembers how they all interacted and what they said to each other. I requested a copy of the video, but was told I needed to have a lawyer to get it. For all you women looking to have a great time, this is not the safe or fun place to do it.Original: We showed up at hq2 nightclub late on the evening of August 18th, to finish dancing the night away for my bachelorette party. We were all dressed appropriately according to their dress code, including our shoes as we made it a point to change into heels after reading reviews. We get to the door and the bouncer says the club is full and that we can’t enter. We then watch several men be allowed into the “full” club. These men were not readmitted, they were entering for the first time. One of my bridesmaids looked up if tickets were still available online and they were. The bouncer then had several men come out of the club that he knew personally. These men then proceeded to tell us that we could get into the club if we gave them “something” in return. The bouncer saw and heard everything and pretended like it wasn’t happening, even though he knew exactly what was going on. We told these men no, and I told the bouncer this was unacceptable. He told me there was nothing he could do and we were not getting into the club. We then watched him let more people into the club after we told these men no. They also had a security guard follow us out of the resort after they noticed me telling other women about the experience. If this is the kind of business you run and allow, you should be ashamed. The next day we had talked to a couple young women working at the place we were staying, and they told us that we were lucky to not go to that club as it was usually a bad time anyway and wasn’t worth the price. They also informed us that the bouncer usually sneaks in his friends for free through the staff elevators, and that inappropriate behavior is common at this establishment. I have never been so disgusted. I told every woman we saw that evening about this repulsive behavior and we will never be a patron of your entire establishment because of these events.Edit: Email has been sent and I am patiently awaiting a response.

What a convenient, albeit entirely untruthful response from your staff. At no point was I rude or disrespectful to any of your employees. We only became frustrated after your staff wasted our time and became rudely dismissive when we asked about obtaining refunds for the tickets we couldn’t use. I wouldn’t have taken the time to write to you about what happened otherwise.Indeed another individual in our group didn’t have ID but went up to his hotel room and brought it back only to find out that Martin had changed his mind about letting me in. Then they made us waste more time by sending me down to have our ID validated by the casino security office where I was told that the HQ2 security managers who sent me knew or should have known that their office cannot verify ID without a physical ID.And NJ state law didn’t apply to the black girl in the pink dress in front of us who also didn’t have her ID but was allowed entry?At this point, please just advise what information you need from us in order to process a prompt refund for the 10 tickets purchased since we never entered the club.

This place doesnt even deserve a 1 star review. We went to H2Q to end the night on a bachelorette trip and were told we could not enter because they were full. A group of guys approached us as they were leaving and asked why we didnt come earlier in the night, and suggested that they could get us in since they know some of the people that worked at the club. A few of the girls went to speak to these guys and security and were told the only way we could get in is if we give these men sexual favors...the bride obviously disgusted and offended said absolutely not.When she called and spoke to the management team regarding what had happened they tried to tell her we were all in flip flops and that is why we were denied entry. Which is false I wore heels the entire night as well as the other ladies. Which we did on purpose after reading prior reviews about their dress code policy. Instead of us ending our night dancing, we now have the memory of being propositioned. I highly recommend you tell all other women to stay far away from this place as they are a disgusting vile business, and obviously they condone this sexual harassment.

I explored countless nightclubs across both coasts, and six European countries. I can proudly admit that HQ2 surpasses them all. The legendary DJs that perform here, combined with the luxurious atmosphere, and golden staff and their accommodations set this place apart. Every friend I bring (club goers and not) end up falling in love with the place. Conner is a king, and his client service is unparalleled. He makes each person feel genuinely special and ensures his team and clients are happy. Another note, this club is safe. The security do not mess around, and I respect that. Each girl I brought here has admitted that as well. Do not listen to the negative reviews of this establishment. If you cannot have fun here, you cannot have fun anywhere.

I celebrated my birthday last weekend at HQ2 and it was an absolute blast from beginning to end.Our promoter Zarin was so responsive and easy to coordinate/communicate with.

