I did not know there was such a great face spot in downtown Savannah! We were leaving the club beside it and like the Pied Piper playing music, we were all drawn into the club. There are two sections. We went to the section that is free to get in to. I'm not sure the vibe of the other section. I did look, and it had lots of lights and smoke machine. The dj in our area did a great job at reading the crowd so the dance floor stayed full. And he did some great mixes. There was just enough people. The bar had a line but it never was too big. It was really late on a Friday night So there were some shady characters. You just need to be safe when you leave. If you stay near the club the bouncers were still Outside so you should be pretty safe. It's a fun spot! read more

Lots of attitude, really boring, and a waste of time. It's no wonder Alaia Baldwin flung a used tampon at the staff after they attempted to manhandle her. So sad read more

We bought vip tickets 1 month advance for a 18+ magic mike show and drag show. drag show was canceled , the day of magic mike we received a courtesy call for magic mike confirming our tickets. We were told we could show up early for a free drag show prior to magic mike since our show the night before was canceled . How cool right? Nope we get to Elan and the bar wouldn't let us in , saying the rule changed the week before that it was now 21+. Gave us a few problems at the door with bad attitudes and poor customer service. They were very rude and unprofessional. I will never recommend savannah GA against , definitely won't remind Elan. read more

We bought tickets $30 each, had to pay another $20 for a folding chair seat after inside the building. Plus you pay $20 for 2 drinks when you get inside the door. It was so dark in there you couldn't see the performers faces. There were 3 of them and they performed a total of 5 songs. This lasted approximately 40 minutes. After that was the male review. Chippendale is wasn't. It was just plain raunchy. read more

Do not go to the drag show!!! The entire thing is a rip off! I'm so disappointed. Don't even offer that sad show. And nickel and dime for everything. I bought through an app and unknowingly, after the show, I realized I paid for seating when it was included in the ticket! Wtf!!! I hope this place is shut down for bad business. Tried to get my money back but was told i was not forced to get seating so it's my fault. We're 7 girls on my bach party, wtf! Clearly you guys need the money more than I do. Consider it a donation. Big space that was severely empty sooooo idk how they're still in business. read more

Went for the Diva Royale Show & there was all of 20 people in the audience..i should of knew right then it wasn't going to be great. I thought they would have more performers but they had only around 4 drag queens, and the DJ was awful. The DJ kept messing up everyone's tracks, SO uncomfortable. I was looking at other audience members faces, and a lot of them were "cringe" faces. $20 cash for 2 drink tickets which only gets you a bottom shelf "double" drink. $20 for one drink!!!! Oh, and DONT buy the "hot seat" for that special persons occasion....You sit on a white plastic chair in front of the stage to just watch another performance. All around a very uncomfortable show that was supposed to be super fun & upbeat. read more

its great environment if u want to make bad decisions whilst having a great time. Great place tht u will make u wake up in the AM and feel like absolutely shit but regret nothing. read more

This is a fine place for a corporate function when the goal is being social, cocktails and having the DJ spin a bit, but in terms of a Club, it's off the mark. It was characterized as Club by everyone locally who referenced it. As a club it's teeny tiny, and offers no place to hide away, the key to every good club is having places to be private. Additionally, the space is broken up by columns and furniture that looks like it was made in the local high school shop. It's just hinky. As a bar and place to listen to band it's better but I can't 2.25 stars. The bar tenders do a great pour, they were attentive and the food served was good enough- again it's just a weird space. The pics make it look mod and hip... it's not, did I mention it's just hinky? :) I suppose I use the stars to tell tale about whether or not I would go back, 3 stars is take it or leave it... indifference to I don't mind, but it would not be on my list of picks. 2 is just meh to I'd rather not if given a choice. Elan has no.... well, elan at all, maybe call it Low County, that would be accurate, fair and just fine actually... catching a band at low county would be cooler. read more

