    the club is big and kind of nice, offer vj i like that.

    they are a latin club, but they dont have latin beers, except for corona, i ask for modelo, they didnt have it, i ask for pacifico (they have alot of advertising for it) they didnt have it, i ask for tecate and they ddnt have it, i finally asked them what they had, they told me "only corona" i prefered miller...

    the show i dont even know if is good, cause all the people block the view.

    the night i went they had like 1000 people, it was full, in side and out in the patio.

    and they only have a bathroom for men in the whole place, for 4 people, so imagin the line to pee, i was there for up to 20 minutes each time.

    i also asked for a shot of patron, and they gave me a nasty tequila, that wasnt patron (i believe they put the nasty tequila inside the patron bottle, cause i did see the bottle).

    if u want to wait for alot of time to pee, pay high prices in drinks that are not even your favorites and that the barttenders flirt with your boyfriend, then this is the place for u.

    Don't go here. The club security will not be of any use when you have your proerty stolen here. I will never go to this place again.

    Well, I've only been there once for a friends birthday party and I thought is was nice. The music was good they didnt play everything over and over again but I do agree with most people the staff is pretty rude but thankfully, you dont have to have many encounters with them and besides look what kind of job they have, they have to clean up after our drunk asses! My birthday is coming up in March maybe I'll have it there-

    I use to go here very frequently because this the the best place to go after a certain big club closed their doors. But now it's horrible. I mean the club itself is beautiful it's just the ppl who work there and the crowd kill it. Maybe its been the past few weeks but nothing but ugly ass people who are rude.

    Well, I have to say that after a long absence from the club scene, I decided to go back to babalu and things haven't changed at all. The hefty $20 cover at the door and then have to pay $10 for a mere 3 ounces of jack and coke, that's unheard of. Then the music, I guess the people who come every week don't have and open mind to hear anything else, but regaeton, and some shitty rap crap. The same songs kept playing at every different room inside the club. Very dissapointed!!!

    I liked this place and will go back again. For once I didn't feel like I was in a club with a bunch of kids! It wasn't too crowded and the mix of music was good. I went with my man and another couple and we didn't have any bad experiences. I didn't have to wait a year for a drink either. It's a little high to get in, but I'd go back because I felt comfortable there,there was a good mix of people, and no one causing trouble.

    I can't believe that with all these complaints about the staff that they aren't fired. What IDIOT keeps them around anyway? They are LOW-CLASS latinos! Very ghetto.
