I went this past weekend for my birthday and a friend helped me set up a table through one of the mangers there. When I arrived I was shown up to the table on the 3rd floor - and it was a really nice private room with 2 other tables. I give it 2 stars because I was a little frustrated with the people who worked there. I was told I could have unlimited guests come in (I had 15 max) but I got so many texts that my friends werent being let in and I had to go down and ask for them to be let in. In a club that is super packed, walking up and down the stairs to get people who should automatically get let in is not enjoyable. Theres a back staircase I think for table entry that I was initially escorted through, but the bouncer wouldnt let me bring my guests through after the fact and kept telling them they had to go around. Maybe they should initiate a wristband system to differentiate people? If I pay that much money for a section, I would like to be able to use the perks. Then, when trying to find my friends, one bouncer by the stairs told me there is another set of stairs and to go that way, but then the bouncer on the other side of the floor kept looking at me like I was stupid and pointing me back to the original stairs I came from saying those were the only ones, so I ended up running back and forth and felt like they were just toying with me. The worst was at the end, the girls who brought our drinks were generally okay except she tried to charge me for a more expensive bottle when I specifically pointed to and ask for a cheaper one then argued and said I should have known. Not my job. Overall it wasnt terrible and my friends had fun, but it was a slight nightmare trying to facilitate entry, deal with the bouncers, and adjusting my tab. For table service I would probably suggest somewhere else.

**Edit** We were given a 50% refund after our experience as well as offered to come back VIP and not be charged. Jason and Kamal were very professional and took our complaint seriously. Great customer service that was much appreciated! We will be back to give Decades another try soon. Terrible. My friends and I were really excited about this place and had planned to celebrate my birthday here for about a month. When we contacted Decades to set the night up we were told by Kamal that it was $500 for an area that fits up to 10 or $750 for an area that fits up to 20 people. We decided to go with the more expensive since we had about 13 people in our group. When we got there we had to wait until 11 to be taken to the VIP area, we were shown to a room with another group of people. Our area included a couch that fits 5, 2 chairs and another couch that fit about 5-8 people. Not even 20 minutes into it random people start pouring into the room and slowly started to crowd our area, some even came to our table and tried drinking off of our bottles!!! We had to get "security" right away. Once the people were told to move it wasnt 10 minutes later that they came back and crowded our area again. It seemed to us that ANYONE was allowed into the VIP room whether they paid or not. After an hour of trying to fight people off of our things and out of our area we went to speak to the manager and were just given his card and told to call in the morning. The cocktail waitress told us "This isnt your area." And proceeded to laugh about it with the other waitress. By 12:30 we were crammed like sardines in the corner of the room and had absolutely no help at all from the bouncer so we left. We paid $750 for an hour and a half of madness and will never return or recommend this place to anyone. Huge disappointment!

Terrible experience, not worth the money. DO NOT GET A TABLE HERE!! ROOFIED, THINGS ADDED TO MY TAB, NOT PRIVATE, TERRIBLE SERVICE. For my birthday I purchased a table on their top level, only to have a table that was not separated and therefore random people kept coming into our section we paid for. People poured our alcohol, sat in our seating and none of the staff assisted. One random set of guys came over and winded up not only helping themselves, but also roofied 2 of us AND ordered a bottle on my tab!!! Management pretended to care for a day and never got back to me. I winded up paying over $700 for a table that was not roped off, not monitored, and to be drugged and have an awful birthday. Its unfortunate because the music and vibe was good otherwise. Just not worth the money, or the terrible experience.

FRIDAY I was able to purchase complimentary tics for Labor Day Monday cookout and day party through eventbrite for Decades. When I arrived At 520pm on Monday, the bouncer guy/front door men did honor tic because he said tic expired at 5pm. When I reviewed the tic, there were no time limit or expiration on tic or eventbrite. False advertisement. Any good establishment would honor the tic, due to the fact it did not have a time limit on the tic. That not my fault, but your advertisement committee. This tells me you lured patrons through false advertisement to come to the club, and once we got there you charged. Thats really bad you have to con people to get them to come to your club. Whether it is the club owner or promoter, Bad Business !!

Went out for my best friends birthday and had a blast! It was a Wednesday night and only the patio was open. Lost a star because of all the stairs we had to take to get to the top (not heel friendly) but once we got up there it was lit!!! Crowd went crazy when Bodak Yellow came on and themusic was good all night. One of her friends had a table but its like not roped off from the dance floor so I could see it getting annoying if random people keep flooding your table. All in all it was an awesome night and we will be back!

They told they dont allow tennis shows but they allow Adidas and nike to go in. Is it because I had Jordans. I felt discriminated and unwelcome. I dont understand how you allow someone in ealier but later no. Not a good place. You have to treat everyone equal and with the same respect. I have never felt so bad because I was just having fun with my friends. I had walk out line while they laugh at me. Smh

Good time. Over crowed on roof & 3rd foor. Alcohol is high.. and the price changes for bartender to bartender... roof charged $7 for 12oz bud light while lower floor only charged $6. Liquor drinks averaged $10-$14 a piece. The place only get 3 stars.. music was good, service was decent, but the $20 cover charge at 10 oclock is outrageous

I came in from Baltimore attended Labor Day...Day Party. 3 flights of steps was an killer to get to the roof top. Free drink special...there should had been more bartenders. 1 bartender... no way she gotten to every1 to serve. Didnt stay long... 30mins I was headed back to B-More. I need to stick with my age group 40 an over.