If you like a atmospheres that stinks as much as their racist bouncers, this is the place for you. Who needs to spend money on their night out when for free you can get mansplained by a neck beard that 12 inch high heels arent as dangerous as sandals. Or if you are unfortunate enough to get in, you get to play a real life round of squid games trying to survive their labyrinth of wet (and somehow dirty) floors. Not a caution sign in site. But never fear! You wont find any Asians either

Honestly, if there was a way where I can give a negative five stars, I would. This organization should thank its lucky stars that Google doesnt allow negative reviews. Also, I know that theyre not going to respond to this review (given that the same exact review has been made numerous times) and they havent responded to any negative review in a year at least.We bought tickets in advance to one of their shows, and showed up, waited in line (all normal). As were about to get closer, this bouncer/manager Chris (more a feckless thug than a person based on his behavior), comes up to us and says coats arent allowed (for the record, this is not in their dress code online or outside).That was fine, except we werent wearing coats; my wife and I were both wearing blazers. He made my wife take off her blazer and go to coat check (even though, again, its not mentioned in their dress code AND IT WASNT A COAT), and my wife did not want to take off her blazer because she was cold. After going back and forth (with Chris lacking basic people skills), we didnt want to ruin our groups night out (which turned out to be awful anyway because the vibe was bad) and she ended up checking in her coat.I would strongly recommend no one giving them their hard earned money. This place employs idiots whose sole job is to get women in the club with minimal clothes on. This place doesnt deserve to be in business.

Chris was our host and took care of us like royalty the entire day.We came to see Alesso which is a tough ticket to get yet Chris facilitated the perfect table for us and also took care of us at the nightclub.If you are looking for 5 star service when planing an event at Oceans, make sure to get in touch with Chris who will most certainly take care of you and your group.

I’ve visited HQ nightclub and beach club many times over the last 2 years and with each visit I am greeted with the utmost hospitality by VIP host Jose Santos. Jose is always prepared to happily provide information and address questions. You can tell Jose loves his job and cares about providing an unforgettable experience for clientele. He has a talent for making your concerns his priority, regardless of how many people he is responsible for, in that moment, you are his #1. Staff upholds a standard of professionalism and even security goes above and beyond to protect and care for guests at these clubs. I would highly recommend inquiring with Jose for all of your needs whether that be bottle service, ticket information, and just any general information about the clubs. He is an amazing genuine person and a hard working host.

I held a joint bachelor/bachelorette party at HQ2 nightclub and it was great!

We went to HQ2 with a group of 15 on a Saturday night. The club is smaller than you think, as 50% of the floor space is taken by VIP tables. The DJ they had from 11 pm - 1:30 am was terrible - no lyrics or words at all.DOUBLE CHARGING GUESTS: The worst part is that the bartenders purposely double/over charge you! My friend bought a high noon and was charged $36 - when she asked the bartender how much it should cost, she said $18 and refunded her. I purchased a tequila shot and 2 small bottles of water and was charged $41. Unfortunately I did not realize I was overcharged until later in the night.WATERED DOWN LIQUOR: It is also so obvious (when taking a shot) they are watering down their liquor.I would beware of this establishment.

I’ve had so many bad experience with the parking is that I am absolutely appalled. I pulled in in my Lamborghini at the same time is my friend with his Porsche. The parking company told me I had to pay $100 to park next to my friend who they charged him $60 which is absolutely ridiculous and they said it had to be cash so clearly they were scamming me. I went the following weekend and one of the parking associate with standing in front of my car and pretended to jump in front of my car saying that I hit him. The manager pulled him away but this guy was trying to scam me so I would give him cash just because of my vehicle. What are you guys doing with this company? This is a poor representation for this establishment. How am I being charged $40 more to park next to another patron? If you pull up the cameras, you can see this gentleman jump in front of my car and pretend that I hit him it’s just insane that this is happening in on a consistent basis.

This nightclub was the worst experience. Apparently $200 Tory Burch flat sandals are not deemed appropriate to wear here because they are “sandals” and not “heels.” I pre-paid for my ticket and was not allowed in based on the mentioned footwear and was treated as though I was wearing gross sneakers. I would not recommend this nightclub especially if you’re someone who can’t wear heels. Terrible customer service.