We bought VIP tickets $380 for a group of 6 of us for Diva Royale Drag Queen Show. Then had to pay our $120 cash at door for drink min per person. Doors opened at 6:30. We were first and only attendees there. We asked if we could sit on nice leather couches that were nicely arranged around the dance floor and they told us no. The door man unprofessionally put his arm around me as he sipped his drink and told me that we would have to pay an additional $60 per person (total $360) to sit there. It was an up charge from VIP. VIP seating was hard metal chairs . And General Admission was standing up only. Needless to say we declined to pay the extra $360 and sat in a straight row of metal chairs . The show started promptly and still we were the only attendees in this entire club . It was embarrassing to us because no one else was there and I had paid VIP expecting that service of being treated as such. After the first performer , we decided to leave. And we will not be going back. read more

Promoters outside gave us some cards to go inside and get a free drink so we thought why not. Didn't mind paying a $5 cover for 2 free drinks. When we get inside the bartender tells us that they don't do free drinks if there's a DJ? Scam. Just trying to get people inside. There were maybe 30 people inside, all sitting down bc it was boring. Waste of time UPDATE: went to a different bartender and he said they were taking the cards & let me use it. First bartender is a douche. read more

This "club" is horrifying and not the slightest bit fun even if your favorite songs playing. It's an 18+ club but if your under 21 be prepared to be disrespected by all the workers. The security is all disgusting pigs. I've been to lots of night clubs but have never experienced anything like this. I've gone to this club twice and both times I felt like I was at a middle school dance. I AM BEGGING YOU DONT GO HERE. THIS PLACE DESERVES TO BE SHUT DOWN. If your the owner or manager of this place please message me back because I would love to chat :) and would like a refund for any money I've given to this "business". Would love to see this shit hole get shut down for good ! Makes Savannah look sloppy read more

My best friend wanted to try somewhere new for her birthday, so we came to Elan on Saturday. It was fairly empty when we first got there around 10:30pm, there were a few underage people milling around the dance floor. I guess it's the only 18+ place in Savannah? It slowly picks up, ok cool. We buy drinks. Within 20 minutes of purchasing my over-priced, not that strong drink, a flailing dancer smacks it out of my hand and then looks at me like I was in the wrong. Rude. My mood to drink is ruined, so I sober up and hang out and dance with my two female friends. I'm glad I sobered up. Every 5 minutes there would be drunk guys or underage guys coming up behind one of us in our trio to dance on us and/or try to hit on us. Guys - this is NOT how you pick up a lady, especially when none of us are responding to you and we move away from you. As my friends got a little more drunk, it got worse. I kept having to physically pull my friends away from the guys, as my friends didn't realize what was going on. The final straw was when two guys were putting their hands all over my friends and kept doing so after I pushed their hands away from my friends and told them to stop. We left, and probably won't be back. *I do not recommend this place to females who just want to dance. There are too many unsavory types here.* Now, for something that is something Elan can work on: the music. The DJ you had Saturday was a let down. There would be one or two awesome songs for 30-45 seconds, then a chill song with a strange transition. Why would you also stop the music and get on the mic to talk every 5-10 minutes? Both of these things constantly killed the dance vibe. EDM? Yeah there was some of that... for about 20 seconds of the 4 hours we were there. read more

Absolutely loved that doors opened at 9 for an artist I paid 30 dollars to see and he didn't go on till 12:45. If you want drink profits for 3 and a half hours of wedding reception music, katy perry, and a really s i c k dubstep remix of linkin park then just say so. Don't false advertise to customers about when someone's set is going to start. This grimy ass place is an abhorrent excuse for a "club". No amount of bottom shelf alcohol in the world could make this experience tolerable but at least I got to hear "no hands" by waka flaka 3 times. read more

Mentions EDM in description. Don't be fooled. No EDM in this club. We went on two separate ocasiones and it always sounds like an early 2000 hip hop club. Kept waiting and asking, never switched up. EDM is apparently not a thing in Savannah. Don't waste your time if that's what your in to. read more

Females ain't tryin to fuk. Not sure what dat be about....... I like the credit card charge up charge. Keeps the poor out

Horrible concert venue, bouncer tried to say my legal state ID wasnt me, and then another bouncer proceeded to grab girls by their hips and the back of their neck all along the dance floor. Ridiculous excuse for staff read more

