User Reviews for Swank

We went to swank on a Saturday night with 5 people in our group, 3 men and 2 women. We had checked the web page to see what the cover was and what was going on that night. It was a costume party with a $3 cover for those not in costume, $9 cover for the boys.. not bad right? just wait.. The girls got dressed up and we went down to Swanks. We walked in the door only to be told that it would be $51 just to get in the door!!!!!! WHAT?!?!?! We polietly told them what their web page said.. and in fact what the sign said on the door.. but where quickly informed that those where incorrect and would have to pay the $51 to get in.. The cover was $15 each male and $3 for each of us girls because we had dressed up. Now.. I could understand paying that if there was a live band, or even decent drinks.. But to be honest .. I wouldn't pay ANY cover to go into that place.. Ive been there before when there was no cover and its nothing special.. Just another bar with over priced drinks, bad service and rude people giving you the evil eye. I just don't understand what they are charging such an OUTRAGEOUS cover charge.
Pros: It is a nice gay bar in the middle of kent.. So i dont have to drive all that far.. other than that .. nothing special
Cons: Rude staff, Weak and over priced drinks, false advertisement on home page, LOTS of rude patrons.

Did friends/employees write the other reviews? Went on a Saturday night no less: maybe 10 people in the place. My girlfriend and I went to the bar to buy a couple of drinks and hang out. Someone was in the back, but couldn't be bothered to work. A regular yelled back twice "You got customers" but it didn't do any good. After several minutes of standing around and chatting, we headed over to Traxx.
Pros: ??
Cons: NO Service