Want to go out to a place that will show you what it’s like to be in the WWE? The bouncers here are great at that 💗 This was my first time going and I left within 20 minutes. I’ve been to many clubs in different places and in different countries and been invited to many events like these with very big brands and never once had an experience as bad as this. After paying $40 to get in, the club was like sardines in a tuna can. If you extend one arm you are invading someone’s table and get a little “hey girl you have to leave” comment.To explain the incident that occurred that no one seems to help us with when we call, is when two girls in the group we attended with invited us to sit with them in a small table spot by the DJ. Me and my friend (who was celebrating her 21st bday as well) made our way to them. They waved to come into the space and as I walked through I was tackled like a quarterback and thrown to another bouncer in all black out of the section. My arm was throbbing and later bruised and I lost my friend completely. All I could see was the second bouncer giving me a stank eye look as if I were a criminal.I’m a very understanding person, and if they asked me to go I would respect it completely and say sorry for the miscommunication. However, that wasn’t what the ego boasted bouncers had in mind.They thought they were the Undertaker, no words just physical force and ego.We all left immediately, I was in shock from the experience I had and spoke to one of the doorman who witnessed how upset this event made me and tried to welcome me back in.Never again.

What a joke. No music during weekday daytime pool hours. Miserable and boring atmosphere, nothing but a handful of senior citizens. Thanks to complaints from the geriatrics, there wont be any music during the daytime for the duration of the season.Drinks are overpriced for the lethargic ambiance. Stick to the beach bars.

Review №52

Beautiful poolside venue, not a lot of space and very weather dependent but overall a great vibe for Atlantic city.The interior part of the nightclub is a bit strange however. Lights are very bright with big open windows, not something you typically would see in a vegas style club which is no doubt what theyre going for. Pretty decent sound & lights, steep drink prices though. Fortunately i had a good time but if the circumstances had been less than ideal, definitely not the “best” party ive ever been to. Go for special occasions or if you’re obsessed with the dj.

Review №53

Pro: The lights were nice I supposeCons: First, we had to wait in a line for half an hour. Its not organized at all. The crowd is obnoxious. If youre coming here for a rave crowd, its not. Its full of fake id kids and the vibes are not great. VIP bottle service takes over the whole dance floor. Lots of pushing. Lots of aggression. We felt VERY UNSAFE there. We saw our favorite DJ and they were just... different. The speaker wasnt loud enough. The songs are usually house / deep house and the DJ changed it up to be more attuned to highschoolers.Also, we didnt even attempt to buy a drink from the 2 bars serving idk 500 peiple.TLDR; we wont be returning for any DJ here because of the crowd.

Hq is hands down the best nightclub in the AC area! Jose Santos is the VIP host in charge of setting you up with bottle service and overall a smooth, fun experience! He is simply the best and just a complete delight to work with. He’s super helpful and does everything he can to give you to the best for your buck. A true breath of fresh air when booking with him you will not be disappointed!

Went to watch a group of the most creative DJs on the East Coast perform. I say creative as they single handedly manage to create a feeling of regret, self pity and nausea upon entering the club. If Id only recommend this place if you and your friends have a combined IQ of 12.

I had a great time here but wouldnt return.Pros:Great space / effectsGreat music once the main DJ comes onCons:They charge $8 for water and wont pour you a glass of tap water. This is the singular reason I wont return.Security guards on the inside arent friendly as well.

Do not waste your time or money at HQ Beachclub. I have been to similar establishments in Vegas and around the world and there is no comparison. I experienced several safety/security concerns. In addition, the number of bartenders working compared to the ratio of customers waiting for drinks is terrible. I ordered two rounds of drinks and knew immediately there was an issue with my second bill. Earlier in the day, I purchased a very similar round of drinks that were $100 cheaper. The second round of drinks took over 20 minutes to order (so did the first round) and I could not get an itemized receipt. After calling the establishment to confirm drink prices, I learned that I was overcharged by $104.After filing a dispute with my credit card (HQ Beachclub said there were no problem), I could finally see the itemized receipts and was beyond angry. I was charged for 11 drinks when I only ordered 4. HQ Beachclub maliciously overcharges patrons and gets away with it. I am truly upset and have never had a bill inflated like this in my life. Stay away to avoid being fraudulently charged.Sorry, I have never written a review before not sure how to reply. When I called, I spoke with Christian to confirm the prices of drinks. I gave this information to my credit card company who then filed the dispute twice.

