The $5 cover charge is more than ideal--but I got in for FREE because of my birthday. The door bouncer was great in acknowledging my birthday. The door cashier asked my name, which was different at first, but later learned she asked me that so I can get a birthday shout out from The DJ! That alone signifies how much they appreciate their customers. But the staff are very interactive and friendly. They make sure the place stays clean and safe during The fun. The atmosphere is phenomenal--stay true to the 80's/90's theme. The crowd was a healthy, enjoyable mix. Only complaint would be the high prices for the rather mediocre drinks. Nevertheless, the customer service and hyped vibe makes up for that. People seriously need to go check this place out--great to visit for the spur-of-the-moment/spontaneous night out with friends.
