Scorpio

This popular lesbian and gay nightclub has been going strong for years. Many gays drive for miles -- even from across the border in Tennessee -- to have a lively night on the town at this bustling joint. Actually, it's several clubs within a club. There's a large dance bar that attracts "same-sexualists" (to use Gore Vidal's term). There's also a country bar called the Queen City Saloon. On certain Friday and Saturday nights, the crowd is so vast here that you'll think everybody in Charlotte has gone gay -- at least for the night. The club is open nightly from 9pm to 2am.
