Blend Lounge

Yea,.the place inside looked nice but it was just… boring honestly,.music was fine until they switched DJ’s.I guess since the new name change their building a crowd again but it was just people sitting in their «VIP» tables I probably won’t go again

Hmm. i always try to make the best of my surroundings. So while i danced my little butt off, i recognize that i have seen much better. I didn’t pay to get in and honestly wouldn’t pay more than five dollars for this place. The music is decent… hop hop for the most part. A lot of girls in there act and dress like they’re trying to get into VIP at the hottest club in Vegas, which you really can’t compare one to the other. Not trying to hate, just what i observed. Not saying I would never come back, just not my first choice. or my second.

5 Stars. Why? I’m not sure. All I remember is I have a couple of awesome pictures allegedly from this place, and that we apparently had a good time.
Don’t remember anything else. Bravo.

Kinda swanky place with cute go-​go dancers. A place were you can dance.
Only thing is it gets REALLY packed, and the the crowd is way young. Maybe I’m too old. Kinki’s used to be really fun, sexy with a tiny bit of class.
Those are over. Now it’s ghetto.

Dear Kinki,
You try so hard to be swanky that it’s gets lost in pretentiousness. Maybe it’s because I’m on my grown woman status and know better, but it was for a bachelorette party and we wanted to dance. So I heard your tunes across the way and decided to try it out. The fact that your beefy doormen who almost turned away a group of 21 women in mini dresses certainly shows one that you don’t care much about your business ventures, and more about the «seen and be seen» aspect of your club. Although we did have fun dancing to your tunes, especially when you threw it all the way back old school, I can’t say that I was impressed. We got in and the club was not as packed as your doorman said it was. Or maybe it was his ass holeness that threw me off when he told me that I needed to buy a bottle at $ 200 to get in… that’s just dumb. Especially when we ended up in VIP anyway, without buying any bottle. I saw two fights, which I commend you for clearing up the trash in a timely manner, but I still can’t get over your asshole doormen and the fact that you are just trying so hard to be «exclusive». Stop it. Really. Stop.
Sincerly,
Chocolate Sunshine

Kinki kinki kinki… What can I say?
I had such a great time dancing my ass off on your go-​go poles, getting hit on/​grabbed on by fugly dude, and getting super schwasted off your expensive drinks when I was under 21 but then… I grew up.
Sure kinki is great when you’re under 21 and looking for a spot that draws easily erasable Xs on your hand, doesn’t give wristbands to 21+ clubgoers and is pretty much a haven for underage girls to get drinks but as soon as I became of legal age, I realized how truly sad this place is. So not my scene anymore…

I’m not sure why anyone would want to be seen at this bar/​club. It’s tacky to say the least. My sis-​in-​law and I were summoned by a male friend of mine. Got in without a hitch, walked in without paying, but then relized why. This place was packed with Greenvilles lower class. Holding my sisters hand and pushing my way through the crowd in this very small place to find my friend, we were yelled at, cursed at, and propositioned to fight twice just in the first few minutes of being there. My sister paid $ 9 for a rum & coke that tasted like soda water… The ladies were skanky, dirty, and homely, and the guys were douches and jerks… Avoid this place if you can.

So this place isn’t where you’d normally find me… I was with my s.i.l and she wanted to meet a few of her friends here. so I went…
The place smelled… like. cheap cologne with sweat… mmm sweaty cologne…
It got worse towards the crowd of dancers… I held my breath and my s.i.l guided me to the bar…
Well not really guided, more like pulled and tugged at my arm as we were trying to make our way through the crowd… I had boobs, ass, and crotch everywhere on me… gross…
To top it off, this guy and his girl didn’t appreciate me trying to squeeze by their bump and grind session and proceeded to yell and scream at me for ruining it…
I politely looked back and said «Get the f*ck over it.» with a wave of my middle finger as I was being drug through the rest of the crowd…
Finally, we made it to the bar!
«Jack and coke please…»
«That’ll be $ 9…»
«…what?! Fine. «
Oh no. not fine… I’ve never had such a watered down drink in my life…
Hell the free j&c in Vegas were stronger! … ;/​
The only good thing about this place was leaving. and that in itself was a challenge, having to maneuver through drunk girls and their d-​bag dates… We were there for only 10 minutes and I’d already been screamed and cussed at… sooooo
Needless to say, I’ll never be back here… ;p

