  The 1230 Room is the best dance club in the Olympia area.

  I was a little skeptic at first, because of the general area. But I had a great time here.

  By far the best spot in Oly! More upscale then most and feels like your in Seattle. The music is good with a mix of everything. A little more on the electronic side but that's fine with me. Crowd is good looking and drinks are reasonable. I would def recommend!

  This place is WACK.
  
  The DJ that night was very inconsistent with his music.  I noticed that when the crowd was getting into some old school (for example), the DJ would cut it short and play dub step for 10 min straight then switch over to a top 40 song.  Sure it's possible to play a variety of music but that's only if the DJ's able to transition to another song without making it feel abrupt.
  
  1230 does attract a douchy clientele, where the guys think they're G's and the girls think they're the *ish.  I don't get it personally....
  
  Cover is just $3 but I don't even think it was worth it.  I could of just stayed at the broho and ordered another gin & tonic.
  
  If anything, I rather just head over to Jake's when I'm in town and in the mood to dance.

  I noticed that all the reviews for this place start the same way: "For a club in Olympia..." There's a reason for that. All the clubs and bars in Olympia are pretty disgusting, but this place isn't so bad. At the very least, the bathrooms don't look like you stepped on to the set for "Trainspotting", and the walls aren't covered in graffiti. Unfortunately, the crowd is your usual run of the mill douchey looking bros and skanky looking girls. And the doorman is kind of an asshole. Aaaaaand...the dance floor seems really small. But of the clubs in Olympia, I gotta say this is at the top of my list. Sadly.

  Living in Olympia where there are 40 dive bars and barely 4 clubs, this place is a GREAT alternative!
  
  It has lovely decor and professional bartenders.
  
  I would have rated this club at least 4-5 stars but there's a downfall . . .
  
  The door staff is rude. Olympia is much too small of a place to have to put up with a rude doorman acting as if we're in Las Vegas (and I get treated great there)!
  
  There is a way to control the door without ruining your patrons moods. In the end happy customers spend more money! These are basic business concepts that would really help this club.
  
  However, the rest of the staff/bouncers are great and the owner seems very nice.

  Suprisingly this place was pretty cool...  the decor was still a little tacky/tryin to hard to be some plush ultra lounge LOL... but it's olympia... ain't gonna happen, sorry! haha
  
  What I like the most bout this place was cover! $3 before 11, $4 after...HAHA!!! That's deals!
  
  There was a real interesting mix of people up in there too! Youngings to people in their 40s and lots of ethnic diversity!  I liked it!  The music was pretty on point too. :)
  
  All in all, I'd go back to the place when I make my bi-monthy trips to Oly haha...
