Even for Charleston it’s pretty mid. If you’re from Europe or somewhere with good edm you will be disappointed. Not worth a $15 cover.
Service-wise: Ordered 3 drinks around 1:45am last night ($12 a piece) thinking we had a few minutes till closing to drink them but then everyone got kicked out. Way to hustle your customers for a buck.

That is a serious sound system, I think with the smaller venue and that was the best sounding club I've heard even with the massive well tuned subs that are gut wrenchingly deep and loud but with about zero distortion.... whoa
