I go here pretty much every weekend. Know why? Out of this world beautiful staff! Two rooms of dancing, but i only know about the front room, because im claustrophobic. But the sound is completely engulfing and all-encompassing. And, dude, the DJs... (chef's kiss) No matter your taste (EDM, hip hop, pop, country; these folks lots of times just combine all of them, which im in love with.) My favorite thing, tho? I can walk in the door, grab my drinks, and head right back onto the dance floor in seconds flat. If you just wanna dance and be left alone to enjoy your own body NO PLACE IN THE CITY IS BETTER. NO PLACE. Also, shout out to Curtis!
This place is a home away from home for so many queerdos and goth hotties. The security staff is incredible about booting disrespectful clientele keeping the place feeling safe on many layers. I have come to rely on the welcoming atmosphere for a bad day. And on a good day, the people here are great to celebrate with. In the face of all that goes on in the world outside, community and celebration is resistance and this is the Soma hub for the revolution.
No lines, easy access to bar and friendly and helpful staff. 2 dance floors. Super funky interiors. Totally worth checking out. Look out for their themed nights!
Went for the goth music and atmosphere since we were in town visiting from tampa. This place was so fun! A good amount of space, friendly staff, and they sold merch too which I thought was interesting. There are some couches to lounge on and a dance floor as well. Will definitely be visiting next time we’re here.
