What People Are Saying About Krem

In Short – Hidden, save for dark-suited bouncers checking IDs and guest lists, stairs lead down to a sunken patio and a frosted glass facade. Inside find white-washed everything--counters, walls, ceiling, curtains and furniture--accented with ice-blue lighting. The main bar is to the right and a handy champagne bar sits to the left. Two rows of bed-like loungers are prime seating, and wood-clad pillars throughout are good for leaning against when busy. A DJ in back plays house and hip-hop from a laptop-controlled playlist.

Not Smooth Bartenders
by ajmasin at Citysearch
At first the bartenders seemed nice...then I noticed them talking about my group of friends as they looked over their shoulders and laughed. Well the joke is on them now...
I noticed I was severly OVER charged...NICE TRY. Those shots were not that strong! I have now contacted the place twice and they are still trying to square it away.
- Pros: Two sounds going on.
- Cons: The Bouncer was tough to get in the back room and then 2 minutes later there was no more bouncer for the night...Cool.

Worst service, rude bouncers
by nmehta6 at Citysearch
I went to a friend's birthday party here. Let me tell you that I DO NOT recomment it. We were told that there will not be cover for people who won't be drinking but we have an option of getting open bar for $30 for 2 hours. They started charging everybody $30 regardless. Since it was 30 of us and there was no other way to relocate everybody to another place we stayed. The person, who's birthday it was, stepped out of the club after telling the bouncer that she is just seeing a friend off and will be back soon. The bouncer told her that's ok. When she came back he asked for $30 and will not let her in. All of us left because of this type of rude behavior. It ruined the birthday party for my friend and the night for everyone else. I hope this place shuts down because for a friday there were hardly anybody there to begin with.
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: Rude service, drunk bartenders, overcharging people without any reason..
