Absolutely terrible. I paid 20 dollars for cover and then got denied entry when I tried to get back in after grabbing ciggaretes for my friend. Security was awful, even after my friends came out to vouche for me. Claimed I was "swaying too much" to let back in. If you're looking for a good time, don't go to this bar, they will harass you. Bouncer looked like he had never been touched lovingly by any woman in his life, is probabaly a disappointment to his parents, and is hopefully depressed and hates his life every waking minute. Weird looking beard too. Floor is sticky. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Absolutely terrible. My first impression is the smell. The whole building reeks of feces and vomit. Everything is sticky, there's this weird, chunky mystery liquid flooding the floor, and drinks are obscenely overpriced. $8 for a shot of fireball. EIGHT DOLLARS. You can get it at any other bar for less than $4. Never going back. My expectations were rock bottom, and I was still disappointed. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

After the long wait to get inside it was like a horror scene to walk into. It was so incredibly unclean that I had to shower as soon as I got home. Staff only seemed to care about harassing people at the doors instead of anything else about this place. Will not be back here!
I don’t go to this school, but I was visiting with a group of girls from my school. When we finally got to the front of the line, the other girls I was with were let in fairly quickly. I was handing them my money and ID when the guy said “you don’t look like you go here. Show me your school ID” I said I wasn’t a student and they charged me $20. I asked the other girls if they were up charged or asked like I had been and they all said no and were shocked to find that I had been stopped. A key thing to note is that all of the girls were lighter than me and I was the only black girl in the group. You could say it was for other reasons but I know it was racially motivated. Service: 1
It is a decent bar and relatively cheap if you buy the specials. The cover ranges from free on seniors night to about $20 on hectic weekends; most of the time, it's $10.

Physically and verbally abusive staff. Smells of urine and vomit, sticky floors with constant layer of swamp water. Overpriced cover and even drinks a lot of the time. By far worst bar I’ve been to. Price per person $100+ Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Definitely a place where you can enjoy your time. I’ve had a couple of bad experiences but overall I enjoyed my time here. The best thing I like about it is the design of the outside and inside of the building which I think is super unique. Another good thing is that they have a dance stage above the floor which gets a better view. Good music and lots of people.
Bouncers aren’t complete douchebags like they are Kams. Place smells horrible but had a good time. Only complaints were that cover was expensive and I got overcharged on my drinks
10/10 bathroom experience, I will for sure miss the adventure after Lion moves locations!
This female bartender was very rascist towards us, she wouldn’t serve us and she gave us dirty looks for complaining about waiting over 45 minutes to get a drink. This place is messy and smells bad, management is terrible and the bartenders treat the customers rudely. NEVER going back to this place again.
