Frommer's Review

Set within a dank and somewhat claustrophobic cellar, and painted mostly black, this is the most visible and popular gay bar in Raleigh. Many of its patrons drive for miles from the rural hamlets throughout the Piedmont for access, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Beginning at midnight every Thursday, there's a "Trailer Park Prize Night" where all of the artistes are in drag, and where many members of the crowd are nubile young women, presumably fed up with their own heterosexual mating games, and who scream and giggle appropriately. Thursday to Sunday, the club charges a cover of between $2 and $4 per person, depending on the venue. Open Monday to Saturday 5pm to 2:30am and Sunday 2pm to 2am.
