What People Are Saying About Plan B

Large fake plants, zebra-striped banquettes and a lone disco ball twirling in the corner make for a dressing that only slightly spruces up the main dance floor area. Those wanting to relax with a drink head to the white-walled, white padded-leather side room. Singles on the prowl may appreciate the tight surroundings, which quickly force patrons to get up-close and personal in a meat market-like atmosphere. A young, mixed, 20-something crowd grooves to Top 40 tunes on weekends, with sparser crowds during the week. The back hallway with bathrooms next to the DJ booth offer a more tranquil…

Fraudulent, Thieving, Rude Establishment. Stay away!

by JOT

The owner stole $10 from me. I owed $10 and gave him a $20. He did not give me change and instead ignored me, even though it was a very slow night. When I asked him, he pretended that he had not even served me at all, as if to make me appear stupid. He called me a liar in front of all my friends, he intentionally tried to humiliate me. I argued politely with him and we came to a compromise where he provided two drink vouchers. Ten minutes later though, he had me physically removed from the bar when I tried to find out his name (for BBB reporting purposes). On the way out, the bouncer "accidentally" dropped a $10 bill on the sidewalk, as if to suggest that I had lost my money on the street and not to the dishonest, conniving owner. I refused to pick up the money, knowing how the scam worked. They attempt to rob unsuspecting customers, then unsubtley buy them off if said victims catch on to the tricks. The owner came out and threatened to call the police on *me,* the person who had just been swindled and manhandled. I intend to file Better Business Bureau and Consumer Protection reports, if you have similar experiences, please email me.

NEVER GOING BACK

by Lagsalot

Planned a promotional party for our film company here and got jerked around by the owner and manager from the second we got there.

First nobody was there to let us in at the scheduled time. When we got in an HOUR late, we were informed that they had planned TWO other parties that night, so we couldn't use the back room, raffle off the gift items we'd brought (because we couldn't make announcements that would break the music that WE PROVIDED!), or show any graphic images. At a porn-themed party they'd agreed to have.

The owner would not let in friends of the promotional team who were throwing the party, saying they weren't on "the list," even though there was no list. The drinks were overpriced. Because there were THREE parties going on on, it was so hot and crowded you could hardly move, especially because the space is smaller than advertised.

NEVER going back.

  • Pros: There's booze.
  • Cons: Ownership and management are horrible.

too crowded!!!!

by SexiAndSmart

Me and a friend looked at the reivews for Plan B and thought we can give it a try. You definitely cannot judge this place by the outside. From the outside, it does not look too small, but it in the inside it was way to small. I don't know if it was too packed or what.. but we had to get out of there! We paid a cover charge and struggled and was pushed through the crowd to check out the back because we always look around. Plan B is the type of place where you order a drink and someone spills it right on you before you can take a sip!! ugh.. what a waste. We went to Solas right around the neighborhood and had a blast. Solas is more roomy since it has 2 floors.

I am warning you.. do not go to Plan B if you dont like overcrowded places!

  • Pros: NONE
  • Cons: crowded, cannot move, music did not sound good for the minute i was there, not trendy, no dancing
