I need a manager or the owner to call me, we had a situation last night and it was so frustrating. My friend was kicked out and the bouncer claimed she was “too drunk” and was extremely aggressive while we were sitting on the couch having a water. She was walking and talking fine, even closed out her tab (doing math for a tip) with no issue, she was not incoherent, and she was totally fine to walk out of the club. He threatened us saying he will get nasty meanwhile we were just sitting calmly on the empty patio not disturbing anyone’s peace. We even asked why she can’t just have a water sitting out there and he said she has 3 men that can carry her out! Complete negligence, she doesn’t need to be carried at all she was absolutely fine. We are no threat, we were not aggressive, and we are locals and regulars who come WEEKLY to see the DJ that performs there and spend tons of money each week. So so so upsetting, it was a power trip for him and the guy outside who was also questioning us. Need them to look back at cameras and watch this guy tell us to leave. How unprofessional! It is a club…. Everyone drinks, and everyone is drunk. If someone is too drunk you should cut them off at the bar, not throw them out… if something happens to them they know where they were drinking and they could lose their liquor license! He didn’t even want to let us sit for a minute to drink water and threatened to get nasty with a 21 year old girl. I don’t even want to come back, and it’s disappointing how with the 2.6 google review rating they don’t want to treat us with any respect while we’re there!

Kicked us out for going outside for fresh air. The manager is rude and cruel, his name was Nick or whatever. He hates young women having fun i guess, unfortunate! Boring + only middle aged lames. Go here if you’re geriatric! And if you’re a woman, be prepared to be assaulted 🫶🏻.

Don’t try and come here from out of state or they won’t let you in. This place turned us away claiming “they didn’t like how our ID’s looked”. We were on vacation from Ohio, we were issued our IDs straight from the BMV; we have never been turned away from any other place in the >4 years of being old enough to get into bars because of how our IDs look. Our IDs look as real as they get because they are real! I understand businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone, but these IDs look, feel, and are completely legit.

I was going here for years and its definitely gone downhill since after covid. Pretty dirty each time Ive gone and plus the bartenders charge me twice the past couple times Ive gone for one drink.. I constantly have to go into my bank to take the charge off.

My wife and I went in October on a Saturday night and had a great time. We arrived around midnight after dancing at Shepherd’s tiki bar before that. DJ was playing good top 40 music (and remixes) that anyone can shake their hips to. This was a much classier place than Ybor City dance clubs. People of all ages were at the Wave. There was no cover charge because it was their off season. Their busy season runs March-Sept and that’s when they charge an entry fee.

This place was SOOOOO much fun and had great music! They also have a dance floor outside which was nice! Both dance floors play different music and there is bars outside as well. The nightclub is right on the beach which was beautiful! It took a little bit to get drinks but they were good! I recommend getting a bucket drink. My friends and I danced the whole entire time, there were some creepy guys here and there but you will find that anywhere. They had security which made me feel secure. I recommend checking the nightclub out!

Lot of potential. But way too pricey for the drinks and service they offer. They might throw you out if you are having too much fun. Pity because they can do a lot more with it. Sad they try do it the wrong way.

Review №12

Its okay but I put like cause they had Jameson Saturdays for only $4. Music wise it was a lot of commercial remixes and not much variety like throwbacks, reggae, etc. Good size club and the crowd full yet not crazy packed by around 11:30-12. I probably wont go back unless theres a guest DJ and/or its not a typical 93.3 night.

OK UPDATE.. well been 3 times now and even must say Dj Kid-Unot has been pretty cool.. Start indoors work outside nice venue, staff great.. They just need to move Sunday special guest DJs to Friday or Saturday :(OK, well anyone who follows me knows I have been to night clubs Atlanta, Orlando, NewYork, Tampa, SF, etc. Saturday 6/30 Night could have gone either way, 3 or 5 stars because based on the time and place I was standing really made that difference. I started out in the Wave then went outside stage. The Wave DJ was kind of Blahhh, didnt mix well, and was kind of not on top of current music but managed to keep my interest. Outside the DJ killed it, love to know who he was BTW. The crowd was mixed classy and not so classy, guess just due to vacationers and locals and some like us, kind of dressed so kind of out of place. All in all Bartenders great in the Wave, bouncers no problem, and people realize they have a tough job to do. I am going to keep trying this place out as my home club and see how it goes. Ill update each visit. So recommend, YES,, just dont expect high end club, flipflops and and beachwear the typical.

