About this place Necto

Necto was a mainstream nightclub on East Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor, near the University of Michigan campus. Its Pride Friday ran for decades and was widely called the longest-running weekly gay night in Michigan, drawing a young, mostly student crowd. Other nights were general-audience club nights. The club announced its closure in 2021, and later uses of the space may not carry on Pride Friday. Treat this listing as historical unless you can confirm a current event at 516 E Liberty.

Yo the Managers here all suck and are so rude staff members and all, they all just don’t care about anyone. Bartenders are the only nice people that work here. And the music keeps getting worse and worse every-time nobody dancing at all it’s terrible.
