Crocodiles Nightclub, Modesto CA

One of the Security guards that he was saying he is a Veteran I don’t know how did they let him to serve in military he was the worst person I have ever seen in my life.

Would not let our friend in on a Halloween night because he wasn't dressed up $25 cover charge but was letting everybody else in that didn't have a costume on. I guess because he didn't have tiddies exposed.

Let me start this off as saying I have never, in all my life, experienced something as racist as what happened with my husband and I here this past Saturday night.

My husband is a veteran. He served in the military for 23 years and is part of an organization with other combat veterans: People of all ages and races. People from the veteran association he is a part of were at Crocodiles this past Saturday night. They messaged my husband and asked if we would like to go over there with them to which we agreed.

We had come from a high school event and my husband was wearing a hat and a Dixxon shirt. I had on a hooded sweater and pants. When we got to the door the bouncer said, “Just so you know it’s no plaid and no hats. ” I said, “That’s ok. Just wear my sweater. ” Then the bouncer said, “Well, you can’t wear a sweater either. ” I said, “You didn’t say that. ” He said, “I’m just letting you know. My manager told me as you were walking up. ” Then, another couple walks up behind me and the man is wearing a plaid shirt. I said, “Sorry, you can’t go in. No plaid. ” The bouncer doesn’t say anything and lets the guy in. The man was white and my husband is clearly Mexican. I asked the bouncer, “What the hell was that? ! He had on plaid! ” The bouncer mumbled, “These guys are getting on my nerves. ”

I told my husband to call his friend in the club & let him know we can’t get in because he’s wearing plaid. My husband’s friend walks out, an older white gentleman, wearing plaid. I was shocked. By that time there was another few workers at the door. I asked another worker, “You’re gonna tell me that’s not plaid? ! ” His response was, “That’s checkered. ” I lost it and told them they were being racist to which the first bouncer said, “Ooooh, they’re pulling the race card! ” My husband was yelling, “I served 23 years in the military for this? ! ” And the first bouncer said, “It doesn’t matter how long you served. ”

It’s unfortunate that I have to leave this type of review. I have NEVER felt like I was being discriminated against and this is a first for me. I feel like the manager saw my husband from afar and could clearly tell he was Mexican and just judged him from there. It wouldn’t have gotten to this point if they didn’t let the very next guy in who happened to be wearing plaid.

I can’t comment on the other devices due to being rejected but this place is absolutely, 100% racist.

Great place to have a night out with friends and family the best staff very friendly/nice people working there

Every time I come here they are ridiculously strict on the dress code. Even on themed nights, like 90s night, they wouldn't let people in with a beanie, heeelllllllooooooo grunge is 90s, beanies are grunge.

Went last night for live salsa from Andy Callao & Orquesta and had a blast! Very friendly staff, and the live music was fantastic. Thank you Crocodiles.

Now this place is a gem! The music is old school and they mix in a few Latin beats which is great. The finger food is also good and the drinks are reasonably priced. This place is a must try!

I have enjoyed attending Crocodiles Night Club every Saturday night for the past several months. The service I receive from all staff members with whom I have been engaged has been consistently well beyond my expectations. They are courteous, respectful and always attentive to my needs as well to those of all patrons who attend and participate in the fine activities. I can recommend the very attentive service of Jacqueline, and the many floor servers including Aimee and Candice.

That said, I feel I must move my Five-Star rating to a Three-Star (I would go to a one-star if I were rating the DJ alone) because the music that the DJ (RR) is playing more recently is mostly hip-hop. The website for Crocodiles says about the music:

"Our disc jockeys play the biggest variety of the best dance music from the past 60 years. Everything from oldies, rock, disco, dance & even some country music. Because Crocodiles offers such a big variety of great dance music, we attract an older crowd that ranges from 25 to 70. "

Well, "hip-hop" ain't on that list. I believe there should be a good mix and lately, RR has been going almost all-in on Hip Hop. People typically come to dance to music that hearkens to the great dancing music of the past: just clean, robust, deeply motivating music that pulls you from spectator areas to the dance floors.

Dancing to Hip-Hop is much difference than dancing to the dance music Crocodiles claims to build its reputation on.

To that point, once in a while a new DJ takes over RR's place, and the difference in the music AND the audience reaction is noticeable.

I hope that the new owners will have a conversation with RR and get the music back to what made Crocodiles great.

Thank you Crocodiles for excellent leadership.

Went there last night and had a great time for my wife and her best friends’ 21st birthdays, was their first time out and it was fantastic. Shoutout to James for being a great bartender and Desiree for waiting on us, they helped make the experience a great one.

We are so proud to be part of the crocodile family. Whitney is usually our server. She is the reason we like coming back. She is friendly, professional and kind.coming up. She reminds us of up coming events and checks in through out the night.

I celebrated my birthday here, DJ Rene Ruiz played some great music. Everyone was out dancing on the floor. No drama, very friendly environment. Jackie was very supportive with the reservation. Great club with DJ playing some good music to dance the night away.

All around this night club is great! Friendly staff and costumers! I’d have to say my two favorite servers are Aimee and Candice, they are fast and have great recommendations! And 5️ to George the Club Manger he is great and does a great job at his job!

Was at Crocodiles last night. What a great time big shout out to Whitney or server super job once again that’s why you are the best.

I really enjoyed coming to crocodiles I’d have to say my fave server was Aimee, she has great recommendations and keep us happy all night! 5 ️ for her and crocodiles night club!

Always a safe and fun environment! We love the variety of music and dancing to all the great music by Dj Rene Ruiz
