  This place is just another poorly conceived nightlife destination concocted by some guy who thought "Hey, I bet running a successful nightclub will be EASY!". A new coat of paint doesn't mask the cheap mismatched furniture, or the hulking mass of dated sound equipment littering a stage that could use a revamp itself. "VIP areas" are clearly marked by loose pieces of printer paper with "VIP" in Times New Roman. The lock on the bathroom stall door doesn't lock, and there is unfinished wood screwed to finished wood in the construction. Not even a mirror. Dirty. The staff seems friendly. Not a fan of the music mix. Top 40 from 5 years ago, plus country music here and there. A little dubstep. There is nothing extreme about this place. It looks like they stopped halfway through the remodel and just went for it. Probably isn't a terrible place to go if Infinity is too far. They had a free limo ride promotion, but I don't expect that will last. Every time I've been there it never seems to get very busy , and the demographics of the clientele are all over the place. Some rough biker gang types, and what looked like someone's parents were in there last time I was there. On the bright side, the taco truck next to the entrance has decent pork tacos for $2.00, so it's not a total loss. I've heard that Latino Night on Sundays seem to have the best draw for them.  It's not close to anything, and they seem to have absolutely no web presence whatsoever. I had to create the location to write this review. Their Facebook page is Shock After, for example. They have a nice big stage, but to date they have this strange go-go cage up there that no one dances in. They've been open for about a month or two at the time of this review. I wouldn't recommend this place above other places doing the same thing. I think if it were trying to be just a bar, they'd probably be a decent one, but the nightclub focus kinda keeps it from being great at either one. If you want $10 at the door, you'll have to do a lot better than that.
