a crowd of people at a nightclub

Pure is the biggest dance/night club in Corpus Christi. This is not Austin, this is not Houston, and this is not any other city. It is Corpus Christi. You simply cannot compare cities with mass populations and diversities to a city that is not as big nor diverse. Pure plays Latino music such as meringue and bachata etc. on Thursdays. On Friday at Pure they play Top 40 music AND hip hop. And no, not every song they play is on the radio station. On Saturdays at Pure they play a mixture of hip hop, top 40, some late 2000s and Latino music. College night is on Friday's and Saturday's at Pure.The reason why people think they're being "discriminated" against is because Pure has a dress code unlike any other club or bar in Corpus Christi. The dress code is set in order to prevent crime from occurring such as gang related crime, stabbings, or shootings. No baggy pants are allowed. No baggy shirts are allowed. No Jordan shoes either, along with solid colored t-shirts because usually gangs are affiliated with solid colored shirts such as red or black. The baggy clothes are prohibited in case someone is trying to hide a gun or knife. No tattoos on the face or the neck are allowed either because again, usually tattoos on these areas are gang related. It is a nice club but usually sports attire is not allowed because people are encouraged to dress up and look nice. Club Rio brings different Tejano singers/groups every single Thursday. On Friday and Saturdays at Rio they play Tejano music and Country music.

I'm not from a larger city, and this club along with another one are the only ones I've ever been to.This one is pretty decent. I've never witnessed discrimination or anything like these other reviews.They take underage drinking seriously, which I appreciate and respect. Cops float in and out throughout the night.Witnessed a fight once, didn't get too out of hand cause the bouncers shut it down really quick.IF you can legally drink, they have $2 shots and other happy hour deals.You have to go during the sweet spot which is like 11 pm - 1 am on Saturday. People who paid to get in will be more likely to dance. Fridays when ladies are free it's just creepy guys watching girls dance. They play hispanic music as well, and it's nice to dance bachata with your date/boyfriend/friend etc cause there are other couples doing so as well.It's not bad.

Lots of college students come here, and in my experience it can get pretty live (busy). As a college student from Austin, Pure in comparison to 6th street is a joke. Pure is actually very lame. I was white and not discriminated against at all, so I guess (according to these other reviews) they only discriminate against black people. That rubs me wrong and makes Pure even more lame. Drinks were cheap, I should say that.

Pure is definitely blatantly racist af they give my husband who's a veteran btw a hard time every single time. So I literally watched the bouncer and owner let in not 1 but three different people with solid black T-shirt's on and the moment they see us they're pulling out flashlights looking us up and down. Then tells my husband they don't allow solid black T-shirt's. After I confronted them about the other people he let in with the same exact thing on they just basically let us in because they knew they were wrong . We just moved here from Wisconsin and I've never experienced anything like this before. If I could give it no stars I definitely would. Do not go here!!!

Club blows. Legit nothing going on here. No dancing, bouncer was rather rude to me. Bunch of dudes looking for girls. Place just blows. So dead. Maybe a bad night, but man this is pretty embarrassing.

The first time I went here there were no cover and it's a hit or miss on whether it's popping or not. The second time I went with another group and we paid about $10/person and the club was dead. We went in for a second and decided to leave because the club was dead, but one of the guys (manager or owner, I forget) said to stay because it will get busy soon because it was almost 11p. But the club remained slow and we wanted a refund, since the guy convinced us to stay. But they refused because of their policy. However, he offered us a drink, so he was being as fair as he could be.

This was legit the worst bar I have ever been to. I am a 23 year old female and they were pushing me and were very aggressive towards me and my other friends. The owner Eli basically kicked me on the way out of the bar instead of figuring out the situation. Honestly this bar should be shut down. No woman should go there

What good is it if they don't let u in. there either bias or if they seem to be mad that day the wont let u in cause of a tattoo or attire. But on a good day u might get in. Not worth the drive for a 50/50 chance of not going in. Ask the rap artist who but didnt let in sad so sad.

ITS LITI've gone 3 times within the past year since I live in San Antonio. It's always fun, cheap drinks, and good music. If you say it's boring then you're just a boring person. My favorite club in CC.

The DJ here literally pushed my friend off the upper level balcony. She was not aggressive, impolite, or inebriated. This is outrageous. 0 stars if I could.