Don't expect much. During the summer shots are like $2 which is good and Fridays are free for ladies over 21 but for a Friday night around 11 pm it was pretty dead. Plays typical club music don't bother requesting any songs. And if your under 21 and they catch you with a drink they will throw you out so beware. With it being a 18+ you'd think they'd be a little more lenient but completely understandable. read more

When visiting Savannah stopped in to Elan for some music to actually dance to. I am from Tampa/Orlando area so my perception of a club is no where near the experience we had at Elan. The music was out of date, the people were ratchet, and the drinks were alright. The bartender staff was friendly and it wasn't very busy. They charge a cover for I have no idea why, probably discouraged people away. A lot more dudes then women. Overall if you want a mediocre place to dance with creeps and ok drinks this is your place. Nothing special here. read more

Joke of a club. There were all of 5 people there last night and they were still trying to charge cover. Lousy staff (pretty sure the black bouncer is racist as hell...ironic I know), lame music, atmosphere completely lacking. Long story short don't waste your money here. read more

Our party rented out the whole club for a night and I would not recommend going here. The bouncers were very rude and were on a power trip when we were trying to get in. The bartender did not tell us about the credit card charge added to all drinks either, and I could barely drink what I ordered. It tasted awful and it seems like the bartenders were pretty inexperienced. All of the staff we interacted with were very rude and not helpful at all. I don't know what it is like on a regular night but it was not a fun atmosphere at all and other reviewers seem to have had a similar experience. read more

Rude, slow and drunk. I've been coming to Elan for a long time and always had a good time at all of the events. However, the African American male bartender was rude and snarky and a horrible start to my night. Asshole comments are never needed in the customer service industry. Rude from the time he finally made my drinks to time he did not give me my total and commented about me not having enough money. He avoided taking my order for so long I had to attach my order to my friends order. Went to the females bartenders for the remainder of my night the were way more respectful and a lot quicker as well. read more

Expensive. Once you leave you can't get back in which has caused a lot of problems with people getting separated from each other. A wrist band seems like an easy enough solution to me. read more

It's the best thing to happen to the music scene in Savannah. I can't believe half the artists they've pulled into this club. Definitely putting Savannah on the international map. Kudos guys. read more

Far too overpriced. Bouncers have a terrible attitude no matter how old you are. Even question real ID's with a horrible attitude. You'll go inside to find literally 5-10 people in there, it's always empty. Not worth your time. And do not go to any of their special events no matter what artist it is. My friend paid for VIP and she left with her wristband on and they gave her issues with getting back in even after she paid so much money for the ticket to see the artist. Absolutely awful place. Do not go. read more

I'm here enough to know that the black bartender has something against "certain customers". I avoid going to him because he has always been rude and refused to acknowledge me as a waiting customer. He will serve others before me then make rude and slick comments. If it weren't for certain events Elan puts on I would never come back. He doesn't belong in customer service. It's obvious who he favors smh. read more

Lame club. Bad DJ's. Costume contest for Halloween was a fucking joke. Savannah is also about six months to 10 years behind on music for a club. This isn't 2007. No one wants to hear "yeah" by usher anymore. read more

Honestly when I heard about his place I was excited. Then I got there and it was't too bad. We had the whole place rented out so I was expecting good things. Then I got a drink, and was amazed. The drinks were overpriced, and the bar tab we had purchased dissapeared in a suspiciously short amount of time. To boot, they kicked us out of the club two hours into our reservation, and we had reserved for 4 hours total. Half of our group was unable to get in in the first place, and the first thing they asked one of my friend's girlfriend was if she was part of the strippers they had ordered. Why they had strippers I don't know, seeing as though we had the whole thing rented for the next four hours. The night beforehand when it was open to the public, water cups were being handed out free of charge, but when our group got there they were handing out $3 waters from our tab to anyone and everyone walking by. The bouncers were dicks and the bartenders didn't really know how to mix their drinks. Overall highly dissatisfied and would discourage anyone from ever coming here read more
