The ambiance and decor of the Crocker Club are very nice. The old bank vault gives it a nice touch. Although it seemed like a really slow night, the scene was still pretty cool. My gripes come from the service since it absolutely sucked! Our server Estella is one of those waitresses that is a drink pusher. We asked her about the red wines, of which there were only 4 to select from. Claiming to be a connoisseur Estella kept pushing the most expensive one while affirming our preferences for a rounded mellow wine with a clean finish. Of course, we ended up with quite the opposite in a hard tannic wine. Near the end of the night, we had asked for waters which took over 30 minutes to get delivered after asking 3 separate time. Not exactly responsible club etiquette. To top it all off after waiting another 40 minutes for the bill, Estella tried to stick us with another parties bill on top of our own. Go to the Crocker Club for a good time and the ambiance, but avoid the wine and definitely DEFINITELY don't get Estella as your server.

I went to the Crocker Club on a Friday night with some friends and had a great time. This bar has a very unique decor, it used to be an old bank so it has an interesting feel to it. The drinks were reasonably priced and the bartenders were very attentive. If you are looking for a place to dance this is definitely not the place, but if you want to catch up with friends over drinks or take your date to a nice intimate place, then this is the spot.

I went to The Crocker Club on friday night and I absolutley loved it! This is the coolest new bar I've been to in a long time. It's in the basement of an old bank vault and the space is beautiful. If you are going out in downtown, i definitely recommend stopping by The Crocker Club.

If you are hosting a private party, special event or just want to chill on a Saturday for free and no "list" then, The Crocker Club is worth checking out. It's rare that I would consider giving an establishment with a line 4 stars, however The Crocker Club is the exception. I have worked with dozens of club owners and managers, this was the first time where the team as on point and on hand. They made sure everything ran perfect for the event we hosted. Yes, there was a line, but the line was actually due to capacity, not just some obnoxious doorman overdoing his job. I don't think they expected the large crowd, but they were accommodating and that is what real service is about. If you are downtown stop by for Happy Hour, say hey to the doorman, ask for Mark to fix your drink and introduce yourself to Giovanni, the cutie manager.

Crocker Club is absolutely horrible. Please avoid this place. I have never been treated so rudely at the door. Their dress code is just stupid, the drinks are overpriced and the venue is cold. The doormen have no respect for people and are so obnoxious they respond to you by name after they read your ID, which would be nice if they weren't insulting you to your face. My friends and I make enough money to buy their overpriced drinks and deal with their bad service, but the insults at the door are too much. I understand this is the owner's first stand alone venture after years of running Hollywood bars. Apparently nobody gave him the message that Downtown is a completely different crowd than Hollywood. Never go to the Crocker Club, ever.