My friends and I went to see Malaa at this venue. The show was AMAZING but the venue and service were awful. See below for the full situation:Like other reviews for this venue, a VIP host Chris offered us a “deal” on table and drink service. He gave us a listed price of $500 for a table and drink service and promised us a good location at the venue. The table we received was in the back corner of the venue away from the show. On top of this, staff only waited or supervised on our table twice for the entire six hours. Random people were allowed to sit at our “VIP” table by the staff, and I personally saw at least three different groups of people use our table. Finally, like the other reviews for this venue, we received a bill the next day with an additional $400 up-charge with no explanation.The lack of service or supervision was made worse when my friend and I both were extremely ill the night of the show and the following day (beyond the level of a hangover), making me suspect that our drinks were potentially laced.Even if they were not, considering that anyone near our table or that was allowed to sit at it by the staff could have had access to our drinks the entire show, I cannot trust this venue whatsoever. Stay AWAY from this venue unless you absolutely must see a feature here!

Review №61

If I could give 0 stars I would. Very disappointing. Paid for tickets for the hq2 nightclub in advance, while waiting in line for about 20 mins a worker told us we weren’t allowed in because of our shoes (wearing platform sandals without a back). Meanwhile women in HEELS, also, without a back were okay. I feel like since it was crowded they started cutting people. It was before midnight. It’s a shame because one of the people in our party is a preferred member. Made us spend $0 at this establishment when we were planning on spending the whole night there.

Always a good time even without bottle service as there is a good amount of room to stand by the bar with a view of the dance floor and DJ… Dayclub is a blast as well. As for bottle service Jose Santos is the man and has been a great help every time we’ve reached out, always quick to respond and down to earth. Not to mention HQs lineup is unmatched!

Imagine discrimination and miscommunication in one. We arrived and my friend had a hat on, they told us about their dress code and he went to keep his hat in our hotel room (mind you, we are guests in this hotel) then he returns and they tell him that he can’t go in with his sweatpants. Tell me why I see multiple people with hats on get immediate access. It’s funny because this discrimination was too real. It was supposed to be my college graduation celebration but thanks to the tall guy in the grey suit, it’s ruined. Well done. If you have money to spend, they’ll take care of you but if not, expect to be embarrassed. Never returning.

This review is regarding the HQ Beach Club (not night club, see below), specifically Tiesto’s event:Tickets and Getting in: Received an email from the ticket vendor 6 days prior to the event stating the doors would open at 10:30. We arrived and were informed the doors would open at 11:00. We waited and the doors did open promptly at 11. Getting through security was quick and easy as we were one of the first few people on line. (Getting drinks at the bar was also quick because we were very early-only one main bar for the whole venue) The price of the tickets for this venue is very fair considering the caliber of the entertainers they book.Lockers: There were lockers for rent at the venue but it looked like most were out of service. You had to use a website and QR code to unlock the lockers. They were $35 for the day and included a phone charger (at Steve Aoki’s 4th of July event they were only $20).Pool: It looked like a lot of preparation was put into every aspect of the event besides the actual pool. There was a lot of debris in the pool (before the event actually began, not just from a lot of people being in the pool) it looked as though someone forgot to take a skimmer to the pool before the event started.Music: the volume of the music fluctuated a lot throughout the 6 hours we were there. When we first arrived it was very loud, but at times we could barely hear it throughout the day. When tiesto came on (he played for two hours, as we expected) we were fairly close to the speakers and the stage but could barely hear it (this could be due to the rain but it would’ve been much better if it were louder)Overall the event was very fun and we were looking forward to seeing Tiesto. Anyone coming to an event here should arrive early to avoid long waits at security. The only aspects that could’ve used some improvement was the cleanliness of the pool and adjusting the volume of the music. We will continue to come back as HQ does book great talent in the industry and there is no other experience like this anywhere in Atlantic City.HQ Nightclub Review:We had purchased tickets for Gattuso on July 3rd. The ticket stated the event started at 10. We arrived to the club around 11:20 and found an extremely long line wrapping around the upper level of the Ocean Casino and there were people everywhere (the club is also located on the upper level). We decided to stick it out and wait in line. We waited in line for over an hour and did not move at all. No one had any reason for the cause of delay, it was speculated that the doors did not actually open yet (which would be unacceptable for the doors to not open an hour and a half after the event was supposed to start). If the line did move and we were somehow able to make it in, it most likely would’ve been right when the event was ending. We did not end up making it inside to the event. This was very disappointing, because I was really looking forward to experiencing a nightclub again post-COVID, and we had purchased tickets ahead of time. This experience seemed like unorganized chaos. We ended up going to Pool After Dark at Harrahs where we were able to walk in right away without a wait or any issues (we did not buy tickets ahead of time either).Overall, I would return to the BeachClub but most likely not the nightclub again, unless there was a big name performing. It seems like (at least in the summer) all of the big name DJs perform at the pool and not inside at the nightclub anyways.

