I’ve only been here once, last month right before Valentine’s Day, and I had a blast! Great music! Great environment! Great dance lessons! It was moderately busy, but I found this to be a plus. Call me boring, but I’m not a huge fan of waiting in long lines for a drink, not having anywhere to sit, or not having any room on the dance floor to show your stuff! 😃 As a local, small business owner, I support any business who tries to grow and improve! I’m definitely going back! Hope to see you there!

The Palladium is a fun, happening dance club that’s for everyone. I’ve been there a couple times and had a BLAST. The waiters are very good and it has a great vibe. It’s above place but still has an intimate feel. They have a nice Sunday brunch with free salsa and bachata lessons. Pretty cool idea!

I have nothing good to say about this place. They made us wait outside in the cold. My guess is that they were pretending it was crowded as there weren’t that many people inside. They took away tables and barstools. Terrible sound system. Drinks were served in plastic cups. My margarita was a 6 Oz glass full of ice and I paid 9 dollars. No toilet paper in the girls bathroom. A friend was charged different prices for a Corona unless the difference in price was because he asked for a glass of water with his first order. I think the setup is more suitable for a yoga , Pilates , gym or CrossFit. Looks more like a warehouse with a bar. I did not eat there. Some of my friends liked the food. They claimed to be sold out but I did not see a big crowd. Needing a ticket to get in and then pretending to be sold out to later advertise tickets available for $20 sounds pretentious.

They said the doors opened at 7:00. Some people paid $20 for tickets. At 8:30 they kept making people wait. They would mutter something about the fire marshal. When they finally let you in (a coupe at a time,) you expect to see a huge crowd. But, there are only coupe dozen people in a huge place that holds hundreds. And, there no sign of the band that was to stast almost an hour ago. And, they continue to make people stand in the cold. I think they think is good for their image. Everyone is ticked.😳🔥

Its a large venue. The food was good especially for late night goodies. Mr. Mambos Social hosts their salsa and bachata night on the first, third, and fifth Saturday as well as every Tuesday. They have classes starting at 8 pm and dancing starts at 10 pm. Its $15 for lessons and dancing and $12 after 10 pm. There are lots of seats to rest and ypull need it. Because you can dance to your hearts desire until 2 am! Theres free parking too.

We went on a 90s music night. The music and band were great but hardly anybody was there on a Saturday night and we were there from 10pm till closing. There were twenty people in the whole place on a Saturday night which we thought was really strange for a nightclub. On top of that $9-12 bottled beers before tip just made the whole experience pretty ridiculous. Obviously this place is trying really hard to be something they are not. A pint of beer in central London costs approx. $5-7!!!

We spent new year at the Palladium and had a great time, it was our first time there and truly enjoyed, everything was perfect food, drinks, music, decorations, the waiter was great. We will definitely comeback. I’m glad I didn’t read some of the negative comments because I might had missed a fun party :)

This place has a LOT of work to do before it can call itself a premiere *anything* -- I havent been this upset in many years, and Im not the only one. Im only rating it one star because I cannot rate it lower.A few weeks ago, I put my name on the guest list to see a popular local band at this new place in Tysons. A friend was meeting me there. Online, the venue kept stating that the show was sold out (nope), and the door time kept changing..When I finally arrived (my Uber driver had a hard time finding the place due to lack of lighting/signage) on a freezing Friday night, there was a long line of very upset people waiting outside in the dark.No one knew *why* there was a line (where was the staff? Why did they not periodically come out and let everyone know what was going on?) so I texted my friend (already inside), thinking it was just too crowded. He said there was hardly anyone inside.Everyone in the line that I could hear was frustrated, angry and upset and swore that after this event, theyd never come back to this venue again.Once they started letting small groups of people in, no one apologized or explained the lengthy wait outside. There was only one staff person checking IDs, scanning tickets/looking on the guest list. Why? Wouldnt you think, as a premiere destination that youd have more staff to handle a sold out show?My friend was refused service at the bar 5 times - the bartender allowed other people to go ahead of him. He finally got a drink because the 5th person the bartender served instead of my friend said to the bartender I feel bad, I snuck in ahead of him, he should go right after me and she waited right next to him until he was served. Kudos to you, random concert-goer! (My friend is not white, by the way).I asked the bartender where the rest room was, and they turned their back on me, and walked the other way to serve someone else.Then I asked a staff member where the rest room was, and they sighed, gesturing vaguely to a pitch black hallway. I had to have my cell phone on to see where the bathroom was located in the dark.My friend and I were so upset, that we left and went to another place to listen to local, live music -- where he was able to get a drink right away, and where the bathrooms were find-able, and there were so many people there to hang out and listen to music, you couldnt get a seat there - a direct contrast in where we came from.I work with a lot of musicians, and I see a lot of live music all over the DMV. When I told them about what happened at the Palladium, they were appalled and horrified.Its not like The Palladium is THE must-see/been seen at, red-velvet, most exclusive club in the area.Its in the back of a strip mall, in a not easy to find place in Tysons nowhere near public transportation.It would have been so, SO easy to carve a niche out to be this cool place that people would travel to in order to have an incredible night out, and tell their friends about. Word of mouth goes a long way in building a reputation -- you cant just decide you are IT and expect that the public will just accept that - theres plenty of places in this area catering to people who like dancing/live music, and they do a great job. If the Palladium wants to have a good reputation, and solid crowd coming in for anything besides Salsa Nights, they have a significant amount of improvements that need to be made very quickly in order to compete with other venues who are doing it way better than they are.

Who would reccomend this to dancers? It is a split between reggaeton and merengue for the majority of the night. More for people who want to get drunk or dont know how to dance. Horrible music horrible parking. Just not a good execution of a potentially great place. Worst part is the music. So bad.

Nice renovation, big improvement over the former IRIS/E-Citi complex. Still, not really sold on a salsa & merengue club in Tysons Corner, of all places. Seems like the Palladium is more suited for Route 1 in Woodbridge than one of the countrys high tech, premiere business areas. Not surprisingly, the club has been mostly empty the several times Ive visited. I wish them well, but have my doubts on how long the Palladium will last.

This venue is amazing! Spacious, hardwood floors, plush VIP Lounge on 2nd floor that overlooks the main floor, great food, state of the art lighting and sound system, and places to sit in between socializing, dancing, and just chilling. Good times and good atmosphere!

It is a good place, the food is delicious but sometimes they limit the menu depending on the day, the DJ and the salsa and bachata instructors are excellent and take their time teaching.quite Colombian and Cuban especially for school days. Its a new place in the area, visit it!
