Love this bar. Found it by accident when I was here for work years ago. Very alt and 🏳️‍🌈 safe/friendly. They even have drag nights, which is a rarity these days. The owner is an awesome dude. Security is thorough, the bartenders are so sweet, they always have good music, good drinks, and reasonable prices. What’s not to love?

Manikins I found a few years back when I was searching for a new tribe. And I did find it there. A place to express myself,a place to escape the mundane, a place with great music and beautiful people.

My go-to place to dance on Fridays and Saturdays. If I go out. Very friendly bar & help staff, DJ actually looks at the requests. Has a nice patio out back to sit/decompress if you so choose. All around nice.

Fair priced drinks, amazing atmosphere and a staff that sets the standard for great service. Thursday nights are the best in the Treehouse with Mystree Hugga!

If you are an 80's music lover, this is the place to go!! I have heard so much about this place and I finally verified that everything my friends tood me about is true. I enjoyed my self so much last night... man so much fun. Cover charge is 5 dollars and the drinks are affordable. The staff is very friendly and the dj rocks! If you are thinking about going to this place, think no more and just go and be prepared to have fun!

Not trying to be mean, but I don’t know why this is called a goth club. The ‘goth’ nights have extremely repetitive sets that play mostly ebm and industrial, with the same 4 Sisters songs thrown in somewhere. Come often and it’ll feel like you’re dancing to the same playlist on shuffle every week. The lack of goth music makes sense when you account for the very obnoxious bachelorette parties that love to come in, get wasted, and shove you around the dance floor after they all gawk at you for being dressed goth, and when you account for the frat boys and other randoms that show up just to ‘see what everyone else is talking about, about this being a club for weirdos’. Definitely just an alt club that uses the word ‘goth’ to try to pull in more money. Would much rather go to Barbarella or Conduit goth nights where 1, there’s no cover charges, 2, interesting and diverse sets that aren’t repetitive and play lots of goth 3, no bridal parties/frat guys/people coming in to ‘watch the freaks’ and then shove us around the dance floor so they can pack in their group of 5 that there’s no room for.
It sucks because the servers are genuinely kind and the place has a great atmosphere, lights, and fog machine, but I can’t keep listening to a playlist I’ve already heard 20 times while a bridal party is pointing and snickering at me.

Why is this the only place in downtown Sanford that charges a cover??? I mean, I am sorry, it just isn't worth it!

I loved it but it felt weird going to an alt club and not seeing more alt people. Much older folk dressed in normal clothes…
