Me and my brother attended the 21 Savage concert. First off, 21 Savage ( when he FINALLY arrived was FANTASTIC, so no disrespect or bashing on his part- he gets 5 stars). The concert was advertised to start at 7 pm, well it didn't start until close to 11 pm. STOP advertising the concerts for 7 if they never start at 7 its infuriating when people have to actually work for a living during the week. We had an awesome spot really close to the stage however there were a ton of people smoking dope, underage girls that were sloppy drunk falling all over me and a 250 pound (at least) super drunk guy that kept laying on me and REFUSED to stop, ultimately resulting in us moving all the way in the back because the worthless staff standing right in front of us refused to say or do anything. I was furious because we arrived an hour early to get a good spot and then waited almost 4 hours for what we came for and then moved due to the staff not doing their job. I mean, what are they even there for if not to keep people in line, to stand around and suck on vape sticks?, yeah you guys looked awesome by the way (NOT). It's actually quite sad what the young people act like nowadays, I myself am 22 and felt so out of place. I have never witnessed something like this. It was repulsing and an all around AWFUL experience (except for getting to see one of my favorite rap artist LIVE and up close). I will not go back. Keep up the piss poor job Panama City.
I was excited to see this place for myself while visiting PCB for the first time a few months ago. Waited in a huge line in the parking lot on a Saturday night. There was nothing special going on this particular night but the cover charge was still $50. Regretfully, I paid this expecting the club experience. The pool was closed, only 3 clubs were open, drinks were very overpriced. I think there were more 18 year olds in the place than people of drinking age. Maybe this was just for the night I was there, but I probably would not go back unless one of my favorite artists or bands was performing.
Bartenders were nice. Music was ghetto. Lights and visuals were good.
BEST place in town for an expensive night out! $20-$30 cover and drinks are $5-$20 each! Your bartenders will treat you right if you treat them right, but your bouncers (aside from a few) will look for any reason to kick you out or not let you back in. My brother and I went to the bar for our 1st time together because I live states away and can't get home to be with him. He is a few months under 21 and walked out to take a quick phone call since it was extremely loud inside. It states all over the walls of the bar "under 21 may not re-enter" without paying cover again. He took 2 steps outside and asked to come back in after the call when he got the answer of "go back to pay $30" when the bar closed in an hour.... I talked with the bouncer and explained our situation and he refused to listen or even ask a manager for help. We finally spoke with a bouncer that had respect enough to at least call a manager (he didn't want to get involved and it was his job to not let him re-enter so this was a respectful way for him to go about his job). When we explained to the manager the situation, he let my brother return. All of this to say, if you are speaking with 90% of the bouncers, they will refuse you ANY service no matter your situation. All I ask is respect and understanding and when it is not given, I refuse to recommend something to others. The only reason they get one star is because that one bouncer knew how to treat people right.
This place was awesome. All the workers were nice and the bartender made excellent drinks. I was visiting from Mississippi, and this was the most fun i had on the whole trip.
