β€œCons” They can easily put electric fans inside of these sections - it is hot as heck inside here and you want to tell me they can’t install electric fans inside of these sections? Just poor setup to be honest.β€œPros” The pool party is fun the atmosphere is big nice swimming pool in the middle DJ stage is big.

This club was recommended by two friends, so when a member of my group suggested we go to ClΓ© instead of Bloom, I was all for it.Parking varies, its anywhere from $20-$100. I think $100 is ridiculous but you can find street parking. The bartenders were good and mixed good drinks. They didnt over charge as some bartenders do.We went for the lingerie contest. My old modeling agent had 6 of his girls entered into the contest. They were all beautiful and it was a great time. Since two of his clients had a table each, my friends and I didnt have to get one. The tables they had were between $1000-$4000. My friends and I danced most of the time so we didnt sit down.The music was great most of the time. They did a variety which included, old and new school hip hop, edm, and latin music.

Sophisticated. Upscale. Remarkable. These are words that accurately describe this club. On entering, I immediately noticed the pool area which was lit both literally and figuratively with a general chill vibe. Inside was upbeat and vibrant with mostly EDM during my visit. We easily got drinks at the bar, and partied the night away with a fun crowd. Dress code was strictly enforced, so go there in style for a good time.

AMAZING. My friends and I came from Wisconsin to see Tiesto here. We ended up running into one of the owners and he was nothing but amazing to us. The vibe at this club is unreal. The pool party was everything I could ever wish for. ALL the bartenders and employees were so unbelievably friendly to us. This is the best club experience I have ever had.

Ive read thru these reviews and was worried of attending the Erotic Ball last night. Glad to say my wife and had a blast. We were treated with the upmost respect walking thru the door til we left. There club is superb and definitely a reminder of Vegas. Drinks were a little pricey but they were strong and good. The best bartenders. We didnt see anyone hassled about their attire. A+ Classy club and well definitely return in the near future. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Will not be back. We paid $2500 for booth. The security charged each of us $20 for hat, and he charge me illegally $60 because I couldn’t find my Id. 30 seconds after he illegally took my $60 I found my id in my back pocket. He would not give me my money back. I will be filing charges. And complaining to the police about underage activities. Other than that. The djs was lit. The vibe was lit. The servers took care of us and all around we had a good time. But I’m not letting this ish with security go. I’m taking to the fullest extent of the law cause yall got me messed up.

Beautiful venue. If youre looking to get great pics and enjoy a pretty location then this is the place for you. The pool makes a unique backdrop. They definitely nailed the Vegas vibe. Drinks are overpriced but thats true at any club.

Went for the night club, which is a drastically different place than the day club. Better than Pretty Liar and decorum (pour behavior). Its got a better layout with a more focused dance floor and MUCH better acoustic design. The speakers are thankfully better than they need. This is not a walkable club like 77 degrees, its in the same situation as Barbarella, so plan accordingly.The security was perfect, it wasnt over-protective, but they rooted out weeds quickly. Definitely a fun place worth checking out.One thing to remember is to dress elegantly... Even if it is a rap or deep underground techno artist is playing. This is strictly enforced and is part of what makes this place a bit unique... Its clientele and crowd management transcends the artist. Unlike Stereolive where the artist determines who shows up. If you like rap or techno, but dont like rap and techno crowds this is the place for you. It does mean its not the ideal place to fully experience your favorite rap/edm artist in their native environment. But at least its a fun place, unlike Decorum, where the DJs dread every second.About 10% of the dancefloor requires earplugs. Its a big place with high ceilings so the volume drops off quickly with distance. But if you like bass... That 10% is very good. Not as good as Sekais floor shaking bass, but the balance is far better. It is far quieter than the second floor of Bauhaus, where the whole room is earplug level. Its effectively about the same as the new Stereolive system.

Ended up being assualted while not looking by their door security while waiting for my car to be pulled around by their valet. We were not in any physical altercation with them and were leaving as requested, so this was unwarranted, and I will be taking legal action.

My friends and I loved the experience we had at ClΓ©! Tiger Lily was DJing that day & she was amazing. We arrived about 5 PM & everyone was having fun and the drinks were good! We drank Long Island Ice Tea which were about $15 each & took shots. They also serve tacos for about $4 or $8 each if you’re hungry. You can swim in their pool which is a good size pool. The water was crystal clear blue like Miami! You can get a section on the bottom level or top if you like. The session was about $1500, but it’s worth it! Be prepared to dress nice like summer wear or in a swim suit because this place is all about it! They had dancers and a hula hoop girl! This is my type of scene ❀️

Saw Borgore here on a Friday night in April. It was a good time! The dress code was casual, thankfully, so didn’t have any issues with that. Definitely recommend looking up the dress code for your event BEFORE you go because they really are strict about that sometimes. The drinks are expensive, but that’s expected. It’s honestly a really nice venue with a beautiful staff. This was my first time here, but I think it’d be an awesome day-party spot too.

