I havent been here on a normal night but I went to a private function last week. The staff get five stars from me! Bar tenders are so lovely!! The bouncers are professional and friendly. The establishment should be very proud!

1 Star Review by constance seeque

Kicked my sister out for no reason even tho she was the sober one of the group and had only two drinks Wasnt interacting with anyone but her fianc I wasnt even kicked out when I fell not even ten minutes before absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for. Theyre know for kicking people out for stupid reasons didnt think it was this bad Jesus.

1 Star Review by Dylan

This place smells like cracking open a 5000 year old Egyptian tomb, mixed in with some fermented athletes foot and stale beer. Not to mention the added insult of the terrible audio which is set way too high. May the ferral stench haunt the venue until the sun consumes the galaxy and all sense of smell is consumed by the cold vaccum of space.

1 Star Review by Emily Chapman

i give the argyle a ZERO out of ten. i didnt get let back in after i got genuine stamps to get back in the club. the security guard was rude and ignorant everyone is a dog

1 Star Review by Robert Johnson

Great place, but very bias bouncers. They are more than happy to kick out paying customers who haven't had anything to drink over cute girls who are wasted. When the priority is making guys pay more Money over having genuine customers, if that's what your business model depends on, then make a better business model. As someone with an RSA, I know what they go through; but that doesn't excuse poor business practices.