The new management team is condescending and act like they are better than ordinary people. Pick another place to go because I would not give this place your money. Shepards Resort is amazing. The Wave has become a complete disappointment. Lets work together to shut them down and show who is really in charge, the consumer.

I called Saturday and spoke to a girl who was EXTREMELY rude. It was our sisters 21st birthday at midnight and we wanted to celebrate at the night club. I called and asked the girl if it’s okay for us to come before midnight then at midnight switch out her wrist band for 21 and up. The lady said “yeah it’s not rocket science” I told the lady that’s was very uncalled for and rude. We just wanted to verify the policy. Our mom then called back and was told if your under 21 you can’t get into the club at all, so apparently not only were we told the wrong info we were also degraded for calling and asking in the first place. This needs to be addressed as it was plain out rude.

Review №20

Too much hype. Overcrowded and over priced. Its ok but the outdoors is better. I dont like that there are so many people stuffed inside and no room to move. Takes forever to get an expensive drink and the bartenders have their favorites they tend to before anyone else. Hate that they allow underage people in. Should be 21 and up every night. At least the outside bars have more service, if it isnt so crowded where you so cant get a drink for the longest time. Better double fist if you dont want to have to wait again for a while. Beautiful location though

Review №22

Waste of time. Staff was incredibly rude to us and others who were very clearly cooperating with them. I understand when dealing with guests who are drinking it can be difficult, however as a sober guest what I observed was rude and uncalled for. Our group is from out of state and they did not recognize our out of state ID’s. Where the first batch of us got sent to the police to check the validity of our cards, the second batch of us was sent straight through. When we cooperated and told the staff that we were okay with allowing law enforcement to scan the cards, we were threatened with a class D felony. Service was slow. Drinks overpriced. Tables were flooring tiles screwed to a table base. The only thing this place has to offer is their band and the fact that they’re the only club in the area. Disappointed.

Saturday night in June, all the clubs and bars were dead. We didnt hop to this place on account of the negative reviews, found them to be without merit.If you want to go dancing in Clearwater this is the place. Maybe the only place!

Beware of the bouncers. I had one purposely snap my ID in half and then called it fake. On top of that he was extremely rude to not only me but to all of my friends from the get go. He didnt even apologize for breaking my only form of identification and then made another excuse to kick out of our group members out so we couldnt get in once he realized he was in the wrong. Sadly too I believe he was the head of security. (Will)Luckily the Manager of the Hotel was nice and made sure we got in the next night for free- but they didnt follow up with the VIP and bottle service they promised us. I was kind of disappointed with that as well.Honestly it was a cool club and the tiki hut was fun but it certainly wasnt worth that much drama. Just save your time and money and go somewhere else.We also ran into groups of 5 or 6 people all of age having the sameProblems with the bouncers and not being aloud in, so it wasnt just us. Its Clearwater Florida, not Panama City beach. (Will) needs to relax a little bit.

Been going there for years...love the music and TVs. The DJs are great. I spend at least $600 every time. The bouncers are great. Waitress and management try to overcharge every time. Watch your receipt! They do multiple charges thinking you wont add it up. The place has so much potential, but horribly managed. Get it right folks and respect your loyal customers and stop thinking everyone is from out of town and you can rob them.

This club does not state anything about having to be 21 and up anywhere on the website. We picked Shepards to stay at for a celebration of 2 birthdays and planned on going to club to celebrate mine and daughters birthday. She is 19 and could not get in because she was not 21. Had I known that I would have never booked to stay here. Very disappointed!!

I spent several hours at this establishment and thoroughly enjoyed myself. One of my underaged friends was hit on by another dude and got 2 free shots. There were some creepy dudes there but we were able to fend them off fairly easily, even though they didnt reciprocate our fist bumps. The beers were cold, water moccasins went down easy, and we danced the night away as part of my brothers bachelor party. Wouldnt have had as good of a weekend without finding this place by accident since the outside stage was 21+ and this place was 16 and under or something...

Review №28

Horrible service were asked to wait to get in then we waited and saw people being let in with no wrist bands in front of us they told us at 1am that we couldnt get in after 20 minutes of waiting. We went to leave and then were physically attacked by the bouncers cause a friend was smoking a cigarette outside while we were waiting for valet. Ive lived in tampa 30 years and never experienced such discrimination. Will never return and will tell everyone how horrible this place is. They literally tried to deny me my vehicle that we were waiting for TO LEAVE!!!!