I had fun! But not until around 12:30, thats really when people started to show up. It is a $20 dollar cover charge though. Cool atmosphere but not alot of space to dance, its mostly for birthday celebrations as they had a lot of rounded couch seats for groups to sit in. It is about $15 dollars per drink, expect to spend here! Other than that I had fun dancing with the lights and smoke machines!

Worst experience ever! A group of friends and myself visited this place for best friend birthday. The valet parking is way too expensive $30 for this place. The valet staff are not friendly. The bartenders are great but everyone else is horrible. My friends and I were standing on the steps that go down to the dance floor area. Mind you there is another group of pretty Caucasian girls standing in the same area across from us on the stairs. The male β€œbouncer” told our group that we couldn’t stand on the stairs but not once told the other group of girls to get off the area. The bouncer even told me β€œMove or I’ll make you move.” He is 3 times the size of me so I didn’t want to argue so we moved. I felt we were discriminated because we were Latin group and LGBT. DO NOT go to this place. The service is terrible.

I would give it a 0 star if I can. Worse place to come. I was on the guest list. I was about 5-6 minutes late and they charged me $100 in the front. Got kicked out due to my card declining at the bar. Not sure what the issue was. I had enough funds. Two Hispanic female bar tenders called security. He escorted me out. As I was waiting for my Uber outside one of the bouncers he was β€œblack” told me to move and called me broke a**. He was really trying to fight me for no reason. I was being very chill. He even called the cops on me and they didn’t do anything since I was sober and I was being chill. This place is full of bad customer service. Bouncers are rude & bar tenders are rude as well. They just want your money. Checked my bank account it showed that my transaction went through after all. I still got kicked out though. I contacted one of the managers. Explained what happened. He didn’t even apologized to begin with. He did refund me my money though. I really hope he shows this review to his staff. Because they will know who they are. This incident happened at the pool party yesterday around 4:30pm. But I will never come back here. Poor customer service. Very unprofessional.

UPDATE: THEY CHANGED THEIR NAME BUT THE SAME NARRATIVE APPLIES. This establishment is blatantly racist and surprisingly a lot of minorities come here for the pool parties. They don’t want minorities at this place of business at all. Look at their Instagram. They purposely don’t take pics of all the minorities that attend due to not wanting to attract that type of crowd. There are other clubs with pools in the area that I would be happy to give my money to. I should’ve paid attention to their Instagram a lot more before stepping foot into this place. How do you have days where the majority of the customers attending are minority but NEVER upload pictures of them. Huge red flag!!! Stop supporting businesses that do not want you there!! How many of their are employees minorities that they don’t even take pictures of??!!

Extremely rude staff at front door. Berated me and my friend in a condescending manner because we walked past him with our IDs out while he was yelling β€œIDs out” to people. Thought he was just telling us to get prepared (because there was another checkpoint further in where we did show our tickets/IDs). Bottle girls are rude too when moving through crowds. Yelling, pushing, and just being disgusting to paying customers.Edit on 7.6.23 since clarification was asked for: There was a man yelling IDs out to everyone and he was loitering around the front of the building. My friend and I had our IDs out and walked past him as others were doing too, to which he responded by berating us. He stopped us and looked at our IDs and we were then stopped again to have our IDs checked by other people. It seems that he was on a power trip and chose to target and yell at us even though we were doing as others were. Your business responses to all of these are quite passive aggressive and you seem to withhold apologies even though your customers are what keep your business alive. Terrible, clown-like management.

Do not visit this place, we came out of town for a concert. On their website it was announced doors open at 8 pm, we got there at 7 pm and got in line, at 9:15 bouncers came out to put barricade without talking the people that were standing outside. Then at 9:30 they announce that we would have to get into a new line which cause that most people that had just gotten there to skip to the front and just at 10 pm we were able to go in. Everything got congested and they didn’t even care. Did not talk to anyone and made it clear that they did not wanted to talk to anyone. This is the worst experience I’ve ever had, I’ve been to concerts in clubs in the Houston area and have never had such a bad experience.The only person that was nice to us was Trent with security and he is one that deserves the one star I’m giving this place.

