hmmm... I been here several times and I guess I've had a good time every time I've been here. I've never seen hookah here so I don't know what Yelp is talking about. The music is decent, you can sorta dance, but in my opinion if you are looking for a "city-styled" club, this isn't for you. Â Imagine a restaurant with a DJ and cool light. Â That is what Venue is.
Beach kids love it and the parking situation is great, but I've never had an AMAZING time.
I practically lived at Venue. On any given night it was full of people - locals, visitors, and you are bound to run into a bunch of your friends. I would go so often that the staff knows me by name. I've NEVER had a place like that, so it always feels like home. Corny, I know, but it's the best way to describe it. Ever have one of those wild nights that started with a plan to have a drink and lay low but the crowd and music and vibe and drinks just escalated your night into a great story that everyone is piecing together over breakfast the next morning? That's what happens to me at Venue - every single time.
Food. The food is really good too. Not "really good" because you're drunk and starving and everything tastes amazing. It's really good even BEFORE all of that. Taco Tuesday, ugh, I melt. Those tacos are so effing good. And the specials make it even harder to resist.
Drinks. Good and heavily poured if ya know what I mean. Not too strong that it tastes like sh*t, either - just right.
Staff. Really attentive, classy, and not fcking snobs, which is really important to me. Like I said, like home, everyone's happy having a good time, there for the same reason.
Karaoke on Tuesday - you gotta go sing. You're up on a platform so your friends can take video easily and embarrass you on youtube lol. Or at least go for a good laugh to see the drunk people who REALLY think they sound amazing. Take vid of them too ;)
Music. The DJs spin chicks right out of their panties, they're so good. I've seen it happen!
Dancing. There's a bunch of raised platforms where any girls can go up and dance. Ah, so many options of epic pics and videos here.
There's also the less rowdy side that's connected. So it can be a date spot too where you can hear each other and guys can pretend they're listening to what their dates are saying...let's be real, you dgaf, especially because ESPN is usually on the TV's there. The food, staff and drinks are the same on this side, just a little more intimate setting.
That sums it up. See you there, let's do a shot!
Venue 112 is always a great place to drink and have a good time at. Â Sometimes it gets pretty packed, but who wouldn't want to go to a place that's busy....if anything, that's a plus in my book. Â Bartenders are on point, always remembers what you ordered prior, and have drinks ready as soon as one is finished. Â It's definitely got a club scene atmosphere, never fails to entice u to party like a 'Rockstar', and have shots all night long lol....if that's not your thing, sit and chill at a booth with friends, that's always good. Â Food is amazing, and they serve late!! Especially after they stop serving alcohol, many of times I just stay to have food before heading home.....those days where everyone meets at IHOP afterwards are long gone (figuratively speaking hahaha).... To each is own, everyone's got their own taste and preference, but Venue 112 is definitely a highly recommend, and one of my all time favs...
Review Source:I am surprised to see some of the bad reviews on here associated to how people have been treated. Every time my fiancée and I have visited Venue, we were treated as if we were the most important customers. As for food and drinks, Mojitos are amazing and the food has been great, I liked the upscale presentation and unique menu items.
Review Source:I've been here several times with my husband and friends and always had a good time until tonight. Jon the bartender aka "the guy who runs things" according to security kicked my husband out because he didn't tip him on one of the 6 rounds our party had purchased. I was in complete disbelief that this happened considering while my husband was ordering our round there was a belligerent drunk throwing paper napkins in his face however he felt it necessary to say "What did you leave me earlier?" "Okay then you'll have to wait!" We planned on making it a night there so we planned on leaving more than what we had already left between the party was a total of over 25 dollars. So I suppose the moral of this story don't come here if you're drinking on a budge you might get kicked out too. It may also be because my husband is black and he had a problem with it but regardless it was an unnecessary move. I will never come to this establishment to be embarrassed again. Save yourself the money and go to an establishment that will appreciate your business.
Review Source:So, mayhaps, because we did not go here with the immediate intentions of slammin back some shots & cruisin on some chicks - just maybe that is why we did not enjoy ourselves here.
The atmosphere is very overwhelming. Super tribal 'cool' sort of look that made me want to say "Bro" a lot and for some inexplicable reason buy a Tapout t-shirt....
Anyway, the service was very slow. Our steaks were very bland. I have a feeling this is very much a 'club' aimed scene and does not actually intend to provide you with customer service or satisfactory dining.
