This was place was THE place to be in 2002 – 2005. Girls outnumbered guys 5 to 1. This place was«hidden» off Mercer dryer street. Only those«in the know.» There were about 4 different themed rooms… red room, library, blue room, dance floor. DJ Ripley was spinning the shiz… he was an M&M wanna be, but we all loved him. Every night at midnight it became Club U-gropa. Girls were hot, thongs were very popular back then. Wish this club was still open. Oh, Club Uropa, how I miss thee.

The crowd was dancing which is a nice change from most clubs. Valet is the only parking available guess that’s the hidden cover charge. The option of two lounges is nice you can go old school chill or dance the night away. Patio is nice but full of smokers. We enjoyed the outing.

I came here for a friend’s company party on a Sunday night. This place is hidden somewhere in the highland village. Nice décor. it’s like Indian to modern trend when u walk around. It’s a maze in there. The dance floor area looks like a hole in the wall bar while the rest of the place looks chic. Not sure how it is on a average night. But once the dance floor gets cramp it really sucks ball. There’s a patio with lounge chairs. Bathroom plumbing sucks! Wouldn’t flush! The place feels like it needs major renovating. Too much going on.

Just pass this place and go to ROAK or Estate Wow this is the worst want to be upscale night club in the upper Kirby greater Houston area. The only reason we even went is to support a friends birthday who was already inside the place. Should of asked the valet to bring our car back right after the rude door man who has no life stated being a prick. Explains why all he will ever be is door guy. We walk in and the place is dead and its smells bad. It was midnight and there was no one on the dance floor really? They had more staff then patrons and the GM is a joke. No wonder he hires idiots with no customer service skills to greet guest? Is this really how you want people to be treated before they even walk into the club? The worst part was when we were all leaving the skinny idiot door person started again with his insults to 2 women at that before you knew it he swung at my sweet BF then there was 3 guys,(bouncers) against one guy. Really? You want to cause fight and not even have to courage to fight alone? Ok great. Someone held me, an employee while a female employee hit me for no reason!!! The bouncer then stole my new watch a Christmas gift. IFYOUWANTTOHAVE A BADTIMETHENGOAHEADANDGOTOUROPA. THEYPROMISETOTREATYOULIKESHIT!!!

This was one of the 1st places I landed when I moved to Houston in 2009. It was called something else back then. It’s fun enough, but in terms of floor design it is a tragic failure. You are always in someones way no matter where you stand, even when standing at the bar. The ceiling is so low it feels like it’s a drunk flirting with you. Bartender was a novice and had to ask for help mixing just about everything we ordered… and I ordered a Long Island. Simple enough one would think. Music and Crowd are what they are, and to be honest, being in my 40’s it would be pretty laughable for me to try and say it’s hip or not hip… Heck I’m glad both my hips still work just fine. Age jokes aside, I’ve been back a couple times with a group of friends and despite having the valet guy try to engage me is some MMA action at closing time… I’d say it’s a place you can go if you like to drink ANDDANCE. If you are just looking for drinks and music the city has a 1,000 other places that have ceilings taller than 8 feet and somewhere to stand that isn’t in someone else’s way every two seconds. VALET is the only way to go here, so just cough up the $ 10. You will NOT find self– parking here. Just don’t get into a pissing contest with them after a few drinks… They are FARTOOHOPPEDUPONENERGYDRINKS.

I’m not the clubbin type but will give this place a vanilla 3 stars. It wasn’t the classiest flashiest place I’ve seen but they had the obligatory bottle service, showy presentations through the crowd when people ordered expensive stuff, loud techno music, and flashy guys and gals showing off their shiny threads. Checks off all the necessary boxes for a successful club outing. When you order pricey champagne and other bottles, they bring it to you with a huge sparkler showering sparks off the top of it so everyone can see how cool you are. My problem with that is how low the ceilings are, how high the sparks fly, and how few the fire exits are. Something to think about…

I’m sorry but the one and only reason to go to this place is the Eminem wanna-be DJ. It’s GLORIOUS. It’s some good entertainment once or twice, then it’s pretty much done. I used to live in the village, not too far from this place, so anytime it got to be around 12:30 and we didn’t have anything else going on, we’d head over here for the Crazy Show. But I’ve probably only been here 2 or 3 times. It’s an OK place to dance, but I’d recommend bringing some(big) guys with you, because otherwise you will for sure get groped by some shady characters. All in all, not an upscale place, but it’s OK if you A) convince the door guy to let you in for free, B) you’re already drunk(this is key) and C) in the mood to try out some of your craziest dance moves out on the ultra-dark dance floor. Happy grinding!

Uropa… If you do not know where it is at I sure as hell could not tell you. What I can tell you is it is «cheesy fun»… you know that club that you really never advertise that you frequent, but some time go to when all else fails in your nocturnal plans. Well this is the spot… It is a «house party» feel, and amazingly enough has been around for the better part of under a decade. Everyone is having a great time, singing along with the crazy DJ(that lip syncs to every tune) and the anticipation of the opportunity to «gropa»(whether there or later). What can I say… It is a guilty pleasure of mine. Put it on a cracker I think it is a blast!

I made a freakin’ Unilocal account just so I could sign on and tell you how much this place blows. The space itself is nice; 5 rooms big place. By far the most offensive thing about this place is the fucking DJ. His name may be DJ Darrell but we should just call him a dried up old ass version of Eminem. If you look at this DJ booth he has books about Eminem and also pictures of him its like a shrine. But not to ignore the fact that he also has pictures of himself posted in his DJ booth and also a stack of his own pictures ready to be autographed and handed out to the crowd. Like I want that shit; give me a break. When he gets the chance to rock it out with Eminem himself(I mean play one of his tracks) the DJ turns off all the lights and turns on the one light above him and starts lip syncing to the song. You look around the place and all the people there that aren’t drunk off their ass shake their heads in shame or pity for this guy. To top it all off he turns around and starts banging on this window in his booth and still ip syncing so other people can see him; I thought standing behind him would negate the fact that I had to watch this horrible show. If Uropa decided to fire this guy and get a credible DJ or just throw my iPOD up there it would totally be a 5 star place.

This is like my 5th time to this place and each time it gets lamer and lamer. This used to be the hot spot«back in the day» before everything moved to midtown. There are still some hangers on here apparently. The guy that does the eminem show is getting too old for that maybe he needs to get a day job. The club is okay nice. I wouldn’t call it trendy or upscale. It looks like it needs a little renovation. I do like the library room that looks out to the dancefloor. It’s a good place to chill. Oh and the tip of the day is if you come before 10pm you get to avoid the $ 10 cover charge which is good because I don’t think its worth $ 10.

Place used to be a nice 3 years ago. I would not call it trendy, upscale like another rater as they have not done any upkeep in 3 years. I always have liked the intertwining rooms allowing you to get away if needed or hide out. I really don’t mind paying a 10 $ cover charge if the music is great; but the DJ is kinda lame. Sounds like he is just stringing together songs on his ipod w/no original mixes. Mix of rap/techno. The bartenders are good and clientle is usually dressed well. I would go there if I were in the area and met some people up there, because of the rooms it allows for conversation. Smoking is outside now on the patio.

If you’re looking for a trendy, upscale, pretty club, this here place is for you! The line was unbelievably long(we got there late) but it was worth it. Some people were turned away because of dress code, so dress to impress, most girls were in dresses, HIGH heels, and guys in jackets. The club inside was beautiful too– separate rooms, like the library(aka make out room), the Red room, and of course the dance floor was jamming. They play house, dj and some techno. Verrry nice!
