Been coming here for years! I swear it gets better every time I go! Wonderful and caring staff and the bartenders on the lower level are always attentive and willing to put a drink I never tried before in my hands! Delicious! Music truly keeps up with whats good today, and theyre not afraid of a couple throwbacks here and there. Will always recommend! Cover charge was $20 originally, but I was able to get on the guest list by RSVP-ing online on their Facebook, and got in for half off.

I didn’t even realize this place was still open. Are used to go there when I was a teenager back in the late eighties/early 90s. Back then it was a great club. Might have to just go check it out if it opens again.

If I could give this club 0 stars, I would.First of all, I had arrived at the location with a buddy of mine, and we had signed up earlier for free entry due to our birthdays being in May. Upon arrival, I was advised that the Birthday Bash was next week, and not that night. I had showed him the email that had originally given me the mindset that I would not have to pay cover charge, and he started arguing with me, telling me that I read the email wrong. The email had been split up into many different sections, and the first flyer on the email was for that night, and underneath it was for the free birthday entry. Nowhere in the free birthday entry section had a different date for that, and it correlated with the flyer for that night.My buddy and I still ended up paying because we had already traveled an hour to get there.Upon entering the club, we had come to find most of the people there on all types of drugs, dancing by themselves in a weird way. Most of the girls there also came there with their boyfriends, while others were just dancing in groups and not separating.After 10 minutes of being there, my buddy and I had gone back to the front to request a refund, and were denied right away. This establishment doesnt care about customer service at all, its like they avoid it at all costs. When I had stated why I wanted a refund, he stated that 600-800 people come here every night and dont complain and ask for a refund. In short, I will never be coming back here again, and I will definitely make sure to inform my friends about this experience.

DJ was good, sucks that the place could have been organized better. It really only had one main focus so if youre not in the circle it was dead. Then when you in the circle you literally have no sort of room whatsoever. So much space in there that isnt being used properly. Compared to other clubs Ive been to

This club needs to find better DJs. I sadly did not have fun. I get that there’s several age groups allowed but, the music was terrible. Advice have more variety of music including Spanish music. One of the hosts said he would give half of what we paid to Australia. So I expect it to go to Australia if not they look bad for it. Ah ha...

Place is a freaking joke and I guess for anyone under the age of 21 its ok. Has no big DJs, drink prices are not proportional to city entrance pricing, and the worst is that anyone under 21 who usually goes is ratchet and doesnt understand proper club attire. This club, whoops not a real club, is filled with ratchets and degenerates with no standards.

Havent been to this place since 2014 but man those were the days. A lot of easy women to pick up on the dance floor/bar and a great vibe all around. I always left the club with one or two women on around my arm. Also the dancer lindsay if she still works there was like a gift from god himself she was so sexy (Hooked up with her one night). She would always dance on the table and get the people going wild and crazy. I miss her.

Everytime I go the staff are always polite and very nice. The people who go can sometimes dull the night down but I have made a few good friends. The drink prices arent terrible excpet for a bottle of water. Overall I always have a good time when I go.

If you dont know about events going on, you might be thrown off about this club. Friday nights are 21+ with a Latin theme. Saturdays in the summer (now) are EDM/dubstep/festival type scene upstairs (17+ but has a 21+ bar on the 3rd balcony) which is very alternative looking I you do not understand the scene. On the first Friday of every month there is a Dark Wave theme/ Gothic theme. However JET night club 21+ on the first level is more normal appearing with more normal looking people. It is a great spot if you are open minded (more liberal). Drinks are good with club pricing ($5-8 for vodka not too bad), staff is friendly, security is professional and serious. Free Birthday accommodations for free drinks must be arranged in advance and are only before midnight or earlier! Bottle service is available upon request for about $150 bottle and up.

If youre going for the Halloween costume contest - DONT DO IT!!!!!They lured us in with the promise of $1500 in cash and prizes a couple years ago and they never actually held the contest. We kept asking the staff when it was going to happen and no one had any idea what we were talking about. I think they may be scamming people to get more people in the door.In any case, the bar was lame and it wasnt worth our time. Id suggest going somewhere else.

My friends and I went to Medusa for my friends 17th birthday. What a disappointment. It is NOT worth the money. Trust me dont waste your time and money. As soon as we walked in, bunch of creepers were grabbing us. We told security and the security told us Its a nightclub what do you expect? wow I was shocked at the comment. NEVER ever went back there. Also the place smelled so bad.
