Let me just start by saying this place is not great the lights are flashing so fast it gave me the spins and I threw chunks all over the floor. There’s a little small Irish man (security) that sells potatoes out the bathroom and when I asked what he was doing he proceeded to run out the back door. Later that night cincy police arrested the little jackal and took him to the clink.

The energy was high. Cool hang out. DJ was rocking. The bartenders were sweet.

I was very pleasantly surprised by my experience here! I’m 21+ but my two friends weren’t so it was one of our few late night options. We didn’t have any uncomfortable creeps and the staff was really helpful. The bartenders were awesome. The place was clean and drinks were great! We had a lot of fun dancing the night away.

I was in town for just a few days with friends and I’m glad I made a stop here. The people were very friendly. I didn’t have too much contact with Security however one of them did refer us to a popular restaurant in the city which we went to the next day and was awesome. The place was clean while we were there I’m not sure why people are giving so many negative reviews Because we had a great time the crowd was friendly the staff was friendly. I definitely recommend this place

Love the atmosphere of this place! The patrons are very friendly, everyone just wants to dance and have a good time. Drinks are ,meh, unless it’s a straight shot but then the price is high. Not all of the bartenders are nice, the first bar before entering dance floor, this person always has an attitude and serves who she chooses when she wants. Foam party is great! You don’t have to get wet if you don’t want, smoking area is outside with cute light up cube seats. It’s a really nice place to chill. College crowd with last years music.

Very nice 18+ night club with mixed crowd.

Great place, I wanna thank the staff for keeping me drunk and safe. What more could you ask for.

So I paid 60$ for me and my gf to get in on New Years. Security watched her walk into bathroom, then escorted me out saying I’m bumping into groups “under the influence”. I proceeded to tell security that I have not drank tonight(which I really didn’t, so I should’ve.) and he proceeded to grab me and pull me out. I was inside for maybe 1 minute before they kicked me out. If they thought I was under the influence, why’d you take my money and let me in?? This is not the club you want to go to. Also we drove over an hour just to get there. Sucked completely and took my money without refund. Hope it gets shut down. I recommend not going. Save your money and go somewhere better. Happy new year!.

There are many bad security and looking for money, one of them has small beard. Just br careful

Been here for new years eve. It was great!!!

I remember when this club was called Motion Nitelife back in the day and went from a hood club, country and rock club, and then to what it is now. If your lucky you might hear 5 seconds of a good song until the DJ mixes into songs I heard in high school back in 2006 if hes even on stage. I worked in one of the businesses at Longworths hall so it was convenient to stop in and get a drink after work but for what you get the price is pretty much average for downtown but you better be tipping or the bartender might get amnesia and forget you exist. You basically get what you pay for but you are downtown instead of a hole in the wall bar so its expected. The overall appearance of the club is nice but the dance floor does get extremely sticky because of kids spilling drinks and etc. The bathrooms are disgusting but there is no way to clear everybody off the dance floor in the middle of the night to clean. Nobody treats public bathrooms like theyre own so no matter where you go the bathrooms are not going to be immaculate unless you have a attendant posted in the restroom that loves their job to go above and beyond. No offense and not trying to call anybody racist but you already know that if your skin is darker than everyone else be prepared to bring at least 3 outfits with you or you will not get in and bring a belt. Black clubs dont last in the city or nearly anywhere else and Im sure the owner is trying to keep a certain clientele so be aware. There is more I can comment on but overall its not the best nor the worst and if your under 21 and a male its pretty much all you got around as far as I can think of. My only advice is to please update the music for your own benefit and light a fire under your DJ to do better.

Me and my friend were given a free VIP for life card and when I inquired about how to use it they said it’s no longer valid because we lied about how we got it and they blocked me on Facebook.

For the price, this place is pretty good. The music is a mix of everything; you will get good and bad songs but mostly good in my opinion. The building has some nice renovations. The club also has fun events to participate in if you would like but not mandatory (i.e. foam party). The place is well staffed and friendly as long as you aren’t doing anything you aren’t suppose to. The only thing that I didn’t completely like is that it is 18+ club so you will see a lot of younger people. This wasn’t a huge problem as they tend to behave but be careful when approaching someone. The parking lot is huge and well priced if you are looking to drive there. As much fun as you are looking to have, this place will provide it. I definitely recommend giving it try.

