First time here and I was a bit nervous but I had do much fun!
I left a review but I guess it got deleted. It was my first time coming here (6/28/25) and excited to check the place out but I had no idea that there was a dress code policy. I was invited by a friend to come and well the staff didn't let me in. I've been in many situations where I've been discriminated for my color but never for what i was wearing (white sneakers). They told me sorry you can't come in. It irritated me because I had to pay for parking just so I could just drive back 20 miles home. This is the first and last time I ever come to this place. You guys aren't friendly, you guys come off as arrogant and just show how exclusive you guys are. I rather go to communities where they actually include anyone no matter how they are dressed or look. And another thing, as a person who is brown and gets excluded by their looks this just triggered the feeling of discrimination.
Great goth bar/club! It's got 2 floors and the interior is amazing, kinda like a mixture of a gothic chapel and a gentleman's club. If you're a kindred spirit, go there!
Poser central
employees have no problem man handling strangers and physically throwing them out before making any attempt to talk to them like a human being. gross display of power for a “fun place” ruins the reputation of goths/alternative people and spaces
Pretty awesome spot.
Basically a club for Tim Burton type people aka you gotta be white to be goth

I never ate nor had any service at this extravagant niteclub but I went in 2008 and in 2011 and it was the best. Great dance music. Loved the S&M action upstairs too. I will return.

The staff was not friendly at all. Yelled at people told everyone they had something wrong with them cause we didn't have our ID out and ready for him even though he never announced to have it out. I needed to use the phone and go to the door, not outside. And they wouldn't let me back inside. This place is not what it used to be. This they need nicer and better staff. The dancers were amazing. Even the costume announcer was rude to the contestants.

I've been coming here for years and I wanted to show this club to some close friends from out of town but one was denied entry because he had the newest version of his state's ID and security's ID book is outdated. They refused to use the scanner they have on hand even after admitting it would be the logical thing to do. I've never experienced such shitty treatment at any club let alone here. Absolutely ridiculous, I love this place but I may never come back.

The security denied entry to a friend of mine after claiming his ID wasn’t real and refused to scan it. Definitely steer clear from this place!