Kinki definitely lives up to its name :) With a dude nick named «Pony» being ridden by a dominatrix might appeal to one’s deviant taste, but we simply found it hilarious given the fact that the guy was being ridden by a girl twice his size at times. Poor Guy. I am sure that violates some humanitarian or labor laws somewhere, just kidding.
The best time to arrive at Kinki’s is probably around 12:30 — 1:00 am, so you can beat the long lines and walk straight in with very little wait. The place is quite packed and the music is good which alternates between old and new. The bartenders are quite easy to get a hold of to get a drink, though they are quite pricey and the shots we had were $ 11/​shot.
There are multiple VIP areas for those buying bottles and then for the rest we just dance around the bar or near the stages where «kinki» girls are dancing with dollar bills stuffed all over their bods.
I am no expert of night clubs, but overall I thought this place can be rated 2.5 — 3 stars based on the wait time and music being played.

Well first of a place like this is not my scene at all so it’s like asking a vegan to review a burger joint.
Go-​go dancers, a man with a saddle for girls to ride him, and lackluster VIP area make it obvious that inspiration for this place came from Vegas.
It made for great people watching yet I found it hard to find anyone genuinely having a good time on a crowded Friday night.

We recently attended a private event in the VIP room. A couple of guys crashed the party and when asked to leave insisted they could «do whatever they want» since they work there. One of them said he was an investor and said his name was Austin. The other said his name was Kyle.
It took several party goers, the hosts of the party, a bouncer, and the VIP host a good half hour to get them to leave. Even then they made threats to at least one party goer.
If this is what Kinki’s thinks is acceptable behavior in the VIP room I see no reason to ever go back.

Ohhh kinki, how I love/​hate thee. I dunno where to start. I have only been here twice but promised my friend (while drunk, big mistake) that I would ride on the horse man next time. Wish I could take that back haha cause I really don’t wanna get herpes. Maybe if I wear jeans I will be ok?
I digress… place is verryyy gimicky… go-​go/​stripper type dancers with tacky outfits & wayyy to much spray body glitter (almost had an asthma attack & suffocated when go-​go girl was applying spray glitter in bathroom), infamous horse man, flame eaters, sparklers all on your over priced bottle of whatever (u can have fireworks indoors now?!)… *sigh* & of course the usual 30,000 millionaire DB’s galore. They are soo ridiculous here, but I scored TONS of free drinks from said DB’s & I didn’t even have to show em the goods sooo I really can’t complain TOO much lol:-) Valet was free even tho the guy said it would b $ 6 when I arrived. No one asked me for money when I got my keys:-)
Drinks are waayyy overpriced at $ 9 – 10 so good thing those DB’s came thru on that one!!:-) But all together I had a blast both times I went here cause I was with my friends & we have fun no matter where we go:-) Oh & when we first walked in, the shoot glass chick at the door was selling shoots for $ 8…then magically a few hrs later when the place was packed, price went up to $ 10 lmao. I hate places like that:-X

I frequent this club because it’s always a consistently good time whether we get bottle service or not. The crowd is really diverse so yes there are some assholes but theres a lot more people there enjoying the night. The décor is really nice, the bouncers do their job so you have zero chance of being stabbed. The drinks are pretty standard Dallas prices, $ 10 for a Long Island, but they make up for it with great bartenders who never skimp on the alcohol. The music is aimed to please so its a healthy blend of House/​Top 40/​Local Rap the DJ is pretty in tune with the crowd and the music reflects. Fridays and
Saturdays are the nights to visit and bottle service is definitely the way to go if you want to have the most fun with a group. If you do get bottle service watch the waitress! Some of them will try to kill your bottle with the first round of drinks. Bottom line if you don’t like loud music and crowds go play bingo with the rest of the old folks.

The club/​lounge scene isn’t my typical scene, but I met some friends at Kinki last night (Thursday) for a couple of drinks. The place was not crowded at all. We stayed late and the place never really filled up. I believe the weekends are a different story. But it was a good time — average priced drinks.

This place is funny. $ 300 for a bottle of Jack Daniel’s??? Oooooh, but you get to sit on one of their couches too! But once you finish your bottle you’re kicked off the couch.
I was only here for a friend’s birthday party. Drinks are pricey, but you do get what you pay for. The bartenders didn’t seem to be skimpy on the alcohol. The music was pretty good too. The combination of these two positives granted Kinki a extra star.
I had a good time because I had too much to drink not because it was an awesome dance club. I like people watching and this was a great place to do that.
One thing that really sucked was the fact that to get out the door you have to get past the dance floor. When I was leaving at 1:30am the floor was packed with sweaty drunk people and having to push past them all and have them rub against me gave me the heebie jeebies.

