Crush Nightclub

Looks like this continues to happen to several people as well. I guess if the bartenders don’t think your young enough or hot they rip you off! Bartender charged us $12 for a happy hour drink. I went to the bathroom and saw the happy hour sign. Come on sorry I’m not 25 but don’t rip me off. We paid cash and the bartender didn’t offer me a free round. He instead said he would charge me $4 for the next round.

One of my fave spots in Oak Lawn — the energy is always 10/10. The owners and bartenders are amazing, super welcoming, and the drinks are not only delicious but also come with the cutest decorations. The drag queens always turn it out, and the sound system eats. And let’s be real — the bathroom mirrors are the most iconic in the gayborhood. Colorful, fun, and full of good energy — Crush never misses. 💖🌈

This place is so disappointing. I attended their Singles Event tonight and I can firmly say this will be my last time visiting this establishment. I could tell the Singles Event was going to be a bust cause only me and one other guy took nametags. Before I left, I went to the bathroom. I locked the door and used the toilet. There was no toilet paper. A man was able to open the door, there was even a pop when the lock unlocked. I notified him that the room was occupied and thankfully he shut the door and didnt see me in a compromising situation. I get up, lock the door for the second time and wash my hands. The lock popped again and a woman walked in, while I was washing. She left when I notified her the room was occupied. By the way, the automatic soap dispenser was broken, so they had a bottle of Dial soap on the dispenser. I looked around and realized there was no paper towel dispenser or hand dryer. So I was forced to wipe my hands on my pants. Furthermore, the bathroom floor was sticky. My shoes made that peeling-off-the-floor sound every time I lifted my feet. As I was leaving, I noticed the owner of Crush just sitting in his car, texting on his phone. The boomers were right, nobody wants to work anymore. Mind you, Crush almost went out of business last year before they acquired a private investor. I can see why this place almost kicked the bucket. Crush is definitely not gonna be around for much longer. There are McDonalds that are better managed than this bar.

I know the oners will probably get this review deleted but I came in today a Tuesday night during the Christmas pop up with a decent sized group. We were Pretty excited about the drinks and the atmosphere and decoration, but quickly turned off by the Bartender service and cleanliness of the bar. When we came in, there were empty glasses all over all of the tables and bar. There were also no employees to help guide what was going on. As I don’t care too much about the glasses, but we cared about was the fact that the bartender never approached us after waiting at the bar for at least 15 to 20 minutes. . We never got approached we never got smiled that we never got created. We never got any of those things and we felt like the bartender did not care about our comfortability and our experience at this “”holiday pop up” i’ve been loyal to this bar since they opened and have given them multiple chances but something is always weird about how they do things. I hope they get their act together soon.

I had an amazing first experience at this club — so much so that I came back a second time and brought 7 friends with me. We stayed until almost closing and had a blast both times. The energy is fun, the vibe is unique, and it definitely stands out as a great little hidden gem. However, I’m giving 3 stars because of how a recent event was handled. During a themed night, there was a Kesha singalong competition where the winner (my niece) was supposed to receive tickets. Despite being announced as the winner, they were never contacted or given the promised concert tickets. We’ve reached out through calls, emails, comments, and direct messages (to the club and even ownership) hasn’t resulted in any response. So, if you're looking for a quirky spot with a good atmosphere and don’t mind the occasional hiccup in event follow-through, this could still be a fun choice. Just manage expectations when it comes to promotional promises.
