Add a reviewHad a blast
This was a great place with a mix crowd..Loved it..
Terrible DJ
The layout may be OK (though they sadly allow smoking on the patio) but the DJ last Friday night was awful. Playing that early 90's hetero "rhythm is a dancer" UGH. Not once did I hear anything from an artist from TODAY's artists.
Another Charlotte Institution
I returned to Charlotte after 3 years in Florida and found this is the only gay dance club left...ugh....but Charlotte is lucky to have it....Free Beer on Wed and Friday brings in the young crowd along with the drag show on Sunday....If you like to hang out with 18-30 year olds, this is the only place to be....great eye candy and sometimes more than just for the eye...:)
Loads of fun
This place is in a not so great area, always packed! I love the music and can be very fun. I agree, the club needs a make over. Sometimes the crowd can be pretty sketchy though.
Not bad cuz there is no place else to go!
Only open on Wednesdays and Sundays with Sundays being best. Drag shows are fine, great mixed crowd!
