Free Entry on Friday Night but expensive alcohol. I didn’t think the alcohol will be more expensive than clubs in San Francisco or Santa Barbara. The club definitely has a young college audience with good music—toast to the DJ. The drawback is there’s a small dance floor, and folks don’t like to dance out here with more energy like clubbers in California. But makes sense if it’s due to the tight space when it’s crowded.The Club has great AC thank god for that.

Went there this weekend for a party. This place is crowded with underage kids all drunk and more. Don’t know why the city has not closed this place down. A guy paid $300 to get in with 6 or 7 kids that in my opinion were minors because the bouncer didn’t scan their picture IDS from what I saw. This place is a kids conner. If you are looking for an adult time avoid this place. I didn’t try their food nor alcohol because I wanted to stay sane just in case the feds come over. But this is a disgrace serving alcohol to teens. It’s filled with minors. Be careful. Dj couldn’t mix maybe it’s just this weekend. Playing music that don’t sync well. Terrible experience

I would give this place 5 stars but it changed for the worse. One time I saw one the security guards sucker punching a customer and knocking him to the ground. I dont feel safe at this bar a lot of ghetto people started going there.

High energy, good music, and a lot of fun! Expect a very (almost too..) young crowd. Be prepared to pay off the bouncers to have a chance to get in, or get a table.

This place very likely circulates minors. Steer clear of it if you want to stay off the police and federal radar. You don’t have to know her age to be a suspect, unfortunately. The girls are clearly look under 18 and it’s actually very nerve racking to watch. Very heavy SMU crowd too.

I don’t know if I will be back after our last visit. We requested girls in the section and they brought over several. However, one of the girls was already intoxicated and was given more drinks (not by us). In addition, she looked like she couldn’t have been older than 17….Very concerning behavior. Turns out someone in my party saw her being carried out after fainting in the bathroom! I hope she didn’t get hurt!

This place is trash it was so many Kids no older than 18 drinks are high as hell $17 for a shot the space was small with nothing but wall to wall minors smoking weed which I couldnt understand because they have Dallas police officers there as well so I couldnt understand how so many minors got in I was there to see rapper big boogie who was supposed to perform he didnt get there till an hour after 2am the club closes at 2am I had to stand from 10pm to about 3am in hells for nothing because wen he did arrive all he did was behind the dj booth and rapped a few lyrics the the last after about 40ims

Review №17

Made a birthday VIP table reservation and while it was very fun and a unique experience, be warned its only maybe half what was described on the website for this type of reservation. The only accurate thing was sparklers, confetti poppers, a lit up carrying case for the bottles, and every once in awhile my name would pop up on the banner screen above the bar. No selfie photo station, decorated table, or the so called “tricks up their sleeve” that they mention at the in their description for this package (To get extra things like the bottle girls being carried out in the cars you have to order a bottle over $650, which they didn’t tell us about until we had already spent the deposit) Not to mention that the section didnt fit the full number of guests that was paid for. But it was nice not having to wait in the long line to get in and being provided a private bouncer for our table.

Very bad bouncers. They make you feel like it is very lucky to get inside the club when it’s actually not. There are much better clubs than this one in Dallas. Stay away and don’t waste your valuable time on this.

Terrible entrance employee. Called in advance to pick up my debit card and short bald skinny white guy didn’t let me in and said that I was trying to sneak in. I gave him all the proof that I called and was he being completely rude and cursed me at the entrance. 0/10 never going back

Review №20

The music sounded great from the outside but it did seem like a super younger demographic; everyone looked a day over 21, if that. My issue is the line was literally not moving and the wait was horrible and I do not like when I see everyone was not treated the same. Dont tell my group that there are no jeans allowed since it is a nightclub but I see other super skinny girls allowed in ripped up jeans just because the know the bouncer. Maybe put up a sign so that people arent waiting over 45 minutes just to be turned away.

Review №21

Went out last weekend with some friends here. Had a fine time, bartenders were attentive and nice. The security staff was really nice. The reason for the 3 stars is because I went to the bathroom and were talking to a group of drunk girls whom come to find out were all 17 and so was their entire group of friends out on the dance floor. After that, I came to find out more than half of the girls I spoke with all night were also under 21. Maybe fake ID checking should be a bit more strict?

Review №22

Looks like a good lit place well packed even full at most times from what I hear but me being a military vet and my first night trying to get in Ive already witnessed security picking and chooses who they let in as well as charging random prices to prioritize who they will let in instead of letting everything be fair game for there customers to wait in line for there turn Ive also seen that theyve let minors in with and without fake ids Im adding a pic of one of the security guards I didnt see the short head of security guy or black older guy with the fro bc they went inside after I said something about leaving my review

Review №24

Night Started off strong. gave the bouncer a fair market value virtual bribe. After getting in, I was impressed by the simplicity. No gimmicks and no personality in the design. Just fun music and a great light show. At one point another patron assaulted my date. I had no choice but to defend her honor. I approached him and started punching him in the face repeatedly. Security came soon after that. I thought I was about to be escorted out. I had no quarrel with the bouncers and I surrendered on the spot. To my surprise, I was given a pat on the shoulder and was told, “ sorry for the inconvenience sir.” I stayed the rest of the night :)

Review №25

Not a great place. My Indian friends and I were kicked out for being “too drunk” and I promise you that we weren’t even drunk. Music was fine but the bouncers were very rude. Younger crowd. I’ve heard this place is racist but I still wanted to try it and I regret it sm - we were literally in there for maybe 30 mins. This place is not it.