Review №29

We were wondering why it was so dead and assumed it was because I’m pretty sure the DJ played the same playlist I had at my BatMitzvah 10 years ago... but we later realized it was because the staff are miserable people who like abusing their power by kicking out random people to make an example for underage drinkers. We literally got escorted out because we were chatting with a group of strangers and they were friends with somebody who gave some of their drink to an underage boy. We literally met them 10 minutes before we were forcibly removed from the premises, and hadn’t even purchased a drink from the bar in almost an hour. To matters worse, they didn’t give the underage boy his ID back, claiming they had already given it to him because they made a clerical error and lost it, and decided to just lie and say they had already given it back, taking advantage of the fact that he was drunk. They later realized their mistake and did not take responsibility for the situation they caused. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR SERVICE they do not value customer service and treat all of the patrons like children at a school dance. It is really a shame because it really is a cool club the management is just not worth your time.

Disgusting service. Bouncer was physically threatening my girlfriend. Service is horrible. Club was empty. Cover fee ? Do not waste your time at this club. Also very stereotypical.Such negative vibes & horrible atmosphere. Dont let this place ruin your night out !!! So not worth it, the service will treat you with no respect guaranteed !! Came all the way from New York, to this !?? Dont bother, pure disappointment.

Terrible experience. My boyfriend and I were looking for a fun place to dance on our vacation, me being under 21, it was hard to do. Went on a Friday night, and even at 11pm it was dead other than some cheap looking dancers up by the DJ and a few old people. We decided to make the best of it until I had my arms around my boyfriend and my wrist band was ripped off of me by a guard with no explanation. He just continued to point to the door. I kept asking what I did, no response. He just walked away and tried to get the police to escort me out. Which was totally unnecessary. I was only in there for 40min. Talked to a manager and he said he couldnt do anything. Very displeased and kind of appalled he would rip it right off of my wrist with out even properly approaching me first. Dont waste your money. Also, weed was being smoked and passed around all over the patio and yet I was the biggest concern lol.

The staff was sooo rude. Don’t have too much fun here because they will kick you out when they see you having fun and dancing. And Juana or whatever, the bouncer, was the rudest person I’ve ever met. Should’ve looked at the reviews at first! They won’t even let guys in if they are wearing a tank top but all the girls in there can wear bras!

Review №33

One of the worst “clubs” I have ever been too. The waitstaff and security guards are rude and discriminate. Couldn’t go in because another person I was with was wearing flip-flops, then a gentleman and a female both walked out wearing flip-flops. Then we asked why and they said “it’s different for girls” pretty sexist if you asked me. If you’re thinking about going to waves, I wouldn’t waste your time.

They throw people under 21 out at nine at their outside music venue. Came for a family night out for dinner and music. Spent almost $300 in the couple hours we were there then sent packing. Horrible! Now I know why the low rating. Could be a great space if they new how to treat their guests.

Review №35

Ok I’m one that hates people who write reviews but I really should’ve listened to that 2 star average review because I can’t believe the nerve of this place. I came with two friends, both who are 21 and I myself am 19. My intention was to never underage drink here. My 21 year old friends and I are not from Florida, we live in Michigan, and normally they order more than 1 drink from themselves at the bar back at home. When they ordered three rounds of shots, 2 for the one friend and one for the other, the bartender immediately grabbed security and accused us of trying to buy alcohol for minors. I understand she’s doing her job and could get fired for selling alcohol to minors, but the way it was apparoached was unnecessary. We weren’t even there for five minutes and after being accused for something we weren’t doing, we got escorted out. Look, I work in customer service, I’m not one to complain, but this is as stupid. I called this club and asked for my money back and they told me that I needed to call back the next day to get this straightened out. So I hung up and had my friend call, and then that was when we went back to speak with a manager, who let us back in, however, they would not let us on the upper level of the club because we were labeled as “sketchy” by the bartenders. So we couldn’t even enjoy the club. Spoke to the manager AGAIN because they wouldn’t serve us so we were directed outside so my friends could get served drinks at that bar. I’d just like to point out that the outside was the ONLY nice part of the club. Clubs are dark and have better music. I also would like to point out that I had a few people come up to my group and tell us that this club sucks and to go to another one, which should’ve been our first warning. Actually, the two star warning on your google pop up should’ve been the first warning, but I’m here on vacation and not many places here are 18+ and I was willing to give it a chance. Glad I did cuz like I said, I’m not one to complain on these things and it takes me a lot to get mad, but this club pushed me to my limit. And not only did they do that, but they somehow managed to do it in a span of less than 30 minutes. Oh, also.. we never got our money back :) Have fun whoever decides to come here next!!!

