The atmosphere in this place is very fabulous, but the bad thing is that we had a waitress who told us that she couldnt continue serving them because we didnt tip her, I think its her job, which means that you spend more on tipping than they serve you.

Music variety SUCKS, they only play mostly Mexican music, thats great if thats what youre into.They played about 1% regueton 0.5 cumbia maybe 5% of bachata, so do the math.Service wasnt great, but I mainly go to dance so thats alright, but dancing didnt happen either!THE WEBSITE IS USELESS.They dont have MUSIC VARIETY.Id think theyd know that by now.Would you change this?

It’s really disappointing to pay vip tickets just for them to tell you that there isn’t anymore tables available. The girl at the front slimply shrugged and said oh well. Definitely better service else where for the same price

Review №5

Terrible service, I had already paid for my ticket and I went outside to answer a call. When I wanted to go back in, they did not let me because, according to them, the date was wrongly written on my bracelet. I wanted to explain to them that just a few moments ago I had been there and even some of the workers had already seen me. but they literally ripped off my bracelet and took me out.without explanation

I went there for the first time tonight with my cousins and it was a lit vibe!! The only thing I dislike about it is the bartender ONLY takes cash no card 🤦🏽‍♀️. Other than that it was a great atmosphere

I rarely leave one star reviews, but because the short entrance-security guard and the short manager refused to let my girlfriends and I inside, I’m doing it now. Ridiculous. Mi amiga no estaba borracha ni te llamo un estupido. Gracias por hecharnos a perder la noche.

After years of being invited to this club I decided to make the trip from Fayetteville/Raeford on a Saturday night. Wish I could give it zero stars. The security is rude as h*ll!!! They apparently only take cash. They have two ATMs when you make it inside, they charge a $3.50 fee if youre out-of-network (my bank reimburses me). The parking lot is overly crowded and so is the building. There were so many people that you could feel everyones body heat and breath on your skin. No room to dance. The bathrooms are disgusting, the whole facility is outdated. They stop selling drinks at 2am. The music is not good either, for some reason they play a lot of Honduran music... I was expecting a mixture of everything but thats what they played most of the night.

Came here last night wit my cousin soon as we sat down a random old guy was just starring at us no words just oddly close and starring, since the place was already packed we tried to ignore him then another old guy came and did the same thing decided to move and he was following us just starring directly at us.. very disturbing, club was very dirty is it hard to wipe down tables and throw away trash at least ??? tried to charge me 6 dollars for 1 regular water bottle lol never again

Review №11

Id give 0 stars if I could. Extremely RUDE. It was my birthday, me and my friends went out there to dance. It was 1am when we arrived on a Friday it was dead. My friends asked for common drinks which they didnt have. -COORS LIGHT BEER, GREEN TEA SHOTS... Music was so loud u could not talk to anyone and HEAR. We were there for 5 minutes and decided to leave, asked for a refund they refused. Aswell as talking trash about me in Spanish. I was respectful and treated with disrespect. Also once u pay to get in, they only accept CASH for drinks

Review №12

If I could give zero stars, I would. My friend (who is a woman) was literally assaulted and slapped in the face by a guy as we were trying to leave bc my other friend was too messed and was kicked out. We were ALL Women. As we were walking away, a group of 3 young guys and their dad approached us. We told them to keep walking. We knew they were looking for a fight but they kept walking towards until a fight broke and that’s when my friend got assaulted. They said my other friend who is a woman “touched” their dad but that was not the case. We were literally just trying to leave because we knew that friend was too messed up. Cops did not do anything and told us if we did not leave we would be taken in. Horrible night and rude employees. Cops should de-escalate a situation but they didn’t not care for the facts or what was right. Ambis is a PITIFUL place to go. Caution when going because you will get mistreated and assaulted.

It’s a fun place! Only thing is that the bartenders only take cash! No debit or credit cards🙄

Review №14

Honestly it’s an unsafe environment for women. Men continue to harass and bother women to dance with them and can’t take no as an answer. The harassment continues into the parking lot when you leave. I recommend you go with a big group of friends and with guys in the group.

