They say it is a gay club but it is not. Full of straight people and kinda boring beats. Wasted 20 bucks and drinks are expensive 🙄

Yes 75 year olds can still rave. My 21 year old boyfriend finally convinced me to come here tonight and boy oh boy that's a night to remember. I raved like there was no tomorrow. Drinks were good, was surprised to find no handsome men offered to buy me any, should've seen me in my prime suckers! Might come here next weekend with my daughter...
