somedays awesome. somedays dead.
Fun place some nights thus place is rockin! Yeah I said it. Packed, hot guys fun times! Other nights, you can here crickets chirping (karoke/Latin night) the dancers, again hit or miss. So, go with no expectation and you'll be happy
Expensive and clique....
Went their on Friday, cover was $10 a piece. Was with my partner. They demand you use valet. Before I even ordered a drink, I was set back $25 + dollars. The place is full of young cliquey queens who have attitude. The bartenders were pleasant so long as you tipped them for every drink. Make sure you bring your debit card with plenty of money in your bank account. You will need it. The decor was average, run of the mill, not horrible but nothing great either.The go go boys were OK if you're into fluffy and not men. If you're are looking for a pick up or even mature conversation, this is not the place to go. This is the first and last time I will ever go to Pulse. The Parliament house, Wyldes, Bar Codes, and Hanks offer far more to the real men of Orlando.
It's gotten better.
Very young crowd. No parking except valet. Girl strippers (what?). Almost always a cover. The remodel is nice and the club feels bigger. The drinks are small and expensive. There are a lot of str8 girls, not all young and not all with other gays. Cruisy, but don't expect to seal the deal right away- most of the crowd goes to nearby UCF or lives with mom and dad. Best for 18-27.
Back in the game
Pulse is the hottest place to be on Saturday nights! Lots of people, a friendly crowd, great shows, hot dancers and great customer service. Plus if you haven't been to the recently renovated Pulse you haven't seen anything. Come by and check it out ... Make sure you hit it up on a Saturday best night to go!
Eh
The club is too small and the crowd was kind of lame: old lesbians, drunk college girls, and queens in urban gear. The music was good, the drags were enjoyable and some of the gogo boys were hotties. The drinks were strong too. 5 dollar cover, which imo isnt bad. A place to check out but not a must see
