Honestly, this place should be shut down or at least audited by liquor licensing. I don’t even know where to start. The whole venue is dirty and disgusting, and the floors are always wet. The toilets are filthy and often full of vomit, broken glass, or empty drug bags. Staff are frequently in the smokers’ area drinking instead of working, and the venue seems to promote over-intoxication and violence rather than managing it responsibly. On top of that, booking DJs connected to artists like Chris Brown sends the wrong message about supporting violence against women and serious misconduct. Overall, a very unsafe and poorly managed environment. Would not recommend.

Whoever attacked my partner the other night here for no reason better watch themselves. No one should get hit without reason and in the club!. I'll shut this place down and find the people involved and you'll have a bigger problem on your hands.

From the booths to the bar section, the middle part of the club is the only good part of shades everywhere else, especially the smokers section, which needs to be worked on/more appealing/updated/clean looking. Like a dungeon/run down and entry into the club not that great. Wouldn't go there again out of choice, unless updated. Do up the smokers section and clean that glass window. Bit foggy unless it's meant to be like that. Toliets need to be checked/topped up toliet paper/seats were loose in female toilets. $10 entry reasonable, should never be higher entry fee, for the place it is and lay out, etc. I honestly wouldn't recommend shades, but music was good. Played good rnb hits. Bar girls offered good service.

Not to mention there was well over 400 people at the ‘At large tour’ that huskii refused to perform in such an unsafe environment with equipment that didn’t work correctly to then have a full argument with the owner. After juicy fest with the ‘Nelly’ after party the place was so jammed packed you were literally squeezing past people shoulder to shoulder and could barely move, Nelly didn’t perform until like 2am and did 2 songs. We paid $40 a ticket for that. The place was full from the dance floor down to the smoking area. The ‘RnB’ after party we was all ushered back to shades after being in a bigger venue with 100’s of people from down in the valley. Another performer was due to perform and they did so from the Dj booth that is up above our heads where you can barely see the person. No ashtrays either and multiple broken tin chairs out in the smoking area. I couldn’t tell you where the fire exit is other than the only entry and exit. Don’t get me wrong shades is a great club to CLUB at. It is not designed nor holds the capacity to be able to host these types of gigs. Do better. This isn’t the way to generate income at the expense of others safety and well being. You’re going to continue to lose customers at this rate. The place is becoming bearer and bearer everytime I go out for CLUBBING there. Karaoke nights ? Game nights ? White t-shirt contest , dirty dancing nights. The performers ain’t working ….

Chill club, pretty quiet on a Thursday at 10pm. Come if you want a nice starting spot. Right next to Rics. Edit: also literally the cleanest toilet in the valley for anyone who likes to sit down
