What a disappointment Saturday night at Akbar was. The music started out with really bad Jazzercise music then transitioned into better music once the temp inside the place was 100 degrees with 200% humidity. Might be more fun in a jam-packed steam room at the gym with dance music playing. They could at LEAST turn on the damn fans that was all around the dance floor. There should be a law against how high temp and humidity can go in a dance club. Â And the "SHOW" was REDICULOUS.... three adults doing a lame dance routine is not worth cramming into an already overcrowded space. I was really hoping Akbar was going to be a new fun place to hang out on Saturday night. The search continues for the perfect Saturday night spot with good music, fun crowd and reasonable temperature control.
OH... and $8 for a mini glass of 90% ice 10% cocktail is criminal - PLUS a cover charge. Wish I could give it a -2 star rating for Saturday night.
Thursday night however was a bit better. Not sure when they play House Music but I may try to check that night out as well.
Did I just accidently walk into a gay bar!?
Well no, I didn't. Â I'm generally not afraid of being hit-on by another dude like most. Â I know where I stand. Â Came here with a bunch of my friends for a quick dance. Â Music here is pretty good, but not overwhelmingly amazing. Â The place itself is very tiny compared to most dance clubs, but I guess that induces more "grinding". Â
Overall, nice little dive club I would say and for quick hip and hop dance you'll be fine.
