No cover before 11:00pm and normally $5 after; Minors welcome

Dress Code: Casual

Comments: My favorite hangout. I am there on an average of 2-3 nights on a given week. The dance floor is of average size, and the music is not too loud. The crowd is very friendly compared to the other clubs I have been to. The black lights are a little overdone, the art is a little off beat, but if you like early to late eighties music, there is not a better selection. The crowd here is mainly whites, few Hispanics, and barely any Asians or African Americans--like I said, I like the music and the crowd is very friendly. There are very few minors here; the majority is in their mid twenties, and about 30% are in their thirties. Last of all, we dance a little differently here compared to most of the other clubs.
