Capacity over exceeds accommodations for its guests. Nowhere to sit and too crowded not to mention overpriced menu

Late review but I have time now to say...DONT COME HERE! If you do, be prepared to wait over an hour in line to go in, parking is $20 (understandable), but entry is $40 a person?!?! Cash only?! That’s $100 already if you bring someone plus drinks and all be prepared to get ripped off. Seats are trash. Dance floor is small. It’s really not worth it.

Work experience ever . $60 each person for entry. Not to mention the dance floor is very small from what it used to be back when it was called rio nilo. $20 for a adios. Everything is over priced. Not to mention I was dancing with my sister in a small dance floor a lady got bothered and pushed me I reacted and I was the one that the security grabbed with excessive hold and took me out without being allowed to go get my phone or wallet from the table I paid for over $300 with bottle service . Best believe I will be accusing them of harassmentDONT NOT COME HERE

Late review but... Whatever you do, DO NOT PULL CASH OUT OF THEIR ATM! ITS A SCAM! My girlfriend and I tried to pull $200 out, machine never gave us the money. Thought we’d try again and same thing! We lost $400 total! I asked the manager for a refund and instead we got kicked out! So unprofessional. I disputed 2xs with our bank and both times we got denied reimbursement because this place provided “proof” or “transaction receipts “ that showed we “got the money” both times! Please avoid this place. It’s a total scam.

Beware of the false advertisement as to when you can get “inside” the club and the multiple owners and managers at the entrance that cannot provide their names. The bouncers keep adding tables to the dance floor to accommodate new guests until the dance floor is filled with no space left to move. Overall bad service where employees have no interest in customer service.

The band that played tonight made our night all bad we asked them since they started playing 11pm to play us a single song N I guess cause we didnt have $$$$ sign on our face they ignored us we asked a few times 3 different people but kept getting ignored. MONEY was no issue but yet am guessing to them it was. This was the 1st time N the only time there do to our experience. We will not be returning the band is not professional to please everyone equal no matter what...

This place pretty much sucks!! I tried making a reservation for 10 and they had a minimum of 4 bottle purchase at $230+ each...and were heavy drinkers but were not balling like that. They gave us price by phone and at the door it was more. Theres no where to sit, no where to dance!! We tried getting a refund and they said NO! The reason for no dance floor was that it was a concert. Oh yeah concert with no place to sit, just stand around anywhere you fit. NEVER GOING BACK!!!

Great place to go but you must reserve ahead of time..If you like to listen to Spanish Mexican music this is the place to go. It gets heavy pack when famous singer comes but you can reserve ahead of time and get a good VIP table. You can reserve to number provided above😊

They talk too much for what they charge. Less talking, more music to dance. No one is dancing 😑 Bring cash or pay $5 fee to use a card. Place is too expensive 🤷‍♀️ looks nice but dancefloor is fairly small.

Honestly wish I can rate this no stars. 18+.Self Parking $20. VIP Parking $20. Waited in line 40+ minutes. VIP entry $20. We had ask how much is entry fee we were told free bfor 11pm. We were already in line at 1030. We finally made it inside to pay one hour later and was told entry fee is $40 a person! And it’s cash only.Uber/Lyft or have someone drop you off so you don’t pay a ridiculous parking fee. Plan to arrive early to beat the long line and the outrageous entry fee.

Unbelievable, they dont accept debit cards here, like what year are we in? And They have an ATM machine that charges you $5 to withdraw, entrance is $30!!!! Like if were in Beverly hills, never coming back

Es una mierda de lugar,. On October 29 they have Halloween event with live music... it said before 11pm its free... We got there at 930pm and we waited in line from 930 to 1045 pm thats when they started to let people in at 1045, almost a hour an 15 min wait, the line was moving super slow to get in the club , we were so close to the door... Once we got to the door it was 11:05 pm. The lady charging said 50.00 for guys and 30.00 to cut in line ,, total of $80.00. What a Rip-off!!They said they were open at 10pm but they open at 1045pm so they can rip-off everyone for 50.00 and some 80.00 and for what ? To stay there for 3 hours inside. This place is GARBAGE!! and they charge parking also. B/S

The dance floor keep getting smaller and smaller. They keep adding more tables and chairs to the point theres no room to dance! They just want you to consume more so you can keep the table if not they kick you out. The waiter will keep opening the beers from your bucket...so you can finish em up and buy more or kick you out the table for other people who are buying alcohol (bucket of beers or drinks)

Come here once in a while and have been here several times and have had fun. But to have good experience you need to buy bottles to get a good table and have a good view of show. The bottles are expensive but that is expected like in all nightclubs

