Cover charge scamWent there for the first time this past Saturday with my 5 friends. Girls pay $10 cover and guys $15.I paid with $20 cash and the girl just gives me a $5 back so I ask her where is the rest of my change and she fake apologizes “sorry I charged you as a guy” and gave me the rest of my change.Then once downstairs in coat check ($4) I tell my group about this and my one friend who paid cash had the same thing happen but didn’t know girls were cheaper so she didn’t ask for her change back! Once she went back up the girl gave her attitude and was “I don’t remember you”. Even tho we had talked to her less than 5 minutes prior. Not impressed at all with the door girls.Overall the music was good but really loud, and the place was uncomfortably full. Left after a couple hours and probably I’ll stick with other bars because of the cover scamming. Happened to 2/5 of us so I can only imagine how many more times they pulled that during the night.

I usually recommend this place BUT after tonight I would never again. The reviews on how horrible the bouncers are is true.I’ve never been so roughly grabbed and yanked by a bouncer or any one in that matter and kicked out without reasoning. I was completely sober, left confused, in shock and scared. I’ll never come back after being treated this way.Bouncers are a complete mess, people formed a third line in the middle of entry/ re entry and they got in before everyone in the entry line. A group in front of us had bottle service and refused to allow them in (they ended up leaving after waiting almost an hour)

(Videos seizure Warning)Fun place, not overly big, but the gold room" gets you some solid private space. The tacos and nachos are better than a good amount of restaurants that I've been to (maybe just really drunk). Staff are really friendly

Papi was amazing! Now keep in mind I haven't gone to a club in Calgary since maybe 2014 (Im 36) lol.Good mix of age groups, most of the oldies were at the back with tons of space and freedom to dance while the young ones were on the packed dance floor. Fridays are old school night and I was in HEAVEN! I danced ALL night. Drinks were decent priced too. Nice taco place in the basement and mostly very friendly people work here (doormen,coatcheck,photostand guy,taco servers etc). I would love it if they did oldschool night for 25+ like they did back in the day.Cons: Bar service took FOREVER so we double ordered to save time. Was packed by like 1030pm which back in the day is when we would go to the club. Not a great set up at the entrance as its only one door. So people had to line up to leave and get smushed by people coming in.

We went for the opening night in December and it was okay, pretty overcrowded, and the crowd had to demand reggaeton from the DJ. They also had (probably illegal) fire works that were hitting the sprinkler bibs and they had a fog machine that started around 1am that filled the club with awful smoke that gave my friend an asthma attack which she could have died from. Taco restaurant staff were unhelpful and pretty rude honestly, the only way to get them was to try and find a server, but tables and such were not explained and we could not eat at all. The coat room was more than half full of building materials and tools and those poor girls working had to dodge around all of them. The mixed margarita drink was okay but it was premixed and came out of the bar hose thing which was disappointing.Skipping forward to last night when we tried to get in. We were on the guest list, but waited 40 mins in the -20°. The line was not moving, and the only heater options were right by the door unfortunately. Despite one of my friends talking to a bouncer about the general admission line and us paying a cover, only after all of us (15+ people) had moved to other line were we told that that was only for bottle service and were rudely told that we wouldn't be able to afford the last table at $1000 and that we were making up that my friend spoke to a bouncer. Luckily we were able to warm up at the near by Ramada because some of my friends had the start of frostbite.Really disappointed both times honestly which sucks because the venue is pretty beautiful for a club.

Went here on Saturday with a friend, drinks are way to overpriced and the bartender was so stuck up and rude. I told her I wanted a corona and she recommended a different beer and told her I’ll take it, right away I told her I didn’t like it and asked if I can get a corona instead, she refused and said since I drank out of it I have to pay for it. Usually when you try something and don’t like it, other clubs or restaurants will take it back remake drinks or give you the drink you wanted in the first place without the hassle. We definitely won’t be coming back and management really needs to watch who they hire not a good look for the company when someone is as miserable and rude as her.

I mean it’s alright but definitely not a club I’d see myself going back to again. Music was so loud my friends had problems the next day with hearing properly! Food was okay but definitely not worth $18 for 3 tacos. Bottle service was a nightmare, I came with 7 people and a couple more friends were coming, we walked over to the table and saw it was a table for 2 hahaha I told them I’m not paying for that so we just hit the dance floor instead. For a new place I understand they have stuff to work on and get right but I’m not gonna be coming back for awhile. they had pipes leaking from the ceiling already as well. Gonna be rating this place 4/10! They definitely have a lot to work on.
