Really nice folks, I went there today danced for a bit and had a few drinks. Ended up hurting my ankle, security helped me up in like 30secs, gave me a cold water bottle to put on my ankle and helped me elevate it. But overall the Drinks were good and everything was great. The only complaint I could possibly have was that the tv menu for the kitchen was turned off but after I asked the handed me a laminated menu and had my food out in ten minutes.

Upon arrival security made me feel extremely comfortable and safe. I noticed the people in front of me were giving security hard time just for doing their job to make sure no one does anything stupid. Then the front door staff, bartenders, and cooks were very nice.

OMG this was my first time here and I had so much fun! It was hype, we were there from 11:30-1:30 basically. Everyone was so nonjudgmental and freely dancing. I rarely go out, so tonight felt good. Tommy and the other bartender (i didn’t get his name ☹️) but they were so kind and nice. Definitely give them tips, they deserve it. Will def come back! (Nice security guards too)

My friend and I stumbled upon The Wave, not knowing it was a LGBT bar. We were trying to go to a hookah bar that was near but they were closed. So I seen a line at this night club and I was greeted with SO MUCH love from the people in line. With that I was so happy we found a place to kick it with initial friendly vibes. I enjoyed the music, I loved that they played pop, some 2000s music, a little techno, and even heard a Latin song! The drinks our were STRONG, presentation was cute, and the people that served them was SUPER friendly to me. They deeply thanked me and it was such a sweet encounter. Cover charge was $20, they have a INSIDE smokers section, couple of dance floors, good music. Despite the negative reviews, I gave my HONEST review! I MUST say; It is disheartening to see how unprofessional the responses are from the owner. However, we had a great night. Thank you!

Had a fantastic time here for a recent community event. I had the time of my life! This venue has a lot of smart enhancements. Spacious bathrooms, large dance floor, plenty of bars and sexy bartenders, and a fantastic patio area! I even saw pool tables! Music was loud, the crowd was energized, and I felt safe enough to dance the night away among the other members of my community. I'm grateful for this space. Huge improvements since I was in college. Next time someone asks you to go to The Wave, say yes. You won't regret it. (Not a lot of pics from me on this because I was too busy having fun.)
