The Loft

"Wonderful club. I have attended three events here, the most recent was a celebration for Terry Hunter. I had a terrific time. The music was terrific!!"

"Used to come here when it was The Apartment. The best of times. DJs now can’t read the “crowd” of 5 people. This ain’t your bedroom time, play music people wanna hear."

"It’s always a great time at The Loft!! Never a dull moment. The staff is awesome, the DJs are great and the dance floor is electric! Make sure to stop by in Lincoln Park"

"12/29/22 Thursday night 10pm initial entry Time of event 12/30/22 approx 12:45am Friday morning After patronizing the loft, I asked to step out to my car with my friend to get more cash. V5 greeter and loft staff inside said it was okay. The cash was to buy food at LP’s tap house. Both myself and my friend were fully sober. We were both hungry and wanted a meal before our hour drive. Upon returning to the establishment after retrieving money from my vehicle, we were told by the older caucasian bearded bouncer at the door that we would have to pay him $20 cash each in order to go to LPs to dine. He then started he would cut us a 50% off deal and only charge $10 each to enter the restaurant. It is to be noted that even if the establishment has a cover, it is collected by staff inside and not by the bouncers outside. Ever. At first I thought he was joking but he stated it was a new city rule. I informed him that this rule doesn’t actually exist. He then said it was a cpd rule in order to stop loitering. I asked him to identify himself since he was claiming to enforce a police order at which time he stated he was not going to. I called the desk Sgt. At 018th district to verify the bouncers claim. The sgt stated no such police order existed. I then flagged down a 018 district car as it their district and asked them about the situation. They started the bouncer was just trying to pocket our money and we shouldn’t pay him anything. The bouncer wearing the fake cpd looking security badge and the younger African American bouncer were both having a conversation with a couple girls a bit away from the door so I could not ask them to intervene. This action is unethical and illegal and may result in formal litigation it demonstrates fraud and theft through deceptive practice. This is disgusting and unethical behavior from someone placed there to protect patrons. Bottom line. This is illegal"

"It’s always a great time at the Loft! I brought a couple friends with last weekend, they had a dope DJ, great drinks, and a wonderful atmosphere with TVs, lights, and dance floor! Will be back again, and soon! You gotta check it out!"
