Waterworks Pub

Security was extremely rude and accused my friend who is under 21 of being plastered and initially refused to breathalyze her. She was completely sober, we all blew zero on the breathalyzer, and he still gave us a hard time, and then proceeded to hit on another one of our friends. This might have been just a one off experience but it definitely ruined the mood for my friend’s birthday.

Had a very poor experience last night (9/19/24) getting into this pub. Was singled out in my group by the short small bald bouncer for “having a fake id” when my ID is VERY real. I was ready to prove it in any way possible. He told me “this isn’t real” to the point where I was ready to call the cops to prove it was real especially if he took it. Was beyond rude and also REGARDLESS to doing this let me in (is that not a crime??) And quote goes “I’ll ruin your night another night”. I now feel as if when I come back this bouncer is going to be petty and hostile and it is beyond an embarrassment to your establishment to have him. I expressed to him my ID was real and he was disgustingly rude and was saying I was lying. Beyond embarrassing for this pub and ruined my entire night. I would not recommend to friends now (I did before!)

Great place but the security really needs to step it down a notch. They gave me a problem at the door and I had id and cover fee ready to go but said I was being too slow.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WATER WORKS. 2 floors , 2 bars, 2 DJ's & a patio upstairs so you don't even have to leave for a smoke. The food is ALWAYS good. The wings are my favorite. Music's on point, great crowd, energetic atmosphere. This is my GO TO spot whether it's a weekday or a weekend.

I was in the bathroom with my friend and 2 others. No one was in the stalls. A security guard walked in, drink in hand, smirk on face and said “hey ladies what’s the hold up? If you’re gonna make love do it on the dance floor .” I immediately walk out with my friend and shoot him a dirty look. That’s all. He walks to me, FURIOUS at the look I shot him and tells me if I have a problem to leave. I tell the lady who charges the fee at the desk, she was defensive at first but heard me out. Idk if anything has been done. I just want to make the public aware there are real creeps working there. Do not use the bathroom alone. Do not trust security.

Brandon is one of the best bartenders out there. He made us feel so included and played the music we liked. Love him and the vibe

GREAT DRINKS FRIENDLY STAFF GOOD ATMOSPHERE.

The bouncers defend homophobic people who openly make fun of others. Like most “gay” clubs, it doesn’t care who you are as long as you pay. They’ll kick out actual queer people for standing up for themselves before they ever speak against homophobia. This place is just like every other queer space that started to care more about profits than people.
