I happen to go there for a birthday party on a Saturday, we had multiple sections. Since it was the rodeo cookoff time it started off not that crowded. This is one of those spots if you don't have a section be prepared to stand all night. There is an outside patio to sit but the birthday group we took over that spot. As it got later more people pulled it and the crowd was younger. The DJ that night was cool and the music was straight. In my opinion the drinks were water down and no kick to it. There is a guy cooking on the patio, taco, boudin, and wings, they said the tacos are good. Valet parking that night was $20 and there is street parking but I assume you need to get there earlier. At the end of the night there was another chef cooking pasta dishes. I will say this is for the younger squad.

You want grown and sexy- this is the spot. The gentlemen are pretty nice and I don't recall paying for anything that night. We celebrated my friend La birthday and had a blast.

This place is trash. Shootings, your car will most likely get broken into. The security is a joke and the pictures on the website are a lie. This club brings in nothing but trash and it is becoming increasing unsafe for home owners, apartment residents and their patrons. There was a shooting last night and the shooter was walking up and down the side street with a shotgun. The police didn't respond for 2 hours while an active shooter was out. Neighbors have witnessed people coming and leaving the club breaking into vehicles on the side streets where residents and club patrons park. The owners are doing absolutely nothing to help with this problem! https://video.nest.com/clip/e860a78cb132477c9f26cb11055552aa.mp4

Great vibes, with great people. This place is good if you have a large group of friends. Went here on a Saturday night, was not too packed at all. Drinks were decently priced.

Lumen is one of my favorite nightlife joints in Houston. I've been coming here since 2012. Their Friday nights are epic. Great DJs, sound system, and light show. I love their staff and management. Tuesday industry night is also a lot of fun.

No food service, dirty cups, terrible music, smells like weed, have to pay for parking, the employees will follow you all the way to the bank parking to even make you move. Not worth it. It's also a terribly empty club and i see why now

This is my 4th time here. I think is wrong to force a 20% tip on tbe bill. I did not realize it was lumen practice until i read the review. Valet parking is $60 and to park in the front, you hv to pay $100. They hv Latin music last night. Place gets crowded very fast. By midnight, there hardly any place to move. There are 2 dance floors inside and an outdoor patio. I do not know why tbere are complaints of tbe size, but if u compare to Belvedere, which is long and narrow, i would prefer lumen layout.

This place is openly, extremely prejudice. Last night around 10:30 my girlfriend and I came here for the first time. At the door, the bouncer asked us if we were there for a party or had bottle service. We weren't, so he had us stand behind the rope as if there was some wait to get in, and told us there was a cover. We said ok then he yelled out to the dude taking the money, how much is the cover, dude looked at us and said $10 each. We paid, went in, only to find this place was really empty with the exception of 2 people ordering bottle service, that we're drinking by themselves. N there were enough thirsty hoochies hanging around the bar, that bouncer should have known what the cover was, unless they weren't charging everyone, or were charging them differently. Hmm, how trifling of you. My gf (a sexy stud) orders her regular- Gentlemen's Jack with coke from the first stuck up bartender, see pictures. The girl tells her we only have 1 bottle of that and she's not going to open it unless it's bottle service. How entitled are you when you think you can talk to people like this? I turned around and left that trash at the bar. On my way out, I asked to speak with the manager, I explained what happened, he went inside to resolve the issue and invited us back in with the 1st round on the house. So we order from a second bartender, man bun. He tells us "as long as I've worked here, we've never carried that" so I tell him, well then go tell your manager that bc he doesn't know that. And he didn't, and asked us what else we wanted, I proceeded to tell him that his stuck up bartender told us they did have it, then in the middle of explaining myself, a third bartender, long blonde hair with the cheapest LV tote bag they sell, walking all behind the bar, wearing that bag out, cuts me off and tells me what the stuck up bartender ACTUALLY said and thought. Like she was there or something?! I told her real quick----can I finish?! So she shut up, rolled her eyes, and walked away. As I finished talking to man bun, someone brings out 2/3 empty bottle of Gentlemen's Jack and man bun makes our drinks. At this point I'm upset beyond words and tell my gf they just don't want us here, that's why they won't take our money and serve us. We didn't even touch the drinks and walked out. I'll never return and will see to it that this place and its terrible employees are held responsible for their discriminating actions. They act like they have something so precious and they are doing you a favor after you bothered them by ordering something! They are terrible!!! Get rid of them all, NOW! If you value your guests, and care how they are treated at your business, don't tolerate this type of hateful behavior! For someone to tell you to your face, that she has it, but she's just not going to open it for YOU is hateful and disrespectful! Then cut man bun for not knowing $h;t or lying to us about not carrying it. And lastly take busted LV tote bag with long blonde hair to the curb where you found her at! She's bold to think she was gonna cut me off, and tell me something when she doesn't know a thing! We are the paying customers that were being disrespected, NOT YOU! So stay in your lane or cover your face with that stretched, wore out Louie tote! In conclusion, f----orget this place. If you don't look like the pictures they have posted on their website or social media, then they don't want you or your money here. I will forgive this business and their ignorant, self entitled staff after they change and fire all these people involved and hire new staff, OR look forward to the inevitable closing of this establishment and send everyone where they belong, back home. I will never return and I ask that everyone whom supports LGBTQI+ rights, to boycott this place as well. If you support minority groups, don't come here, they don't support you or treat you like a person. ****CONSEQUENCES COMING SOON****
