Shrine Nightclub Concerts 2024

Bottle waitresses are amazing Good sound qulity for concerts or djs. Expensive drinks, but that comes with the territory .

Jose, the VIP Manager, is just incredible. He truly made my little brother’s 21st birthday. His professionalism, kindness & sincerity is so rare to find- especially in the club scene. They’re lucky to have someone like him representing their company. I’ve been coming to Shrine for years & have always loved it, but after this? Shrine will forever be getting mine & my family’s business- & praise! Thank you again Jose, from the bottom of my heart.

Went there for our bachelor/ bachelorette party only to get kicked out for absolutely no reason. Management was high on a power trip. I was asked to move to a certain location by one of the ladies working and I was waiting for people to stop coming so I could squeeze by. Was then asked to leave for “disrespecting his staff” I’m the first person to admit if I’m in the wrong… the management and employees did not handle the situation properly whatsoever and was MANHANDLED by security and they RIPPED MY DRESS. Disgusting. They also let people in wearing sneakers and t shirts so don’t expect anything fancy!! Will not be going back, will not recommend and am super disappointed.

The nightclub itself is nice, good layout, good bar, good service…. but be prepared if you actually came to see a dj you will be waiting/ standing for 3 hours. Once your standing in the pit there’s no point to leave to loose your spot, so you can’t even reach the bar to get drinks or go to the bathroom. if you do good luck. vip is just a difference between behind a rope or not. If a guy invites you to vip just stay in ur spot it’s not worth it 😭 i give an over all 6/10, ive been to many concerts and have never had to wait that long for the artist to come out and i could actually drink at other places while i waited. Two tito’s soda was 40ish, that was expected though. The Bottle girls are super super pretty.

NOVEMBER 2023 EDIT AT THE BOTTOM: First and foremost, I bought tickets on ticket master for a lil Jon concert. After I purchased the tickets I noticed in the confirmation email that the shrine had a dress code. I immediately emailed them to make sure this dress code was still in affect and also figure out what the heck we can actually wear since almost everything isn’t allowed. They told me the dress code was still in affect. No problem. We all bought outfits and let me tell you, They weren’t cheap considering it was all what we “Could” wear. We got to Foxwoods and noticed not a single person was “Dressed up” like we were. I’m in a dress and heels and it’s like -20 outside. It’s now 8:30, We found the shrine and asked the security man what time we could start waiting in line. He said 9:00. I said really? It starts at 9:00. He said nothing. We gambled for a bit, Me and my friend went to the bathroom and next thing we know there’s a massive line formed outside the shrine. Okay??? Lol. He said we couldn’t form a line until 9 but for these people it’s okay I guess. We get in line and notice NOBODY is in dress code. Nobody. People had hoodies on, a work boots, They all had on normal clothes. I’m aggravated because I wouldn’t have wore a dress in heels if I would have known the dress code wasn’t actually a thing. We get inside and a lady checks our tickets so I say to them “Do you guys not have a dress code anymore?” They say well we do but it’s very relaxed now. I said oh because I called and emailed about it and they told me it was very strict, They basically said it depends who you talk to. Okay. Great. So we spent a bunch of money on outfits when we could have just wore normal clothes. Great 😂 I went straight to the bar when we got in the club. Spent $85 on two vodka redbulls and three shots of crown royal. The club was packed. But the weird thing was… Where’s lil Jon?? The dj was playing Drake, Rihanna, The jackson five, I mean. The song choices were not what I expected. At all. I read online it was from 9-12. We were there the whole time but lil Jon was not. At about 11:50 some lady was trying to start a fight with my friend for dancing… In a club… with us. So instead of brawling at the club we left before things went sideways. Apparently right after we left Lil Jon came. I don’t even think he was there for an hour. Huge disappointment. I had a fun time but I think that’s because I was highly intoxicated lol. I don’t think I would come back to the shrine for another event. NOVEMBER 2023 EDIT: We came back to the Shrine to see Dillion Francis. We wanted to give it another try. This time we didn’t go as crazy following the “Dress code” but we did it cautiously. Once again, There really wasn’t a dress code lol. We still could have wore whatever we wanted. When we came in the shrine we noticed they had moved the gate for the “Club” area so it was even smaller than before. We just assumed maybe they weren’t expecting a big crowd. Grabbed a $20 Vodka redbull before the set started because I knew from last time I needed to be hammered for this place. Vodka redbull was actually super weak this time. I got to experience the shrine sober this time unfortunately and it was still terrible. People were belly to belly, breathing on each other, Kicking each other, Stomping on each other. It was something else. Once again it says the event starts at 9, So we got there at 9. Around 12:20 we’re starting to get really inpatient and annoyed. It was so crowded you couldn’t even move your body, We were standing by a rope near the VIP tables and they started letting a few people in over there around midnight. Everytime someone would come in they would be sandwiched between us, They couldn’t move, We couldn’t move. It was starting to get too much. And once again where is the performer ? The Dj this time was pretty good. The music was way better than last time. I just don’t think they have enough room to hold these type of events. I understand it’s a “club” but it’s not even safe. We left at about 12:30. No Dillion.
