I used to come here with a group of friends on Thursdays when Shaun Slaughter would DJ. We would pregame beforehand and only end up buying a drink or two while we were here, so the priciness never bothered me that much. The layout is cool, some of the employees (mostly the giant black bouncer that stands at the top of the stairs) are really friendly and promote a fun atmosphere. The patio with the fireplaces is pretty awesome. The girl who hands you paper towels and tries to make you buy mints and lotion from her...kinda creepy but ok. MIX is not my usual cup of tea, and most of the clientele is sleazy, but I did have some fun nights there. Where they fail is right at the door. The guy who checks IDs is a prick. He was always kind of a jerk to me and my friends, even though we tried to be friendly to him and there were several months where we were going there every week. You would think he would eventually warm up - but no, it got worse. I got married last summer and decided to have a 3 day bachlorette weekend of sin. MIX on Thursday was my first stop. My usual gang of friends and I got all dressed up, had a few beers, and walked down to MIX from my house at P and 24th, quite a hike in uncomfortable shoes. When we got there, the guy at the door - the exact same guy who had seen the same 4-5 women go in together for the last two months - let all of my friends in then stopped me and told me flat out, "Your ID is fake, and it is not even you in the picture". I literally thought my friends were playing a joke on me. I recited my ID number, address, birthday, and showed him my wallet full of identification (Kaiser card, ATM, credit cards, even a car insurance card) and he kept being a total jerk to me. I asked to see his manager, who sauntered over, barely glanced at my ID, FOLDED IT IN HALF, then laughed in my face and handed it back to me. Thanks for the really special bachlorette party MIX.

Please read and respond to join class action law suits against MIX for RIPPING people off I have 4 people so far!!!! PM me if you are victim of this MIX scam !! Wish I can give 0 star because thats what this place deserves. I was there few months back with friend and having few drinks on Sunday every thing is fine. I ran in to friend of mine from work who had table service for him and his friends so as a co worker and a good friend I got them a bottle of Hennessey and gave my card to waiter with specific instruction one bottle and it was $ 300.00 that was quoted by waiter including everything. 45 minutes pass and I am like may I please have my card back because we were leaving and answer was sure waited anther 30 minutes and girl brings check and card back to find that I was charged $ 974.26 by Alyssa so I am right away why am I getting charge this amount and her answer was thats what you ordered so I had waiter confirm with Alyssa that I order only one bottle and was $ 300.00. After arguing back and forth I ask for manager and waited for 30 min and no one came so I ask security for manager and he dispatch through his audio com and waited 45 min. but no manager so I called American Express and explained everything what happen. I did not sign my tab and left for the night comes next few days I called and called for manager but no respond so in the end this people are doing this to lots of people the same way ripping people off. I left message again today morning also but no answers or respond from manage.

My husband and I are both professionals in our 40s and were also an interracial couple. We were invited to the mix for a big birthday party Saturday night with about 8 other couples. I can without a doubt tell you old fashioned racial profiling is alive and well at the mix. Our large party starts being let in at 9:30pm although our reservation was for 8pm, but that’s another story. So were all filing in and my husband is stopped in his tracks and told his camel colored suede boots are not “dress code” and that he cannot come in, I of course asked what there dress code was and they say “business casual”. My husband actually left to drive home and change shoes, while this was all happening the hostess was speaking with the manager about making an exception which he finally agreed to do. However, while I waited for my husband’s return I began to notice how other guests were dressed. First I noticed a sloppily dressed white gentleman in faded jeans, faded T-shirt wearing tan loafers? I then noticed a very cute young blonde dressed in basically a men’s wife beater, faded jeans and white converses? I asked her how she got in and with a big wink told me it’s all about who you know. There are so many places to pick from when you go out and want to have a good time and spend some money and unfortunately the mix is NOT one of them.

DO NOT GO TO THE MIX!! This is quite possibly the most RACIST establishment in the city (club bar or any kind of that matter) the undefined dress code is the loosely veiled diversion used to keep minorities out black and Hispanic particularly . I watched a group of several white men enter the club with large boot cut jeans and cowboy boots, before being turned away.. I a fitted sweater Ralph Lauren straight cut jeans and a pair of ferragamo dress shoes. This was apparently not compliant with the dress code as the bottoms of the pants were quote "to wide at the ankle, and shouldnt cover the back of my shoes" WHAT!!! To add insult to injury two more white men with tattered t-shirts and baggy carpenter jeans while I am discussing this "dress code infraction" with the bouncer. When asked if the ankle of there pants being 5 times the size of mine, another bouncer who I wasnt speaking with said they paid for a table. Then when I said I can pay for a table which I had planned to do, (but obviously at that point I was no longer going to do) They responded with there sold out. Side note the guys with the large pants join the conversation and questioned why couldnt I be let in. I have friends of all ethnicities and religious backgrounds, regardless of where your ancestors are from right is right wrong is wrong.

I have gone to this place two times in the last couple weeks. But I didnt get in. I refuse to even try and go there again. First time: I wasnt wearing "shineable" shoes. They were nice shoes, but not "shineable". Second Time: (Even worse) I couldnt get on the guest list, so I call them at 5pm to find out when the cover charge starts. They tel me 9pm. I get there at 8:45. The doorman and manager tell me the cutoff was 8:30. I try and explain my story, and tell them its my second attempt to go there. THEY DIDNT CARE. I hear mix is a cool looking place, but from the vibe I got at the door its a whole bunch of cocky careless bastards, inside and out. Id rather be around nice, fun people than cold-hearted judgemental pricks. Furthermore, this is the hospitality business, learn to respect your customers. Especially the sober ones who arrive early and are willing to pay for drinks. Both my group and I had to split from the rest each time who were already inside.
