Unfortunately, it is the only gay dance club in Calgary. Becasue of that, their customer service has gone down the tube. 1. They discriminate against straight acting women (they randomly choose who should pay cover and most of the time, they are gay women). Note you, this is not a "Private Club like Boyztown" 2. There are way too many "Twinks" who thinks they own the place. 3. Bar tenders are not friendly. 4. Music is atrocious! DJ sucks. 5. They make fake line ups to make it look like the place is popular if you are driving by. 6. Downstairs is dingy. Overall, don't even waist your time when you come to Calgary. Spend time with your friends at their house. Trust me.

***** Painful

This club is definitely run by people who have no idea what a cool nightclub is supposed to be like. If it was well run, it could possibly be cool but the DJ is the worst I have ever heard and the general atmosphere is stuck 15 years ago (but wasn't cool even at that time.) Guys are generally not all that hot. I think most gay people in Calgary know not to waste their time here and party in other cities.

***** It's a dance club with rainbow flags on the walls.

Nothing particularly great here. The clientele is a mix of androgynous 20-somethings and their girlfriends. I was told on my first visit that I acted too straight and had to pay cover. There is far too much silly drama surrounding this bar, but the owners largely bring it upon themselves. Go and dance, but don't expect to experience anything resembling a 'community' here.

***** gay bar gone straight

Where to start? Lets see... The music sucks worse than the atmosphere and can't tell if its even a gay bar anymore. I would say though that if you like to do drugs and like the twinks all wigging out, this would be the dump for you. Save your money and go to a straight bar. At least the music would be current.

Come on people give this club a break,being the only gay dance club in Calgary they're trying although the music there is dated I can only hope they might find DJ's that were at Metro or Detour to push them into 2008