I usually try to give places the benefit of the doubt but this place doesnt deserve that in my opinion. I pay $28 for 4 people and go to the bar to order a drink. I place my order while the other people Im with decide. Shortly after placing my order my girlfriend decides what she wants and at this moment another bartender comes up to ask what we would like. I simply ask for a jack and coke. My girlfriend points out that the girl bartender seems upset. In saying so the guy bartender comes up and tells us we should not order from two different bartenders. We were not doing this on purpose. My girlfriend did not know what she wanted therefore there was a delay. I knew what I wanted so I placed my order. When my girlfriend knew what she wanted the guy bartender asked if I needed anything and I told him what my girlfriend wanted. Then the girl bartender got upset like we did this on purpose. The male bartender then had the nerve to tell us we should not order from two different bartenders. We did not do this on purpose we were simply trying to order a drink. We are paying customers that should not have been hassled like this. I am all about manners. We did not try to disrespect the girl bartender I was just trying to get a drink when my girlfriend decided. When she did decide a different bartender asked if we needed anything and I relayed my girlfriends drink. We did not mean to cause a scene. I just wanted a drink but they made it seem like we were doing something wrong. I will not go back to this place ever again. Its a joke. I personally put myself in their shoes and I would not have done what they did. It was a waste of money. I am not a picky person and I will put up with a lot but this is not something I will let slide.

Worst club Ive been to. I watched security guards/bouncers be very aggressive to women in multiple different instances. From reading the other reviews, it seems like it is clearly not a one-time occurrence. We had to pay a cover fee and the club was empty, now I know why - Treat your paying customers like garbage and they will not be back.

Worst place on earth. Avoid at all costs the music is trash and so are the people. Was there for 5 minutes and got kicked out for “trying to underage drink”. The bouncer literally grabbed me and my friends arms and ripped the wrist bands off. When we had no intention to even drink in the first place. Me and my good friend tried to at least get our money back and the bouncer was rude calling me names. There was a crown outside for people who were also confused why they got kicked out . You’re a security guard at a mediocre club that’s goung out of business stop acting like the damn fbi. This place is literally a scam and the bouncer looks like an virgin lesbian inbread.

I felt attacked by the bouncer! I am a 24 year old woman and he tried to have a physical encounter with me. The bouncer repetitively asked me “if I wanted to fight him” and kept approaching me while i was walking away. I felt threatened. Also the cover charge lady racially profiled my boyfriend and said we have been here before and he is not allowed here, eventhough we have never been to this club and we are both from New York. This club is disrespectful! Never waste your time here!

Review №44

Worst club Ive ever been to. The security guard approached me and my friend and told us one of us had to leave because they saw one of our group sitting on the ground. Many people offering crack cocaine which the management didnt even care about made it very unsettling. Truly a terrible place that only cares about money and not customer satisfaction, please do not give this place your money because they clearly dont value it or the people there.

Review №45

For the reviews and experience it seems to be their policy to throw out kids under 21. My 18 year old daughter and her friends paid the cover, surrendered their licenses and a half hour later while dancing they were told to leave or the police would be called. My theory is that they get their cover charge but since they can’t buy alcohol - force them to leave. I called the manger Jason who said I couldn’t prove the girls didn’t do something wrong or that the bouncer (Dylon) grabbed their arms to rip off their bands and then threatened to call the police. He was so cocky and arrogant - which was the second mistake he made. I wonder how many kids they have they done this too? How many people don’t speak up or do anything about it?

Review №47

I’ve never been so dissatisfied with a service that I felt compelled to leave a review but hey there’s a first for everything.First, the website advertises no cover for 21+, however everyone had at least a $10 charge.Second, and most importantly, the DJ was absolutely trash. I felt I had been transported back to a middle school edm inspired homecoming. He played obscure pop songs from 2008, adding his own terrible beats and sloppy transitions. The beat changed constantly and the songs lacked a consistent rhythm you could actually move to. Most people just jumped up and down.Third, tons of security just standing around staring. Nothing like 30+ year old men watching you dance. They were so creepy and unidentifiable as employees my friend had to ask the bartender if the guards worked there or were just creepily staring.Overall, if you are desperate for a chance to hang with local 17 year olds who managed to find a fake ID and listen to trash edm remixes of your least favorite songs then this is your place!

