Good Food Bad Charges

by KKid at Citysearch

Went to HOB located in Pleasure Island, Downtown Disney - Orlando, FL> with my wife. Food & service was great. Charged my bill and left a cash gratuity. When I got my charge statement they added another 20% TIP on top of the charge. Called manager, he said it's routine because many people(tourists) don't leave tips. he will remove the excess charge. He also said he gets calls about this every day. I called corporate in CA. they were suprised and will investigate. CHECK YOUR CHARGE STATEMENT

I was worried!

by Kayleighnc at Citysearch

I went last night to The House of Blues to see Cinderella and I was a little hesitant because of the bad reviews but I gotta say it was awesome...the employees were fine with me...beer prices were what I would expect to pay in a strip bar but it is the show you are paying to see so with any show will be higher beer prices in any venue you go to. Bottom line...it was awesome and I will go back again. Sorry guys to the ones at the bottom who had a bad night. Cheers to House of Blues employees...you are awesome!

Perfect Concert Venue

by dianeb57 at Citysearch

If your favorite band happens to be playing here, consider yourself very lucky and get tickes quickly. It is very small for a concert venue so there is not a bad seat in the house an it is all general admission. Do get there very, however, because some seats are better than others, make sure you can get down below.

CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED!!!!!!

This place is a scam. Take it for what it is - all of those who rated this place anymore than a 1 star were lucky they weren't picked out to be scammed. I went there on Vacation - my mother has a timeshare - and we went out to Pleasure Island one night. I was having a good time and got set up. The security guards kept telling us we should go to House of Blues. We went; the manager ( didn't know at the time) was an ass. After paying to get in - he had us aggressively pushed out of there and then I got jumped by 4 UNDERCOVER police officers that never told me they were cops. I am a young woman in my 20's never been arrested and no criminal record. I was arrested for TRESPASSING (never went on the property again after being pushed out), RESISTING ARREST WITHOUT VIOLENCE! (never was told it was a police officer who was telling me to come to him when i screamed that this place was bogus) and DISORDERLY CONDUCT (their reason is that I was drunk. Was never given a breathilizer or alcohol tests and I remember everything!!) To make things worse, it just so happens the house of blues "LOST" the video tape of me getting pushed down by 4 "cops". I was covered with bruises and cuts!!! I have been victimized and it has been a nightmare ever since. I spent the night in jail where there phones wouldn't let me call out to call anyone, the police wouldn't tell my boyfriend where I was and warned him to get away of he would get arrested as well, I was searched head to toe, stripped down to nothing, wasn't told anything that was going to happen, and treated like crap. When my mother went to Pleasure Island to find out where I was the security officer stated that he ran my record and saw that I had no prior record. THIS IS A SCAM...BECAREFUL! ITS BEEN A NIGHTMARE - I'm out thousands of dollars, having a hard time getting a job because when my name is searched my mugshot is the first thing that comes up, and I have seriously been traumatized from it...it's too bad that Disney allows this to take place on their property.

I know this seems like there has got to be more to this story...but do some research, these charges happen all the time!!! BECAREFUL!!!

Over crowded and terrible security

by abramsboy at Citysearch

I saw CAKE tonight at HOB. It was incredibly overcrowded and extremely hot. The place has a dank appearance and feel, it's not classy like the hard rock at universal. It definitely needs a makeover to compliment the other shops at Disney.

The upside was the sound, it was awesome, however the security guards were wieners.

All in all I don't think I'll go back to HOB unless Bob Marley or The Beatles are playing, which is highly unlikely.
