What People Are Saying About Neighbours-Disco

In Short – Every city has one: The disco that just won't die. Few in the gay community will admit to having a bruised affection for it, but it somehow continues to succeed where others fail. This glorified warehouse is alive with young club boys, their female friends, the city's best drag queens and curious straight folks out for a walk on the wild side. It is, for better or worse, what most people imagine a gay bar to be like.

Seemingly harmless dress code (WASN'T POSTED!) 86's you!
by Velvetsea
Who would think that showing up in a "GAY-friendly" and casual club would get you booted out for wearing a GAY TRENDY/cultural bandana (white no less)?!
We have gone to this place for years and years. The LAST time was several months ago when we presented at the club for a celebration. Not having ANY clue as to there being a so-called "dress code" upon arriving (none in the past), my friend is warned that she must take off her bandana if she enters. NO WHERE was there any sort of "dress code" posted outside. Feeling embarassed as now her hair was a disaster (and her lesbian pride hurt) she begrudgingly removed it and entered. While security said that she should "remove it or get out of the club" we decided it was time after a while to go - so on it went and towards the door we were heading (just like previously commanded.) Security decided to put a show on for the club as he pushed my door-bound friend several times from the back because he didn't think we were exiting fast enough.
Despite the constant paranoia that is of the presumed 'gang attire' (assuming) why just pick on one item that declares to consume just THE culture/lifestyle? I appreciate and understand the club's concern for upholding safety for it's patrons and such but who gets to decide what is unsafe clothing or not?! They are going the wrong way about it. So much for freedom of my gay expression...and so much for that club.
- Pros: Music/people variety, cheap entry fee
- Cons: Not as "friendly" and "open" as it used to be!

Beware!
by shocked1999
Word of caution:
This place harbors a lot of sexual predators that the security is aware of and condone. I have talked to several persons who have been assaulted and battered on the premises, purses stolen and outright abuse carried out and when reported to security is dismissed and the patron is asked to leave. Be very weary and defensive in this place or you will end up in the ER. PS..... Police do not even want to respond to incidences here as they are so frequent!
- Cons: Dangerous place to be
