Oak Room

We went as a group of friends of 6 and one of our friends (girl) got charged the entry fee because her hair was short all the other girls didnt pay anything. After we told the lady why she charged her she laughed and made an upsetting comment of “ shes only a girl if she doesnt have to pay”. She is straight and got charged only to be made fun of by the receptionist because of her hair being short!

I went out with my friends this Friday and we had a good time the music was great! the atmosphere was great! I wish they had just a little more variety as the music was 80% reggaeton but it was not experience overall. the only real issue I had was with one of the bartenders the one on the left closest to the dance floor. She made our drinks wrong we ordered 2 long islands which consist of 4 spirits, sweet and sour, and coke. however she only mixed 1 spirit, sweet and sour, and coke! Long island is one of the classic drink recipes and she managed to mess it up thats the only reason Im giving it 4 stars and not 5

Very large security guard at the door this past Sunday who refused entry to an event due to having a camera...meanwhile, a man was standing nearby already inside the event with a camera. Security guard asked who do you work for? in a loud tone of voice in front of a line of people and told me I would need to walk several blocks to my car to put the camera away, when he could have just held the camera at the front desk until we ate and left. When informed that I wasnt there to take photos of the run down establishment, large security guard stated I would not be allowed entry. Large security guard was argumentative, ghetto, and unbecoming of a professional environment....all over a camera? Very miserable man. Large security guard then began screaming he would not provide a refund for what a friend and I paid to get in....what a miserable, miserable person. All of this over a camera. Perhaps if he had better customer service skills, he could work a better job at a higher rate of pay and buy his own camera!Would not recommend this establishment for eating, drinking or anything else, and certainly would not recommend the organization who hosted the party, AMG Entertainment Group.

Staff was terrible, staff is very racist and slewed very racist comments at my “intoxicated” friend for no reason. We were literally there to have a good time! This place doesn’t have much of a future at this rate! Save your money and don’t waste your time this place is a terrible disappointment!!!

I went to oak room Charlotte for the first time for the Chris Brown concert after party! I had the time of my life! The service was incredible! The bartending staff was very sweet! I had a very delicious raspberry margarita! The DJ was on a roll kept the crowd dancing all night! Located in uptown Charlotte with a very diverse crowd!

Visited a year or so ago for trap house music night.. The management of the line was very disorganized with random people jumping the line and the bouncers charging cover for people who had been waiting a long time during the free entry period n then the cover doubled from $10 to $20. My friends and I were on the list for free admission, but I think we ended up having to pay something. After that mess was sorted out.. Once inside my friends and I had a good time. One of my friends was celebrating their birthday and we shared a complimentary bottle. Music was decent. Crowd was cool. I second what other reviewers said tho about the bouncers and people who should be cut off by the bar- there was somebody who spilled their entire drink on the dance floor and nobody cleaned it up. Go with a group or go somewhere else.Random on decor.. Stuffed bear when you walk in.. Kinda trippy/cabin feel.

Hello,I attended your establishment tonight in hopes of celebrating my birthday. I purchased a table and alcohol with the perception that this was a reputable place of business that put the safety of its patrons first. I have never been more disappointed and disrespected. A member of my party was wounded and had to seek medical attention! He was not provided the necessary amount of urgency required. What is worse is the issue that escalated had nothing to do with my guest however my guest were casualties. The security that you all employed were highly insensitive to the situation at hand. Another patron that was not a part of my group was allowed to aggressively place his hands on me as we were leaving and nothing was done to address the manic situation at hand. I would like to have a member of management and ownership reach out to me personally to provide me with a resolution. If I do not hear from anyone I will be taking the necessary legal action. As an establishment you are liable for the safety of your patrons.

