I warn you STAY AWAY from this place unless you like being treated poorly. We went here for my friends 21st b-day. She had talked to Melissa & planned it all. When we got in we saw the area set up for a b-day & were told that wasn't for our group. They said they couldn't reach her and her # was all the sudden disconnected the week of the party so they didn't set up an area for her or have the cake she ordered & now someone else was in her area for their b-day. Her 20 friends who came to the club to celebrate had called her at the same # all that week and got a hold of her just fine. The manager actually told us they don't make mistakes like that (double booking a party) and it was the b-day girls fault she didn't have a spot. Someone made a comment about race in a review below & my friend is the hot blonde that often gets into clubs for free & is the first to dance on the bar and live it up so they have equal discrimination there. We got to sit on the VIP couches but were moved around often when people got there who had reserved a table. Not the way you should be treated when you brought 20 people at $50 a pop. That's $1000! At the end of the night my husband was kicked out of the club because he tripped up the stairs. My husband is the least threatening guy you could imagine and there is no reason why he should have had to leave for that drunk or not. From reading these reviews & seeing what I saw it sounds like they pick people to kick out. As he was outside he told them he was disappointed with how the party happened & he wasn't coming back & the manager said "Can I have that in writing?" How rude and inappropriate! So just to let you know they are perfect like god they are the VIP & you are a nobody to them no matter how much you pay or what the occasion. If you like feeling this way definitely go to this place! The place looks like a 10 when you enter or see it online but the staff makes it a 0 & will run it into the ground.

Pros: beautiful atmosphere

Cons: beyond poor customer service

We went to Stone Lotus for my brother's 21st birthday and we had an awful experience. After reading many of the previous reviewers' comments, I have to agree with all of the negative things people are saying about this place. We paid for a VIP package, but unfortunately, we were not treated as VIP guests should be treated. The security staff was extremely rude, the bartenders did not know how to make anything beyond the basics, and the space was small and empty (on a Fri). We also had a guest in our party get kicked out shortly after we had gotten there, because the security staff maintained that they had seen him stumble. Our guest was no more intoxicated than any other person in that club, and if anything, there were quite a few guests that were more intoxicated. The "so-called drunk guest" told the security guards that we had taken a limo to the club and that the limo would not be there for another three hours. He then proceeded to ask the security guard if he could sit there (and not drink) and wait for the rest of his party to finish up. The security guard said that his staff could not watch the "intoxicated guest" and informed our guest he would have to wait outside in the cold. It honestly would not have been difficult for security to tell the two bartenders working to not serve this guest and for security to watch him. Again it is a small space and If they can spot people they believe are highly intoxicated amongst the small crowd, then they can spot a person who doesn't keep his word in a small crowd as well. I thought our incident was isolated at first, but after reading about a similar incident happening to someone else, I am beginning to think this is a ploy used by Stone Lotus to get large sums of money from people and then not let them enjoy the packages they paid for. We paid to have an open bar from 10-1, but were forced to leave before 12. I have been to a lot of clubs in my day, and this is the worst one yet!

Pros: nice decor

Cons: EXTREMELY poor service, bad music, small space