So I’ve been coming here for about two years with my sister and friends since I can’t get in anywhere else being under 21, and honestly im over it. In the beginning it was fine. However overtime we’ve watched this place go downhill.We rated five things and came up with an average rating of 2.4 stars1.Price 4/52.drinks 2/53.entertainment 2/54.cleanliness 1/55.staff 3/5The price is fine, but when you think of what you’re paying for it’s very much worth what you get. The women’s bathroom is always a gross mess and I know that not just the clubs fault but it could be looked after throughout the night.(and if it is once again I said I wasn’t the clubs fault entirely) The dance floor is covered in glass and drinks by the end of the night. Like I’m not sure who raised you people but have respect for others. There are trash cans placed around the dance floor. The music is mainly throwbacks or very boring. And that’s coming from someone who loves oldies but this is a night club, something more upbeat and up to date would be nice. The staff lol the bartenders are the nicest people working there!!!

Had a very bad experience here with my friends, the bouncers are incredibly rude and do not care for the safety of their clients. 0/10 going to actively tell all my friends to avoid for their own personal safetyedit for requested clarification: During the night of the ugly sweater party ended up meeting a woman who my friends assumed had been drugged. When we tried to get help from the staff because this woman was very clearly distressed the bouncers were less than helpful and acted as if this womans health and safety were an inconvenience. they allowed the man we believed drugged her to leave without obtaining a copy of his ID. the way the bouncers behaved made us feel unsafe and makes us wonder whether or not the management cares about the well being of their clientele.

Most unprofessional & hostile bouncers.Currently legally taking action because of Scott (one of the main bouncers) physically assaulting a friend with my friend not being outright or fight back at all. Really excited for Scott to get what he deserves! ( Luckily my close family member is in law & they told me they have camera with audio, so Im really excited to hear back from her to see what we can do and how we will be doing it! ).Of course seeing my friend whom is VERY innocent, fun loving person I was outright! I think I said every word in the book they deserved it! I spent 35 paying to friends to get in, then was kicked out not even 5 minutes later due to pants sagging slightly when we already went home to change once because of the dress code! Then I paid for them to get in and no one said anything else! I usually spend a lot of money there and I personally have a VIP card which was given to me by Scott! Ive seen him do this to SOME innocent people plenty of times but not this bad! I understand they need to protect themselves but there has been a couple times including this time Ive seen there was no threat.Somewhere I would never return again or tell my friends to go and Im kinda upset My birthday is in a week and had a party bus of 30-35 people coming then bar hopping after!

Profiling at its finest. Terrible place won’t return

Ive been to Energy several times and have always had a blast. Ive been to many nightclubs all over the world and this place ranks right up there with the top Vegas clubs. It has a good sized dance floor, great lights and rocking sound system. The bartenders were quick and served good drinks. Security is really cool, even on the night I had to much to drink and was a real jerk they were very patient and professional. Thanks guys. Keep doing what you do! I will definitely be back.

Rude staff and security harrased one of my guy friends for his beanie and yet had other people wearing it and apparently it was their religion please tell us what religion wears a white fish net beanie.Oh so now that you googled your answer since your staff couldnt answer that when we were there and you personally didnt show up when we asked for you other than when you get on here and try to make it seem like every one else is wrong, how about doing your job in person and actually fixing the problem right there and then.

Had fun and would go back...

Must say, this club has changed. Since the revamp the interior is very attractive and the light show quite impressive. The VIP Section felt close to the music but properly removed from the normal area. The whole place was clean and the dress code was well maintained. Music was solid and the DJ was very energetic. With a couple of friend this is a great place to spend the evening and the 18 up means anyone in college can come along. Will come back again!

Went out for my 20th birthday with three of my girls and we had a blast!!! Everyone was up dancing and staff was friendly. Have to visit if you’re in town and looking for a good time! 18+ club

Im not sure where to start. From my own personal experiences or my friends.To start from having to pay for parking and an entrance fee totalling at least $10 before getting in.Overpriced drinks and unoriginal cocktails.Im not even going to discuss the unoriginal events of red yellow green nights every week which has a bunch of late 20 year old dudes hitting on teenage girls.I will however mention how the DJ is playing Fergalicious to an audience thats too young to even know that song. Or How the DJ just presses play and walks away and then trash talks other DJs in Cincinnati.Ive had friends get kicked out by the bouncers who use homophobic slurs while doing it.The arrogance of the owners and horrible management of everything make thisclub the laughing stock of Cincinnati.Do yourself a favor and stay far away from Energy, theres a reason why its underneath a bridge in the slums.Dont let the one sentence 5 star reviews they pay for mislead you.Dont give them your money until the entire staff is replaced.

