I've gone to play more than once before giving a one star to see if this was a one time occurrence. The place is nicely set up but i can't shake the fact of how bad the DJ is here. How does he play Lion King theme on the dance floor and think this is good??? There was another night that he mixed titanic then changed it to Jay-Z without any blend. If you ask anyone that has gone here they will tell you the music is trash.
Play is advertised as a Gay Dance Club, but the clientele is 80% straight women, maybe 5 % gay men. I went twice in May 2022 and literally one night I was the only gay man out of 30 people on the Dance floor. It has a busy drag show and the dance floor is nice, it is not a gay bar through, and if I had approached most of the men there (including some of the employees and management) I would have been told to leave them alone 'cause they are straight.
It's basically the only dance bar & gay bar worth going to in Nashville. Canvas is lame, Tribe is usually empty, and Trax is just tragic. I hardly ever go. I've been in Nashville 2 years and been maybe 3 times. It's good for dancing, but there's a 20 dollar cover at least on any given night. And, I'm sorry, but nowhere in Nashville is worth a $20 cover. You can get the exact same and better in top tier cities around the country for free. I'm not into drag, but they have that. The music they play is usually old... like from the 90s and early 2000's. Sometimes it's a vibe... but after a while it's like... can we join the modern era please? The drinks could be stronger. It's packed on Fridays. Getting a bartender to look at you is a special ring of hell. There are like 3 spaces inside and a large outdoor back patio which I like. Idk... I'm from San Francisco, so my experience with gay bars is like, top quality. This is... just okay. I wouldn't go to it if I lived in NYC or SF or LA. But... for Nashville, where else will you go? Fun place to dance and I haven't had any real negative experiences, but overall it's just okay.
Very nice dance club where I had one cranberry vodka for 8 dollars.
What more is there to say? This is the flagship gay bar/ dance club in Nashville. They have a lovely cast of drag performers and a huge dance floor. You can reserve tables and booths for special events to get a front row seat at a drag show and probably get to participate by getting asked some questions by the MC. Look for special events that you can participate in by dressing up to avoid paying a cover charge.
I absolutely enjoyed my night here. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming, the shows were extremely entertaining and fun. The drinks are also strong, so you’ll for sure have a good time. Definitely a must visit place!
This place is literally trash. Absolutely sad. Literally no room to even breath. Over priced and super disgusting. The "girls" or whatever at the front literally took my friends legal ID and refused to give it back. So I'm sure they will enjoy the letter from my attorney. My drink tasted like water (literally no alcohol). And to top it off the drag is next to mediocre. Kisses boo
I’ve been to lgbt clubs all over the US…. Kansas City. NYC. Las Vegas. Dallas. Pueblo. Knoxville. Lincoln. And never have I ever felt so comfortable. Never has the crowd been so fun. Never has the ppl been so diverse! This place is the best lgbt club I’ve ever been to! It’s absolutely amazing!!!!!!
Lively environment and very friendly locals. Show was really fun