After reading all the comments I can tell I am not the only one with this issue. Got tickets to an event last Friday and everything was great the crowd was kind of dull but my friends and I had a fun time regardless the DJ was great. The drinks were a little pricey compared to other clubs in the area. However the reason I or anyone I know will never return to this club is the staff. The two bouncers at the door are starving to show their authority the fact that you have to kick beautiful women out of your club because you are bored is sad. I was on my way out the door when my friend remembered she had to get her keys. I sat on the floor to fix my shoe and next thing I know two guys grab me off the ground and tell me I have to get out. Yes I was slightly tipsy but I was completely aware of my actions and everything around me so there was no reason for me to be kicked out. After I told them I would leave as soon as my friend got her keys because we rode together they start dragging me out the door very forcefully. My dad is a police officer so I understand the whole compliance thing but they were hurting me. I told them to get their hands off of me and the homeless looking white guy with the matted red beard gets and inch from my face and starts screaming at me to the best of his ability telling me I was big because his fat ass was too weak to pull me out of the door. After I reminded him that his dick was 2 inches he shut up and got the police officer to tell me to get out but by that time we were walking out the door anyways. I am not happy that your staff left bruises all over me from grabbing me so hard for absolutely no reason and now I have to wear long sleeves to work because it looks like I was abused or something which I kind of was by your staff. All I have to say is be careful who you decide to pull this bs on because you could have a lawsuit on your hands. We are just trying to have a good time so Im sorry that your lives are so terrible that this is what you do for fun but I suggest to management to hire people who arent so insecure that they have to manhandle women.

The worst experience ever. I was really looking forward to going out and dancing to celebrate my friends birthday, on a Friday. It was latin night so it made it even better, when we get there the security checks my ID and doesn’t allow me to go in ( I’m 20 ) the only reason we decided to go was because Friday’s its 18+ for women. When we asked about the new age limit he wouldn’t give us an explanation, security guard was a very rude person

This establishment is beyond racist. I literally just got into an argument with a caucasian bottle host that felt that she could bump us and respond with don’t touch her which led to a confrontation. I was rushed by a security guard, completely unaware of the situation and is only going off based what he felt in the moment. I will find out who this owner is.

Paid for 8 person vip seating w table and got seating for 4. Was told space included standing, smh. The table was holding the ice , cocktail juice so Benfit server. Only reason didnt push issue we right behind booth for dj Envy. Bday gurl was kool wit it. 5/8/22. Happy bday Jazz. Slate/ Oak. 200 E Bland Charlotte NC. And there was other seating which would had fit our 8 not occupied..WE Troopers will make the best of it. In the we set Apart

I can’t believe after reading all of these reviews I am not alone in feeling how disrespectful and power hungry the bouncers are at this club. Absolutely no customer service. I have never been so disrespected in all my life. Management had no interest on the way my wife and I were treated by the bouncer. Also good luck with the police officers who are outside in front of club because they are hired by the club just for show and make it clear they are off duty. They will fake write a report. after you call the real cops they stop them from coming as if they are going to help when truly there only interest they have is for the clubs well being. If you want to be treated like a dog and disrespected this is the club to be in.

We paid for a V.I.P table to have a good time. Unfortunately, security and club staff let one section have unauthorized guest which caused a fight with another section. Bottles and a fire extinguisher was thrown. We had no where to duck for safety. My boyfriend was hit and head busted open. Manager did nothing at all. We werent apart of the fight but was treated poorly. NEVER would I visit Oakroom again. No responsibility was taken tonight.

With a rotating DJ set located in Southend, the oak room is positioned to be one of the top clubs in Charlotte.However, for a 20$ cover, they consistently let us down with the service and experience expected for such a venue. With their focus on table service instead of the general patron, it creates an environment that doesnt foster the club experience expected of other greater clubs outside of Charlotte.(2022 Edit: Apparently the talk is that bouncers have been extorting people for cash because of dresscodes and being aggressive. Hasnt happened to me but when half of my friends have had some kind of issue in the last 3 months well its not a good look.)Expand the floor, invest more in your sound/DJs/service, and theyll improve. But for Charlotte, it works I guess, there are just better options down the street.