Worst night ever .I always go to clubs and this was my first time going to el malecón .Nunca en mi vida voy a volver !Everything was super expensive and of course I payed but there was no space to dance or even walkFor the amount of money me and my partner and the rest of the 8 people I brought.I do not appreciate how exepensive this was for the lack of space and the lack of customer service everyone was so rude !The security’s felt they’re protecting el chapo .Like this place looks elegant I’ll give it that . But it’s not what I expected at all.(Nobody had a good time)If you look around everyone is on there phone and just wondering why tf did they even go thereSuch a waist of time and money .I perfer to go back to my home town San Bernardino’s Pepe’s night club to have a good time and dance and the tickets are only 20.I am not cheap at all I pay to have a good time .I never have regrets .El dinero va y viene ! Pero las memorias quedan

I must say to make reservations sucks. They say send us a text and will call you as soon as we can but when they text you all they text you is junk, junk. We try to make reservation for a huge group of us and we were not able to do so. Says who that customer service is good when you never get to talk to someone or get a respond by email about your reservation. Maybe calling a year before would help. Good luck.

$30 to go in and no where to sit or dance. If you have $250 to Pay for a bottle, maybe you’ll have a chance to even dance.It’s always so full no one Can even dance here.If you come here make sure to have a table and get ready to bump into others.

One of the worst experience.. 1st 20 min inline after 10 min in a line for the atm then atm has no cash then leave to get money from the bank. Come back and get charge 20$ for and express lane that I was told to use when caming back from the bank. By mistake I got that $$ back then at the paying both I ask the security guard which I was told to ask for a discount for all the inconvenience and then he tells me that I dont need to come in I turn around to walk to pay and he calls the door guards to escord me out and not to let me in. This and total of and hour .after I got initially in line and I have a party of 12 waiting for me in a booth.. wow.. what to expect from Spanish clubs and 1st time for all of us to come in here.. wow..

Beware! Lost my phone here and couldn’t get ahold of anyone for a week, until I finally drove an hour to talk to them in person. They had me wait almost 2 hours only to tell me the phone was not here, even though the FindMyiPhoneApp said 2 days prior that the phone was in the club. Bunch of low class people working for an overrated night club.

Had a blast Friday night with my closest friends. We enjoyed the environment at el malecon and are wanting to plan another weekend to go there and dance and relax ourselves. The only bad part is that closes at 2 am which it could be open a little longer.

#SATURDAY!!NOV..24 #MALECON: GUYS &GIRLS FREE B4 11PM W/THIS TXT ARRIVE EARLY! DUETO CONSENTIDO/IMPERIO/MARAVILLOSA/GPO CORRUPTA/FWD TXT TO FRIENDS B4 10PMJRI received this message yesterday, but when I went to the club with 6 of my friends ready to buy some bottles and party. But when we arrived the lady who charges said text was not valid. This is the 2nd time this happens to me at this club. So after paying $20 for self parking I was rudely pushed out by the “host” said “we only want people who CAN pay”I’m a business owner. Who Can pay. assumptions is the mother of all ____ ups

Low class people spending all their paycheck to seem rich....croud is funny, service is low class, in other words people here are into hypes and no class. Come here if u want to pretemd to be a baller or of if your girl wears 15lbs in makeup. Did i mentioned that plp wear basketball shoes witj dress clothes. Not worth it unless you are into hypes and appearing to be a what u are not.

Good bands playing there but its way too over priced 1k + for a vip table and 2 bottles of buchannans, Bad service they dont want to take cards and when they do they take 2 hours to return it 😑

Review №26

The only good thing about this place is the dj over crowded with tables for bottle service not allowed standing around this tiniest dance floor maybe about the size of 4 of their tables its not a club its a oversized restaurant with no food and live music!!!! FYI a club has a dance floor and what this place has its not even close to anything like that!

Review №27

The place has way to many defects.... The defect it has are not really big things but when its a lot of litle things the amount to somrthing ... One of te things is every foo in there feels like they arw el chapo or something... The place is way to over crouded and no actual dance floor .. I dont think the small open space qualifies to be called a dance floor ..but the paace also has a clouple of things that kinda counter the bad ones.. Like theres lots of women . Another thing that need to be fixed is their answering machine beed to provide more infoo on rhe event going on that night in the club.... ♣

The manager here at malecon is very unprofessional very inattentive very bad customer service the bathroom keepers are very rude and pushy they always hurry you to use the restroom I had been coming for a while till this bad experience where the manager was charging me for a bottle I apparently had paid that night but the bad part was that he was asking me for the money for the bottle till the next day when I had gave them my credit card to pay for that bottle that night twice not only did we wait in line for an hour to go in but I had ended the night bad with them very bad service they don’t care for your business only care about taking money and ripping people off don’t waste your time and money !

The worst nightclub I have ever visited, the door opened an hour later than advertised, impossible to get Meza unless you are a millionaire, they ask you to buy a minimum of 2 bottles for any table and the bottles cost $280 each. I will never return to this place and I do not recommend it to anyone. One star is too much for me, but I couldnt give it less.😡😠
