Racist long hair white guy at door. BE AWARE. This is not the Bembe you're used to.

Can't tell you how lucky we were to find this place. It was their second night opening back up after a long break. Great drinks. Great vibes, and both the DJ and drummer were only in town for a short time. $25 cover but well worth it. A safe space with a responsive security person making sure guys weren't being pushy and creepy, and the one I saw doing that got kicked out quickly. The other patrons were kind and everyone was too busy dancing to be impolite. Truly a vibe. I hope to be able to come back the next time I visit BK.
