What People Are Saying About Denim Lounge
The Editor

In Short – High-fashion drama is evident as the denim-upholstered elevator takes patrons from the street level to a second-story lounge-restaurant with a metallic fringed bar lit by electric-blue panels. The deeper blues and reds of the private drinking rooms are softened by the dining area's dove-colored suede banquettes. Urbane glamour is furthered by drink lockers, weekly DJs and a fusion menu. The well-heeled crowd adheres to a not-too-demanding dress code: Jeans are allowed. –

Above all: Horrible Staff
by kitty m
If my experience means anything, even the most unassuming, tasteful patron will have a horrible experience at denim. A manager there threw my boyfriend out literally 5 minutes after paying cover for wearing a baseball hat, claiming he'd given him [my boyfriend] 'ten warnings' as he threw us out the door. A bartender even agreed that there was something wrong with the manager in the tone he took with us. He was a small man in an ill fitting suit, but I don't want to attribute it to his Napoleon complex. Rather, I hope he was having a bad night. I hope he doesn't randomly eject you too in the middle of a good night! Good luck. :o(
- Pros: Space
- Cons: Every employee you come in contact will be ignorant and rude

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.....I WAS LEFT TO DIE
by nothappy4
DENIM!!! All I have to say is that this place is HORRIBLE!! All the way down to the people who attend, the owners, the bouncers....the cops....everyone is a Sc*m bag there. I was assaulted there and left to die on the dance floor. I went to Denim one night with my boyfriend....it was around 1:30 am we were walking out....when all of a sudden...one of the owners walk in with his gf and start pushing everyone out of their way IN THE CROWD UPSTAIRS. The owner pushes me back....for no reason. He thinks just because he owns a place he can treat people like dirt. So he pushes me back and my bf comes to my rescue and they kick him out for no reason. The bouncers threaten him and say we can either do this the easy way or hard way. They take him out and leave me up there....as I am walking out the psycho bimbo ugly gf grabs my neck and pursues to choke me. She caught me off guard. The owner and her start laughing in my face and say ur gunna die b***h ur gunna f****ing die. I go in and out of consciousness fighting for my last breath. As she lets go for a quick sec she continues to assault me. No one comes to my rescue...no vigilante...no bouncer...no owner no one. everyone watches and eggs the ugly b***h on. She continues to attack my head pull my hair....as I am trying to get away from tall ugly girl... she knocks me to the ground....and other guys and girls in the club join in and continue to assault me. I was knocked out..... going in and out of consciousness when I wake up to guys and girls kicking me on the floor. I scream for help and I am just left there. Finally the f*****g bouncers take the girl off me.... leave me on the dance floor lifeless...while people continue to dance. People literally were kicking me with their leg to see if I was alive or dead. Finally a girl who steps up screams someone help her do somtin....a big guy puts me to my feet as I walk out screaming and telling the whole club that I am calling the police. Everyone in the club who is there looks scared...thinking that the cops are coming... To make a long story short coincidentally the cops were parked right outside the club. I go up to their car with my bf who i reunited with outside..... i tell the cops what happened to me...and they dont give a s**t. They refused to go back in the club with me so i could point out who the b***H and pompous A** were. I told them it was the owner and his gf.....and they said it was prob some drunk guy who said he was the owner, I told the cops the girl made it clear to say that her bf was the owner....thats how I knew who he was. To make this even shorter....the cops did nothing....they are all bad. I find out later the club pays the cops to sit there....(off duty cops) to make sure no probs occur. They are all tied together in bad s**t u know what i mean. I did my research and the guy who I thought was the owner was one of the owners indeed. UGLY MF! He thinks he can get away with this s**t. He's not to smart to have his picture posted all over the internet. if he reads this your an IDIOT!!! In the end I wa taken to the hospital had contusins on my head...bruises all over my body...puffy face...It was bad!!! I DONT RECOMMENd ANYONE TO GO TO THIS CLUB. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY IT IS STILL OPERATING. THIS IS THE worse CLUB THERE IS. IF YOU WANT YOUR GIRLFRIEND,SISTER,MOTHER...ANYONE you love or care about TO GET ASSAULTED THAN DEFF DONT GO TO DENIM...IF YOU WANT TO GET ATTACKED OR DIE GO THERE!!! I HOPE PEOPLE TAKE THIS SERIOUS FOR THEIR OWN PROTECTION.... AND I HOPE DENIM ROTS IN HELL!!!!! AS YOU CAN SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD BAD EXPERIENCES THERE....READ ALL THE OTHER BAD REVIEWS...I HOPE EVERYONE TAKES ACTION AGAINst THESE PSYCH PATHS!!!
- Pros: I advise u not to go
- Cons: if u want to get attacked.....thats the place to go too....

All or Nothing
by mdorime
I have been to Denim on several occasions. Some nights are great and others I am falling asleep on my feet. It is a great time or you leave and go elsewhere in an hour. The drinks are on the more expensive side, so I would recommend drinking elsewhere first. The decor is great, and it has recently been remodeled. The last time I went, (late October) was phenomenal
- Pros: Lots of people
- Cons: Lots of people, smoking allowed
