Libation is All About Dancing. This nightclub is all about dancing. With three stories of dance floors, Libation has eclectic music, great drinks and plenty of room to dance. I was here with a beautiful woman and we had plenty of room to dance without being pressed too close to each other when we didn’t want to be. The DJ that was rocking the house had an amazing beat and knows how to keep everyone entertained. While I wish the drinks were a little cheaper, I can’t complain overall. I’d certainly go back again when I’m in town.

Good club. Great club! I did enjoy my night out over there; music was fine, the service and drinks were not bad at all. Really nice atmosphere. We were a bit skeptical regarding the door policy though..the first time we went there the line was huge, it took us almost an hour to get into the club. The second time we were 9people and we booked a Limo night out package for like $160 , for 1h limo tour and admission in the club skipping the line (limotournyc) that was a pretty good deal! Anyway I’ll definitely go back there!

A nightclub with the same nightculb snobbiness. I really wish I could love this place, I do. The food is fly, the design is fly, but the people.

Just, damn. Hire some nicer service. That's all. When I don't feel hated on at this place, i'll up this to five stars.

Shocker. Went into Libation this Friday night, around 8pm. Could of only been 10 people in there!! My partner and I sat at the bar for roughly 5 minutes while the barman watched the basketball. At one stage he turned around and was not interested in serving us. Strange. How can people like this get employed or a business even stay profitable with staff like this. Happy to take our money elsewhere.

Brunch. I've been to Libation atleast 3 times now, the food is good the drinks are better, and that Hector (the waiter/bartender) is AMAZING!!!!! Great ambiance makes for a better experience!

My friends and I made this our "spot", we have become frequent flyers at Libation......I'd recommend this place to everyone that would listen to me!

great club. I went to Libation with a couple of friends and tried the 2 for 1 burgers as well the nachos. Surprisingly the food was really tasty. The waiter was really nice and friendly, and went out of his way to give us a pleasant dining experience. Overall, my friends and I had a great experience at Libation and will definitely come back.

Good club to dance. Go here a lot, I live in the neighborhood and happen to end up there. Good music, cool bartenders and strong drinks.

Fun place to bring a date to dance or go with friends for a party.

just okay. This place was definitely not the worst place I've ever been to...but also not the best. I had fun dancing with my friends but I think we could've had fun anywhere. One thing I don't understand - the only bathroom is on the top floor?!

Not sure about the lounge life but the food is pretty good!. I came here last night for the specials, 2 for 1 burgers and $1 beers. Surprisingly the burgers were pretty tasty and perfect size. Another friend ordered a pizza and she said she wouldn't get it again.

Again haven't been here for social nighting but may have to return.

Very young and out of control. Are they serious at this place- are they carding? There were some kids who looked like they were 16 in that place. Alcohol & Tobacco Enforcement should check this place out. One kid WHO LOOKED LIKE HE WAS 16 vomitted all over me at the bar. The young ladies were def eye candy .
