I used to go here every week with my friends for Thursday night karaoke, but I stopped going mostly because of Grace the bartender. One night, she completely ignored me and my friend and then when I call her, she lectures me about me not tipping whenever I order a drink and say, "dont go out if you cant afford it." Excuse me? I can afford to drink, and I dont have to tip every time I buy a drink. Grace, then, proceeds to tell me that she makes her living from the tips she gets, which I know from being a server at a previous job. After that, she then tells me that if Im not tipping, then shes not going to serve me until Im the last person standing there waiting for a drink. The fact of the matter is, you should serve anyone. Its not my fault you dont get paid enough. Thats something to be discussed with Don, not with the customer. About two weeks after that, I went there again to give the place another try and paid with my card. When I sign a receipt, I expect it to be the same amount when I look at my statement. Drinks that I signed for that were $6 were $8 on my statement. At one point, I was going to be charged $26 for a drink with two shots and I was told it was supposed to be $18. Long story short, dont go here unless youre paying for cash. I got up charged and told to dont go out if I cant afford to tip with every drink I buy.

Had a very good first time experience here with the Karaoke night on Tuesday but my second time around, The bouncer kept following me around all night. And to me, I thought he liked me. The whole time he was keeping his eye on me just to get me out of the club. I would NOT recommend going to this place if you plan to have an open time. Even the guys there dont really speak much to anyone. Nice karaoke nights, but weekend nights are awlful. These B*****S can rot in hell for that experience, $30 on drinks just to tell me and my friends we had to leave? I think NOT! GO TO THE HIPPO INSTEAD!

I was charged 20% tip by server James A even though I did not leave a tip for going to the dance floor. Charging the tip without the customers knowledge is ridiculous. I signed the receipt and believed I would only pay what I signed for but they added their own tip. This wasnt even for drinks, theu shouldnt expect a tip for dance floor ticket. I wouldnt go there again. Plus the music is terrible.

Everytime that i use my credit card in this place the bartenders charge me the 18 porcent no matter what in every transaction plus i gave them the tip in cash !!! My question is where is the managers here to handle this situation ? Just let you know guys if you decided to go to this place make sure bring some cash and DONT use your debit or credit card !

This place has really gone down hill. Sometimes its empty, sometimes theres a crowd. The music could be dance or pop songs - you never know. The last time I was there they were playing Kid Rocks cover of Sweet Home Alabama. However, its one of two gay dance clubs left standing so you dont really have much of a choice.

If you are looking for a local LGBT friendly bar this is the typical place to go. Its nothing extravagant however they have been around for a long time. Many regulars go here. Music on weekend is good normal club music. There is a cover charge for dance floor but not for bar section.

Didnt stay long enough to see how it is after the sun goes down, but stayed during happy hour and my friends and I enjoyed ourselves. Bartenders were friendly and attentive and the space is really nice. Would definitely stop by again and stay longer the next time Im in town

Best time I have had in ages! Terrific bartenders, friendly crowd, really a very nice place. Everyone goes out of there way to make you feel at home here. Perhaps I just came on a really good night? I will definitely be back, Thanks guys (and gals)!!!

Great atmosphere and you can tell that the owner takes pride is his business,although the drinks are a little bit more exspesive than other establishments in the area it worth it for the amenities. The new manager is great!

I really want to like this place. I really do. But the music is getting worse and more dated every time I go. The place is half-empty more often than not - even on the weekends. Time to suck it up and head to DC instead.

I have been a regular to this club but lately I have decided to stop going there.I have witnessed couple of fights and other incidents. The drinks are watered down nowadays too.Hopefully Don can fix these issues soon.

I was unfortunate enough to show up on a night where the loft was hosting a private party and the disco was only playing scene music. Who the hell basically shuts down a club on a Saturday?? Would not recommend!!

Absolutely love this club! The music was awesome. The drinks were good and fairly priced. All the staff we met was amazing. Well definitely go back when in Baltimore again. Nicole the bartender was phenomenal!

Dance floor is nice and music is usually good. The drinks are overpriced when compared to Leons down the street. The leather/Levi night is always great but sometimes the younger (21-25 yr) crowd can be meh.

Went to grand central club for the first time. $6 cover, Its dark, dark music and full of goths. Not the typical "gay" club im used to. Left after 10mins. Would have left sooner but the drink was made right.

its chill there though they should really tell you that put hold amounts on your card when you open a tab... wandering why all my receipts and my bank statements didnt make sense.

Seems to be a rather nice place. Like all bars its dead on Wednesdays but is shoulder to shoulder on the weekends. The music is great and the bar tenders are friendly

I like the vibe here and like the karaoke. I think that its a fun place even on off days. It gets packed on the weekends bur it is a very accepting atmosphere.

Hopping on a Friday night, bartenders are fast and drinks are generous. Outdoor deck helps with overcrowding and to have a cigar or fast smoke.

Im queer and I was not impressed. The neighborhood has gone straight to hell, sadly. Every time Ive been here there are cops coming or going!

I love this place! Both the bar and the pay-to-access (I believe its $3 before 11, $5 or $6 after?) dance area are great. Highly recommend.

A traditional anchor of the gayborhood. A cosy, low-crowd neighborhood hangout most days-times. Gets hopping on weekends at night.

Salsa nights are fun, drink specials on Wednesdays are awesome. Wish there were more Queer Latina nights!
