Sax Restaurant & Lounge

The SAX Dinner Theater and Lounge is a beautiful space, with ornate chandeliers and plenty of seating both on the main floor and upstairs.I came here for a get-together, and it was a great time - the staff were very friendly and personable, and the bites that we had were delicious (ie, beef teriyaki skewers, grilled cheese & tomato soup in a cup, fried mac & cheese balls, charcuterie, etc.)!Cocktails were strong and prepared well, and the live entertainment (aerial dancer, DJ, and a live band) were all great.Definitely a great venue for holidays, get-togethers, and celebrations!Metered street and garage parking available.+tasty bites+friendly service+metered street and garage parking available

Came here for a night out to hear hip hop and chill with friends. The music was pretty good and we had a nice time out dancing. Adult beverages were over-priced drinks served by bartenders wearing skimpy clothes that were not experienced in their drink making skills. Upstairs area was cool. Nice view of the entire layout. The decor reminds me of Milan Rouge, that old classic, romantic sort of style. I would only go back of my friends insisted.

Go Wednesday night for the female body show. Bring some ones. It can get lit real fast and can bring a good vibe to your midweek.

Well this was definitely a great time. The ambiance had the noir vibe. Very chic. I was in attendance for the SIR show. Chileeeeeeee you are not ready or maybe I wasn't ready. Lol. It is a great time. The brunch is phenomenal, the mimosas are bottomless and the staff for this event is quite entertaining. You will not be disappointed. Take your girls, grab some and head on out the door. No photos for this review. What happens at Sax stays there.

Sunday Brunch Recap: Men. Burlesque. Men. Hel-lo!I can't post most of my pics, videos, and commentary, but...please believe a good time was had by ALL. The fellas of 'SIR' -- the all male burlesque review -- really did their thing.Entertainment = GreatFood = DecentBooze = YumVibe = On pointGood for groups. Good for those who wanna gawk at men in their skivvies. This spot is perfect for birthday, bachelorette/bachelor, divorce, or "just because" celebrations.__I eat. @f.huxI thrift. @dcthriftish

I was here for a DJ set last Saturday, so this place is most definitely not permanently closed unless I was having a fever dream and that DJ set never really happened lol....Anyway this is a beautiful venue. It's a small venue, but the good news is there's two floors. The bartenders are great - friendly, attentive, efficient. Drink prices are standard; I paid $17 for a bottle of Bud Light and a small bottle of Evian, but that $17 included the restaurant-imposed gratuity (however - always tip extra!!! The staff works hard and deals with LARGE crowds while staying pleasant!!!).My problems with this place are that there is not much seating unless you want to pay for a table (then again I'm old and haven't been to a nightclub since Nation in the early 2000s lol so the lack of seating is probably standard), the carpet or flooring right under the DJ booth on the first floor was STICK.Y. Omg it was like glue. And my last problem is that it's a small venue - but they can't help that. Somehow I ended up literally right outside of the DJ "booth" the whole night, and was within 5-10 feet of my favorite EDM duo (the Knocks) the whole time.For parking - I was easily able to find street parking a block away for the 11p set. I was going to spend $13 trying to park in a garage, but I decided to risk it and I'm glad I did. During the DJ set they had a couple fire dancers in the glass right above the front bar, so that was cool.

I've been here twice. The food at dinner is much better than brunch. The brunch is more for the entertainment than food. Tickets for SIR Sunday's range from $65-125 depending on section, then once you arrive all extra drinks (not mimosas), shots, tip, etc. is all cash. This isn't a big deal but the closest ATM is in the hotel about s block away. Plan accordingly and make sure everyone in your group knows to bring cash.

Ohhh Sax...the food is alright but I came for the M&Ms: Men and Mimosas! The male burlesque show is FANTASTIC (this was before the pandemic). My girls and I thought it was well worth the money. I had the salmon and it worked but the shrimp and grits were a miss! I love the touchscreen photo booth in the lobby. It's a nice touch. In my most recent experience, it was pouring the staff was pushing everyone outside to prepare for another event. A suggestion to stand under the tents outside would have been nice. There's limited metered parking outside, but the City Center garage is adjacent from Sax.

the drinks are poured heavy here, the entertainment is unreal (firebreathers, bellydancers, acrobats), and the decor is sooo cute! i came for a party and it did not disappoint. only thing that sucks is i couldn't get hookah because you need to get a table for that.

I had a great experience at SAX this past weekend celebrating a girlfriend's birthday. We purchased the package that gave our friend a lap dance, extra attentive table service, as well as a lap dance during the reception! Safe to say that everything went perfectly, shout out to each of the bus boys (especially you, Adrian!!), the strippers (Byron and Bryant!) and our sexy server Kenny!!!!!!!!!! The men danced extremely well and the brunch was beautifully organized around the dining experience. HOWEVER, I was highly disappointed with the music that accompanied the performance of dancer Tom. This lounge attracts many different kinds of people, of varying sexualities. It was discouraging to see their gay performer, Tom, dance to Imagine Dragons. Not sexy at all to the women or men in the audience, I can PROMISE you that. I wouldn't be able to collect a group of people that would be turned on by music that is frequently overplayed in a Kohl's. I need the manager to step it up when it comes to Tom and any other gay performers who'd like to dance to something else. As a straight woman, I would have preferred and enjoyed cheering for Tom as he danced to Britney Spears or something else more fitting to his style of art performance, I'm sure the gays would side with me on that as well. Disgruntling and discouraging to say the least.