Ive heard good things about this club so me and a group of friends decided to check it out since we are new to Charlotte. The line was long but there was no cover and we got in very quickly which was a plus. Immediately we head to the bar and after ordering drinks the bartender told us we have to keep our tab open and we could not get our cards back until 10-15mins. Unacceptable. We decided to go to the dance area, which was way too overcrowded, until we could go back to the bar. We head back to the bar & my friend asks for our cards. The bartender comes back with the cards, tossed my receipt and rudely points to the tablet for me to sign. Needless to say I will not be returning

Ciaa saturday day party. Our crew spent over $3000 for only 2 hours because the oak room decided to let to many people in. And the fire Marshall shut it down. Including the owner of oak room as well. Waste of hard earned money for sure. We was having so much fun just like we do every year for CIAA but this time they decided to be greedy. We didnt even get to see Mr. Cheeks perform and he was the only one to perform a couple of his hits. Never saw dougie nor juvenile. Smh...We definitely need a refund back. They were charging $100 just for general admission so imagine how much we paid for our section and bottles. Was this planned or a set up because this is the last year for CIAA in Charlotte NC? Oak room definitely got paid due to greed. For that reason Im giving them a 2 rating!

The security or bouncers, whatever are rude af. Me and my friends were escorted to the V.I.P section but apparently our friend pointed us to the wrong section and about 10 min later a group of people came to the section looking confused and decided to tell security. The security rudely told us to get up and leave and said out loud the owner of that section didn’t want us there. He had a flashlight all in our faces and literally kicked us out the entire club, he didnt even care to listen to us to figure out why we were there. Later we figured out we were supposed to be in the section beside the one we were in but the whole thing was just embarrassing and disrespectful. Smh and their line outside was bout sloppy af and disorganized.

We came to the Oak Room after a previous good time on a Saturday night. Tonight we tried to go again and was told that they were only accepting people on guest lists and tables. No general admission. what kind of club is not open for general admission on a Saturday? it seems as if they are trying to be selective which is their choice but it appears to have racist undertones with their fictional guestlists and force feeding of buying a table. This place needs to reconsider its purpose and welcome paying patrons in

The staff has a chip on their shoulder and the “dress code” is very vague. My husband was let in wearing flip flops, while our friend was asked to slip the bouncer $20 to be let in because he was wearing brand new shiny white Jordan’s. Inside we saw lots of people wearing tennis shoes of different brands. It seems racist to Single out a brand that a certain group of people tends to wear.... and rather than stick to your dress code you just ask people to pay you off?! Shady!! He only paid because my girlfriend and I were dressed up and ready to drink and dance. Once inside the music was so terrible that we left within half an hour and went uptown. We will never come here again.

This place is nothing special. Slate/Oak Room have just become plain lame. I went about a year ago and the dance floor was poppin off. Went this past weekend, and the music/vibe was terrible. Theres so much good music out there--why are you still playing You Be Killin Em by Fabolous? And nobody was about to pay money to rent a table there. Why would they? The place was empty at midnight.The worst part, though, was getting in. The bouncer extorted $20 from my fiance because he was wearing shoes that werent allowed. (They were plain white Air Force Ones, BTW). Once we got in, I saw PLENTY of people wearing shoes that arent allowed. They sure have a racket going on there. For sure the worst part of South End.

A very disappointing experience. Apparently the laid back sports bar and upscale dance club have combined which creates an awkward mix in the crowd. People dressed up in heels and cocktails dressed intermingled with people wearing flip flops and cargo shorts. This is no longer a place for grown and sexy. Lots of immature and disrespectful college kids who are overly eager to drink and grind on someone.I have been to the oak room before and Im truly upset with the direction it has gone into. Needless to say, I didnt stay there long.

