Great Time

Great place to hang, lots of fun. Crowd is friendly and lots of people after about 11. I'm a bit shy but I must say the shoe shine king really can rev it up up stairs. The spot is dark and the cover sucks but other than that it was great.

Very gay and very leather!

Been going since 1991. I used to love the Black Out parties.It IS the only bar that I know in Indy where you can find a guy and a dark corner and get it on. Always wear a rubber. I give this place a B, in general.

The reviewer before me, trashed four clubs. In one day? This is the "image" he projects about gays? Myself I have never been to this club. Having too many things to do, This is what I like people to think of as the "image", of a gay. That the reason they don't go out much is they are working hard to get ahead. They learn to cook, and live in cheap parts of town. To save money, that is why gays can "get by on a couple of hundred bucks a month". Can you guess my thoughts on the above reviewer?

Charge a cover for no reason

The bar is ok but no shows or dancers. They charge a big cover for a wothless live dj. Fire the dj and get some action going with that cover or dont charge. Boring

Slowly Becoming Better Than Ever

The wildest bar in the city, I avoided it for years. Boy what did I miss? This place rocks! From still free pouring some of best drinks in the city, to bartenders to suit every taste, this place has it covered. Great events almost every weekend, decent music most of the time, and the prices aren't so bad. The rumors you may have heard, not so true anymore. Females are welcomed, the staff is better than ever for the most part. It is truly a great place to grab a beer, play some pool, throw some darts, dish some 411 and just release after a hard day or rough evening. Excise were giving them hell for a spell, but it is slowly returning to normal. Actually, better than every with the new blood and new owners at the helm. I think of it as Cheers...for the softer side of the A-Team!!!
