Since I have been in North Carolina I have only stepped into one nightclub prior to this one and I…read moremust say I was skeptical. Only because I am used to an overindulgence in party scenes. I met with the owner upon a business proposal to work with the nightclub in promotions for my day job. He was very nice and inviting on the ideas we had for him, in which he accepted. (Woo!) Because I am hispanic and this is a spanish club I felt comfortable in the scene and was excited to see what this place was about. It is quite big for what I expected from the outside and it got filled rather quickly after a certain time which impressed me considering how big it was. What didn't play in favor is you had to either carry cash or go to the ATM while your drink began to water down. (should've ordered my whiskey neat) The place is going to have small changes which will probably give them a little more rank. They have big performances and the radio stations broadcasting which gains a few brownie points for me. Easy going place with intentions of a good time. They play a little bit of everything but mostly mexican bachata?

Dim, flickering neon lights cast jagged shadows across the crowded room, glinting off sticky glassware and half-finished drinks. This narrow bars air is thick with sweat, spilled beer, and the bite of cheap liquor, churning into a humid haze that clings to skin and clothing. Bodies press together--dancing, swaying, colliding--feeding the bar's restless energy. Bartenders move like frantic cogs behind the bar, shouting orders and slinging bottles with practiced aggression. Every corner hums with disorder and with all that booze they can't even make an old fashioned. But then again I am the kind of person who treats dance clubs like an over-caffeinated blender, would rather be nursing a good drink somewhere my shoes don't stick to the floor and conversation doesn't require a megaphone. Cheers!

So much fun at Zenith last night. This place used to be Coglin's and I was disappointed when it…read moreclosed. Glad to see a similar establishment opening here. Reminds me of the bars/clubs we frequented in the 90s -- dark with great music and drinks heavy on the liquor. Bartender was friendly and I enjoyed my Blue's Clues and Monster Mash. They were a little sweet but equally strong. They had an impressive beer list as well. I just wish the place was a little bigger with more seating but maybe they're just trying to get everybody on the dance floor! Look forward to going back.

It has a beautiful patio with a cute tiki style bar. This is one of the largest bars I've seen in Raleigh. I've attended drag shows in New York City but the show here was way more entertaining. I really enjoyed the celebrity impersonations. Especially the Rihanna/Beyonce look alike lol. They have a huge dance floor, store inside that sells underwear and the large patio. Even if you aren't a member of the LGBTQ community, this is such a fun place to visit. Check out a show or stop in for a few drinks at one of the bars.

Maybe a list of a dozen singers ahead or so... HOWEVER.... Long story short, never happened. After over two and a half hours of waiting to be called up, we saw obvious friends of the KJ getting to sing three songs apiece, as well as join in a couple of times with other people who got the same privilege. Five songs for them, none for the seven in our group. KJ even said "Sometimes we just don't have enough time." Yeah. Awesome-not-awesome. Glad we all tipped you 3-5 dollars in advance to not breathe once into the microphone while he just shrugged his shoulders. Glad your friends got to have a good time while other paying customers got crapped on. Glad to not have your business again. Glad to hope this post doesn't get deleted by the owner/management for making a group of service industry folk feel entirely dismissed.

The lights are amazing, the music incredible, bartenders are super friendly and their drinks are yummy. I went there on Fridays mostly! It was for an LGBTQ night, and they had a drag show going on. I liked the people, it's clean, nice atmosphere and performers. Music was a mix of techno/hip hop/ 2023 hits/ Latin... I liked how they mixed the music. And by LGBTQ, I mean that it was super welcoming and friendly regardless of who you are or what you do. I will definitely be going back. They told me that they just started to organize these type of themed events, and I encourage everyone to go and support local businesses. I am so excited for their other events! I talked to their promoter and he told me there will be a girls night out theme, and a white party soon.

I enjoy Ari as an artist and this show was everything. I also loved seeing Lekan another great artist. The vibe felt grown! Everyone here was polite. I felt the love. This show was a 4* minus the ridiculous lines in towards the back of the building, Jupiter room is a nice to have with admissions. I did enjoy a no wait bar and nice cool space to relax. This venue is not a fav at all. This venue needs to do better with crowd control and entrance logistics. There was a crazy line. I may have arrived too early. The Ritz should post the VIP seating chart on ticket master and stop trying to overcharge excessive amounts for those seats because it's not worth it. The process to purchase a seat is traumatizing. The long wait in line inside (after waiting outside) and then to get up there and learn that it could be well over $250 per person on top of the fees you've already paid for general admission. The drinks are way too sugary. Do better Ritz!

I was ecstatic when I learned he would finally visit the US for a tour and Raleigh was a stop. The staff did an amazing job controlling the crowds, providing hospitality, and safety. I parked in General Admission parking where I prepaid $14.00, it's the very last lot on your right. Entering was easy, getting out was a nightmare. Staff is needed following the event to direct the cars out of the spaces. There are other options for parking that will get you closer to the venue for $20+. We stood in line for about 45 minutes prior to entry. The staff managed the check in process very well. Everyone was friendly and hospitable. We were offered filtered water from the cooler jug where we stood for the show facing the front stage by the speakers & entrance to the back stage. Closest to bar and the exit. Cocktails were served in a cocktail shaker were sold for $22. We had an excellent view of the show. There is upper balcony seating for an additional Upgrade price, if you do not want to stand or be in the midst of the action. The Jupiter Lounge provides an elevated experience prior to show. Allowing you to unwind and have a cocktail. The temperature in the building was set to Alaska. Bring a light jacket and a small clear purse. I really enjoyed this show. The lighting and sound were terrific ! Memories were made. Thank you to the staff.