This place is extremely rude and aggressive to LGBT and POC patrons. They use offensive language and offer no explanation when choosing who they allow in the bar. This place is only good at piling in a bunch of 18 to 20 year olds for their cover dollars. Would not recommend. Music is also a bust, unless your idea of club music is early 2000s prom music. Guarentee to hear Ushers Yeah at least 4 times a night.

I went for my first time for their glow paint party. I had so much fun! The employees were awesome, dancing and friendly. The bar tenders were so kind, and one girl even did a little trick or 2 with our drinks before handing them to us! The music selection was great! A few friends and I even started a dance circle! I cant wait to go back and have an amazing experience there once again! I would for sure recommend going to this club!

Security guards are creeps, unprofessional, up to no good. One guard approached me and asked me to walk with him out the doors because he needed to “speak” with me and none of my friends were allowed to come. He had no reason to be taking me outside. Luckily my friend got in his face and his excuse was “i didn’t think she had on a wristband” even though i showed it to him when he approached me.

Same as all other night clubs. $5 for the entry. I liked their birthday bash parties.

My favorite club Ive been to! If you need somewhere to have fun and get away this is the place! DJ Sab is the best and provides a safe and eventful night! And all the bouncers look out for everyone! My favorite night getaway! :)

I would recommend checking the times so you don’t get there too early and have to wait around at the bar

My best friend and I attend energy every weekend like its church. Its by far my favorite club to goto and Ive gone to plenty around the country. The vibes are always good, music is always great, the events like foam & paint parties are awesome, the security guards arent douche bags. We always bring a few friends with us when we dont come just us 2, and they have a great time and end up coming back with their buddies. Ive never had anything but a blast. Definitely recommend going!

My friends & I came here many weekends, spend a lot of money & referred many others to come here. Unfortunately due to the disrespectful bouncers & unnecessary treatment we will not be returning. This place would be so much better if the owner actually cared about who he hires. I’ll be paitietly waiting for his response on this post to tell how his club is so amazing and the hundreds of bad reviews on here have nothing to do with the horrible service & trash quality.

LMAOoooOooOooOo at all the whiners who gave this place 1 star for being kicked out!!! Thank you for your negative review! For a person like me who reads reviews to get a feel before going somewhere, its nice to know that this club screens their clientele and actually has the nads to do something about the low class trash trying to ruin their vibe. Your bad reviews only make this place look that much better!! Cant wait to go this weekend!!

I love this place we were in the club the drink are cheap I got in free on ladies night

Was there this past weekend and had a blast. Great time. Love the building and the layout. Didnt have any problems at all.

A mix of people which I like. I feel safe. The bartenders are really good and energetic. Sometimes the music is mediocre, they cut off good dance songs too quick, and sometimes it is an exact repeat of previous times I was there

It is a very nice and clean place for fun. It allows people under 21.

Horrible music. Get some real DJs. Ive been here a few times and its the same tracks on repeat. If you exclusively like early/mid 2000s pop/rap then maybe this is the place for you.

It was alright need better music tho....my friend lost his I phone x here we tried to get it back but we were told to leave by police and the bouncers didn’t fr say much about it, it’s still on too I’ve called it

I went for my first time last night 03/10/18 for the glow party it was amazing all the staff answered all my questions and were very friendly I will definitely come back every weekend if I can thank you energy nightclub

As a club is nice, but music wise and dancing is very trash, please have a faster music type, maybe more to rap...

Great staff, good music, perfect Ambience especially the outdoor lounge.

I am planning on coming for the 1st time Saturday for a bday party. I wanted to check the reviews first. I love how the owner responds to all these losers who had such a terrible experience. Good to know they keep the trash outside

Clean that place i dont know if is the people or the palce but something smells like dead

Me and my friends had a spectacular time on one of the teen nights! That free water was bomb af

I went to Energy Nightclub Saturday 4/14/18, I am a 29 year old multi-racial female from cincinnati and I loved the whole Energy experience staff were very prompt and polite My 18 year old sister and my best friend and fiance all had a great time.. Music was mixed really well loved whoever was dj that night. Bartender Lady made my drinks really well and they were affordable and so worth it. Best place Ive been clubing in Cincinnati to me.

