Toc Bar

I chose to take my friends to this club because i knew a guy who was in good with the guy who owns the club, when we got there it seemed that we went on the busiest night of them all. Im not the biggest fan of crowded clubs but i know there are people who may enjoy those sorts of things. The Toc Bar has 2 floors, with a DJ and photographer being on the first floor, it gave me the impression that the club could totally be my kind of venue. The first floor is nicely lit with blue lights bouncing off of the walls and had space for anyone to make there moves and dance as much as they want. The DJs on both floors were playing nothing but hip hop and about 80% of the music was hardcore, ratchet style, trap rap. Im not really the biggest fan for that kind of music, but i went along with it because i didn’t know any better than to think it’d only get better as the night progressed. There is hardly any seating anywhere on the top floor which is a disappointment for me because unless you are prepared for everything that is going on further down on the 2^nd floor, you’d think the only way to enjoy yourself would be to stay up on the 1^st floor and have all of your fun dancing and drinking up there. When i went downstairs, it was so crowded and filled up, the best way to imagine/​describe it is to relate it to a crowded concert with no seating. Everybody was jam packed together rubbing shoulder to shoulder with only enough room to put there hands straight up, then back down to their sides. That environment combined with people jumping around yelling the songs lyrics and stepping on your feet and an expensive bar amounts to nothing but discomfort and an underwhelming time out since it never seems to move on from that. As you could imagine there were about 4 fights that broke out throughout the night on the bottom floor with probably all but one of them being girl fights. Definitely not the place to take your woman out to and neither is it a place you’d want to go scouting for if you’re single. It may be hard to keep up with your friends or anyone you’re with if you take your chances with the 2^nd floor. Believe me, you’ll spend most of your time trying to keep up with them and make sure your safety isn’t in harms way. Im sure the club was 18+ so maybe that could have something to do with how crowded it was, but i also want to mention there was a VIP part of the club upstairs that goes to this balcony outside. It could be seen in the parking lot right behind it towards where Chase Bank is. You could see the chairs and tables, the flat screens and even someone grilling i think even, maybe it was a separate bar outside possibly. Unfortunately i didn’t spend my time enjoying that part of the club. Obviously i left the club unsatisfied with my experience. I would not pay to get in this club if i knew i would not go to the VIP section.

Pros:
Open past 2am (I think til 3:30−4am), two floors of hiphop and outdoor patio for more private mezzanine lounging. Fairly large venue so it can feel empty if both floors aren’t packed. Lots of TV’s downstairs and more room to dance as well as full bar. Upstairs is smaller but has a DJ who can spin so it’s always flowing. There’s a VIP upstairs too if you’re into that…
Cons:
Not much parking since it’s downtown. Also I didn’t see much else around the area so don’t expect to pub-​crawl or bar-​hop very much.

totally not my type of club.
I would never go back there in my entire life
people look like they are from the hood. no offense, but that was how i felt last night.

This club is a threat to public safety. I work across the street and every week there are police cars and ambulances outside because someone has been stabbed. The crowd it attracts is obnoxious, disgusting and turn the entire surrounding area into a horrible and threatening place each Saturday night as they descend upon this club like rats into a sewer. I really hope the City takes action and closes it down!

Well, the music was really good. But at midnight it was still kind of empty. You will mostly see hispanic and black people… Eh after all they are better at dancing hip hop and rnb (just kidding).
The place was clean and looked nice except for the ladies restrooms which was very stinky. If you have a large group of friends you will like it but I was there yesterday night, a saturday and it was kind of empty. My friend and I had to leave to try somewhere else.
It is free for ladies before 11pm.

I went here on a friday night for a friend’s birthday because she knew the bouncers and bartenders. Whatever… wrong choice. IT WAS SO DEAD. You could hear the crickets… still had fun though. but i’d advise to go in a big group.

Real good music if you like rap and r&b… but…
If you want to go to a club and see a fight then come here. lol
Its crazy how this club could be jumping and every one is having a good time and then a minute later some one is fighting becuase you looke at them wrong or acidently bumped into them .
This place gets very packed with people, to a point where you cant move with in your space.
I love the music theres no other club i been to that place consective music back to back hits like this one.