Went Sat night Apr06. Bouncers here were wildly inappropriate. Me and my wife were making out with a girlfriend and we notice a bouncer has his face literally inches from ours with a huge grin on his face (close enough we could smell his breath) I get it, two girls making out is exciting. Do you job, dont act like a 6 year old kid, dont act like youre somehow entitled to play.Totally unprofessional, kills the mood, made the girls feel unsafe, and we left. Definitely not coming back.

I like to come here Friday nights but this last time the dj was horrible! It was suppose to be Latin night but Im not really sure what he was playing....he couldnt make it 5 seconds through a song without changing it! Im pretty sure he was drunk. The bartender remembered what drink I had from two weeks ago so I thought that was pretty awesome though.

Security/ Bouncers should be on snapped. Lack of customer service when complaints on bouncer assault. Bouncers really need training. If going please be aware because even the cops outside are not on duty... they just represent the law by uniform not by actions. I can only vouch for one bouncer who was educated and had good representation.. the rest be aware.

We went here on Sunday for the All star henny and waffles day party they held the line sooo bad we where in line for close to two hours with RSVP tickets. It started raining they didn’t care they continued to hold the line until they wasn’t accepting no RSVP tickets anymore. Me and about 500 people in line wasted our damn time dealing with this place they treated us terrible We left and walk next door to Hot Taco that party was LIT.

THIS PLACE IS RACISTS AND SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS!!!My birthday was this past weekend July 5th, a group of my family and friends were all going out to celebrate with me. 2 members of my party got there before the rest of us. When they got in line they were asked if they were members the doorman stated they were only letting members in. A group of ppl walked past them stood in line and were let in immediately. The group of ppl who were let in were white, the 2 members from my group asked the next group that stood in line if they were members and they had no idea what they were talking about. The marking manager by the name of John W was contacted and he stated he didnt know what was going on at the door and stated he would call them back he never did nor did he answer his phone anymore. Once I got there with the rest of my party I too stood in line with everybody and spoke to the some ppl who were standing in line behind us they were out to cheer up there friend. Because it was only 3 of them we let them stand in front of us. I watched someone skip a group of black ppl who were in front of the line and in front of the group of 3 white ppl who we let in front of us unhook the rope and walked them into the club. Looking at all the ppl on the patio it was only white ppl. When we tried to find out what was going on we were told they were only letting in ppl who purchased VIP tables which were starting at $500. I just turned 31 on Saturday and Ive never experienced racism before that night, but this place is very racist! I checked theyre event calendar and there were no scheduled events located on there web page. They turned every black person away, we ended up finding another place to go but what a horrible thing to experience on your birthday.

Always have a good time when I go. Its like a one stop shop with their many options to satisfy all needs. From the Game room, lounge area, food, bar, and then club room, you will not get bored here. So not sure what you want to do or your mood changes option, Oak Room is where you want to be.

Went here to watch the Panthers playoff game at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. The music was so loud that I was forced to communicate with the group I arrived with through text during most of our visit. Additionally, the best beer that is available at this bar is Yuengling and/or Budweiser, which is very sad given all the quality breweries in the Greater Charlotte area. I understand why they keep music loud in clubs, because people get frustrated trying to communicate and the alternative is for them to simply give up trying to communicate and they just drink more - awesome. However, it was 4pm, and nearly everyone was wearing Panthers gear. We left before the 1st quarter was finished and I dont see myself returning here with all the other options available. You can choose a better place to spend your money!

Stood in line for 30 min just to be told I couldnt wear Jordans, lebrons, nor high top shoes on a Saturday. Im from out of town and this just didnt sit well with me. I counted 3 other guys who had on Jordans. The security guard tried to get loud when the other security guard was checking my shoes. Im fresh and he was just hating. Sounds like something a racist club would do. I say that because the black community always wears high tops of some sort when they go out. Not vans, chuck Taylors, or sperrys. Its all good I will never go back!!

