This place may look special at 1st glance, but it's really not. It's just a wannabe, pretentious club atop a Lucky Strike bowling alley. On a Friday night, I was working with Crystal, the party promoter there and even though I knew it would be a dead night, I decided to invest our WHOLE joint birthday party with around 30 people at MBarGo, even though I had plenty of other clubs to choose from. Crystal promised my group free cover even if it got a little past midnight, and we all arrived there in groups of 6-7 people. Lo and behold the last group of us was charged cover, against the promise she made me. I even showed them the text message that Crystal, the promoter/organizer, sent me saying that we would all be fine with cover even after midnight. It's not that we were charged cover that bothered me, but that she went back on their word. Because I argued this as a matter of principle, the hawk-like staff (who outnumbered the patrons practically) were already threatening to kick me out out this point.
So, I decided to let this bad service slide and just sucked it up and went into the club. 15 minutes later the hawk-like staff spotted me pouring 5-Hour energy into my glass and they got ticked off thinking that I was pouring liquor into my glass and all the staff, including Crystal whom I had the planning relationship with all hovered above me and decided to kick me out - at my sister's birthday party! Â I told them it was my sister's 21st birthday and that 1/4 of the lackluster volume crowd was brought into the club that night by me, and it did not matter. A normal club with staff that caters to patrons would at least have let me stay. I even offered to buy a few Red Bulls to make up for my alleged mistake, to no avail.
This place definitely thinks they are too cool for school and they will not hesitate to ruin peoples' nights. They are losers that have a club in a mall in Novi above a bowling alley, yet they act like they are running some swank spot in Manhattan. Gimme a break. Crystal's Friday night party called "Candyshop" totally blew. She said over 100 girls RSVPed that night just to get my group to come there, and when I got there it was more empty than a brothel on Christmas. This club blows and more importantly their staff blows. I have a LOT of friends and connections in the metro Detroit nightlife scene, including promoters, and I will definitely be exercising my freedom of speech to get the word out on this place!
Club-goers, be aware! If you like good service, steer clear of this hell-hole. The only club in a mall above a bowling alley that will ever be useful is Sam's Club!!!
