Great place to go for drinks and dancing! Friendly staff and they allow outside food in as well.

Enough with R&B... Please play great dance music until at least 9:30pm or so. Then, knock yourself out with R&B... Service is fantastic... the DJ needs encouragement... read more

Use to love going to Crocodiles. Checked the website to see the cover charge rate, different rates for different times were listed. Arrived whe it should have been a $5 cover only to be told it was $20 because it was a special event. The special event I guess was the birthday parade? I'm not sure but an additional $15 for that seemed outrageous. We had reserved tables, our server was rarely there to get drinks, I cleared our tables sever times. When we needed drinks, we just went to the ar only to be told that we had to order from our server. Problem was the server was not checking on us. The music has changed quite a bit with a few sings that were played several times. I know things change especially with new ownership, I highly doubt I'd ever go back. Definitely not worth the $20 cover charge and the very overpriced drinks, and not great service. read more

Had a great time here for the Halloween Party! The staff were so so attentive and the drinks were good! The music was great for dancing. Overall, my friend group and I had fun! read more

So fun and everyone here is always such a good vibe bartenders are the best in town and I've had long time friends who absolutely loved working here and every night here has been a good one! read more

The security guards were very disrespectful. I understand that there is a dress code. The security picks and chooses who they let in. I took photos showing other individuals inside wearing hoodies with plaid and plaid shirts as well. This felt inconsistent and unfair. The way the situation was handled made us feel targeted for being Hispanic and disrespected. Because of this experience, I will not be returning . The other guys that were let in were caucasian as the security guards were. Josh and Juan was professional, however, the guard that was outside was extremely angry, yelling and wanted confrontation. kyle needs a lot of training. He speaks in an angry tone . Behavior issues with them. I would give a zero but not able too read more

Crocodiles Nightclub - Celebrating our Anniversary!!! - Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

My friend and I went to check out this place. She remembered that Thursday nights was salsa night. But apparently not anymore. It was pretty dead. The DJ did play a variety of music from Mana to La boda del huitlacoche. There was also a lady celebrating her 50th birthday and had a very fun group of people with her. Seemed to be enjoying themselves. Plenty of tables. Bathrooms a bit outdated but from what I heard the place has been on business for close to 50 years. What was a shock to me was when I ordered some beers and the waitress brought them all to me opened. Who does this?!? So if I head to the dance floor or the restroom I can't come back to closed and untampered beer bottles?!? Uncool and hence only two starts. Come on ppl. Common sense. Will not recommend. ** Per the Owner it's a state regulation. Wow!! This is new to me. I'd love to see the code or regulation on this sir. I can totally understand if I went up to the bar and asked for a beer and the bar tender handed it to me opened. Sure, absolutely. But an entire bucket of beer? Where someone can just walk by and spike my drink when I'm in the restroom? Yeah. Again... would not and will not recommend. My friend and I had to alternate going to the bathroom to make sure no one messed with our drinks. read more

Crocodiles Nightclub - Unopened beer bottles. What clubs do this! It's a negative for me. Will not be returning here. - Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

Food was terrible. All cold, we got there about 7 o'clock thought. We were going to have a nice meal. But it was cold and they ran out of food and the music was terrible. It's all like disco music or something. I didn't like the music at all. We just left. read more

Very very RUde. We were just taking a a.picture by the fountain and he Rudely told us to move! Then went and complained to someone else and bald me out. Not good been coming for 20 plus years! Very sad! Your so called security are very very Rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Had to give them a star in order to post this review but they don't deserve any stars! Went out for new years tonight with some friends and got the worst customer service ever from the owner of crocodiles nightclub in Modesto California! I complained about waitress never bringing our drinks after hours of waiting. Food we paid for was nasty and very cold! Requested to speak with owner and he came out just to argue with me and threw me out of his club for telling him about my experience and telling him customer service was bad! He said he checked the cameras! Really??? I am so disgusted with this whole experience especially it being a brand new year! That is definitely not how you start a new year! This owner needs to be out of business! Because he doesn't know how to treat customers! If this is how he treats customers giving simple feedback he won't last long in this business! read more

Fun time wish more people where hear. Having a great time at Crocodiles . Wish they didn't have a post minimum read more

