Neon Cactus

A popular place to go around campus. They have a piano bar, dance floor, and a smoking bar area. Drinks were okay. They apparently don't have cups until late- 3 bar tenders told us "they're by the merch area" but then the area was always closed, along with the food confession area. Was not as busy as it used to be. Typical college hangout place with those typical issues. New piano man and new owners since COVID.

Enjoyed visiting the piano bar for a bday celebration. Got to pay to see the bday boy up on stage dancing to happy birthday! There is a cover fee btw.

I had a great time when I visited with my family. Victoria (the bartender) took care of us and we had outstanding service with amazing drinks. I’m very grateful we decided to check out this new spot.

I had so much fun here on my 21st! I got a free tshirt for celebrating there! The drinks were really good but the music was even better! Definitely a great place to dance 🙂

We enjoyed our time at the Bar area and Victoria our bartender was really nice and made excellent drinks, Highly recommend if you are in Allen or Collin County Area.

I haven’t gone here in a few months because I frankly don’t see myself coming back here again after seeing repeated problems with Neon Cactus. Firstly, getting into the building. There’s long lines, it’s popular. I normally wouldn’t complain about this had it made up for it with good service or literally anything else. Some of the lines I’ve had to wait were atrocious, length-wise. And then when I get into the building, there were a couple of times I’ve had to deal with rude bouncers. I vividly remember one of them accusing of me of using a fake ID and he didn’t even bother to scan it. I politely told him it was real, and that the owner could come over and double check. But nope, bouncer had to be a jerk about it and only let me in after my friend yelled at him to get a manager. Secondly are prices. This place is just too expensive. Between the necessary cash needed for cover (though I guess they recently changed this and allowed you to pay digitally, but it’s higher than what it used to be) and the overpriced drinks, it just isn’t worth it. I mean seriously, I buy a cactus cup and get charged $13 for a mixed drink? Ridiculous. Thirdly is the QUALITY of said drinks. After getting tired of spending so much on mixed drinks one night, I decided to buy a cheaper beer instead. Michelob Ultra, a favorite of mine. Well, somebody wasn’t cleaning the taps I suppose, because this was DISGUSTING. Moldy, yeasty taste. Like the lines hadn’t been cleaned at all. Also, their overpriced mixed drinks don’t have as much alcohol as other bars on campus. Fourth is the rest. The music is okay. I like some of their live shows. Piano man Bruce was awesome and totally made up for everything else. But now he’s gone. However, now it seems the DJs aren’t as great (charging people for songs requests? Really???). There’s plenty of good bars near campus, and even better ones across the bridge in Lafayette. I never go here because it’s just not worth it anymore.

With limited bar options in West Lafayette, this is my regular spot. I love the dance floor (new DJ plays good music), fun piano bar, and the drinks aren’t that pricey. Great Purdue bar, with more room to dance and hang out than Brothers or Harry’s during peak house. Really enjoying the Thursdays Just Dance too! The cover is definitely worth it compared to the other bar options.

Nice place in Purdue college area I mean this place is huge four bars inside huge dance floor and inside smoking room in the back if you want to get to party on this is the spot I had a great time..... FYI is Young croud ❤️