Where to start I used to love going there till the staff turned sour . It’s pretty much wanna be a Vegas pool party I think they forgot they are in Houston. Shame some great djs get booked here to endure a mediocre party I am glad other edm options are opening. Their screens are outdated, visuals not captivating enough, opening locals ain’t setting the vibe right cos I couldn’t wait for the headliner to pop up. Want better fun? Spend your money at stereo they got some nice AC and better drink prices

So I’ve been reading so many bad reviews, but I’ve been here 3 times in the past couple of months (From Dallas) and every time my experience has been phenomenal.I’ve seen reviews talking about Discrimination Againt Minorities etc and I am one myslef. Never have I felt any kind of discrimination, and this place is super divers! All kinds of ethnicities.Some people complain about not getting let in for dress code, but it does state on the flyer β€œPool party Attire” which means obviously don’t wear Jeans or some cloths you would take to the mall, it’s a pool party take pool cloths.Drinks are not the cheapest or most expensive, bars are always kind of full depending on the artist playing, good staff, friendly bartender,Bouncers keep to themselves and never bother you,Music is LOUD AS HELL tho I HIGHLY recommend eat protection, as you could go deaf litteraly. If you stand on the floor derectly infront of the artist.Great place for great vibes and music, drinks, and a splash, Great EDM music artists such asTiΓ«sto,Fisher, vintage culture, meduza, Chris lake, etcI recommend this for anyone that wants to have a good time, like I stated been here 3 times and each has been a good experience so far. Will definitely continue to come.

Worst experience ever! I paid a deposit for a section for a pool party and the event was canceled due to weather. I was told that I would receive a refund and have yet receive one. The event was canceled on 4/8. It’s been a week. I cannot get in contact with the waitress whose name is Emery and no one in management. This is unacceptable and terrible business to not refund someone for a service they did not receive. Definitely will not visit ClΓ© or any other nightclubs within this group.

Cle used to be my spot. Not anymore. This place is full of rude staff. They need to hire new bouncers. They are the rudest. They also need to treat women with respect!!! But whats management going to do? This place is horrible. No wonder everyone in these reviews say the same thing about the bouncers. They need to go find some help. Ive gone to other bars and clubs where bouncers treat you with respect at least. I dont recommend anyone to visit this club. Especially if youre visiting Houston. I recommend Conejo Malo or the New Standard

I went asking the dancers where the black girl went. I really liked her for representing. Plus she was so awesome. My friends and I loved watching her. She put lots of energy into it.Well cle needs to check whoever is in charge of those dancers. I was told she left because of racism and being replaced by girls with a lighter skin tone so the club doesnt come off racist. What kind of bull is that!!?!?!

On 4/1 at the day party I paid 25.77 for a general admission ticket online and when I got to the door i was over charged an additional $40 that i was told would be refunded....while i was walking into the womens restroom the darkskinned male bouncer standing guard at the womens restroom snatched me up and shoved me for no reason at all and Told me i couldnt use the restroom. The restroom was not closed and if it was he could have said that without putting his hands on me, My other friends stepped in and he let us in only to disrespect us, call me a b**** and threaten to remove us from the bathroom if we did not hurry up. If you want to be manhandled by ugly bouncers with fragile overinflated egos then you should go to Cle. I was super disappointed for my first visit and i cant wait to speak with someone who can rectify this for me.

Reserved VIP table/bottle service for Jack Harlow show. Really cool decor, staff the night of the show was great, and the section was perfect. The disconnect seems to be a management issue. Communication prior to show was not great. I gave a deposit which was actually the total amount I was quoted for the section I reserved. I called to confirm everything a few days before the show and was told my authorization forms hadn’t been received AND they would be raising the minimum for my section (like by A LOT!). I was charged but wasn’t told the price wouldn’t include tax or gratuity so had a hefty balance upon arrival to the show. We had a great time, and as stated before, staff was amazing. Performer only came out for 15 minutes though which hardly justifies the increase I paid for the section. Also was told at one point that I had to allow 10 people from the stage into my section (which I said yes), but again, took away the value of the incredibly high minimum I paid. Cool place, but won’t waste money on bottle service there again.

Horrible place! Yes I know they have good DJ’s but for a black bounce to call a beautiful Hispanic female β€œbroke ass” and tries to fight her outside the club is unacceptable. She even told me he called the cops on her and the cop spoke to her very nice. Walked her into her Uber car made sure she made it inside safe. But my point for him to call the cops on this beautiful young lady. I’m pretty sure he treats every female the same way. He needs to be fired and find some help. She told me she wasn’t able to get his name. But I’m sure Cle will find out who he is. Can’t believe cops and cle owners allow this club to treat guest like this. Next time this happened I soo make a police report about this place. All we need is the name of that black guy who treated my home girl very poor and wanted To box her outside of cle. He knows who he is. Short about 5.8ft inches . And still had the audacity to call the cops on her in front of her face!!! Yes please close attention to who he is. He will admit himself . She even said she took a pic of him and that’s when he called the cops on her when she was sober . She got kicked out on her first drink in. He will know who he is . And hopefully get fired from here. You rasist people!!!! Keep it going !

