The Metropolitan Nightclub

I have been going to the welcoming party given on the Thursday the week of Essence Festival and the 4th of July for years; I never paid attention to the cost of drinks mainly because I'm there to enjoy my time with friends. Last year during the same time I purchased a drink from one bars in the club which was normal pricing but later when I purchased the same drink from another bar in the club the price was 10$ more! This year, last night!, I purchased a double shot of Ciroc with orange juice for 30$!... you can purchase a 750ML bottle for 30$ if not less. The problem is that I use cash; I ask how much, they give me a price, I give them cash, they give the change without a receipt. I'm done with that place.

Go get a security guard to get him a water , this is what the bartender had to say to someone attempting to get water for someone literally passed out. Wanna feel what it 's like to be a sardine, stank and everything?? Go here! This place is dangerous, Travis Scott vibes all the way. Too packed, and 9/10 times the show isn 't even quality. Dillon Francis sucked, no seven lions, and tables and chairs EVERYWHERE for people to trip on. I 'd give it 0 stars if I could. Also prices are outrageous. Lame venue that doesn 't give a rats behind about their customers.

It is a beautiful venue, poorly ran consistently. In service from front door to bar to bottle service. Somehow they never change over a decade of consistency that's what they have.. waste of money and time every-time every event.

Came here for Essence Fest and never again. First, I paid for bottle service. As soon as I got there I showed the person at the entrance my QR code. We're sat in our section and told that a bottle girl would be with us shortly. We waited for like 20 minutes and no one showed up. Then, the same person that checked us in out front tells us that if we're not getting bottle service we have to leave the section. What?! So u show my code again and ask her to send a waitress over. In the meantime, someone is sat in the section next to us. I look over and a waitress comes right over to them. I flag her down and she tells me to hold on. Now we've probably been waiting over 30 minutes. Maybe another 15 minutes later she comes back over to the other table but still doesn't stop at ours. So I go grab her and tell her we've been waiting for 45 minutes with no service. So she finally comes over to take our order. And then they mistakenly bring out the wrong bottles. Then when we finally get our bottles. She just leaves them on the table for us to open and pour ourselves. But she opened and poured bottles for the other table. Lucky for her gratuity is automatically added or she wouldn't have received a tip. Next year I'll definitely be going to another club.

Every time I buy a ticket to see a performer they don't come on until 2am. I am very disappointed every time. This will be the last time I come. Place gets way too overcrowded, you can barely walk anywhere. Has great potential, but needs to step it up on the amount of space and the main show starting at least at midnight.
