I went to Shine Bar for the first time in a few months yesterday (December 12, 2017). The bartenders were amazing and it was a fun/great experience... until the end of night. There is a bar right next to Shine and they are connected by a door. Every time in the past I have been, I was directed to the bathroom in the other bar. At about 1:45 a.m. (they close at 2:00 a.m.) I went to the bathroom through the doors that were open. I did not have my phone or purse with me because I left it at the table with my friends. When I came out of the bathroom, less than 5 minutes later, the doors that connected the bars were shut, but it was still partially open. So I opened it, and go back towards my friends. But I closed the door behind me. There was no sign posted anywhere saying that I could not go through that door. A security guard grabs me, as I'm already halfway back to my friends, and starts yelling at me and saying I can't go that way. I was trying to explain to him that I had gone to the bathroom and that my friends were just a few feet away. As I was trying to explain that, he continues to put his hands on me and PUSHES me through the other door.
I will not be back after being assaulted by one of their security guards., Outstanding. Best nightclub I've been to in years and I've been to many of them throughout the Florida area. Best thing about this nightclub is it's free to get in don't have to worry about paying for cover.
The place is packed with a mature crowd it's not one-sided with millennials at the club. It's mix with a wide diversity of people, the music is funky and soulful, the drinks are reasonable not too pricey and the best thing about it is that there other bars nearby you can walk across the street and go to without worrying about cover.
I found the crowd to be friendly and approachable which is a plus when you go to any nightclub. People don't like to dance in nightclubs anymore but not at this place. I actually saw people being social and interactive with other people not seeing people constantly on their phones.
I would recommend this as the spot to go to during the weekends when you're trying to hook up and meet people. This is probably the best nightclub currently in the State of Florida hands down in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this nightclub not just to locals but people coming from out of state looking to have a good time., A lot going on in here. Im not a fan because this place gets to packed. The bar staff cant take care of everyone effectively(unless you are throwing money at them for tips) The prices are not too bad but for what it is just isnt worth it to me., Fun environment and good bar. The bartender Chris is the best and this bar is lucky to have someone like him. He made our experience awesome!, decent drinks on the pricey side. wall street open events are nice they give you options if you dont like the music/vibe