Review №15

Boring on a Friday night to me. When we first got there we stayed about 15 min and left and went to eat hoping if we went back it would liven up a little but it didnt even though there was more people. It was the First time out in years & was a disappointed. I didnt expect the cage gogo half nude dancers that were on both ends of the stage with the band. When my daughter googled a place to take me it didnt give description of how it really was there. Its a Great place for guys to go to watch dancers but its not for me. The best time was at closing when I danced with my daughter to the jukebox right before we left. But my experience is my opinion only. Others may like it. The only time we were spoken to was when we came in & left and that was by the door man. Oh well at least I got out of the house.

No printed receipt of bill! Everything is word to mouth. Not professional. Will not come back, I got scammed. Paid for a vip and no vip service was provided.

Review №17

Very secure place to enjoy your night. Plenty of space to dance. A variety of music to listen to. Different cultures under one roof. Amazing bar-tenders. The staff are very nice people and made me feel welcome. This night club knows how to party like a rock star.

Review №18

Ive never experienced racism until I went to this club, How the hell was I charged $25 and my girlfriend, who is hispanic by the way, was charged $15??? My one friend paid $10 to get in and my other friend paid $15, I will tell people to never ever come to this club, horrible experience and my girlfriend was super upset, and by the way it was her birthday too, I can say thing, We will never come back to this racist establishment. She heart broken from how we were treated.

Review №19

This place is a joke!! I would like to share my experience in this club. I got kick out because some dumb security guy accused me of doing drug. I asked the manager to get the security guy in front of me and tell me in my face of those accusations. I also offered the police officer to search me or do some kind drug test so I can prove that the security guy is a liar, wrong, and unprofessional. I will never go back or recommend this club. The only reason I went there is because one the club employees had a birthday party. I have been in a more elegant and high end clubs and never experienced something like that. The manager offered me to get me back inside and I told him that I didnt feel comfortable go inside after I experienced this ambarrasment.

Review №20

The worst place you can ever go to, security it’s mean and the feel they can do anything with the people that comes there to spend their money to that place I don’t recommend at all, if I could give less than one star I’ll do it because it was a bad experience

Review №21

Security told us it was $5 cover, then cashier tried to charge $25 because clock just turned 2:00am. Was told if we stand to the side and wait, we might be can get in later for $5. We knew going in this was a Latin club but the price gouging seemed a little discriminating, so we left. While we were waiting outside for our Uber, we were asked by someone if we were lost because this was a Latin club. We said no, and he said theyre plenty of white clubs we couldve went too, why did you come here. He was hispanic and we were definitely offended by that. Theres no place for that in Raleigh or anywhere else as far as Im concerned. Will definitely not be back here.

Review №22

I went last night and only thing I saw was couples dancing and a old man getting down on the dance floor. It was boring to be a Latin club. I came there to get women and saw only one good looking one but she worked there as a dancer

Review №23

Ive been to this club 2 other times. Last night when I went with a few friends. One of the bouncers attacked my friend while he was dancing. Then about 5 more tackled him for no reason at all. We tried to explain to the police that stands outside the nightclub but he stands up for the bouncer.

Nice atmosphete. Ladies dont really show up till 11 pm 3 two 1 girls to guys at 12 pm. Great place to meet other or other cultures. Most womem are friendly and not too stuck up. Be respectful and cool and you can have a nice time.

These people take advantage of everyone. Sober or drunk. We paid for two waters, we gave a 20, and the bartender refused to give us change. Who does that?! Don’t buy anything here!

Great music (bachata, cumbia, merengue, salsa, reggaeton, a little hip hop and Latin rock), beautiful go go dancers, drinks are moderately priced ($4 or $6 per beer, mixed drinks are higher), entrance fees are decent (men $15, women $10), they have hookah and close at 5am.