The oak was a great spot..!!! My first time here.. But the bartender cruella deville was very rude after she messed up my drink. She told me she would have me escorted out.. I wont be back because of her.. #peachciro was what i asked for regular was what i got. Btw i was never rude or mean. i worked in bars for years so i understand.. She was outrageous

**Would not recommend table service here!!!**Table service now sucks. Stood in line after my boyfriend paid $1500 for table service. Was called a broke “hoe” by the staff security for wanting to be with my party who was spending $1500 +. Not sure who manages this now. Very unprofessional and unorganized.

What an awful Latin party they have on fridays! @djmp3.704 seems to have an iTunes free trial because all of his mixes are 15 seconds at the most per song. Not being able to dance a single song...and @djcali704 played only electronic music. I really was expecting a lot more from @djcali704. Not a single salsa song. Like 3 merengues of 15 seconds each one. @djmp3.704 played the same reggaeton song FIVE times!!! We counted them.This place it’s mostly VIP tables where you have to pay at least two bottles of alcohol and they cost you at least $150 per bottle.

The carpet was extremely dirty for an $800 VIP section!! When I went to leave at 2:05 am, the guys said I couldn’t use the restroom. I have an hour commute home. The worker said “find a QT.” This is how they treat their clients. Terrible place & will NOT EVER come back!!!

This was the worst late night outing spot I have ever experienced - and this is from someone who has experienced nightlife all over the world.First thing: the bouncer was a complete jerk on some sort of underserved power trip. We had a reservation under the name Matt and he couldnt even read four letters. As a joke I said lets get you some hooked on phonics LOL and that 500 pound hog had the audacity to tell me to get Adkins diet. Um honey, im like a quarter of your size.Second thing: genius bouncer finally locates the Matt reservation. Heres the catch: I happen to be Asian and he said the chink is not allowed. So I asked to speak with a manager and he is just as worse if not more and he also said dont let the chink in.Thirdly: bar wonder grabs meck police to arrest me for trespassing even though I was on a public street. So of course, cops also being the genius that they are, threw me down on the concrete, bashed my head against a cinder block wall and then handcuffed my wrists so tight I fractured both wrists.The cherry on top of the cake: I have a heart condition and they refused to let me take my medication - if I miss it, its life threatening. Also, all the fat officers at the station were just on freaking Facebook. Wow our govt is a well oiled machine, aint it.**BONUS: one idiot tried to argue with me about proper American spellings. Of course I schooled his ass. Your GED has nothin on my JD.

Friday Latin night is basically all reggaeton. As a DJ you need to play a variety of music. Especially on Latin night where people come out to dance more than just perreo. They teased the floor with a minute of bachata and went back to reggaeton the rest of the night. We were there for a solid 2 hours.

Great Spot!! Loved the margaritas!! Great atmosphere with games and music. Definitely will be back!! More upscale and mixed crowd which was great as well!

Omg it was horrible...where was the fire martial..this place . was extremely over crowded..me and a guy friend had a section with friends in the center back of the club when a MASSIVE FIGHT BROKE out nciaa weekend...the only thing didving us was easily moved couches and red rope. .the fight spilled over into our section knocking down our drinks..which are removed after 2 am so if u get there late u pay for a bottle u never get to drink..when didnt see yo gotti because we left for fear of the dangerous brawl..that destroyed our table..we left in out chrome blue lambo and made love..

Very lively & contagious vibe! Definitely one of the better spots in Charlotte!

If I could give this place less than one star I would, ITS FRAUD! Second time I been here for a late night event where they said a certain celebrity would be here and didn’t show. Not to mention I had to pay twice at the door because of some apparent fraud with their Eventbrite. STAY AWAY, DONT SPEND A DOLLAR.

Its great crowd but no room to sit ALL tables are considered VIP its packed can even view everything because its roped off for VIP so ladies have heels need a rest NOT happening here

I came from Dallas to attend this party. I bought tickets to attend the Gucci Mane party. I was told at the door that I had a fake ticket from eventbrite. Very disappointed. It was a waste of time and money and this whole cherade was a scam.

