2 hour wait and bouncer tried to convince us to pay $50 bribe to get in. Complete robbery honestly EDIT: ok I was super sober when I wrote this review but once we got into the club, I had a fantastic time. Vibes are always great! I changed it to 3 star for this reason

Recommended by friends....easy to locate in ybore....bush(security) estimated 10 minute wait time...took 20 minutes but met cool people waiting in line and line moved very fast after wrapping around the castle walls ...bartender tina is very friendly and customer service oriented ...atmosphere amazing, vibe amazing, fun friendly, very attractive people! Good music cheap drinks...recommended to go upstairs first and what happens here(come to find out) exceeded my expectations! First event to look for( ask for mayhem) you will NOT be disappointed!!! Pricing:cheap for amount of fun here! Highly recommend to locals, vacationers! Everyone should visit once! Personal experience: too much I'll need to write a 10 page article!!! Shoutout Chris! Give this man a raise! Matter of fact! Everyone here deserves one! Owners know their stuff! Hire people who have passion, work hard, and smart! Overall:. The CASTLE just earned a lifelong knight to defend the keep(I'm a nerd) no judgement here! Everyone welcome! On a scale of 1 to 10...8.7!! Good job the castle!

I love the Castle, its always a fun place. However every single time I go there, the upstairs bar tending staff have the worst attitude. It's consistently the same 3 bartenders that have a vendetta to the world, and EVERY SINGLE patron there shares the same opinion. If i was the owner, I would find bar staff that are happy to come into work and represent my brand. It's poor attitude, poor service, as if we the consumer paying money, are inconveniencing them. We didn't choose your job, you did. So please take into consideration that the rest of us pay a cover to come enjoy, and pay you money for beverages.