Hi, my name is Bryan and I frequent many nightclubs in the area. I have to say that the service and hospitality I received from the two VIP Hosts Jose & Chris is what every host team should strive to be. These two men go out of their way to make sure I am 100% satisfied every time I come. If there is an issue or discrepancy, they are there to remedy the situation. If you plan on visiting HQ2. Be sure to ask for either of them.

Hq2 is the best club in AC. Amazing talent, professional staff, and great overall experience. Been coming here since they reopened in 2018 and Jose Santos has always taken good care of us.

Review №73

Extremely rude staff. My group was offered cover-free entry from the casino’s restaurant (American Cut) which was met with the response “yeah...that’s not going to work on a Saturday.” Our “Jr VIP Host” Chris gave us the option to pay $30 per person for cover or pay $350 for a bottle of Kettle One. We went with the bottle option. After getting to our table and settling in the waiter and manager told us the cheapest bottle is $375, so we were lied to in line. Finally when the check came (before the bottle was served), the bill was north of $450 from fees and without gratuity. We denied the service and left. They will trick you. Do not go here.

Review №74

Extremely rude staff and intentionally tried to mislead our group on the pricing of table service and admission.I will provide more context below:We were in Atlantic City for my buddys bachelor party and had just finished up a meal at the steakhouse American Cut located below the casino. After delivering the check, our waiter asked if we had any plans for the night, and we replied that we did not. He let us know that if we mentioned a specific staff members name from American Cut to the HQ2 club staff that we would get in cover free. Cool. I guess well at least check it out because there is no cover.We go back to our hotel, have a few drinks, then head to HQ2. A host approaches us and states that it will be a $30 cover. I mention to him several times that we were told by the restaurant downstairs that we could get in cover free by stating the employees name. He continually ignored my statements retorting that what I was trying may work another night but, it was a Saturday night, and we did not have any girls with us (no duh its a bachelor party). The host then states that we can pay $350 and get a table and a bottle of kettle one and they will waive the cover fee. We talk it over and because we had already Ubered to the hotel and back to get to this place and we were going to have to pay a cover if we go anywhere else well do it. He leads us upstairs and sets us up at a table. He then hovers around clearly waiting for a tip or something, so my buddy throws him a 10 or 20, and he finally leaves.A few minutes later, my buddy has a back and forth with the bartender over the price of the kettle one bottle now being $375 instead of the agreed-upon $350 at the door. We tell him just to let it go as its only another $25. He asks for the rest of the check so we can close out this table service portion of our tab, and when he gets it, there is another $100 worth of charges for the table itself as well as hostess fees. My friend asks to speak to the manager to sort out the situation because we have now gone from free cover at this place, to $350 for a bottle and a table, to just short of $500 for the same bottle and table. Also, to provide some further context, we have spent well over $1000 at the casino outside the club and $900 at dinner this night, so nobody is really trying to spend $500 to walk in a door of a club we had very little interest in initially anyways. The manager very rudely states that we can either pay the bill or leave, so we leave, and thats all there is to it. It was an extremely negative experience and prompted me to write the first negative review for any place Ive been in probably the last five years.

Review №75

Just went here (didn’t drink) and needed water for my girlfriend who had been drinking the whole night and was feeling dehydrated and lightheaded, so I went to the bar when you walk in on the right side. I asked the bartender for “tap water” and he gives me a small bottle of FIJI. I asked again for tap water and he tells me, “we don’t do that here”. First of all that is illegal in the U.S., which requires every place that serves alcohol to also provide free water. Also he clearly saw my girlfriend struggling at the bar next to me holding her head and couldn’t be a decent human being and just give us the tap water with a sink right in front of him, like really? I obviously wasn’t gonna just let my girlfriend suffer so I bought the small bottle for $8. He even tried calling the bouncer over like I did something wrong. If anything he was in the wrong for breaking the law. I didn’t catch his name but he was a white, middle aged, muscular man, about six feet, with an accent. Definitely won’t ever be coming here again.

Its a shame that my experience at this venue was so disappointing because it is a great setup for a nightclub. In my option, HQ2 (open 2018) needs to do a complete revamp of their internal staff. The promoters and management need to be replaced or trained better by nightlife professionals with more customer service experience. The best asset this club had was a security guard who was working outside the entrance during our visit.

