So the club plays great hip hop/top 40's hits...the crowd is very mixed but the drinks are over priced and small! Plus have to pay $20 @ the door...even if your on the guestlist!

worst "fill in the blank" ever

this is my first review and of course it has to be on a horrible horrible experience. my bday, first time ever getting a VIP table.. my friends all on the guest-list. we were practically the first ones in line. ladies on guest-list supposed to be free before 1030.. not the case.. they charged my friends full price $20 to get in. said they didn't know anything about a guest-list. Then when I go to get my table they said I needed a 4 table minimum because of all the people. Then instead of giving us a cabana, they tried to sit us on this dinky lawn chair looking thing which was right in the front of the club. All of a sudden, the cabanas are a 2 bottle minimum. The lady who was handling everything said we should be grateful that we were even able to get what we got, and even referred to herself as "GOD" because she counted the number of people in the group. Also she said all of the tables are pretty much filled up. Well needless to say they weren't... maybe 2 other people in the club got bottle service. Me and my friends practically were sitting on like 4 tables... which meant i didn't have to spend 5hundred for the baby bottle of patron, for horrendous service and the worst headache ever. The whole place smelled like weeed which is hella tacky. I even renamed it club weeed. The place is way too packed and they say to dress trendy but you can go in wearing baggy t-shirts or anything you want really. They pick and choose who they want to go in but the place sucks, let’s be honest. The music inside is old gangster rap and when a good new song comes in, they play like 1/3 of it. The outside music is pretty cool, ranges from 80's to new music but it's just too much variety from one song to the next. All of the staff treat you like you're krap and you're supposed to know everything. They even make a killing off of the DD's charging for coke and water. They don't care about how people get home as long as you make it out of the club.

To top it all off, I set my camera down because some drinks were spilled on the table. No one was really paying attention to where my camera was. Some guy came by and just wrapped up the whole table cloth with my camera in it. There’s no way he did it by accident. That guy took advantage of a hectic situation. When we went back to the parking structure I realized I didn't have my camera. I went back down to see if I could look for it and the bouncer said to talk to security. I was trying to be as nice as I could but being nice doesn't count for shyt in Hollywood. The security guy or whatever... in his late 40's, steroid abuse looking fellow was so rude about it. All he was worried about was which skank was trashed enough to take home. Didn’t want to hear anything I had to say. He just kept telling me to call in on Monday and they would have it. To top it all off, the guy who I was sure who took my camera was standing there the whole time listening to me with a smug look on his face. The bouncer even kept telling him to just give me back my camera. I don’t know if they were being natural jackasses or if someone was telling the truth. I wait until Monday; I call in hoping to talk to someone with reason. Some lady who sounded as if she just woke up at 11am picked up the phone already with attitude. I explained the situation; she asked why I waited to call and then said there was nothing in lost and found. I guess she would know "IF" she worked in lost and found but she didn't even say she was going to look. She didn't want to take down any info cuz I’m sure she's sure that it'll never be found. She even assured me none of the staff would've taken my camera. My bday pics and everything else was lost and they didn't give a dam. I shelled out money for something I didn't have to. They treated VIP’s like sob's. Go to this club is you like being verbally abused. Def don't take people here if you want to impress them. If you hate someone, tell them to go to this club and Monday you'll have a smile o

I went to this club twice and the first time my party was unable to get in because we arrived to late. Two months later we decided to check this club out again and it just wasn't worth it.The bouncers at the door were rude a**holes.Ordinary folks were not welcome.They were telling people if they weren't on a guess list they were not getting in, but for the right price of 20 dollars per person( in addition to the 20 dollar cover price) they would let you in. We made plans in advance this time so we didn't have to deal with that, but it was really messed up the way they were doing the people who drove so far to be there. The club has a nice layout and decor, but I would have had a better time at a hole in the wall. The drinks were really over priced, the ground was not high heel friendly, the restroom was way to small for a place that size, the dance floors were to small and service was horrible. I guess it's cool if you intend to just kick back and lounge, but they won't ever be getting any of my money again.

The line was super long if you didn't have bottle service.The staff, especially for bottle service, are exceptionally rude and don't appreciate that you're spending at least fifteen hundred dollars on alcohol that is over priced 300%. Tanya, who is in charge of the bottle service, was very rude to my party and the party in the next cabana. Often found arguing with the customers and shooshing them to be quiet when you tried to talk to her. Mind you, they also oversell their tables , she said this to me, so even if you reserve you can get asked out because they overbook. She wouldn't even give us a double cabana even though we spent over 2000 dollars yet she quoted it to me on email that we would. The manager also was very unfriendly and rude and insulted me when we questioned our bill. The only person who was not rude was the security guard that they sent to watch us when we were questioning our bill. The people that work there are money hungry, greedy, selfish, high horsed a-holes. I've NEVER been treated that way in club especially when we were spending sooo much money on bottle service. Tanya, the manager, and the waitress REALLY ruined a night that was supposed to be special. Thanks Cabana Club! I will never refer this club and sadly I work at several colleges so future customers will be sure they are advised not to spend money at the Cabana Club. ...Also, the club has holes and bumpy unleveled ground so you can easily twist your ankle or fall so you must walk with caution in heels. And it was sooo crowded because it is a small club. You felt like livestock trying to move.
