Went to The society for the xp cd release show and was extremely disappointed with how the event was "managed" . I had a ticket however my friend did not so we showed up at 10mins after 5pm to get her a ticket as we were told would be possible if we showed up around that time, per the fb event page, We were 6th in line and waited around 1 hour and 45 mins before being informed that it was "sold out" . I do not appreciate my time being wasted when your staff could have notified us that they would in fact not be giving/selling tickets at the door unless you were a friend of theirs or someone they deemed attractive. Which by the way I witnessed with my own eyes several times. Nature of the business, perhaps but still B.S. none the less. Will not be returning

My good friend was brutally assaulted by three bouncers for flipping off one of their caps, when he was already outside of the establishment walking away. He was beaten with mag lights in the head until he was able to escape. The lead perpetrator is allegedly a police officer. There is a bouncer from there that is actually in prison for taking it too far. The dancing is quickly forgotten when you see a heinous act of violence. Long story short: DO NOT SUPPORT AN OWNER WHO ALLOWS HIS BOUNCERS TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN FELONS WEARING A BADGE. Take a look at Bonnies review from down below. Dont reward this behavior. Not even a great music or dancing spot anymore.

It was easy to find, drink prices were reasonable, i loved the set up inside other than the fact that the 1st time i was ever there there was no seating because it was all reserved for VIP. The music, i hate to say it, was meh. I would like the music a lot better if the dj could play a song even most of the way through, not like 45 seconds and then mix it with something that doesnt even have a similar base line or beat. And the thing that caught my attention the most was that it was DEAD from 10 until just about midnight and then it got crazy crowded. No room to dance at that point.

The best club Olympia has to offer. It is well staffed so it stays safe and clean. Customer service is great, especially the bartenders and waitresses. The wait for getting a drink isnt long at all. As for the music it is diverse enough so you can dance to the songs you like and sit when the songs you dont like play. Remember not everyone like the music that you do. As for people complaining about a 3$ cover. Maybe their time would be better spent looking for a job and not going out... lol :-P

When you reserve a VIP area they say $100 of that goes to your bar tab. Not the case when the actually really nice server comes out with the tab that should of only been $100 and it reads $200. Yeah Im pised! Also I had to bounce my own VIP area my bouncer was completely useless he kept inviting his own friends into my area that I had paid for. I suffer from PTSD and so did several of my guests that had to leave because the lack of concern, and customer service

This was my 1st time here since it changed from 1230 club. My bestie had her bachelorette VIP party here special reserved seating and bottle service. The music was poppin, the drinks were fabulous, our female server was always making sure we had drinks and she blended them well. The scene of guys and gals on the other hand was rather unattractive and thats an understatement. But thats olympia for ya. Lol great experience

Horrid!!!!!! The absolute worst place in Olympia. One of the bouncers grabbed my shirt, and breast, and pushed me down a couple stairs. When I asked for his name he became beligerent and cursed me out. He told me his name doesnt matter. I will NEVER go here again and encourage everyone else to do the same. Especially women.

I tried it three different occassions just to stay open-minded and regretted it every time. The cover charge was ridiculous considering the crowd. I felt like I was at a frat boy house party being hosted in a large living room of said bro dudes parents crib. The stereo quality sucked. Honestly, shoulda left it a bagel place.

Music was terrible! At one point, they put a danceable song on, but then cut it short after about a minute and kept shouting stuff at the crowd. Fair price for beer. Bathroom filled with graffiti. Ok crowd. $5 cover when I arrived. Last call was at 115 am.

The music sucked!!! The DJ played the 90s ALL night maybe 4 new songs. All the sitting was reserved so everybody is standing and your squashed from everyside. But theres a lot of people and if your really drunk it wont matter if the music sucks.

Cant wait to get out of this place. They used to play good music and the vibe was dope but now it sucks. They did remodel which is quite a big upgrade and superb but Djs letdown. Sound system is fine. Wont come back here again!!

Oliver Klozov

Great venue! Nice sound, heady crowd, great artists, friendly bartenders. I love this place!

David Nelson

Best place to drink tequila and make yourself ask what happened the night before in town!

Lime this place now. Didnt like it too much but they stepped there game up.

Adam Parent

Much like myself, it becomes more and more appealing after each drink.