Review №28

Horrible place ... both times Ive been here Ive had bad experiences ...this recent time I pre purchased 2 vip (17$ each ) tickets because I knew I wouldnt get in there in time to get in free before 10pm there was no description of what VIP would get you.. I assumed jump the line so I payed 2 extra dollars.. got there at 1230am .. no line.. people were actually already leaving.. I proceed to show the girl at the counter my evenbrite confirmation and she tells me no it applies only before 11pm ..(I paid 17 dollars for a dang vip service) at this point I just want to leave .. finally they allow us in after speaking to someone else .. and wow ... what a disappointment.. there was hardly anyone there the bartenders were arm crossed leaning back . They only take cash... at that point I decided not to spend a cent more and walked out ...

Extremely dangerous place to go to. The security bouncers hit women in the face no questions asked. When you confront them, the other bouncers stop you and tell you to leave. Dont go to this club with your girls or women unless you want to put them in danger.

Review №31

This place is very inconsiderate to local residents. The music disturbs me and my neighbors every weekend. Its going on 5am as I write this and I can hear them clearly as if I was in their parking lot. I work at 3am so its a huge inconsideration to me. The worst part of living in this area.

We had the unfortunate misfortune of visiting Ambis 1 Nightclub, and what was meant to be a night of fun turned into a nightmare due to their unjust treatment and the presence of rude bouncers especially the one with glasses. I was unceremoniously kicked out of the establishment for absolutely no reason, leaving me feeling humiliated and disgusted. The bouncers were unnecessarily aggressive and treated guests as if they were criminals. It was as if they were looking for any excuse to assert their power and make guests feel small. Overall, the staffs apathetic and rude behavior added insult to injury.My husband accompanied me to the bathroom and waited for me out on the hallway. While I was coming out to leave back to the dance floor the bouncer with glasses approached us stated we had to move from the hallway to the dance floor, obviously seeing us walking back to the dance floor. When we replied we were moving out of the way he started with smart remarks that were not asked for. Long story short I started to get in my husbands face for no reason and smacked my phone out of my hand!! We got kicked out of the establishment without any explanation of what was done wrong.My experience at Ambis 1 Nightclub was a disgraceful display of unprofessionalism and mistreatment. Being unjustly kicked out without any explanation by rude bouncers left a bitter taste in my mouth. I strongly advise anyone seeking a pleasant and respectful night out to steer clear of this establishment. There are plenty of other nightclubs that value their customers and prioritize their enjoyment and safety!!!________________________________We had the misfortune of visiting the Ambis 1 nightclub, and what was going to be a fun night turned into a nightmare due to unfair treatment and the presence of rude bouncers, especially the one with glasses.

The staff is very bad, especially a man at the bar tender, when they give them the last drink just because one is drinking, they vote for it and they still have the nerve to say, you saw me, I voted for it. “The drink was whole” stupid.

Review №80

Im giving it one star although I really shouldnt give it any. The club is fine but the staff and especially a short man who seemed to be the manager takes people out just because he feels like it without doing anything simply because he is angry with himself and is Take it out on the people. If this continues, people will leave the owner poor just for hiring such inefficient people, and Im not generalizing, but most of the people there are so sad.

Today, November 19, is Friday, they published a musical group, a great band from Honduras, at 1:30 am and the said group has not shown up. The entrance fee was $50 per person and this is a scam. They should say that the group will play for half an hour. Dont spend or waste your night in this place… Ambis nigh club very bad including security

Review №86

Okay its always been my favorite place to go and dance latin music. The truth is that this past Saturday, March 7-2015, was my birthday and I went with some friends. It was super full and a very good atmosphere. At first the music was great, but it was almost around 2 a.m. From then on the DJ started mixing the music in a horrible way, he would play like two seconds of a song and the moment you started or thought you could dance he would change it, and he was talking too much. I dont have any criticism of the place or the people, everyone goes and hangs out with the people they want, so thats not the problem. The serious problem is the DJ who must play the music and let it play and not talk so much.