They are really cheap on alcohol. Their drinks are bad, I spent over $30 on drinks and still couldnt get drunk. This fine If you wanna go to that club, but make sure you drink from somewhere else before you walk in there....

This is the most exciting nightclub Ive been to; their atmosphere is unique and I would highly, highly recommend going. You could say... they create a unique... energy.

This place aint bad except for the fact they let children in as in anyone whose 18-20 yrs old.

Perfect place for a girls night! The staff was friendly, short wait for drinks, and everyone loved the music :)

My 20yr old daughter and her friends went there to celebrate one their birthday. It was literally like the 3rd time they had ever been to a club. She said they were just standing behind a bunch of people waiting to get in when a bouncer came up to her and said what F are you doing who the F do you think you are? My daughter said who are you talking to? The bouncer- Im talking to you Fing B. So you thought you could get in without showing ID or paying? My daughter replied I have no idea what youre talking about. Theres 2 lines? Im in the wrong line? And he just kept calling her names even though she told him she did not know she was in the wrong line and not to talk to her like that.Do not go here unless you want to be verbally abused by roid rage bouncers. I hope it made you feel powerful verbally abusing my daughter. The cops apologized but nobody from Energy.

ONE OF THE BEST CLUBS IN CINCINNATI OHIO NICE MANAGEMENT AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN I WILL BE BACK TO CINCI! #DAYTON OHIO I TRAVELED 1 HOUR AND IT WAS WORTH EVERY MILE!! FATJOSH

I am about to be there the weekend of june 2 for my bday party and its my friends bachlorette party. Im glad to see all yhe positive reviews. I cant wait to stop by.

Horrible environment and horrible music. If you want to have a good time I would recommend anywhere else. Please do t make the mistake I did and avoid at all costs.

A place to unwind and have fun with your friends and family

Music is always great, bartenders are super quick and super friendly! Overall the place is very well kept.

Been kicked out twice. The first time prom was next door we left prom to go to energy an got kicked for being to loud how in a club are you to loud. Last year i went with a big group of friends. First issue i had on heels an slipped on pee an throw up in the bathroom i had to go to my car to change shoes second this guy in front of us dancing tried to start mash pit an started swinging wildly a fight broke out we got pulled in trying to stop what was going on an got kicked out then...dj sab himself said we started it im just avoiding the place at this point maybe 6 more years ill go back smh

Its alright. The floors seem to be perpetually sticky from spilled boose and the foam stuff got all over my only nice pair of shoes lmaoo

Have yet to go here yet. Im somewhat hesitant to when it used to be called Pulse and I got thrown out the first time I went back during the Pulse times. I may eventually check it out. One thing I will say thats a big thumbs up to the new place is having a dress code listed on their website.Pulse never did that. They just picked select folks to kick out it seems. Making matters even more aggravating is the local law enforcement getting all damn itchy to ticket/arrest someone if theyre stuck no ride home or anything. Hopefully thats all been swept clean and improved with the new name and renovation.

Great club. Easy entry, great sound, and music is awesome. Reasonable drinks and a great selection. Best option in Cincinnati!

Love the Bartenders and music!!! If youre looking for dancing and good priced drinks, I recommend energy!

Left my debit car there Saturday night as I had a tab open and the staff pushed and hurried us out of the doors at close, no way to get in touch with anyone working there, wont answer emails and wont answer the phone number given. I received a charge on my card the following morning which was expected but now there is another charge that just came up as pending on Tuesday... this clubs staff is a joke, bartenders were ok but the security are thugs and management seems to be very dishonest, Ill be disputing the charges with my bank I guess and ordering another card. Edit: owner has been in contact with me and resolved the issue, I would go back again.

This club has very unprofessional workers. they are racist and disrespectful for no reason than get defensive off every little comment someone makes on here smh like we are just trying to let people know the experience we went thru at this nasty place than the owner tried to make it like were lying or exaggerating but whatever this place will get shut down soon anyways .

Best building in Cincinnati for a night club honestly. Its a shame they dont have special guest DJs come through more often, not a huge fan of DJ Sab blasting radio hits all night

1. Check their website for deals to get in.2. If you get there before 11, dont expect a great crowd. The party usually starts about midnight or 1am.3. Check the website to make sure you know what kind of night it is - - sometimes theres different events going on for each night.

Yesterday was my first night going everyone was nice it was a really cool spot and I love it the drinks were very good HAAPY NEW YEAR !!

