This was my first time going for my BESTIE's bday party and from the time I stepped up on the curb to the time I stepped back off it going home we were treated like royalty. The drinks were great, the bartenders were beautiful and efficient, the dj was on point, and the atmosphere was very grown and sexy. I wish I had asked 4 the mangers name because he was ON IT! Then don't get me started on the outdoor patio. 😥 Yes I will be going back.

One of my favorite chill spots. Good drinks, music, food & people. If you love sports & music this is your local spot. To top off a long hot day the Blu Onyx has a pool with an open bar & the waitress in the pool area serve in swimsuits. Everything all in 1 spot.

It was a nice, laid-back environment and a nice change of scenery from my normal routine. Also there was a side for lounging complete with multiple flat screen tvs and another separate side for dancing and mingling each side had its own bar and the waitresses were serving some of their nightly specials.

My cousins and I were in town for our other cousin's birthday party and we decided to go here for the after party - it was LIT!!! First of all, they let you pay with cash app if you don't have cash (now I might be a little late...I haven't been out in almost 2yrs but they weren't doing that back in my clubbing days!) so anyways, I loved the atmosphere inside; the lights, music selection, and the pool tables are FREE! Then you go out back - they have an outside bar, a swimming pool °o° and they had a life size Connect Four!! I definitely plan on going back one day during the summer

This place is cool! It’s set up like a men’s club but it’s not one. Here are my notes Onyx. 11pm arrival. Only Latino here but nobody cared. Friday. $20 cover. Street parking available. Good crowd and energy. Smoking allowed inside but good ventilation. Music at a tolerable level. You can sit anywhere until someone gets a bottle and wants your spot. Employees are super chill. I would be curious to see this place in the summer with the very clean outdoor pool. Everyone was friendly and there were some serious cuties here. Nobody in dancer attire. Just people drinking and some girls dancing in street clothes. I’m sure things might change as the night goes on. I left at 12:30 and the place was getting better and better
