![]() Ill never return and all I can say to people in the Houston area looking for a good club to go to, stay away from this place - dont waste your time. Ive been to a large number of clubs and bars in my day and this place was just awful. Overly pretentious, trying to hard, and just straight up WEIRD. The place on the inside, the music, the atmosphere reminded me of a bad 90s club scene in a raunchy movie. Oh, and mind you were talking about less than an hour before the bar closes, too. ![]() Talk about screwing over your customers before they even walk through the door. First off, they have the nerve to charge their patrons $20 for valet parking, when people can easily go park on the street (North Blvd. I really wish I could give this place ZERO stars because thats what it deserves. I like your establishments and would like to keep bringing my business here with all of my friends. Please take my review into consideration. The music, drinks, interior, and customer service indoors is nice however, the attitude at the door and the diversity levels have to improve. It is unacceptable for such a trendy and popular establishment to treat the target clientele of successful young professionals disrespectfully based on race or sex. He was prohibited to get in by the head bouncer, who was very unprofessional with my friend and was extremely rude to her while she was trying to explain to him that the man at the door was part of the birthday party. He is a very well educated, successful, presentable African-american male who was willing to spend a considerable amount of money at Lumen tonight in celebration of my birthday. All was well, until one of our friends, who was running late, was stopped at the door and prohibited to enter the establishment. Tonight we came in for my birthday party with a group of friends and had a table reserved. I personally will discourage anyone to go there as I dont support establishments that operate in that manner. If anyone was overweight or just not "pretty", they would be denied entrance. I have to say, I never play the race card but they were racist, classist and overall degrading. To make the story short, only half our our group got in so we could not party with all our friends even though we spent hundreds of dollars there for bottles and drinks. He continued to tell us that we could cancel our table and leave if we didnt like it. ![]() The sorry excuse of a bouncer told us that the club was full and no one could come in but yet he would continue to let people arriving in luxury vehicles in. We arrived and the table was ready so we went inside but then our friends started to arrive well dressed but were denied entrance even though they were part of our group. The club itself is very small but well decorated and upscale but thats about all the positives about this place. So we reserved a table / section for my girlfriends birthday and ordered 3 bottles and several a la carte drinks. There was also a good ratio of men & women. It was a professional, grown & sexy kind of crowd. One thing that I did like about Lumen is the atmosphere. The average price is about $15 even for simple things like a tequila sunrise. Lumen also had free before 11 if you RSVP on eventbrite. Theres an adjacent lounge but it costs $40 to get in and $20 to get into Lumen only. The DJ mentioned hookah but I never saw anyone smoking hookah and I also dont know where they would have sat the hookahs - there was literally only 2 tables inside plus a few low tables by the couches. *side eye* It looked like there was a small patio but I didnt go outside because it was raining. It got so crowded that management came and made us get up from our table and chairs to make more room. There are 2 tables with chairs near the bar but its so close to the bar that it gets really tight and hard to walk around when the place gets busy. There are only like 3 couches which are reserved for people that pay for it. However, the layout of the "lounge" could be different. Rogers playing great music and knowing how to keep the crowd going. ![]() Went to Lumen with a couple people visiting from LA on a Saturday night.
