young crowd, nice place

The setup and decor are nice, drinks are good but pricey, dancers bar is fun sometimes when they have men but often theryre just boys

This place sucks.

I'll give it this much, the place LOOKS great inside, unfortunately the few times I've never made any friends, as the crowd tends to be to be pretty cliquey and stuck up. Between that and the no re-entry and parking rate, it's not worth it.

Go to Pulse!

Pulse is an amazing place to club! The lights, the guys everything is A+. Unfortunately though as with all gay clubs there are some nasty old men, but I must say not as bad as Parliament House. Pulse is great but only on Wednesdays is it packed (college night). Mr. Sisters stole a lot of Pulse's business so Saturdays and Sundays not the best time to go. I'm a college student, so it's free as long as I have my college ID (on Wednesday's). Otherwise it's eight dollars, which sucks. But if your over 21 and come before 11 no fee to come in.

Its fun on college night

On college night the bar is happening with a lot of good looking guys around and good size croud and music all night long. Happy hour is for long Islands so take it easy, it can be a long night...!

Don' t go.

Valet pariking is 5 dollars even if there is space in the parking lot and cover was 10. There was almost nobody the Friday night I went at 10 to 10:pm. You couldn't reenter if you left. I left anyway. What a waste!
