Sadly, the dance floor is now covered up with tables and chairs and the bar tender wasn't so nice. Probably won't be back. I used to love this place.

Cool place. Free to get in but they do ID @ the door. You'll only spend boo-kuu money here if you choose to get drunk here. Their drinks can be a bit pricy for how lightly they're made(at times cause ngl I've had some mixed drinks here that were STRAIGHT alcohol). Best advice for my drinkers lol: pregame @ home or the car, then come here & have a just few, you'll have a blast. They also have games and it's multiple levels.7.8/10.

Worst place I have ever been to. I ordered from their Protein Gains side. (Healthy menu) Disorganized. Couldn’t find my order until minutes later. Got 2/3 items wrong. Over crowded. No parking. Trashy people. Poor area.

Great place to catch a drink on a Sunday and let the kids have some fun, and at night the bar is as good as well. They have some good DJ’s playing and the bar staff is always on top of things.

What a fun time! Me and my fiancee were in attendance for the James Kennedy concert! A great time: speakers, lighting, and smoke is arranged in an ideal fashion. The staff was on top of creating an ideal experience for visitors

I was anxious about driving 6 plus hours to go to this venue. The reviews online were far from favorable. My daughter was very interested in seeing Lil Mosey, so we went despite the reviews. I am grateful we did. The staff was very kind to us. We expected Varsity to be open at 6 based on what we had seen online. We arrived about 7 and were asked to wait outside. The staff informed us that they were closed and opened at 8. We did see a delivery driver pick up some food before 8. (No food was being served when we were able to go in, so we had to leave and go across the street to eat.) When we entered I was in awe of the interior. There were four main areas where people congregated. Entering through the side door you enter to the main bar area. To the right you will find the rest rooms which are a great find after a six hour drive! When the night became busy there was a lady attendant there and anything you might need for an emergency touch up on your hair or sudden surprise. Being from smaller towns and only seeing this at a few locations, I found this to be a great addition to the venue. To the left of the bar there were tables that I believe they set up for events ($500-1000 to sit at these tables which are supplied with alcohol, juice decanters, & cups) on the sides of the room with the stage on the far side. There is a smaller, convenient bar in that room that opens to the outside. The outdoor area had a large scale beer pong, corn hole, Jenga, picnic tables & plenty of outdoor heaters. There is a much smaller bar area here too. The gate around this area has doors that you can exit from onto the sidewalk. The second floor has a small arcade, sizeable bar, and well lit with open air surrounding it. The capacity of the building was 412 & I am certain that more people were allowed inside. I asked for a weak Captain and Coke & it was quite strong for my liking, but drinkable.i decided to go with a speciality drink for the night the next two times and they were top notch. The dress code didn't appear to be enforced on the night I was there. Found it ironic that men can't have low hanging pants (I did see one.) but the female staff only have nylons or fishnet stockings covering their butt cheeks. I did see several people bounced out. Anyone who was pushing boundaries was immediately escorted out with several bouncers. These bouncers we're also quick to pull anyone from the crowd at the stage who was distressed. If you chose to be on the floor be aware that sure footing is needed. The crowd will move you. The crowd was 20-30's, large group of college students. Positive I was the oldest patron (50's). I was able to get to the stage multiple times without much effort. When I needed a refill the crowd/other patrons were extremely kind and helpful. The crowd was diverse and I didn't witness any discrimination. (One lady who was asked to leave was a young, well dressed, white female...so don't think you will get special allowances if you become obnoxious.) The common dress was a well made cropped, or dressy top and pants (not likely jeans) for woman and most men had a polo/collared shirt. Many people were pouring alcohol directly into mouths of the crowd. There were no masks at this event. (I myself didn't have one on me, but I know others might find this alarming.) All in all I had a great time and brought home plenty of memories. It would of been nice to be able to eat at the venue even if the offerings were as simple as chips, nuts, pretzels. If you are on the fence about trying this place, GO & form your own personal opinion. If your opinion of Varsity is different from the majority, SPEAK UP. I would have missed a great opportunity for my daughter and I if I had let my fears decide.

This is a horrible place to go too i was just standing and dancing on the dance floor and some staff guard came grab me by the back of my jacket and push me out & accusing me of pick pocketing which I wasn't doing anything of the such!!! and wouldn't let go of my jacket unit he push me out of the door and he didn't grab from my neckcollar grad or my jacket shoulder he grab me from the bottom of my jacket lifted me up in Air like someone lifted underwear over head so if don't want to accused of things u didn't do and be threw out like being thrown out school bully than I wouldn't recommend going here!!!

This was a great place. The music was hitting and the games were fun

Last night with my family we bought a round of shots. The liquor we requested was not what was given to us. They fill their top shelf liquor bottles with bottom shelf liquors. I'm not a college kid and i know my liquor. If you don't have it, just say you don't. Don't lie and take my money, that's bad business...