Very nice club - ClΓ©! As we all know if you are taking the time to read this post that clubs can be hit or miss! ClΓ© was definitely a hit IMO! The layout and atmosphere was unique and added to the cachet of the club! I would recommend a section as this club appears to be on the upper end of establishments that I have visited thus far during my short time in Houston! Although a section was not needed on the Saturday night I most recently attended it would be recommended; but with enough liquor in you with the right amount of friends around you can do without lol. You will have a wonderful time! Check it out if this is your thing.For those that are experts here, I am not much of a club goer but had a solid time here!

Ive been to this club many times and its always fun. I arrive there early just to chill and relax before the fun begins. Which is usually around 12 and thats ok. Their communication team was really good when I had some weird transactions from the place and they got back to me fast and they were very open about what happened. I didnt have any worry about it. The club is legit. I havent seen any discrimination when I went and the party was really fun. Maybe the old reviews may stick but its not what its is now. So if your in Houston give it a shot.

First of all the girls there are super rude and so are the male staff. Second of all the bar lost my friends card at the bar and after the club they shoved everyone out into the rain. This club does not care about the customers one bit. Granted it was a very packed night since Trippie Redd had came but still..there should be some type of training or hospitality. ClΓ¨ won’t be getting our service ever again until the staff learn how to stop being rude. I was shoved by both male and female workers and all I did was stand there. Some of the female workers were also very territorial over the restroom since I guess that is where their dressing room is. The next time ClΓ¨ hold an event like that be ready for a lot of people and train your staff to act more like a club not a bunch of high school girls.

Turn your music down or I will continuously call the cops on your business and apparently I’m not the only one the two times I’ve called the dispatch tells me without even asking that there are other complaints and waiting on a unit to go out. There is a complex directly across from you and you know that, if you have no consideration for us that are directly facing you I will have no consideration and make sure you get fined every chance I get meaning every night of the week that you are operating.

Went to see Kaskade and of course he was amazing and the decor was great but the indoor venue was horribly set up in regards to people in the VIP getting bottle service.

Horrible place to come. I use to come to Cle a lot. I got kicked out for no reason. One of the bouncers tried fighting me outside knowing I was a female he didn’t care. He provoked me for no reason. Cursed me out as I was waiting on my Uber. I even kept my smile. Pretty sure he knows who he is. He even played the victim and called the cops on me and I laughed in front of him. I knew I wasn’t doing anything wrong. So I told him to do so. But management won’t address it. Cannot believe Cle allows this. Very unprofessional. They need to hire new staff. Starting with the bouncers and bar tenders. After speaking to Dallas not sure if he’s part of management or one of the owners- he didn’t even apologize from his part. Pretty sure that rude bouncer is still working there. Unprofessional. Also, cle steals your money too. I was about 5 minutes late for the guest list and the girl in the front still charged me $100. She didn’t care if it was 4:05pm. There was a long line when I arrived. Don’t recommend anyone to come here. There are so many night and day clubs you can go to. This is not the spot anymore.

The worst club ever. We were on public dance area but they asked us to leave because a guy asked the security to move us away from their table. We were not in private area. They pushed me and my face touched the exit door. Can you believe it? A very tall black guy pushed a girl. We were not even drunk. Worst club ever. Zero star. They just care about VIP people. If you are not VIP do not go there. Horrible place.

Review β„–57

ClΓ©, what can I say. It’s a fancy overpriced bar that prides itself on being a faux Vegas or Miami club. Cover fees can be a bit astronomical at times, dress code is strict, and the club itself can feel small when you get inside the dance floor area. I’m not a club person so I’m already a bit biased against this place but my experiences there have been about what I expected. Music was alright, drinks were pricey, people were okay, and club cleanliness was better than some other clubs I’ve seen and been to. I give it 3 stars because of how expensive it is, it’s location (next to all the aggressive hobos), and small dance floor area. I’m sure if I went to their pool days it would be more fun but this is an honest opinion about the regular nights they have.

I tried to reserve a table for a performance at Cle Houston Nightclub tonight, March 18th 2022. I dealt with the promoter, named Shannon, who engaged in highly manipulative and deceptive sales practices in connection with the owners. Basically, they quoted me a price of $2,500 for my confirmed reservation, charged my credit card, then shopped the reservation around to others after it was reserved while threatening me with cancellation unless I came back with a higher competing offer. This place is selling tables under the premise of a reservation and when in reality it is an auction - completely misleading and fraudulent. This incident has been reported to the Federal Trade Commission because if they handle guest reservations this dubiously, I can only imagine what else they do.