There was napkins all over the floor, so women were walking around with paper stuck to their heels! The dress code is not posted and the bartenders ridicule patrons who are turned away! Policies are understandable and well needed when alcohol is served, but I was offended that a place of business would feel the need to criticize people who are willing to come in and spend money. A polite refusal was all that was needed! After witnessing that ordeal, I have decided to not go back! And a few people have said that they were let in initially but after leaving out and returning, we're refused entry because of what they were wearing. Poor management!!!!!
Review Source:Well...a planned night to just chill at a bar and sip on a few drinks turned into one of hell of a buzz. Â My buddy and I were searching for a new hang out a few Fridays ago and decided to give this place a shot.
I really like this place but just have been too busy to come back to hang out. Â For starters they have a separate room for smokers. Â In seeing this my buddy and I planned to puff on our cigars but got so into the bar scene we hung out all night. Â They had a DJ playing some kick ass remixes. Â There were a few TV screens around the bar that allowed us to keep up with what was going on in the sports world. Â Drinks were pretty strong (attributing to my buzz). Â
The place gives off a good party roll with your entourage feel. Â Instead of confetti being tossed into the air they use napkins. Â Apparently napkins are cheaper than confetti. Â When you walk into the joint there are two separate "VIP" like areas that are good for groups. Â If you're into people watching patrons will get up on the table and dance. Â
They do serve food but we didn't eat so I'll have to give that a try later. Â I do remember seeing some flyers advertising big parties. Â When I'm in the mood to get another buzz I'll come back.
I always enjoy hanging out here for a few reasons: the drinks are strong and not overpriced; the food is excellent; separate smoking room so people don't hang around and clog up the entrance; hookah options are pretty darn good; clean bathrooms; and watching the karaoke is super entertaining.
The waitresses look a bit slutty, but I think that's part of the appeal to the dude crowd, along with the football on TV. Clientele can be a little rough, but the people watching is first class.
Go here only if-
You are all about tribal tattoos and back tattoos.
You really miss going to frat parties.
You don't want to hear anything your friends have to say over the loud music.
You don't mind seeing ugly people and pretty people shaking ass at each other.
You like ridiculously strong drinks. Â (I'm pretty sure their mixers are nothing more than food coloring.)
You are unafraid of packs of overly-muscled guys clad in Tap-Out or Ed Hardy muscle shirts that give you and everyone you came with the once over that says, Â "I will either fight you or f*ck you. Â And it makes no difference to me which one it will be."
You want to pretend that you got invited to a very rich celebrity's living room and want to throw down like a rock star. Â (And really, this place feels as big as a living room.)
You like seeing side-boob and bottom-buttcheek. Â When you're here you will see both on men as well as women.
You are a lonely soul that really wants to meet your soul mate. Â If only the world can see past the outward appearances and facades that we all put on as armor to shield us from the rest of the world. Â Maybe, just maybe, if I dance hard enough and drink as much as I can, he or she can see the real me trapped inside here..... Â Or you can just go here for a dirty hook-up O.P.P- style.
Otherwise, go somewhere else.
(P.S.- I claim Flelp on the rest of the reviews for this place except for Lauren D.'s review that got unfairly filtered.)
This review is a little late but I went here with a few of my friends in January and as much as I hate to say it but it was absolutely terrible.
Our waitress didn't acknowledge our presence for about 10mins after we had sat down (whatever, no big deal) she took our drink orders and within 10mins we had our drinks. The downside came when we ordered our food. It took forever to come, 20mins at least. To add insult to injury our waitress neglected to bring us silverware even after she brought the food (by now we've been sitting for 40mins at least.) While waiting for silverware we ordered another round of drinks. I realize finding a bar that actually serves strong mixed drinks is usually awesome however, I ordered another of the same drink (can't recall the name of it) and it was SO strong I couldn't even drink it. NO ONE in our group of 5 could. The drink was something like $8 and it was a total waste. The bartender probably could have made 2 or 3 drinks out of my 1 drink.
As far as the food goes we ordered the she crab soup, crap mac n' cheese, calamari, and a regular burger. Supposedly the burger was good BUT the crab mac n' cheese had SOOOOOO many shells we couldn't even eat it. It was in fact the worst thing I have ever experienced when it comes to food. I realize bar food isn't exactly 5 star quality usually but really? There were more shells than crab meat. The worst part was that our waitress never returned for us to even complain.
Decor was nice, from the moment we walked in we had high hopes but in the end we wasted around $100.