Review №26

The club is way too dark. The music was good. The type of people that were there that night seemed younger(early 20s) and very preppy. There’s no dance floor and the vip sections seemed overpriced $500 for a high top table with no chairs. Not worth it at all. The staff was really friendly and attentive but the overall vibe of the club was not comfortable or welcoming.

Review №27

We had a fantastic night. This is our favorite nightclub in Dallas and well deserving of the title. The bottle service, table service and staff are all amazing. Beautiful patio right on McKinney Avenue, excellent valet service and the club is always clean. Very upscale, modern décor.This place gets really packed and hits capacity quickly so arrive early or youre not getting in without booking a table and bottle service, which sell out fast. They really need to actually enforce a dress code policy and filter out the crowd more to keep it upscale, otherwise this place may be headed downhill in the future, just like Sidebar and Level down the street.Drinks are pricey but very well blended and strong. Bartenders, bottle service girls and waitresses are all friendly and gorgeous. Music changes depending on the night, but mainly urban hip hop, club and pop music. DJ should let songs play for more than 30 seconds, which was our main complaint really. Otherwise, the place is nearly perfect. Highly recommended.

Review №29

No stars, not even 1! This place is pathetic, we waited for so long, and entry wasnt permitted while we saw the bouncers allowing some selective people. I m so glad I didnt spend on vip here for my birthday! The bouncers were very rude and uncooperative.For whoever next considering this place looking at their fancy website, I would recommend dont waste your time here. We wasted ours, while we couldve partied more in that same time else where.

Review №30

In reality they should not even be an establishment. The people that work here especially the bouncers are impolite and racist. We waited in line to get in for almost an hour and they kept saying they were at full capacity but letting people in on the other side of the line. If you take a look you can see that only a select few people with certain characteristics were being let in. When I called them out on it he claimed that “I just let in a Mexican so...” This club is a prime example of racial discrimination and I would recommend no one be a subject to this horrific experience.

Review №31

Bouncer charged the guy in our group $60, then we entered and there were literally only 2 other people there looking at their phones. Absolutely not worth the price. I think my friend was overcharged bc he wasnt white. Not worth visiting again.

Beautiful place. Music was great throughout the night. They have a great bottle service experience. The girl took care of us was not pushy at all trying to get is to buy more bottles. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and they put on big production for her. It really made her night. I highly recommend this venue as the goto spot for a great night club experience.

Review №33

What an experience! From the moment we walked in and took a picture in front of their neat quote wall, checked in our coats (so cold outside, it was nice to have a place to put my jacket even thought we didnt have a table this time) Bar is easily accessible and right above it is this massive screen that mesmerized me the whole time. Safe to say I will be partying at this new Dallas hot spot regularly.

I visited on 03/02/2019. We were standing in a line for almost 1 hour and 30 minutes and on asking how much more we have to wait to bouncer Mike, he was shouting on us and on the other side he was allowing girls to go inside and others who were giving him bribe in the name of tip. Think what? We decided to go another club. Such a racist employees and we decided never to go again in this club. I wish I can give them 0 star.

Review №35

Horrendous place they steal your ID and credit card, I would reccomend putting in a complaint to the city,there bond,there licensing issuance agency if you were ever robbed at his place. They have young immature employees who jump bars to attack customers, bouncers are unproffessional, rowdy overfilled underage crowd, someone needs to call the fire marshall. No toilet paper in stalls. They have an older lady working for tips who gives out paper towels in the bathroom

Review №36

I thought that this would be a great club but honestly its one of the most pretentious. I was standing in line because I thought that it was worth it. But then it started raining. Little did I know the bouncer actually told me that the management was not allowed to let people in. This bar/club does not care about you. All it cares about is looking like that it is the place to go. I have never went to this club till tonight. After waiting 30 minutes in the pouring rain of Dallas I will never go here again. Please save your money and do not go here

Review №37

The only upside was that they played good music. After waiting an hour in line (they opened 30 minutes late), they let 20 guys aged 18-19 cut in front of everyone because they paid the bouncers. A girl in front of me said something about it and the only reply she got was “money talks”.

Me and all of my friends got our wallet and keys stolen here, after talking around we found out that this has been happening ALOT here. Be super careful with your bags!!

