Women usually don't pay an entrance fee, the security guards are super friendly, and if any man is inappropriate with a woman, the guards are very quick to help and deal with the matter. It's my favorite bar.
The security guard's response at the door was, "There are already too many men, it's not going to get any worse."
Violent security guard and suspicious place. I was going in when my friend was prevented from entering and I didn't understand why... I politely asked the security guard how to get into the bar, where to buy things, etc. He literally pushed me and said he didn't have to give an explanation. It was very strange. There's something very wrong with this place.
The security guard at the Queen Club establishment was extremely attentive, polite, and friendly with all customers, always available for anything.
Went to enter the club and bartender refused immediately. I asked why and he wouldnt respond or let me know why, just pushed me back. Incredibly rude and disrespectful. The club nearby called The Wall was amazing though, would recommend anybody going there instead.
When it takes a bartender 10 minutes to make 2 gin tonics, maybe she should change her profession… :(
It's a great place to listen to and dance to music with friends or solo 💃 and of course have a drink. I highly recommend it 👌
