Maybe the bartenders should learn how to serve drinks to EVERYONE, including the women... Even if they show up with their regulars that the staff are actively sleeping with. 🤷🏾‍♀️Sat at the bar for over 30 minutes, was IGNORED by two different bartenders and a server... But they were serving my male friend. After leaving, found out my friend had slept WITH ALL THREE OF THEM.Dont let a man mess with your money honey. Rule number 1.

One of the best clubs I have been too! My friends and I had an amazing experience. The bottle girls are quick, fun, and so friendly! Management is all about taking care of their customers and making them happy! Will be back for sure !

Spanish music all night long lol, and one can only take but so much of one genre of music. Would be nice if they switched up the genre of music throughout the course of each night theyre open. Catering to only one type of crowd is insane to me, but hey. This isnt a lounge at night, its a lawn party for Spanish people only.

Great atmosphere, the music is always on point. There is security, love that as well. However, the drinks are a bit expensive. Need to have specials and a menu. One of the best places in Lakeland.

Advertised discounted drinks between 8pm-9pm on their Instagram. Showed up at about 8:45 last night and all the lights were on, no music, and the girls just standing around behind the bar. Walked right back out thinking they were closed or something. The security guy outside told me that I should come back at 11pm because no one comes this early. Not sure why they would advertise a special that early then.In response to your comment:Re-read my review. I agree no one needs a crowd to have a good time, I never said you did. 1. Your “restaurant” was empty and looked like it was closed, I almost felt like I was interrupting the ladies from cleaning. And 2. your response was very disappointing. Not a good look for people who come to read the reviews.

Like 45 mins straight of Spanish songs from when I was 5. Not bad to have, but the whole night? Not the vibe if youre trying to have to night of getting down mixed in with some oldies. Other bars do it better.DJ le something I didnt care for...

This is the best Latin club in Lakeland. There is no cover charge, there’s free parking, there’s great security, bathrooms are sanitized, clean place, drinks are good. The drinks are pricy but if you want to be in a nice, classy and great vibe the price is right. The bottle girls are great and the service is awesome. This is my new spot in Lakeland.

Music and vibes was on point. I get the whole inflation issue, but $19 for a Jameson and ginger ale that tasted like the bartender didnt know how to bartend aka mixing skills were def off. Yea, at least theres no cover, but Its a deal breaker for me. Probably wouldnt go back or pregame prior to going.

The place is nice but the music wasn’t good at all the dj changed the good music when people started to dance and killed the vibe, it felt they just wanted you to spend money drinking and not dancing

2🌟 First of all, it is the first time we go to this club. We have been to others in more prestigious places and the experience at this place was a disaster. We booked VIP to celebrate a friends birthday, making it clear that we would be 8 people and we wanted VIP to buy bottles and have good service without the need to wait and look for drinks. VIP means that if I buy you a bottle we have a person looking after us in a reserved place with space and that includes the juices or whatever you use to mix your drinks which the waitress must mix because that is why it is called VIP. We arrived to start, they did not have the space reserved for 8 people, a chair was missing and you could hardly move to dance because there was no space. We bought 2 bottles to start, one from Black Label and one from Titos. We ordered cranberry, pineapple, lemons and ginger beer. The waitress was very quick to charge us for everything and the tip without even serving us when we saw the tickets they charged us $171 for each bottle, $26 for the VIP service and additionally each juice to mix because to make matters worse you buy the bottle but they give you a little juice 12 or 16 ounces, you must pay the rest separately. The only thing the waitress did was pass cards every 10 minutes. but she didnt make us drinks or pay attention to us because she was the only one serving the VIPs and the regular tables. In the end we ordered another bottle of Crown and she didnt even open it and asked us if we wanted cranberry and how much juice. Hello, if I bought you a bottle, I need enough juice to mix it and only 4 pieces of lemon for 8 people. We danced and had a good time because we didnt want the night to be spoiled but definitely because of that price and poor service we prefer to go to others even if they are far away. Hooka, Hooka refill, 3 bottles, snack bar, VIP around $800. 😳

I want to send a message because I wont be there on Thursdays. I was very excited and found it closed and on the maps it showed that it was open. They have arranged it in a different way and it is very good but I dont know what happens to people now that they dont like to dance. So why go to the disco and I would like the people who serve to be friendlier

Review №39

Very good atmosphere but they always charge you different prices, always buying the same thing and they dont return your money in exchange either. I dont like that, its assumed that if you always buy the same thing its the same price

I went on Saturday, August 19 to celebrate birthdays FOR THE FIRST TIME, I liked the place and the music, what I didnt like was the attention of the bartender, I understand its full but you dont have to answer rudely and make unpleasant faces, otherwise You know how to tolerate and serve people. It is better to have more people help them to avoid people having to wait and be poorly served. Another thing is when the night is over and the lights turn on, obviously people have to go out, right? ? So, how they do it everywhere, they turn on the lights and people come out, you have to give them time to come out but dont throw us out like they did on Saturday, the lights came on and security with the flashlight in their faces yelled at us to get out, they had barely turned on the light. lights, the security incites people to get angry and start fighting. Please treat customers well and avoid unnecessary fights because at that time people are drunk and the security is there for security, not to start fights. No???? More empathy and respect

This place is comfortable and good atmosphere. But you have to be very careful with the bartenders, they are cheaters, they like to play with the price. I went a second time and they did the same thing to me.I ordered a margarita and two shots of black and ginger. And he charged me $50.00 dollars for three drinks.On the second round I order the same thing with another bartender and she charges me $35.00. I went a second time and they did the same thing to me. The cashiers are very scammers