I have been coming to what was known as Pulse Nightclub for years and have grown a friendship with the staff there. With that, heres my review of what is now Energy Nightclub.Coming into the new doors of Energy, you are greeted by security to make sure that youre wearing the right type of clothing. Sorry, this is not your Slob of a mess look nightclub, as Energy Nightclub is one of the largest nightclubs in Cincinnati. After youre checked and cleared, you begin to enter what is Energy nightclub, making it a non-confusing way to enter the club, youre then greeted by two more employees who check your IDs and ether give you a wristband (21+) or let you through to pay (18-20). After youre done checking in and paying youll make your way into the Lounge-feel bar area, where you can get multiple kinds of Craft beer and other drinking amenities. Making your way through that, youll enter into the Main club area. With that be it, lets talk about the changes. Youll notice right away, that this space is huge! Brand new staging, lighting, and sound equipment from the top brands of Pro Audio, brand new styles of seating arrangements and no more vacant balcony VIP area. All of the VIP areas are now on the main floor and it brings a better feel in the mix. To the left of entering the nightclub, youll see the main bar, that features a red glow from the bottom up and a brand new bar top to go with it, also featuring lit-up bottles behind the bar, to endure that they have the most premium booze in the building.The dance floor is still the same, with a few exceptions. Theyve removed the cluttered dance risers and made the floor all one level. The DJ booth is now a DJ booth, where DJ Sab and others can host some of the biggest events in the city, all with comfort ability. Youve also have to take in the area around the dance floor. Removing the clutter that was the old couches, makes that area bigger. Replacing the old couches with newly lounge area seating makes you feel that youre still apart of the club and not slouching at your house. To the right of the entrance to the main club area, youll see a round, island style table for you to associate with the crowd around you.All in all, this club will blow your socks off and it has improved immensely, I hope that DJ Sab is going to have a ton of fun with the new style of club. You definitely get the Vegas style atmosphere, with the Cincinnati twist. Energy Nightclub should be your nightclub.

First time was last night and we loved everything about it!

Very very rude to people

Good night club if you wanna get screwed over and lied about my husband and I was there couple weeks ago and he accidentally Smoked his vape inside we WAS NOT drunk like owner trys to say we had to drive 2 hrs back home and was only there to dance but we got asked to leave and we left willingly asked him if we was banned they said no just go home for the night well last night we go and drive two hours to get there only to be told that he got put on the block list after they told him he would not be due to accident vaping inside the building not thinking because where we live we can use Vape in the bars we was not rude and did not fight them we walked out and left so Im pissed and will be going to my family member who is an, attorney and will be putting charges because it does not have anything posted saying no smoking or Vape witch means they legally cant say or do anything if its not. Posted DONT GO HERE unless you want done dirty and for them to try and cover there asses by saying you was drunk and rude and me and my husband dont even drink because we drive home after and be prepared to get nasty messages from them if you leave a review they dont like on here and facebook and the message to my husband on facebook will also be in my lawyers hands witch we will also help for a law suit with them like I said People DONT GO Here owner and workers are very rude

Amazing!! Best club in cincinnatti

Ide give less than a star if i could. This place literally kicked me out over having my hood 25% on. F this place. Dont go

This club was one of the worst I have been to. The music was atrocious, hardly anybody was there, there were no signs or anything telling where the club was even at, our uber driver had trouble even finding it. The rudeness of the bar tender was horrendous. Even when we tried to request any song besides justin Bieber or Ariana grande they never played it and were honestly just rude about us even requesting a song. Extremely disappointing.

Great place friendly staff the music is good

Favorite club in cincinnati. good music, cool people, nice staff!

If your black dont waste your time your not getting in unless your a local athlete me and some college friends from cincinnati who all went to clark tried to get in twice with no luck the bouncer told my friend his pants where to baggy he had on super skinny dress pants!!! I went one week later with my cousin adam who plays for the bengals and got treated like a king i wonder why.

Great music, always busy, good priced drinks

Best night club in town so far that i found !!

Good time. Felt safe

A fun place to be at, during special events.

Amazing place to dance... I wish this place is open everyday..

What a horrible night club. horrible music, weird crowd, nice venue though. A bunch of creepy old dudes. Would not go again

Underage drinking is going on in this place!!! They should be shutdown.

Great crowd..good ambience

Go to this club at your own risk

Great place to dance and meet new people

Dj and overall experience was good!!

Very homophobic place , worst place to be if you are lgbt .

Bc

How can I contact a manager.

Homophobic
