This establishment has brought great crime (July 31st, 2023 Murder) to our Bonnycastle neighborhood, and needs to move to a more appropriate part of Louisville to conduct it's 3am business. This is not a rave/club community, and we residents want your business gone. We have young children and senior citizens in this neighborhood, that don't need to fear for their lives, every time your doors are open.
I paid 20 dollars to get into here and spent over $100 in alcohol. I went outside for less than 5 minutes and they tried to charge me with another $20 for re entry but they gave me a wrist band. What was the point of the wrist band then?? I won’t be back to this place they are too money hungry. I would have came back in and spend another 40/50 dollars in alcohol so they are really screwing themselves in the end.
Says they open at 5, but nothing was set up. We just came for food but never got greeted, never shown a menu or offered anything to drink. Didn’t even get acknowledged by the 2 workers once we sat down. So we got up and left. Place was still a mess, smelled bad… Number on the website/IG page doesn’t work.
This place is poorly managed - there are rats all behind the bar and I even saw one in the ice machine, drunk patrons spilling out onto the street shooting each other, over aggressive bouncers who aren't smart enough to keep guns out of the club an owner who doesn't give a damn about his neighbors and lets his staff leave broken glass all over the street so that people walking their dogs get their paws cut. Nothing good happens here and its SHOCKING that no one has gotten sick because of the disgusting ice machine and rat infestation.
