Total Rip off's WORST CLUB!!!. I attempted to celebrate my birthday on Saturday April 30th 2011, under the impression that "me and 51 of my friends could get in free" when I got to the door not only were my friends not allowed in for free but additionally all of our female party guests had to pay due to it being "The last saturday of the month." Still, we opted to go in, however when inquiring about the possibility of returning to our car in order to stow our jackets we were told we would be unable to get back in without paying full cover due to your no re-entry policy. This was fine, but when we inquired further as to the reasoning behind this we were abruptly told by the person scanning the ID's to "Go F**k Off", & "Just Leave" We Left peacefully & quickly. We were only there less than twenty minutes before being thrown out with no justifiable cause. It seems to me to be an amazing business model to be able to charge people $10 a head per 20 minutes of sitting around and then treat them like crap with no possible recourse. I will be filing this complaint with the local chapter of the better business bureau, and request we be refunded our money. In addition, while I'm not sure of the individuals name, the person scanning ID's and charging for entry to your venue at Nine pm Saturday April 30th 2011 privilege to be employed at your establishment should be reviewed.

worst club EVER. Extremely unprofessional staff. They were blatantly rude and definitely NOT customer service oriented. When asked about their "policy" of no re-entry, meaning they wouldn't allow you back inside the club -- even after stamping your hand -- if you ventured outside, no matter for how short of a time, they said to me AND I QUOTE " Get the f**k out of here, just get the f**k out of here." I originally asked to speak with a manager, upon requesting that I was asked what for, I said I wanted to address some issues and was asked what about, and I said I didn't understand why they had a no re-entry policy, and that i didn't like that it wasn't posted anywhere except for when you have already paid and come inside. At this point I was told that it is utah law to not allow re-entry, I knew this to be false seeing as how I have gone to many other establishments that allow it, and they switched to saying it was their policy. Immediately after that, the person who was accepting money the evening of April 29th 2011 told me to "get the f**k out," at which point no other employee said anything and I left. Also, upon arrival, I had seen several advertisements, especially on their own web page that said that ladies get in for free before ten pm, and the person accepting money just said that it's a "special events night," and I guess I'm supposed to assume that means that ladies are free except these nights, but when I went inside there were several ads around the place that said special events nights, ladies free until 10 pm. Total rip-off, especially if i'm prisoner after paying, and then being told by staff members to "f**k off." Totally ridiculous. AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT AT ALL COSTS, YOU WILL REGRET ENTERING.

THE BEST CLUB EVER!!!!. Area 51 is the best most amazing club ever! I love going there because I feel like anyone and everyone is welcome! I'm not goth or punk myself but I love that there are all kinds of people there. I think the staff is really really awesome I've never had a problem with anyone there. A lot of people don't like it because it is a 18+ club but I don't think thats such a bad thing because if you don't want to hang around the teens you can just go down stairs. The best part is nobody judges anyone! Everyone is just there to have a good time!

Awesome club!. Im a big fan of trance, techno, house and straight up just having a good time and when we made our way to area 51 we had all of those things!!! we walked in on a friday night and it was pretty packed!! lights flashing!! fog machines going!! and everyone dancing and having a good time. im not a fan of the downstairs just cause its not my type of music but friday nights upstairs are off the hook. in the 21 and up section the bartenders where all really nice and even got me hooked on alot of there amazing made up drinks. the bathrooms could use some work but i mean come on now, we dont go to clubs for the bathroom, we go to have a good time, the DJs played alot of my favorite music and they even played some music i requested!! i really love this club on thursday nights (80s music) and espcially friday nights (techno,trance,house ect!! i will continue to go on fridays and i will continue telling people how much fun it is and bring them along!!
