Been here twice so far and had a pretty decent experience. I had fun and never had any issues with my drinks. The only downsides are that the floor is sometimes pretty slippery and the DJ was okay but maybe could’ve been better.

Hands down this place has the best sounds, stage lighting, djs, staff, different genres of music on 2 dance floors, super easy street parking or a big lot across the street to park. Definitely a must see and there is no other club in the South Sound that can even compare. This place has the best vibes and the best atmosphere you could want and/or need in a nightclub! Have fun! :)

The society is beautiful and staff are nice but if your wanting to dance this is not the best place to go. The DJ is the worst ive ever heard he cant transitions the music and it sounds like someone has it on the worst pandora station just hitting next. If they got a better DJ this place would be perfect.

You know I believe in second chances. So I’m going to give this place one more chance before I rate it again. They kicked me out saying I was too drunk when I had a drink and a half. Which is impossible because no one gets drunk that fast. On top of that the bouncer at the door asked me how much I had to drink. If I was too drunk to enter the blues he should/could have turned me away. Instead they let me in, pay my 5$ then 14 dollars for BOTH my drinks. So I’ll give this place one last chance.

Almost cool. The place had a “DJ” that took to requests only because he was preparing for a week for the night... that sounds like a playlist. Not a DJ

Pretty concerning how many people get drugged there... Its clearly the workers there doing it. Be safe and atleast be with friends if youre going to be naive and enter.

If I could give zero I would. My son was roofied there. His girlfriend got one drink for him, he couldnt remember the entire night. It was thought to go to her but it went to him. Finding out he is definitely not the first or last. Makes me very angry!!!

Wow just wow. Great place. Love the pool table, lounge seating on one side and a real club experience on the other side. Not to bad of a line wait. Definitely going back!!!!

We were served two drinks then kicked out! For being to drunk even tho I was clearly not drunk befor the show that I paid for 6 tickets to see with no refund! Staff was rude, never going back and would not recommend.

Beware of shady staff and thuggish/trashy bouncers.

Literally the biggest and best party in town with “big city” entertainment and production quality in a smaller town. Highly recommend! Don’t let the negative reviews guide you cause it seems they’re only from people who got kicked out for misbehaving.

I liked the front dance floor with more edm music. The back dance floor was too crowded and too many predator type men and drunk chicks spilling their drinks. Out front was a smaller dance floor but more respectful people.

Cant wait to get out of this place. They used to play good music and the vibe was dope but now it sucks. They did remodel which is quite a big upgrade and superb but Djs letdown. Sound system is fine. Wont come back here again!!

Dont waste your time at this DUMP! The bouncer Vince (claim to be part owner) and a tall white guy, Question my friend ID said the weight dont match. I thought the purpose of a photo ID is to make sure its your face in the picture, and thats it a real ID not to complain that someone may have gain weight in 4 years. I told him not to even pay, lets just leave I wont waste my time or money, at a place that act like they dont want us there, it isnt even popping or full in the first place, its filled with people on the outside too broke to go inside, with a lot of homless people blending in downtown olympia. Why do trashy bars like this think they can treat their customers like this and continue to thrive as a business? Go to Seattle.

I usually love coming here with my friends, but my last experience was not so great. My husband tried going outside the club with a drink in his hand & was shoved by a bouncer & cursed at. Who treats people like that?

The best club Olympia has to offer. It is well staffed so it stays safe and clean. Customer service is great, especially the bartenders and waitresses. The wait for getting a drink isnt long at all. As for the music it is diverse enough so you can dance to the songs you like and sit when the songs you dont like play. Remember not everyone like the music that you do. As for people complaining about a 3$ cover. Maybe their time would be better spent looking for a job and not going out... lol :-P

Girls that think there hot because they are 5s when olympia has average 3s. They date wannabes or think they are tough guys. The Bouncers that have power trips and scare all the customers off. Few more years owner files bankruptcy. Unless he can get a reality t.v show contract so they can show poser guys they have a place in this world and the girls Will like them being dirt bags.

Review №25

Music was terrible! At one point, they put a danceable song on, but then cut it short after about a minute and kept shouting stuff at the crowd. Fair price for beer. Bathroom filled with graffiti. Ok crowd. $5 cover when I arrived. Last call was at 115 am.

When you reserve a VIP area they say $100 of that goes to your bar tab. Not the case when the actually really nice server comes out with the tab that should of only been $100 and it reads $200. Yeah Im pised! Also I had to bounce my own VIP area my bouncer was completely useless he kept inviting his own friends into my area that I had paid for. I suffer from PTSD and so did several of my guests that had to leave because the lack of concern, and customer service

My good friend was brutally assaulted by three bouncers for flipping off one of their caps, when he was already outside of the establishment walking away. He was beaten with mag lights in the head until he was able to escape. The lead perpetrator is allegedly a police officer. There is a bouncer from there that is actually in prison for taking it too far. The dancing is quickly forgotten when you see a heinous act of violence. Long story short: DO NOT SUPPORT AN OWNER WHO ALLOWS HIS BOUNCERS TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN FELONS WEARING A BADGE. Take a look at Bonnies review from down below. Dont reward this behavior. Not even a great music or dancing spot anymore.

Review №32

It was easy to find, drink prices were reasonable, i loved the set up inside other than the fact that the 1st time i was ever there there was no seating because it was all reserved for VIP. The music, i hate to say it, was meh. I would like the music a lot better if the dj could play a song even most of the way through, not like 45 seconds and then mix it with something that doesnt even have a similar base line or beat. And the thing that caught my attention the most was that it was DEAD from 10 until just about midnight and then it got crazy crowded. No room to dance at that point.

Review №33

Horrid!!!!!! The absolute worst place in Olympia. One of the bouncers grabbed my shirt, and breast, and pushed me down a couple stairs. When I asked for his name he became beligerent and cursed me out. He told me his name doesnt matter. I will NEVER go here again and encourage everyone else to do the same. Especially women.

Went to The society for the xp cd release show and was extremely disappointed with how the event was managed . I had a ticket however my friend did not so we showed up at 10mins after 5pm to get her a ticket as we were told would be possible if we showed up around that time, per the fb event page, We were 6th in line and waited around 1 hour and 45 mins before being informed that it was sold out . I do not appreciate my time being wasted when your staff could have notified us that they would in fact not be giving/selling tickets at the door unless you were a friend of theirs or someone they deemed attractive. Which by the way I witnessed with my own eyes several times. Nature of the business, perhaps but still B.S. none the less. Will not be returning