A few pro's and con's.. 1. Get your tickets online through eventbrite not sure if you can buy at the place but that might be less expensive if you are nearby 2. When we arrived our table was switched so we had to show our tickets to get the table we paid for #89 it was near the stage and artists BUT they never gave us a lanyard like everyone else that said VIP. 3. Also there is no security or anyone managing that area SO basically everyone who wanted to get near the artist or the stage could crowd your table and stand in front of you. I paid lots of money just to have people who paid the basic cover charge just stand around me. We asked security which was maybe one or 2 guys and they tried but they mainly kept the standing room only VIP in order not our area by the artist entrance! I should of paid half the price for my seat for the inconvenience of sharing it with anyone wanting to get items signed or photos that was very rude and no crowd control. 4. The poor waitress cant even get to our area without fighting the crowd. 5. The DJ played music that was not even the music that the crowd was there for. Hire DJ's to fit the artist that are there that only makes sense we would of stayed longer and drank more if the DJ after played good music like the music we were there for. 6. Parking is easy and right in front, they do charge $20 IF you want closer spot, not sure they can do that but its available LOL 7. The drinks were good and average price, waitresses were nice and helpful. 8. Dance floor is big enough and that was fun while it lasted.... read more

We love coming here. It's a chill fun time and the variety of music played is great. There is a strict dress code for men especially when it comes to plaid, so don't think you'll get in with it. The staff are always very nice and I love that there is seating. Can't wait to celebrate my birthday there this month. read more

If you are over 40 and want to go somewhere with fun music from your era, this is your place! They make a delicious lemon drop too. Prices for everything have gone up, but they have great security and will even walk you to your car if you ask. read more

Crocodiles Nightclub - Dance floor - Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

I have been coming here for 31 years. A new owner took over & now my $8 drink is $30 are you kidding me. The cover charge went from $5 to $12. They haven't upgraded or changed decor ever & they think they can justify these prices. I'm never coming here again. read more

Well I just found out that on May 25th when A large group of us were going there, it's going to suck. Three hours of line dancing?? WHAT?? Then 2 hours of Karaoke, this is ridiculous. We were going to dance but not waiting until 10 to do that. This place is beginning to suck.. poor management by far! read more

Showed up with my husband who is Mexican. He was wearing a Dixxon shirt with a hat and I was wearing a hoodie. The bouncer said, "I was just told you can't wear plaid and you can't wear a hat." No problem...take off the hat & wear my hoodie. Then, the bouncer said, "Well, you can't wear hoodies either." I said, "I'm wearing a hoodie and you never said to can't wear hoodies." He said, "This is my management. They told me while you were walking up." Then, another guy walks up with a plaid shirt on and I said, "Sorry, he said no plaid so you can't go in." The bouncer lets him in. I said, "You said no plaid!" We had friends in there who had asked us to come so I told my husband to call his friend. My husband is a veteran who served for 23 years and his friends inside were part of the veteran association he was in. His friend comes out (older white gentleman) wearing a plaid shirt. We said, "He's wearing plaid!" and another bouncer said, "That's checkered." Not to mention, the guy they let in wearing plaid behind us was white. I told them they were being racist and they said we were "pulling the racist card." It makes no sense that my husband who is clearly Mexican is not let in with a Dixxon on when 3 white guys were let in with "checkered" shirts. NEVER AGAIN. It's disgusting to know that my daughter is a darker tone skin and she will have to deal with this in her future. read more

We just need more old school music let's hear it lots of old school.old school keeps us dancing.

This place used to be a lot of fun , security was always cool no issues . The newer staff security are 100% looking to start problems with customers , last night we had a spot reserved for my mom's bday & everything was going ok until about 10pm , my uncle was watching the boxing fights standing near the railing next to the pool tables , completely out of the way of everybody ! However some ladies said they couldn't see the fights so security asked my uncle to move over a bit & he did , at some point it wasn't good enough for them & my uncle told them he moved over like they asked , I guess security didnt like that he had an opinion , few seconds later there was about 3 security guards surrounding my uncle & one of them though it was necessary to put his hands on my uncle & toss him out , mind you my uncle is a 62 yr old man who wasn't even drinking . Security here is going to get this place in a lot of trouble , I smell lawsuits in the future . read more

Mixed crowd, wide selection of music and dancing. Everyone I met was very friendly. I'll be back.

