Love this place. Halloween is the best night to go. Everybody goes all out with costumes. Doesn't matter the weather, people come out. The DJ's here have been killing every night for years. The drinks are made by the best bartender in the area. Not expensive so you end up having 3 or 4. Parking isn't the greatest but the line is always out the door.

Nice environment. Patty is always incredibly pleasant. Only problem I have is that the security is low and I feel unsafe being there sometimes.

This place is SUPER chill. Music was very across the board. Played mostly darkwave as opposed to goth rock. Everything else was an array of goth friendly genres. There was some songs that had industrial elements. People were actually dancing and the DJ seems to know what's liked among the locals. Staff were super nice. The bar was a bit crowded and we were too shy to wedge your way in but if you get there early you can. The dance floor was also crowded but that can work well bringing people together. It's such a cute place. You really have to go in and see it for yourself. Will be coming back next time I'm in the area.

This is by far one of my favorite places in Rochester. I have been going on and off for almost 20 years now, it is the only Goth club in town and we are lucky that it happens to be a good one.It is one of the only places in Rochester with a real dance floor with mirrors and a stone pillar right in the center.It's a mood.

the entire vibe and atmosphere is negative and low vibrational. patty the owner and bartender on the 1st floor is attentive and has an amazing memory of names and drinks. she is always niceeric the bartender on the 2nd floor is kind and friendly. david crash is an an arrogant a-hole who acts like he's gods gift to the earth. he plays NO requests. which is fine if his general demeanor wasn’t i’m gods gift to the world in a venue where paint is peeling off the walls and it smells like cat piss but y know go off. he's the DJ that will yell at you on the dance floor and embarrass you (theres a previous review of this behavior) but ive also watched him do it. i have no idea why hes still there as he has no people skills and generally brings unease in a space where you should feel like you want to be there and feel welcomed.if a venue is literally falling apart but provides a safe and comfortable place for community most can ignore that it isn't ‘up to typical standards’ but to have employees who make the atmosphere hostile and uncomfortable on top of that is too. much. for years it felt safe and inclusive and now it feels the exact opposite. ps. everyone does coke in the bathroom.

Very inclusive nightclub. Come as you are!

Tasteful music and a come gentlemanly spirit of camaraderie. The pool tables were well-kempt unlike many of these places where ruffians break the equipment.

Always a good time at Vertex. Patty makes the best drinks. If you request a song the DJ will play it.