I just went to cle to see kaskade. I was so anxious because of the reviews; however, it was a lovely experience. Everyone was very polite from the bouncers to the bartenders. Again, these reviews almost made me not buy tickets to the show. People were definitely dressed up, but they also let people more casual in. However, I came right at open so maybe some of the stuff people are talking about happened later in the night. Shots were $14 and beer $8.

THE WORST STAFF!!!! Very rude and inconsiderate. The girls are rude and only care about the people that are throwing money at them. The bartenders are awful, I kept my tab open and when I went back to close they told me they didn’t have my card and that there was nothing they could do about it. Way better places to go in Houston, don’t waste your time and money.

Great, fun vibe. Clean. Great looking help and clientele. Ive had not problems at all with any doormen. They have a nice secondary room where you can actually go have a conversation and still hear the music. Outside pool is a nice addition. Just wish they had pool parties on Saturdays too.

A lot of bad reviews regarding race are more than misleading. Girlfriend and I, are an average looking, middle class, black and Hispanic couple who had no problem getting in a big event. Yes, they have a strict dress code, so no tennis shoes. Men, were nice jeans, button up and decent dress shoes and youll be fine! This place is very similar to Vegas!!

I took a last minute trip to see a concert here, not knowing what to expect (the website is pretty vague), but it turned out to be one awesome place. Although you want to be outside primarily, they have plenty of interior, air-conditioned space too. The main area outside and the pool is a really cool place to hang out, especially for a concert. I will be going back the next time I’m in Houston.

They get legitimate negative reviews removed somehow, so the actual rating is probably 1.5 stars. I cant remember my whole review, but long story short is that I bought tickets to an event and drove three hours, then they didnt let me inside because they didnt like my pants. Lets be clear, they were a plain black color. Meanwhile they let some ridiculous looking fruitcake inside who was wearing nothing below the waist but skin tight leopard print leggings. This venue should be banned from any online ticket sale services because it pretends to be an ordinary venue and uses that as a pretext to take your money. Thats obviously fraud.

One of the worst clubs I have ever been to. Not only is the layout weird, but even when you start to enjoy the music the bottle service line and security come pushing through every 5 mins killing the vibes you have attempted to build. This place is all about the image of money and has no authenticity to it whatsoever. Deadmau5 was supposed to play here Dec 30 but even he didnt seem to vibe with the place because his music was absolutely terrible. I will never support this place, please dont waste your money!Edited to say: this places management is petty enough to tell me MY opinion is wrong so its just more of a reason not to even give this establishment a single thought if you truly value your time and money πŸ‘ so screw you ClΓ¨, you can sink for all I care.

Upon getting there, we tried to get a drink at the bar outside. All of their taps were not working, and the tiny beer selection that they had was in a fridge that wasn’t even plugged in so the beer was hot.This place is WAY too small to host big name artist. Bottle service happens way too often so you constantly have to make room for the clan of bottle people to come through.Bad vibes all around.

If you can get in this club great, yet I heard the staff inside is just as rude as the outside staff. Beware!! My group and I waited in line like we would at any other club if we needed to, dressed as required. We were not far from back in line and waited an hour before giving up on this place. The bouncers were rude and didnt care who you are or who you already had inside unless you wanted to pay them $$. Honestly, if you are looking for a great night out with friends to drink and hear good music there are so many other nice, fun, friendly clubs to go to. Dont stop here!

I give it a 2 for trying. I understand trying to present an upscale vibe, but there is nothing upscale about waitresses walking around with their butt cheeks hanging out.

I went to order a Glen Morangie scotch neat and the bartender told me $54 dollars. I told the bartender I can get a bottle of 12 year GM for that price. Trying too hard.

Disrespectful door and valet staff... if you want a prolonged successful establishment, you need to have a professional staff and decent customer service. If you dont go there bragging about who you are or who you know, you will not get in easily. I know people that work at Cle and im a manager at a VERY POPULAR hotel in Houston, but I will never make a phone call to get in anywhere. Its not necessary for me to pull out out my phone to make a call to spend money in such a distasteful establishment. I will also not refer this place to my guest, visitors, or clients.

It was a bad experience from the time we walked in until we left! You definitely see the discrimination in that place. I have only dealt with discrimination once in Houstons night life. At this spot that hold you at the door like there is a packed house in there but only 10 people. Then let all kinds of folks with flip flops and shorts in before you and your party who looks amazing and overdressed to be in there. When you try to get a section and managers and hostess ignore you as if youre not trying to spend money with them. It was an overall bad experience and I will never go there again!