It was a very bad idea to mess with me. I warned you, repeatedly, that there would be consequences. I gave you many chances to make things right.Shephards is by far the worst resort in Clearwater, and possibly in the country. It all went downhill after the owner died. Shephards was inherited by degenerates who are running it into the ground.These people have no respect for anyone. They absolutely positively should not be in business and the way things are going for them, they wont be much longer. Reckless owners are causing irreversible damage.

Nobody goes here anymore. On their way out of business. They disabled all of their Facebook reviews in an attempt to cover up for their staffs misconduct.Owners are sketchy cowards. Security staff are total creeps. This place should have been shut down years ago. Some new information about their staff is about to be released.One of their drunken staff members MURDERED two people in a dui. And trust me, they have not learned their lesson. They want to learn the hard way. They were given many chances to do the right thing.

Review №53

Worst nightclub ever! Security was very disrespectful to my 21 year old sister! (Called her rude names) They literally took her ENCHANCED I.d (that cost extra money to get in the first place) and told her that it wasn’t her! My sister literally lost 35-40 pounds and died her hair blonde and barley looks like her picture and they told her she was going to go to jail for a felony because the rude ass security guard didn’t “believe her” it’s pretty pathetic that someone can’t change their own body without being the “same person” and the funny part is they were only trying to get into the 18+ club so you would think that if someone was trying to act 21 they wouldn’t care to use it at a 18+ club! Everybody told them that shepherds SUCKED but since they’re from Michigan they said screw it we’ll go check it out, just for my sister to get harassed! DONT GO TO THIS CLUB you might “go to jail” for giving them your actual I.d! And on top of it all they would’ve even give her, her I.d back so thank god she still brought her passport so she can actually fly home and go get a new license which SHE HAS TO PAY FOR BECAUSE THIS STUPID CLUB! Worst club ever!!!!!!!!!! DONT GO!!!!!! Save you money!!

The staff don’t want to be there, and it’s understandable. The patrons are the most unsavoury tourist from all around the states. The prices are pretty standard, but I guess it’s hyped up because it’s the only place to party in Clearwater. The equivalent of a block kraft single cheese in a plate of crackers; it sucks but it’s better than sticking with just crackers

Honestly one of the worst nightclubs ever. The bouncer sucks and the people who work there are creepy as hell and literally watch u the entire time. They kicked me out for no reason whatsoever and the man walked me out and kept his hand on my should after I repeatedly told him to get off me. If you are thinking about coming here I suggest u just stay home for the night. One of the worst experiences of my life.

Wanted to book 3 rooms for 2 nights with a total of 12 people and was told could only book for 3 nights in a row... guess we will take our business else where. This place is low end anyway!

I have only gone to the bars out side with live music and with lots of other people we love it there we always have a great time I recommend it to anyone who wants to go there and have a great time who s not under drinking age and doesnt go there to cause trouble, because then you deserve to get kicked out

This NOT a club for people 18-25. Paid $15 each to get in, was there maybe 10 minutes. It was half filled with people in their late 30s and 40s. Super uncomfortable experience. Don’t advertise as 18+ if your main crowd is a middle aged adult.

It was fine. We went in, paid our cover, and just danced. Bouncers didnt bother us. Nice club.

Horrible service. They don’t keep to schedule. I was asked to leave from asking as question about entry. The bouncer didn’t like my tone apparently. They must be doing very well to be so rude to guests.

Small venue.Has potential but...Starting djs aren’t good.Stick with the genre the main dj is playing.Example: rap music and early 2000s track do not mix at all with edm house music.

Drinks are !!expensive!! and theres never anybody there (unless you go during Spring Break/New Years). I paid a $10 cover-charge to enter Shephards then got into the night-club for free...not worth the money

Watch the bartenders.. they try to rip you off with drinks. Purchase the same drink from the outside bar first and then the inside, the chic outside (the first drink) charged me double then the inside bar.. 🤬

Entry fee is overpriced; especially for the fact, most “headliners” there haven’t had a real career since 2008-2011. Rather save my money and go see an actual artiest.

I was at Shepherds outside downstairs and had actually GREAT service from some female waitress. The shrimp tacos were very good, no complaints! The music however was AT LEAST from 20 years ago, if not 30 years ago. 😶 NOTHING contemporary that I can remember. At least it was upbeat. The crowd or clientele was lame; VERY lame. Nobody remotely attractive seems to gravitate there. 🙄🫢👎👎👎