Review №39

I was on a date and he picked this club. I would have never went if I looked at the reviews. A lot of young kids but we made the best of it. If it wasnt so cold I would have just left and walked around the town rather then being in this place. Like most places Ive been in dfw a bunch of stuck up ppl with no real reason to be. The tall white guy letting ppl in thinks he is hot ish for no reason. My date and I had a good laugh about him. People who treat others like trash to boost their own low self confidence always give me a good laugh. A lot of comments say its a racist place. I did get that vibe but I get that from many places in dfw. This whole area is trash to me. People keep blaming it on ppl from Cali but the ppl from Cali are actually pretty polite from my experience. Its the dfw natives that are just rude all the time with no manners.

This place is awesome. Super cool atmosphere, fun music, the whole set up is great. The cocktails are very sweet and bust their butt to make sure you’re taken care of. I highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting a Dallas club experience or even if you wanted to rent out the venue for personal events :)

On 7/21 at around 1am I went to Theory. I had a good time otherwise than the the bartender on the side closest to the entrance of the bar with the beard lost my card. I had asked for it and when he couldn’t find it, he blatantly based it on me being drunk—I had only ordered a single drink and was sober at the time. Eventually, he found my card but then blamed it on me being on the other side of the bar—an area that I’d never entered as my friends where celebrating their birthdays near the entrance. Whoever the bartender with the beard that night was (every other bartender was cleanly shaven for the most part) provided the worst service I’ve ever had at a club.Otherwise, the atmosphere was great as well as the special effects and ceiling projections.

Review №42

Theory, the ABSOLUTE worst place on Earth. If you enjoy wasting your time in line for hours, this is the perfect place. This girl almost got arrested by the bouncer after she told him that he’s rude. There’s Ohio, then there’s hell, and then there’s Theory. Biggest fade of the century.

Review №43

The one bouncer. He would allow girls to jump the line and enter without IDing them, and would only allow guys in if there was a minimum 1:1 ratio of guys to girls in their group. He actually made entire groups separate to ‘preserve the ratio’ and wouldn’t allow guys to enter for the same reason. Wish I had my money back.

Review №44

Avoid bottle service at this place!!! This place ended up charging twice on one card but tried to charge it three times and gave themselves $100 tip on the card. Then tried to do the same on a different card but luckily that card locked it himself from recognizing the shady movement the waitress was attempting.

Men, dont bring your women here. My fiance and I were kicked out aggressively for no reason at all as I walking her to the bathroom watching over her.

Review №49

Waited in line for 45 minutes. At around 25 minute mark, a random line started on the left side entering the club pretty much full of white kids (I have never seen a more segregated entrance at a club, and I’ve lived in Austin the last few years which is literally a club paradise). It’s like they decided to create their own line, but I figured you know what, maybe I just chose to come to the wrong line and they’re just college kids looking to have fun. Let it slide it’s fine. Then, for the next 20 minutes, not a single person from the right side was let in. Literally, the bouncer wouldn’t even acknowledge anyone from the right side and only let in white kids from the left. Then he started telling people who started getting angry, “You don’t have enough Instagram followers”. That’s when my group and I decided to leave. This place is a joke. I think Dallas as a whole has always had a bad night-life scene and I grew up here so I’d know, but this topped the cake. This place was literally nothing compared to what I’ve seen before, in the worst way.Racist club, racist bouncer, therefore racist owner. Not enough instagram followers? You’re a club in Dallas, not Cali. I have nothing against white people or anything, but when racial discrimination is being shown in such an obvious way, time to shut it down. Don’t believe me? Look at the gallery on google photos, notice anything? All white. Worst club in metroplex, don’t waste your time.

Believe the reviews of racism being an issue at this club. They were racist before the name change. Myself and others were participating in the bar crawl that they would participate in and once we made it to this particular club the men who were with me could not enter due to wearing tennis shoes, but on the patio sat Billy and John who happen to be wearing Nike Airmax....last time I checked those were tennis shoes as well.

Review №59

Came here for the A-Trak performance...interesting to compare this place to Hakassan for Tiesto in Vegas where I was a week earlier. First off, $20 cover...too pricey for a bar(calling this a club is a disservice, when there are real nightclubs with good acoustics, etc) for A-Trak who showed up very late. Second, and the reason for the 1-star review...$4 for a plastic cup of TAP WATER. Vegas, known for its insane club drink prices, charged avg of $6 for BOTTLED water. But yet, here I get to pay $4 for pristine Dallas tap water. I would understand a $1 charge to cover the cost of the cup & make a 100% profit margin. But $4 is greedy and Im never coming back.The bouncers were all friendly, and the bartenders were OK, but management is definitely greedy. Moreover, the drinks are watered down too, glad I didnt pay for that after getting ripped off with the water.

The tall man at the entrance, named Mike, picks and chooses who to let in. It’s a circus. The line is just a crowd of people desperate to get his attention. Some people wait over an hour and pay $40, others get in for free immediately. This is not how you run a business.
