Amazing new nightclub in River North. Great music with an energetic crowd. Celebrated a 21st birthday and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a good time!

I'm gonna be honest, it is expensive. That's for sure. But that's a nightclub for ya. Now, I give it 5 stars because I had a blast. The DJ was playing some really great music. Thank you Mistahan. Then the bartender near the entrance remembered my drink order, so I didn't have to scream it over the music. Then I got to enjoy hours of people watching. I almost died laughing at the drink shenanigans. I thought it was too funny. If anything, come here for drinking and giggling. Come in early and babysit your drink, then enjoy a night of dancing and laughing. I feel bad for one guy who had started dancing with one girl towards the end of the night, only to get taken back by another guy she had been dancing with for hours earlier. But he was cool. He moved on.

I had the cool experience of attending the grand opening of this place and the remodel makes it look way more elegant than it was before. I came with a group of my friends and we had so much fun! Drinks were delicious, music had me dancing all night long, and I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. I definitely plan to come here again!

I just went to the grand opening this past weekend and the renovations are on full display for this modern club with a great mix of dancing and social space. I had a fantastic time with my group and can’t wait to go again
