Lux Nightclub

Douche bags, stuck-up frat boys, and bitchy sorority girls.  That's 75% of the people who come here right there.

You're better off getting drinks next door at Rubber City Grill.  Don't come with high expectations.

Whiskey Dick's was better when it was still open.  Now, since it's the only legitimate nightclub in Downtown Akron, people who want to dance on stripper poles and in cages have no other choice.

I avoid this place at all costs - mostly because of the people.

It's nice to have a place to dance in Akron with a decent sound system.    

The don't have a stripper pole but do have some pretty sweet creepy couches.

Ever been to one of those bars that you feel so much better about yourself just walking into them? There's the ambiance, the red carpet to the elevator that drops you off on this illustrious sensual 2nd story lounge that is completely decorated in white leather couches, and white tapestries? It screams champagne sex scene in an LL Cool J video.

Then you walk to the bar to order your first drink, and well, with it being as sexy as it is, you figure a mojito is a good place to start.

Wake up kids. That's where your dream fantasy world ends. LL Cool J won't be spotted here, because there's no mojitos and I'm damn sure that means there's no champagne either.

In fact, when I asked for my beloved mojito here on a Thursday night, the bartender practically laughed in my face. His response was a "bar like this won't carry a mojito." Really? Anywhere else I've lived it would. Suddenly I was pining for one of my swanky clubs in Phoenix.. or the places in Akron I had gone in the past that *would* serve mojitos. Sadly, I asked for a cranberry vodka, to which the bartender added happily as if it would make up for the lack of minty goodness, "I'll put some grey goose in that. Should make up for it." No... it does not. You fail Lux. You fail terribly and I will avoid your tempting sexy attire next time I return.
