Wild & welcoming LGBTQ+ club

Beyond the shows, the drinks and dancing flow! The vibes are pristine, and it's a welcoming environment for all, meaning that everybody can feel safe to cut loose and have a great time. Be ready for a high-energy evening out; it's nearly impossible to resist bouncing along to the music here.

scorpios was the best

many years ago i used to perform at scorpios as well as oleens and other places in nc and sc and i was always so proud to be at scorpio the crowds were off the hook and the times were crazy. i miss all my fellow performers toni lenoir boom boom lady gran prix and especially my big sister miss stella starr she so rocks. but alas times have changed and myself (miss stella stephens also was stella moon wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy back ) have ended that part of my life. maybe one day i can get to relive those times again . thanks to all who were there who made my life much better especially marian and her husband who were the owners at the time. love ya all have a great holiday season. rock on girls.
