Literally the worst bar Ive ever been to. Wouldnt let me see my friends. They were kicking people out to avoid bad publicity which they obviously received over the years they been in operation. Take your business elsewhere.

This place is seriously gross. The floors are sticky, the bathrooms are dirty, and the ceiling leaks. I wouldnt want to know what this place looks like when the lights are turned on.To make matters worse, they nickel and dime you all night. Vinyl has a cover, a paid coat check, and bathroom attendants who demand tips.Im a good tipper. I always have been. So I decided to save my tip for the end of the night. But as soon as I leave the bathroom, the attendant hands me a paper towel (what a load off my mind!) and points to the tip jar asking for a little love.Really? Here, have a dollar.

I live around the corner and it is too loud. The amount of skanks and hoes that walk through my neighborhood to this club is incredible. Also the amount of young people that cant hold their liquor love to desecrate of lawns thanks vinyl you are awesome

Upon arival made the snap judgment of what are we doing here. After things got going noticed Ive never seen so many people, mostly young people, form many different sides of the track having fun. Black, white, gay, and bi.

Went out there with few co-workers and we had good time. Place is older and outdated but music was good. Owner was nice and offered us few free rounds. Place could use more crowd.

This place is ratchet & dirty. Security is TRASH! I was assaulted for no reason and security was friends with the girl who did it. Security restrained my hands from behind as I was half way out the door security started punching my head from behind, it was just her behind me no one else. I was kicked out and not the girl who started. It’s a UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT at vynl and they will do nothing to resolve these situations. Get new STAFF & have them actually do their job. 0 star if I could. You will never get another dollar from me.

Lines on Thursday’s are always too long to sit in the cold and wait. On 18+ night they charge a cover fee and most of the crowd is underage just looking to get some action. Only come here if you’re desperate!

I definitely recommend going to Vinyl if you want to enjoy some epic 90s and early 2000s music in a club that allows for safe space dancing. Vinyl is the perfect place to go with a group of ladies with a big age range (21 years to 58 years)... every one is able to dance to music they enjoy. Vinyl is a great place to go for bottle service as well. They offer bottle service packages that are reasonable in cost. Additionally, the staff and service of Vinyl was excellent. They were very attentive to our needs and willing to go above and beyond with any request we asked. Anyone that is in the process of organizing a bachelorette party/ladies night that is looking for a safe place to dance then make sure to add Vinyl to your list!

Usually crowded, service is ok. Occasionally there is live music. Good place to hit up with groups of friends.

I had a blast the first time I went there with my friends, so I wanted to go back to introduce my friend to the environment since shes never been there. This time around it was a little different. The first bartender (she was blonde but I dont know her name) didnt make my drink correctly and I had to ask her to add the other part to it (a tequila sunrise shouldnt look completely pink and taste carbonated). There were four bartenders total and none of them seemed to want to serve anyone. The blonde one was on her phone the whole time, and one of the guy bartenders was vaping everywhere on everything. Really weird second experience.

Horrible club, would never go there and buy a drink again because they will just charge your card multiple times and block your card. Smells like piss and have disgusting floor. Bunch of men who have no self control and will touch women without their consent. Your place is trash.

You can come in a full on suit, but if you are African-American you are going to need luck to get in this club.
