Was there for a chorus party . Wait staff needs training food so so . Drinks expensive ...
Cool hangout spot
Bounce is a really nice place to sit and chill with friends while surfing the net or just sit and have a drink or two and dance your butt off
Once a showpiece....now a thriving dive...
When Bounce first opened it was a clean, modern, stunning showpiece and a trendy nightspot with a diverse crowd and impeccable cleanliness. This place has simply been run into the ground in every way since then. It's simply a large dive bar anymore. Friday and Saturday nights are busy as the club is teeming with twinks and their female companions. The crowd is about 50/50 black and white with some latinos and asians mixed in. It's also about 50/50 gay/lesbian. It's not unusual to see a few patrons wandering around who appear to be homeless, mentally ill, high on crack, or a combination of all three. If you're looking to slum it and don't mind some laughable disappointments, this is the place to be. Don't go to this place with any high expectations. The decor was changed slightly a few years ago but it didn't negate the fact the the furniture is still broken down, the bathroom smells like there's a dead cat in there, and every inch of the floor is covered in some sticky mix of dirt, mixed drinks, and filth. The food is pretty good but the building's general appearance and apparent lack of cleaning and upkeep didn't do much for my appetite. I have noticed bullet holes in some of the windows if that tells you anything about the neighborhood. I'd suggest packing a gun if you go alone or even in a small group. Don't be shocked if your car get broken into or stolen altogether. This is more reflective of the neighborhood, not the club itself. The music is typically blaring loud in every part of the building, so don't plan on having any normal dialog inside. Don't leave anything sitting around unattended or it will be promptly stolen. Fights and disturbances both inside and outside the club are commonplace. Bounce is a big nest of drag queens, and their shows carry on for what seems like an eternity. If you like drag shows this is the place to go. The music is okay and is in sync with music videos playing inside the main bar. Overall, Bounce is a good time as long as you want to party hard, loud, and dirty and you don't come with any favorable expectations.
