The security who runs the door are total losers. I hope this place gets shut down. Anyone who dares to party here is beyond lame! I feel bad for Orlando, I would have had more fun just staying home:(
Tonight I drove an hour from Tampa after I called and asked if Kodak Black was still performing tonight. I was told yes and when I got there it was $40 to park and when I get to the door the head of security that's a love child between an Oompa Lumpa and Mr.Clean told me they were sold out and at capacity. He said let me get you a ticket he then proceeded to give a girl that look like she 13 10 tickets for her and her friends. Meanwhile the girl had nappy hair, a t shirt, jeans and sneakers on! How you pass up a chick with a bien fresh hair do, nails and toes done, Versace purse and shoes with a new Fashion Nova dress on for a nappy headed sneaker wearing child! And furthermore, he needs to keep his pedophile activities away from the workplace! I'm not going to stress anyone to spend my money so I'm enjoying the rest of my night at the Strip Club! I really rate this place 0 stars, but I gave it 1 star just to be nice
I have attended Venue 578 for two concerts. The first being Post Malone and the second being Lil Wayne. Although I have tried to enjoy being at Venue 578 it was a failure. During my first concert everything went well other than being asked to move a bunch of times for security to walk back and forth. My second concert was the worst experience at the fault of Venue 578. The air conditioning was so high and so cold I felt like I was in a refrigerator. I was not the only one that was freezing for 4 hours straight. Many others in the crowd were shivering and complaining. We tried to get the attention of artists and even security on stage to turn it down. When we finally asked security to inform the owner/manager he said they "could not do anything". All of us in the front of the crowd tried to get the owner's attention and he completely ignored us. It is no exaggeration when I say we were freezing. My body had goosebumps and began to physically hurt. My thumbs began to lock up and my whole body was shaking. Venue 578 ruined my night for sure all because they couldn't control their AC.
I went to this venue to model in a show. The security team was awful and the manager/owner stood by it. I witnessed a bouncer get aggressive with a lady and of course she pushed him off and told him to stop. People were trying to calm him down because he was out of control. Poor security not professional and when you don't care about the customers' safety it makes it a dangerous place to be. I will never work or attend an event that's showcased at this venue. Double pass for me. The only reason why I gave it 2 stars is because I enjoyed modeling for Raw Artists. But they're their again next year I won't be attending. Move venues and then you'll a crowd of us again.
Went for an art show and it was set up great, open floor and even a second floor. So many great artists. It was a pleasant experience
It's very safe place to go dance and have some drinks, they have a lot security and big exits.
Went to this venue 10/21/2017 for the Krewella performance with the VIP Meet and Greet Package
The security was very efficient and made sure to get us into the venue quickly. The Meet and Greet was well organized at a specific room in Venue 578 and we were let in early to the venue as promised (Half an hour before opening).
Even as the place started getting packed it was still comfortable to try and get around the club. The sound system was also amazing, loud music and good bass without excessive bass or dangerously loud volumes throughout the performance.
I would definitely come back to this venue just due to the great organization I witnessed.
horrible place. i've been there twice and in both times the staff was super rude! They were charging 20 to skip a line that otherwise would have taken forever. Both times the guy at the entrance yelled at me and other people for no reason. One of the guys being the manager. It's like your money is worthless. I thought my second time being there would be better but it wasn't . What a waste of money.
Awesome experience here, packed dance floor with great energy, great lights and visuals, VIP options, three rooms with different music, cozy seating upstairs to chill with your sweeties. Bathroom attendants. Clean.
Worst experience I've had yet.
I was taking my little sister to the Russ concert for a senior year gift. Paying for the highest ticket and still didn't have good seating to see him. It was so overpacked and hot, people were passing out everywhere. My little sister (who was a minor) was getting too hot, so I was trying to get money from the ATM, but it wasn't working so they told me I could go to the one outside as long as I go through security again. After all of that I wasn't allowed back in and all I wanted to do was give my sister money at this point. I had my wrist bands , ticket , etc.. I paid for meet and greet and the whole ticket was basically wasted. Staff was beyond rude. I wouldn't even give it a star if it wouldn't make me. Because of this, I will never go back to that Venue again.