Waited in line for over 45 minutes to meet some friends who were guest listed and already inside, only to be told that the night was sold out and they were only taking pre-paid tickets. There were no signs anywhere saying it was sold out and no employees telling people it was sold out so the people didn’t have to wait in that ridiculously long and slow moving line. (I wasn’t the only person this happened to). I have never been to a club where they sell tickets and don’t have some sort of sign to let people know it’s already sold out. Thanks for ruining my night.

Review №80

It was $25 to get in so I thought it would have to be a good time for that price, and from the pictures online it looked awesome. Well it was very misleading to say the least. They were suppose to open at 11am but didn’t until 12pm, so you think the place would have been stellar clean. But the pool had throw up in it from the previous night, and even if they had skimmed it it still would have been green. There were only about 20 people inside so we sat on the cabana chairs which had hair all of them and did not look to have been wiped down. Only to get kicked out of the section because it was a $1000 minimum (I mean this isn’t Vegas) and when asked where we could sit they said “oh well you can sit around the pool”. We ended up staying a half hour and we’re happy to get away from the lame house music playing and definitely will never go back. If your going to go anywhere go to the beach bar at the hard rock, you get in for free, or pay an extra $10 and go to Harrahs for their pool parties.

It was the worst day ever. We have bought tickets for Tiesto, the event supposed to start at 11 am, but Tiesto was from 3 pm to 5 pm. It’s not fault of Tiesto, it’s poor business of the club. Plus stuff was not friendly at all. I would say they don’t treat people equally. There are people who didn’t pay for VIP are and jumped into it, and were allowed to do so, and security wouldn’t even listen about that fact.Thank you for your resound. This wasn’t the case, girl that jumped into VIP sections had no one she knew.And also security had treated people so differently. Many of them was allowed to stand on rock fence, and others no.

We were with a party of 15 people/family and Jim the doorman only let 13 of us in. We tried to explain that you are cutting off my family. It wasn’t a capacity issue because he let 40 people in right after cutting us off. It honestly just ruined our night. His attitude was extremely disrespectful. I used to love this club under Revel but after this, no thanks. There are plenty of beautiful clubs in AC. Also do not prepurchase a ticket. It doesn’t guarantee admission.

We prepaid for tickets, 9 of us, and disappointedly found out our bumping industry night was replaced with hits from the 80s...., not good. Not what I spent $350 on. After finding out the music wasnt changing we left, we were rudely told we couldnt get our money back. The door people and manager lacked all customer service.

Came here for a friends birthday. When arriving we just wanted to drink and have a good time but once the owner found out it was one of the girls birthdays he insisted on a ‘free’ bottle for her bday and told us all we had to worry about was tipping. Well after taking the bottle, and enjoying the night, it came to closing out....a 300 dollar tab...because they did in fact charge us for the bottle. When trying to work things out, the owner was nowhere to be found. Charge will be disputed.

TERRIBLE staff!!! Rude and obnoxious! I came to AC for the first time to celebrate my birthday. Me and my partner got to HQ about 11:00pm Friday, March 7th. I was waiting for 30minutes in the general admission line. During that time nobody went inside the club and the line was growing longer and longer... (we were the first one to be admitted) So I asked one of the bouncers if there is any technical problem (we were thinking that the delay is due to the DJ not being ready or so..) I was told/yelled at that I would be admitted when he tells me I can be admitted and continued some blurring and walked away. I have asked nicely, we had no drinks before, just a normal quiet couple. We decided to walk away and go someplace else. No doorman is going to yell at me. I did not deserve this kind of disrespectful behavior. Took a cab to Borgata and had a really good time, I wasn`t going to spend any money in that business and advised all my friends not to go there. EVER.

Most of these bad reviews are outdated as the club just reopened under the new management of the Ocean Resort Casino. My personal experience at the beach venue was great. Free parking at the casino, got in rather quickly, and the staff was courteous.

The Beachclub is HUGE and reminds me of Drais Beachclub in Vegas!!! Multiple bars to grab drinks.

Definitely the best summer spot in Atlantic City!!!Nightclub has a great dance floor and VIP table set up. There are 3 bars to grabs drinks from. I like how it is two levels. The mezzanine gives a really great view of the entire club. Great talent booked so far this summer. Love this place!!!