Went there to see an EDM concert and the doors to get in did not open until an hour after the stated time on the ticket. Wouldnt be an issue if it wasnt 100 degrees outside, and they didnt offer anyone water. Get into the main area and the management was still setting up the stage and other festivities so the dj was delayed getting on stage (unprofesional imo). Drink prices are higher here than at most other midtown bars. Overall, there are other, better bars/clubs in midtown for you to go and have fun, so I do not recommend this club.

I personally feel as if they treat black people a certain type of way if they THINK you don’t have money.. lol… Making this a choice last minute I would have definitely opted in to staying home if I knew what was ahead of us… The process to get in was horrible, They gave my guy a hard time because of his shoes but let 3 others in after him with the same ones… (They wasn’t black tho so I understood) After paying an additional fee under the table (which was definitely illegal) we was able to get in.. Spent almost 1k at the bar for some watered down drinks, the employees bumping into you trying to get to the party that bought the bottles…. This is definitely a remake of β€œDrink Houston” to me.. Sad to say we won’t be back, not because of the employees but because the way we were treated in the beginning.. As a business owner I am big on first impressions and you guys definitely failed… Anywho Happy NΓ©w Year πŸ’•In response to your reply who are THEY!!!! whoever you have running your door and the other race (not African American)… it’s not way off especially when you go down the reviews and see the same issue.. Instead of being defensive Mr or Mrs owner you should talk to your staff and find better means of customer service… The city makes you money don’t hurt your pockets…Again me plus 5 won’t be back so I’m sure my review doesn’t matter….

Pretentious bouncers who arbitrarily decide who can who can enter. Came with a large group of people and they let in everyone except for my husband, who has a beard. Their rule, no beards that night. Those who were let in tried to lobby for his entrance to no avail. All because of a beard. Go down to another club that recognizes religious freedom. To be clear: we all knew where we were going and dressed appropriately. The car, the clothes, the money, none of that was the problem. Just his beard, which he had trimmed the day before just in preparation for a night out. Go to another place and have more fun.

I need management to make an official drink menu ASAP, posted online and right in-front of the bars. Me and my friends did a little experiment this past weekend, the bartenders will charge you differently for the same drink if they think you can afford it. Tried with 3 different drinks, all went separately, all dressed different. My casually dressed friend was charged $8 for vodka and red-bull, I was charged $18 cause they could spot my beautiful ring from my fiance. The bartenders are pocketing the difference as tips! I seriously didnt feel like arguing it at the time but heads up everyone.I paid over $60 for the cheap drinks that kept me going in my UT days.

Even after cooling off for two days, Im still furious at the mistreatment endured trying to see Adventure Club at this garbage place. If not provably blatantly racist, they are at the very least running a scam, purposely selling more tickets than they ever plan on honoring.One rude bouncer told me that we could not get in, despite having tickets, because they were at capacity WHILE he was letting in other people. Another rude bouncer physically pushed my boyfriend and me aside to make room to park cars who were just arriving, again while they were supposedly at capacity.We left after an hour of waiting and seeing that they had not admitted a single person in the general admission line. We heard later that Adventure Club had threatened to leave and Cle finally let in everyone that had been waiting for hours outside. Obviously they were never at capacity, but were just refusing to honor tickets on, what looked to be, the basis of race.Do not waste your time, energy or money at this place. I certainly never plan to spend a penny here again no matter who is playing and hope to not give this racist place another spare second of thought.

