During the Bar Rescue makeover, Club Caribe was renamed to La Luz Ultra Lounge and they have kept the new name of the bar. Let's take a look at some information, reviews, and updates for La Luz Ultra Lounge since Bar Rescue came and made all of the changes to the bar (All reviews are post-Bar Rescue):
Reviews:
- "This place is ridiculously unorganized. Claiming to be an "18 & up club" , . We payed VIP ,unaware that "VIP" means being stuck behind a black rope in the back . Because we aren't all 21 we don't have access to hang out in the areas that our 21 year old friends are in. Small venue , lame service. Nice sound systems , seems like a cool place if you're 21."
- "Management is garbage. I agree with most bad reviews from experience. For a place located all the way out here...better off at a place with better reviews and closer to other options when service is bad. Owner is a true amature in customer service and ive seen his ghetto class in action with other customers."
- "Formerly known as Club Caribe, La Luz Ultra Lounge is the worst "nightclub" I've ever experienced. I brought my girlfriend here for her birthday, 20 dollar cover charge to see Meek Mill. 40 dollars for both to get in, and by 2 a.m., guess who never showed up? My shots of "Patron" were watered down tequila out of a patron bottle.....I spent 90 dollars and for one reason, to write this review and hope nobody goes here again. Everyone is deceiving. From the disgusting owner that lied to me when I had called before I went to the bartender and security. And can I mention the owner promised me the cover charge was 10 dollars? I hope this place burns down."