Ordered 3 shots of ciroc at $12 each. And I promise that it was aristocrat vodka. There is a distinct difference. Just give me what I pay for.

This place is a big scam from the door, to the drinks, to the dance floor. Staff is extremely rude and most dont even speak English. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE.

Love it nice club great music friendly staff

In town on a work assignment and looked up clubs and thought I would stop here and see how it is.... couldnt get in cause I had on basketball shoes. .. if you going to turn people around for shoes and boots you should have a dress code on your page ... waste of time coming here

It was a great time there. I enjoyed the music selection and the environment was extremely amazing. Drink selection was good as well.

The girl on the from door shes is really bad customer service with get there at 10 :30 and with jock with her and shes giving all bar customers service with ar from Raleigh no from here nest time shes need to be more friendly thank you att DJ dicipulo fro. Raleigh

Horrible place, over priced drinks and reaggeton night(Ozuna vs.Bad Bunny 7/20/18), they play bachata, salsa and hip hop. Save your money and try the music factory instead!

Terrible. If your thinking about going, DO NOT.Dirty, not courteous. Police there intimidating everyone.Bouncers are the worst.I would not spend my money there.

I went to the latin room and the music selection was ewwwwww and the sound of such room is HORRIBLE!... wont go there anymore

The Bartender called me the N word because I didn’t leave her a tip

ABSOLUTLEY SICKENED TO HER A TRANS WOMAN WAS DISRESPECTED MISGENDERED AND WAS THREATENED WITH POLICE AND WAS KICKED OUT!!!! AND DURING PRIDE MONTH NONE THE LESS!!! ABSOLUTLEY DEPLORABLE AND DISGUSTING WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!!!

Cant wear Jordans after 11 but you can wear running shoes LOL this place is a joke. If it doesnt make sense then it doesnt make cents $$$

Overcrowded and all they play is reggaeton. I wanna dance bro. Play some music you can actually dance too

I love the atmosphere...but hate the crowd...waaaaay to hot in the club...too many people in the club...had a reserved table and security couldnt find it...

Only place I go for LATIN NIGHTS I’m Charlotte. Best bottle selection and best DJs!

Wow! I just got in town and was think about goin to this spot! Im glad I read the reviews! Sounds like they have a serious problem at this club. Everyone cant be lying about their experience there.

Front door liars and thieves. Beware gentlemen and ladies. Change prices as they see fit and dont post. Plenty of great latin spots around.

A great place to go and have a night out in a club.

They pick and choose who they want to come in they wouldnt let me come in with my shoes that I had on but let a big group of Asians in that all had on Jordans so wont go back

Its always a good time, simply amazing, the party, people and reasonable price drinks are the best

Great vibes, clean place. Drinks are kind of overpriced and extra sweet, but I would stop in again with my friends.

Great music, but tends to be over crowded and the margaritas wasn’t that great

Best night to go is Saturday. Game room, club, and bar all in one place

The place is cool good music but the staff is kinda horrible

Told me they only let members in, even though the website says free on Saturday with no cover.

Expensive with additional quality. $10.38 for a vodka redbull. Get out of here

The security team here are amazing! A+

The security staff was unprofessional and threaten a couple of women they need to do better !

The bouncers are RUDE for NO reason! Will never come back to this bar .

Don’t see how this place is getting away with all the scams. Pathetic. Don’t waste your time and money. This place is a joke.

This place single handedly ruined my wedding. NEVER spend money here:

They didnt have any henny on a Saturday night... who does that...

Cool spot but a lil young.

I have never had a bad experience and I am a frequent customer.

Nice Bar Club! perfect for New years Eve!!

The atmosphere is always a vibe!

Love it so many girls, dancing and drunk people that crack me up

Great vibe Good drinks

Your employees are look like they dont like the place they work for...sorry!.