Review β„–106

About a year or so ago I went to Cle after reading a lot of bad reviews because the pictures and ambiance looked nice, and I dont want to judge a place totally based on what other people say, as their experience may have been different. I get there, dressed in nice slacks, dress shoes, and a button up shirt. But Im immediately asked when I get to the entrance to stand to the side. I say to myself, ok no biggie, they are probably just letting everyone in a few at a time like a lot of places do. But then, the doorman repeatedly lets in person after person and group after group which were also all non black and mostly female, and greets them with smiles, hugs, and handshakes. But again I tell myself no biggie. He eventually has to let me in, especially since Im the only one waiting and there is no line.I waited there for about 30 minutes, and during that time at least 20 people were let in. It became clear to me what was going on, and I only waited that long in hopes that they would prove me wrong in what I was assuming. But unfortunately they didnt. At that point I had enough and left, probably to the delight of the doorman as it seemed like that was the overall intent. To make me wait until I eventually gave up. I left Cle that night very disappointed, but at no fault of anyone except my own as I read the reviews but did not heed the warning.Fast forward to today. Earlier in the week a friend of mine who is a food critic and writer for the Houston area, invited me to Cle as he was going to be hosting. At first thought I told myself, I dont want to go back there. But then I thought, maybe I should give it another chance. Maybe things are different, maybe Ill have a different experience since this time I actually know and was invited by the host right? Heck, I even told myself, if this experience is better, I may even consider hosting here soon for my business and network of local business owners and creators.I get there, and the entrance is actually roped off. The officer at the entrance says the doorman will be back in a few minutes. There was a few others waiting outside with me also. The doorman comes, and immediately starts letting the others in. When it got to me, he asked who did I work for or was with. I told him my friends name, and he tells me that he has already reached his limit of guest. I told him that I was only one person and I was invited. He responded, there has been at least 10 people that have already come in using his name and were only one person and he has reached his max, you gotta have some girls or something with you or I cant let you in. All the while others are being let in left and right. All non black except one very attractive female. When you are hosting, since when are you only allowed about 10 guest? Or do you mean a certain kind of guest? Thats beyond me.One group of 4 walk up and use my friends name, and they were let right in without questioning. Again non black. I call my friend, and he says that he isnt at his limit and the doorman has been giving many of his guest a hard time. He tries to send someone to let me in, but the establishment would not let him do anything. Im standing there saying to myself you gotta be kidding me that this is happening again. At that point I dont even want to go anymore. Apparently Cle does not want me to spend my money there, and for that reason I wont. I wont get into a rant about race or ask for sympathy. All I can do is spend my money elsewhere as there are several places in Houston where there is a far greater experience to be had. Im simply writing this to inform others of my experience so they can decide for themselves if this is a place they want to visit. Have a nice day.

I was trying to record the video at the right stairs, but security pushed me down to the dancing area, I came back and told him I need only a few seconds, because I don’t see the DJ, and after that he started to push me outside the club. I was asking him about 15 times why are you doing this, and he didn’t say nothing, and keep pushing me, and I FELL AND SPRAINED FOOT. He pushed me outside to the main entrance and just left without any explanation. It was two sheriffs at the main entrance which saw that and they didn’t do anything. I started to ask one of them, his name W.

First of all I will start off by saying I go to Vegas every year and always go to different clubs. This wanna be Vegas club is trash. The day I went they didnt even have someone famous, just some rich guy that has Instagram followers a nobody. We were willing to pay at the door, and they obviously do not want money because they said you have to buy the tickets online. Haha I thought they must not want to make money. I went on a Sunday and it looked dead with plenty of parking. What a wack want to be exclusive club that will never be as big as they want to be. Beware of their false advertisement on Instagram because that pool they have look like its meant to be a kiddy pool.

Its ridiculous...talk about a nuisance!They have been told several times to reduce their volume by police, yet they continue with their ridiculous music.

Been there once and had a good time together with friends. However, not impressed when I discovered that ClΓ© had been charging my credit card multiple times with same amount for almost two months. Check your credit cards for fraud.

SHADY AND SKETCHY from even before you walk in. The Valet conmen flat out lie to you to scam you out of a few bucks to barely move your car 2 feet. The doormen try to con you out of money in the line , which barely had a few people in it. This place sounds and smells awful and is rife with utter douchebaggery . Upscale ? Yeah right , the place is crawling with literal and figurative cockroaches both inside and outside of the club. Careful not to get shanked in or anywhere around this place . Boycott this garbage until its closed .

Outrageously expensive ($40 hookah and ($28 for two shots), bad vibes, and most importantly - THE DRESS CODE IS A JOKE. I wore a dress and heels for fear of being turned away at the door only to see bounds of women in sneakers. What a fascist way to trick people into destroying their feet. Will not ever return.

Love going here! It’s always fun & if I can’t make it out, I always watch the stories on Instagram and they make me feel like I really am there!!! The social media for this place is the top of the line & the photos are ALWAYS dope! This place is really a KEY TO A GREAT TIME!! :)

Will Will Will Oh God the most rudest meanest human being Ever. I understand the club owners dont want to let everyone unless they buying table, its business yes but they that Will guy doesnt have to be rude and mean to people. It was painful to watch how he would switch from being mean to those he doesnt know to nice to those who shower him with little hugs and kisses. I Counted 4 black people getting in the rest were persians/arabs and whites. Its not s big deal really, clubs come and Go....CLE will be history too for theres a time for everything. Will that door post is the only thing that makes you feel like a god, but youre nothing than a pathetic guy. It doesnt cost a thing to be respectful to people.

This place is not a good place. Stood there for a minute just observing. All minorities were waiting outside. I personally saw Caucasian girls get in and with no problem. Yet me a Hispanic couldnt get it in with all girls. Minus 10. Get with the system jackasses.