Quick Disclaimer- My friends and I weren't admitted I went here expecting a cool low-key experience but it was very loud inside, not playing the sort of music I was expecting (it was regular club music, sounded fun but not what I was looking for. Also they're pretty strict about their dress code so make sure you're adhering before going. If you're looking for a more laid back place that plays classic 70s-80s hits this might not be the place. read more

it all started with we bought 8 tickets at 55.00 each we were in line waiting to get in for about hour when we did get in to sit we were missing two chairs and the table were not enough to fit 8 to eat.We had to squeeze to eat .And if that was not enough they were suspose to have chicken tri tip and salmon we wanted salmon but they said they ran out and also chicken it was a joke who does that there chargeing alot for the food but all your getting is tri tip they should of order enough food to cover everyone the business sucks all never go there on New Years again never thought it was this way.It not like they ran out that how there business my sister said she goes they run out of salmon and i dident want belive this so this will be my last time going letting all you guys know its not worth 55.00 a plate and tgey run out of food I did try calling the next day to talk to manager you cant reach no one they wont pick up the phone now u know why to many compliants they should be shut down for ripping off the public there crooks read more

I used to come here a long time ago and was looking for a place to listen to music and dance but am being told if you're old go down the road. WTH ? I just even read 2 recent negative reviews that no one has responded to. Christian are you the manager ? Get your bouncers under control. People have cameras now a days. Does your bouncer have a problem with the over 60 women ? Are you concerned at all ? read more

This place played great music, but was overly crowded due to an event. Service could be a little better, but all in all we had an amazing time here and will be going back. read more

This place has the best staff and owners I have worked with in a long time. Professional and accommodating. I had the pleasure to perform there and got to enjoy the atmosphere afterwards. The dance floor is great for dancing and is super retro with the lights running through it. The Dj was playin the jams too. I highly recommend this place for a great night out. read more

We've been coming here for years. New Year's Eve, Birthdays, Work Gatherings, and even on Thursday Nights. We love the atmosphere and the employees are very friendly.

Had a great time the other night!! I always forget how fun this place is. Oh and the server (Sarah!!) was amazing. I'm coming back soon.

This used to be an awesome place to go. I've been coming here since probably 1988 when it was the Pavilion. I have had the worst trouble with the new bouncers, completely unprofessional rude to say the least! There was a night it was $20 to get in for some bands. They said they had coming, no one came but a single woman singing at about 11 PM. I kept sitting in the wrong places and getting kicked out everywhere I sat. I moved quickly. When asked to the last table I got kicked out of. I went back about 30 minutes later to talk to the gal that I had been talking to and she said it was her table and that I could sit there. I said I just got kicked out of here half hour ago. She kept insisting it was her table. I said OK Bouncer came up told me to leave immediately. He did not want to hear anything I had to say and I left complaining to the sweet young lady behind the counter that takes the Tickets and the other bouncer. He said come back and talk to the manager early one night. So I did the same bouncer kicked me out again about a month later! I'm Almost 70 years old. I don't get kicked out of places I didn't do anything that would ward this type of treatment‼ completely unprofessional rude to say the least I have birthday parties. I've been invited to, and I can't come because of this man at the door ! He wears a cap I won't say his name, but his behavior will be aparent. This has never ever happened in all these more than 40 years of coming to this establishment. I am so disappointed in somebody that would act like this to represent a place that has been around for so long and has a good reputation there's more to it, but I'll stop here. read more

This has been a long time favorite spot for a fun night out with great music. We were there a couple weekends ago for a date night. Sarah (our server) was awesome! She new our drink orders and was always friendly and fast! The music was great, and the crowd is a lot of fun! If you want a place to go dance that doesn't have the young night club feel this is definitely your spot! read more

I have been wondering if I should go here to experience the alligators? Those are all the old women that still want D but have crocodile skin? I think this place just serves sugar drinks and bud light. If at all possible can anyone explain why 25-34yo peeps should come here and fight off the old men that still think bobby brown and Al. B. Sure is the current love making music? Also, you have to watch your car as the parking lot is full of after hours rift raft as well as the police that patrol the lot with AI hunting license plate scanners. Perhaps this is a step in safety; but also a step in abusive powers. Long story short, if you in for a desperate need of a scratchy dinosaur skin hookup then this might be the place for you. read more

I love going to this place! Nothing but good vibes and the staff is amazing! Especially Jacqueline who was super sweet and attentive the whole night and helped with anything I needed. I will totally be back(: read more

Great place to spend an evening! Great service, great music, great food! Love the themed nights and Will be returning for more of the fun!

This place is sort of a hit or miss for me! I do love how attentive the employees are here and they're so much fun too! You don't have to huddle in front of the bar as they will bring your drink order to you at one of the tables or other seatings. The music can be super fun on some nights and other nights be a bit dull. Although I do like the fact that I can come to this nightclub and not have to worry about rack city playing lol I'm sorry if that's your thing but you won't hear tyga in this club the drinks are also pretty good and reasonably priced, I recommend the crocodile drink! They also have this special on I think Friday where fireball shots are $4 when fireball by pit bull is playing and honestly that's so quirky and cute ! read more
