Rain

I came due to an invitation from their Facebook site promising a great night at their Country Fridays...well, a great night is the last thing any of the people in my party had!

Our party got to the front door where we presented our ID's.  I was first and was allowed inside.  My friends, on the other hand were detained by the bouncer and owner.  

I was speaking with the cover charge counter woman [who was very nice] when I heard one of my friends call out to me, I turned around and came back out into the lobby area to find the owner was giving my friends a very hard time.  

When I asked what the problem was, the owner informed me that my friends did not look like their licenses.  My reply was "who really truly does?".  When he stated that none of my friends would get in, even after only identifying 2 of the 5 in our party, he then turned to me and said "You are not going in either!" and then in a loud voice, told us to leave.

When I informed him that his behavior was rude and that his identification process was illlegal [almost no one looks like their license.  A properly trained doorman will check eyes and face structure for proper ID of a person], he then turned loud and demanded we leave, which we did.

The next day, some of our mutual friends asked where we were that night, and I informed them of the evening.  A total fun evening ruined because of one man and his attitude!

Let's just say that I have taken action against the establishment, where the owner claims to have the incident "on video tape" and at every hearing has yet to bring it!  This only serves to show the true colors of this establishment, and I will not recommend it to anyone EVER!

There are much nicer, more classier establishments within minutes of this place...give them your business.  They will certainly work hard to earn it!

I've been to Rain many (maybe to many) times and on any given night it can be a 1 star or 5 star experience.

Pros:
-Great shows and theme nights! They have some of the best older acts and the ticket prices are always reasonable. I just went to see the 80s/90s King of Freestyle Stevie B. (I've been to see him a few times). They recently had SWV, and upcoming shows with Bret Michael and Bell Biv Devoe.
-Nice setup and decor. Their is tons of seating and 3 different bars nicely spread out across the place. The decor overall feels a little upscale (it's nice!)
-Free Parking
-Outdoor smoking area that is covered and heated, and you can bring your drinks.
-Woman walking around selling pizza by the slice. I've only seen her earlier in the night (maybe I'm to drunk to notice later). Some people laugh at it, but you never know when you can use a slice :)

Cons:
-Drink are priced a little to high, especially when you get a bartender with a light pour
-The employees can be assholes sometimes. I was dancing next to a girl that dropped and broke a glass. She just moved away, so I told one of the big burly bouncers (thinking that, oh I don't know, they might want to clean it up before someone falls and hurts themselves). His response was "what do you want me to do about it, you shouldn't have dropped your cup". I didn't drop shit, I was just being nice, but whatever
-Bathrooms are to small and almost always running low on soap

There is definitely a good amount of older people, but I love it. Watching them party like it's 1979 gives me something to laugh at (not to their faces, I'm not that much of a bitch!)

Country Line dancing night is a lot of fun.  You can't let the "trashy" look of the bowling alley next door scare you away, once in RAIN the crowd is a lot nicer.
