Used to take my wife here, she’s goth and I “had a phase” once upon a time so it was fun for a bit. We always see people taking selfies, photos of one another, etc on the dance floor. We have never been on “those” nights IYKYK where photography is prohibited, we’ve never ventured “behind the curtain” lmao. However; one night I’m filming my wife dance to some goth tunes on the dance floor COMPLETELY ALONE and an employee rudely comes up to me and yells demanding I stop “for the privacy of others” and I quickly realized they pick and choose who their rules apply to when I saw the same employee taking pictures of their friends (with unsuspecting people in the background) the very same night. Weird. Now I’m looking at other negative reviews and seeing this behavior isn’t uncommon.

Went to the Goth Karaoke event for the first time, and the woman checking us in was horribly rude. We asked a simple question and she was sarcastic and mean. Every time we walked passed her to go in and out, she scowled at us like we didn't belong there. The rest of the staff wasn't much better.

We arrived practically when the venue opened at 9pm, and when we went to sign up to sing, they told us we wouldn't be on until midnight. We were stunned because the place wasn't that packed yet. Apparently they allow their regulars to go up multiple times before they let new people go up once.

We waited for the chance to sing because not many karaoke venues offer alternative songs. After waiting for 3 hours we were informed our songs weren't even an option. Apparently "goth karaoke" means pop punk and Taylor Swift, the same garbage that's at every other karaoke venue.

Thanks for the huge waste of time! We won't be back!

A Queer Richmond Institution! If you love dancing, strong drinks, and an ambience befitting a fallout shelter, you'll feel right at home here. Check out their social calendar online for specific events.

I love it here and everyone else on staff has been wonderful but the person with bangs at the front desk is always so needlessly rude to the point of being awful to interact with. Genuinely made my friend cry and had me reconsidering whether or not I should ever go back. We were nothing but nice to her and she treated us like garbage. Idk if it’s because our group was mostly POC but she needs to get fired.

Fallout is full of welcoming open-minded people and love that there isn't smoking inside! I mostly go on karaoke night! Not a member, yet.
