Remodel a great idea

by K1queen at Citysearch

My girlfriends and I went to dinner at Avec on Randolf Street last weekend. We were trying to figure out a place to go and our server suggested Lumen. My first response was no. I have been there before and you cant dance (plus, the people in the club....Ugh...) One of my girls with us said she heard it had changed also so, we decided to run over and check it out.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME! The music was fantastic! The seats are higher and more comfortable! It feels like a New York club exept for the fact a manager actually came over and asked us how we were doing! My one friend made out with a cute guy....Ok, that really was me!

Definetly we'll be back! Thank you LUMEN!

Not for dancing

by checkon at Citysearch

Went there cause some friends wanted to go (even though we were at a better club before going there). Paid $10 for entry. Didn't like the music and the dance floor SUCKED. Its hard concrete. Its more of a stand around and look at people place to me. If you really want to dance I wouldn't go there.

If you like being treated like garbage this is your place

by edclubber at Citysearch

Saturday night I was heading out to my friends birthday party. This place suppositely had no cover according to the website. Show up and they say since its after 10pm the cover is 10$ for girls and 20$ for guys. I tried to talk to the girl taking the cover about how the website didn';t say anything and how we should be able to pay 10$ each because its a birthday party and the girl inside was waiting for us. (might I add quite calmly and completely sober) We are refused and when I say "come on, its only 10:30" she waves some big bouncers to escort us out. Trying to not upset the birthday girl I agree to the guys outside that i'll pay the full cover and they tell me "you guys are trouble, your not coming in". The birthday girl is calling me and comes to check out whats going on, she asks the guys to let us in for 20$ a piece and they don't even respond to her, instead they say to each other "she brought in more girls than guys, don't listen to her". She gets ticked and says "what the hell is your problem" on which she is kicked out of the club as well. They won't even let her back in to tell her friends that she can't even be a part of her own party.

We eventually got everyone out and went somewhere else. The people inside weren't too mad because they had been waiting for more drinks with absolutely nonresponsive staff inside. I think the way that this place gets anyone to stick around is by charging them giant entry fees and being located in the middle of nowhere so that no one has any options with out a cabride

• Pros: flashy interior
• Cons: expensive, rude staff, and bad service