Why did I let myself get duped into going into this horrible place!
These poor patrons — I dont think anyone in this place had good parental guidance… or Im just too old (and I think its a little of both)
Highlights of my night.
1. Go go dancers in fuzzy boots
2. Girl in the candy cane dress humpin (I mean «dancing with») every man in a 10ft radius.
3. Candy canes friend who «dances with» the floor (on all fours)
4. Little man who you can ride around on a saddle — FYI I did not see any antibacterial spray for the saddle — ride at your own risk.
5. Tunes where the most offensive parts are all chanted by the crowd — dont forget to throw your middle finger!
Maybe if I drank more, it would have been more fun… but I doubt it. Lots of cats did buy me drinks — so at least I didnt spend much.
If you are 21 – 26 and like The Beat — this place is for you… if you are 35 and like The Edge — Go elsewhere.

I was so ready to hate on this place before we went inside… lines to get in, unnecessarily showy displays of checking «the List,» limos pulling up front… when I finally saw the name I realized I had heard of the Kinki Lounge and my friends had enjoyed it so I kept an open mind.
Once inside, I immediately loved the décor of this place. The music was good, and the bartenders were quick with the dranks. There were a few ladies dancin’ it up on some platforms scattered about the place, some looked like they should be there, some did not. I can see how some people wouldn’t appreciate these ladies’ presence, but I didn’t mind it; I thought it added to the ambience. However, towards the end when we were leaving, pretty much everyone had stopped dancing and was just gawking at the dancers so that was kind of lame.
And you know what else was super lame? The guy with the video camera who was getting all up in everyone’s business. I imagine his footage must have shown up on one of those cable access shows late at night that just shows people grinding on each other at clubs (and these dancers as well, since he was all up in their grills too). THAT was distasteful. I was also disappointed that I did not see any fire breathers or the guy that you can ride like a pony (is there a technical name for that? No idea. Sure sounds Kinki though.)
We didn’t stay long as we were in the midst of a chill girls’ night out when we decided to check this place out on a whim (and we felt kinda underdressed as a result). I’d definitely come back on a night where I intended to party and dance a little more :)

If you like:
ass-​crack
guys with glittery shiny random script on their tight t-​shirts
booty dancing
lap dance watching (two nasty couples were getting down on the couch)
scantily-​clad dancing women on stages
great DJs (this was the best part)
girls who wear shirts for dresses
girls who dance nasty with each other
… then this place is for you!
Interesting place. I think it would be fun if you had enough to drink

Kinki Lounge took the place of the former Red Jacket and turned it into an ultra-​lounge. Chad is your man at the door, and if you are from LA kibbitz with him a little bit about the 818. There is an oval shaped bar in the middle of the club which allows for faster service with better people watching. The scene is a mix of college students and Uptown 20 somethings eager to blow off steam. There are Go-​Go dancers, fire breathers, and a spacious dance floor. The weekends DJs play a great hip-​hop and mashup selection that leaves you wanting more at 2AM. The pretty people do not get here until 11, so have dinner at Pietros and then come down.

The Kinki Lounge exemplifies the principle that cash is king. People may complain about the «completely fake crowds, overpriced drinks, arrogant bouncers, [and] idiot bartenders» but what else should people expect from a place that offers its own «Black Card.» There is no doubt that better venues exist in Dallas but the Kinki Lounge has its own place in the nightlife scene. If you take it for what it is — a place to show off to your friends — the Kinki Lounge can be quite the experience. I liken a Saturday night to a house party with Cirque de Soleil. There are flame-​eaters, aerial acrobats, go-​go dancers, and even a human pony. The décor is luxurious with its red velvet décor and center-​piece bar. This is not a place to expect a party but rather for you to bring the party.
3 Stars — I had fun (as exhibited by the photos taken by my friend, Eugene Hsu). My friends had fun. But I can’t guarantee that you’ll have fun without purchasing a table. Despite its affinity towards prestige and plastic, I doubt that Dallas has the ready market for upscale clubs like the Kinki Lounge.
