Effex Nightclub Reviews

New Year Eve party 2023. We reached there pretty late (40 mins before 12) and the line was not too long. Disappointing that they got cash and let people cut the line. We were told the entry was $10 while in the line but when we reached in, they charged us $25 pp. it was not worth it at all. The vibe was good. Music was good. Drinks good. But very poor service. Very disorganized.

New to night clubs. I was going to visit a few times before reviewing but the bartender (ripped and tatted guy) at the top floor refused service because I didn’t tip for a beer the first time? To quote him, he immediately told me after waiting 20 minutes in line “do you work for free? — you don’t tip so I’m not serving you” (Something like that. I was tipsy and the music is loud.) The beer is already pricey (he charged me $6 for a miller lite) so I assumed they were paid enough for an area like this. The guy popped open the cap and expected a tip for that? Mind you, I tip pretty well at bars and restaurants. But for a cheap beer? Genuinely don’t understand. Brushed it off since I had my wine before heading in anyway. As far as security, i haven’t had a problem with them. They were always cool with me as a single guy walking in and dancing well (wink). I’d assume coming in before 10:30PM will give you an easy pass since they need people inside. Otherwise, it gets packed after 11:30PM or so. Aside from that, the music on the top floor hits the spot for me. Restrooms are not too bad, building as a whole isn’t too shabby either. But again, new to night clubs. Give this place a try. Forgot to mention, the last time I came here, the mid level bartender was HAMMERED by 9:30PM. Bouncing around the counter for a beer. Didn’t really care at the time since she charged me properly like the rest. ($4 for a miller lite). Still felt bad for her though. Tip: Ask for the drink prices before handing your money. Prevents them from stealing a dollar or two.

Downvoting this place all the way. What others are saying about the security is 100% correct. I was relaxing, enjoying a drink on one of the couches. I just got in after paying the cover charge, and was half watching the crowd dancing, half scrolling Facebook on my phone. Some girl approached me and said I was "staring at girls" and was going to report me. I apologized for the confusion, and said I was only watching the crowd having a good time and enjoying the music. I was not drunk and was only on my first drink. I sat back down, and a moment later, security told me that "there were some complaints" and I had to go. I wasn't drunk and I wasn't doing anything wrong. So, my assumption is that security will kick people out if they hear or suspect anything they dislike. i.e. vapes, they assume a person is too drunk, a single (baseless) complaint, etc. Annoying experience all around. I was just visiting the city to take care of my aunt in hospice all weekend and I wanted to have a fun evening. Kind of ruined the whole night for me, personally. Never going again and want my money back. And to that girl; get over yourself. Even if I was looking at girls, it's a night club. Like, seriously?

I was here once before and it was a good time! However, I went again last night with my two friends and we got wrongfully kicked out. We were only there for an hour and a half and had 1 drink and 1 shot. We witnessed other people getting kicked out as well who weren’t even intoxicated. Total waste of our time and I want my money back.

Security is so unprofessional. Paid extra for tickets to an event they didnt let my friend In cuz he had a vape, okay fine. Was trying to tell him we will empty our pockets in our car and come back. Power hungry man banned us from coming in at all. Told all his power hungry buddies. It's not even worth it.