The worst experience ever. The bouncers are rude and discriminate you if you arent white. Thats how it felt waited in line while all there other groups that showed up later then us kept getting in because they new the bouncers. Its a waste of your money. Id rather get some respect then waste my money here.

People here think it’s upscale and classy. LMAO. Try traveling more. Houston doesn’t do the elitist thing properly, and I must say, I’ve been to some real exclusive clubs around the world and they felt more diverse than this trash place in the middle of the most diverse city in the United States. There is no reason I should see more people of color at the Nikki Beach in St. Tropez, a place with very few minorities, than at this club in the middle of Houston for Christ sake. Hahaha.

Probably the coolest nightclub in Houston as far as venue is concerned. Its huge and packed so drinks can take a while. Do yourself a favor and just buy a bottle (or a few) and get a private section.

This place is terrible, I have never see a place like this before.Since I am acostume to be treated wherever I go well and with respect but this time was not the same starting with the hassles in the valet parking and finishing with the bartenders. They think they are the best club but they are just scam, in this years I think places like this should not exist,where racist and bad service to others happens.

Dont let the negative reviews fool you. This is a high-end establishment and with the environment comes the difficulty of maintaining their status. Sometimes that may mean some exclusion, but that is simply a necessary evil to ensure the rapport and popularity are maintained.

Overcrowded. Should callThe fire Marshall. Ppl are rude push through the club without saying excuse me. I hate being pushed and shoved by strangers. This isn’t the norm for most clubs in Houston. The waiters push out the way; the cleaners push you out the way; as well as the bouncers. Pushing instigates fighting and there were plenty of time a person or two could have gotten handle. Not a sophisticated group of ppl.

Building a reputation to be one of the worst clubs in all of Houston, due to the terrible service from the arrogant and narcissistic staff with bad attitudes, fluctuating drink prices and overpriced bottle services for mediocre at best type of nightlife setting. If given another chance, I would not be caught dead here bc I wouldnt want my image being tarnished by being spotted here again. I would rather drop my Gs in Vegas.

I felt discriminated at the entrance before saying anything the guy tells me if you dont have a section you cant get in. Uhh ok, I tell him my friend has a section and I was invited then tells me I cant get in because of my shoes are sneakers (right after lets in two other ppl with old raggedy vans on) then tells me for 100$ he can let me slide. I told him to fu** off

A joke. Walked over yesterday evening. Heard it was a nice club, but a pain in the ass to deal with, gave it a shot anyway. Live a few blocks away. Asked for a table, the black door guard, let me repeat door guard , to a club, congrats your family must be very impressed, told me he is full no room, obvious lie. I was with 4 girls. Ubered to Iah, had plane hours so flew into mcCarran. Now on runway back as a write this. Step your game up clay or cle as you would like to be pronounced. I give you another year tops. Be more welcome to people or atleast deny them with respect, and for god sakes fire your doorman. I could have tossed him to the side like a little kid. Remember your pontential clients are your lifeblood. Keep it up if you want to be another 1 hit wonder. I hope this provides some input. ThanksTony

Review β„–154

People need to realize that in order for a club to last and be successful, the bouncers have to keep out people that look like trouble, hood, ghetto, whatever you want to call it... But look at the pictures on the site, I see whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc... If you know this place is upscale, show up looking your best, dont go to the door with an attitude, take your best looking friends lol... Do what you gotta do... But this is why drink Houston died, the club had a dress code, no tattoos, no white tees, etc, that all changed and they started letting in everyone and the young ghetto crowd took over pushing all the rest out, no one wants to come to a club with a bunch of hood rats.... Club ended up closing down... I went two months before the close and you can tell the difference, I told my girl this place is ghetto and empty now... 2 months later it shuts down.... Dress code and good bouncers is how you keep a good club going.... Not hard to look good.... Cmon son!

I believe the staff here are under instructions not to let in people of certain race, unless of course you know someone or bought a table. All the while specific race are selected out of all parts of the line to enter while the rest of us PAID TICKET HOLDERS have to wait outside for hours just to be denied entry... Dont believe this?

Bad service ever in town. The door guy is very rude. They told us we need to pay tickets for their special event, they said we can either pay at the door or on website. We just paid on website and another door guy came out told us that they only take table reservation and the only table they left is 3,000 dollars minimum. They told us to pay the tickets without mention table reservations. They said the tickets are not refundable and they told us to find another bar. Very bad attitude. Horrible experience!!!!!!

This place is terrible. buying a general admission ticket, does not guarantee entry. I waited in line for 2 hours. The owner went through the line and picked groups of white Girls and sometimes white guys and let them come in. If you are a minority you will not get in unless you have a table.
