Scorpio's is a fun bar! That is one of the few things you can say FOR SURE :)
Is it a gay bar? Well, mostly! But there are straight, bisexual, gay, and transgender people who regularly attend and any given night, this variety of people will change! There are equally as many guys and girls if you go on a Wednesday or Sunday, which are by far, the best nights in my opinion! FREE BEER OR FREE HOUSE VODKA DRINKS! Who can beat that? You just pay the cover & literally drink all night for just what you tip your bartender! (Tip well for stronger drinks & faster service!)
They have an outdoor patio for smoking, two dance rooms, and a drag show most nights. The DJ keeps great music going all night, and the crowd loves dancing & drinking! I'd say its perfect for the 18-30 age group!
I always have a good time when I go here. Â The crowd is mostly younger (18-30's, some 40+ but not many). The entrance fee is kinda steep, but it depends what you like. Â Wednesdays are hit-or-miss; sometimes crowded and sometimes empty. Fridays are great, all-the-time packed with hot gorgeous people. Cover is $10 and free well draft beer is included on Wednesdays and Fridays. Sundays is another great crowded night. Music is always great as a mix between Dance/House and Top-40/Hip-Hop. Â AVOID Saturday nights if you don't want to get shot or stabbed!! Overall a great place, this club has been operating for over 50 years now and bad really brought gay culture to Charlotte in full force!
Review Source:wednesdays and sundays are the best nights i think..ive been going to this club since i was 18, now 35... its a guaranteed good time! :) they have great specials on some nights its all you can drink draft, sometimes its all you can drink well drinks or vodka...with admission of course, which has almost always been $10... if you love drag queens check out sunday nights, its the most fun! :) djs have changed over the years, i dont know who is the dj now but i know there will always be some good music to dance my a** off to. :) been going here for years and will probably go for many many more. proud this is one of the oldest gay clubs in nc! :) go scorpio!
Review Source:Me a couple friends went by Scorpios last night and it was a pretty good time. I haven't been by there in years but the scene is pretty much the same as I remember and it's always at the very least a good time and especially if you are in to dancing.
I've heard the different nights have a little different things to offer but we landed on a friday which was 10$ cover and all you can drink keg beer. I ended up having a couple of those and it's just keg beer in a glass so don't expect any premium stuff there. The liquor was reasonably priced and as always, be sure and tip the bartenders heavy on the first round and they'll take better care of you later on. Oh yah, the place is pretty much cash only so be sure and bring some $'s. They do have a ATM but you're getting into the service charge there if you need to grab cash that way.
I'd add some more here but  I have to say Jimmy D's review is very spot on. The dance floor is large and the music and lights are more than enough to get people going. The drag show they put on was decent but nothing outstanding.
The drinks are cheap and the music is pretty good depending on the DJ that night. Its not that expensive to get in, either. I guess you can kinda say I'm a regular... its the only club that I have fun at and the crowd is never rude - drunk of course especially on free draft beer night but never rude in my opinion. hahah  Its a nicely sized place. I've had waaay too much fun at this club!! They have three bars in total (one in the main room right by the big dance floor), one in 'Divas', and another upstairs when they have that open. If you wanna get some air they have a nice outside patio too.
Lately I do have to say that the drag shows that I have seen have been kiiiinda boring to be honest but that's not what I normally go there for unless they have special guests. Â Reading the comments I realize people are all like 'this place is shady' and, yeah, kinda is but I don't expect something fancy unless its downtown. *lol*
The only thing I don't like is the creepy straight dudes that show up and lurk around, especially on Fridays. They really don't take a hint. But that's with every club in my experience, sadly. xD And in my opinion Scorpio is kinda more-so for the guys. I'm a queer female and I find it hard to spot the girls who aren't just their for their gay bf. I've gone on every day they are open but Saturday - my friends say the crowd can be kinda ghetto.
House liquor is free on Sundays, free draft beer on Wednesday. Other specials are normally only 3 bucks which is good in my book! Â I read on another review that the drinks were weak but like every bar if you tip them well your bartender will treat your right. Â If your looking for something fun to do with no frills and no pretentious people this is the place.
This place is pretty hard to review. Depending on your sobriety level when you leave, it may be because you have a little trouble remembering your time there.
When you enter past the surly ticket takers and go through the doors you're greeted by the booming music of top 40s remixes, though I do like the fact that they don't play it so loud that you can't hear someone screaming in your ear. The drinks here are kinda eh, you don't get much for your money and they are fairly weak in my opinion. Though I hear that on Sunday well drinks are free with a $10 cover, and Fridays offers free beer on tap so that's something to keep in mind.
The main reason to go here is for the dancing! They have a huge dance floor and it is quite a sight to see everyone dancing their tushes off! I was particularly amused by the twink who was twerkin it like it ain't no thang! I always have a fun time here, even when I'm the DD. The patio outside is filled with people smoking and chatting each other up. Good if you'd like to have a conversation with someone you've met, not so good if you are adverse to cigarette smoke though.
Scorpio's is a fun time, and they have lots of cool drag shows that are pretty awesome to watch. There is a fair mix of people on most days. It is extremely ghetto on Saturday though, and lots of fights break out on that day though so I'd steer away from that day.
This is SUCH a fun bar and it is huge!! Â The music is fantastic and there is so much room to dance. Â There is also an outdoor area and a separate salsa bar. Â Fridays is all you can drink beer for an $8 cover. Â They do have drag shows (not sure of the days) and they are pretty fun to watch. Â I think this place is a blast for straight and gay people!
Review Source:It was dead on a Friday night but I was informed they were only open that evening for a special show. Â The most notable thing going on was a young lady's bachelorette party and what you might call a fashion karaoke event. Â
But I was looking for dancing. Â I hear the night to go is Sundays. Â I can't go on Sundays since I have to be back at work at 9am the next day. Â How people do that and stay employed is a mystery to me. Â Trying to find a solid dance floor with some good tunes on the weekend in Chartown is making me desperate because the current options leave a lot to be desired if you're a transplant from a city with a solid nightlife and far less-strict nightclub laws. Â Nightclubs are appearing and disappearing like bats in the night in this city. Â And if you try to rely on publications like Creative Loafing to keep up on everything you'll find yourself chasing the dust and glitter of a crowd already gone.
They do have a full bar and lots of room to move around on the dance floor. Â But they tend to have a small show/performance, then play music, then interrupt the music with another show. Â That's a buzz kill for me. Â Since I'm not there for the other reason (not that there's anything wrong with that) I probably won't be going back to check out the dance floor again unless the grapevine sends an alert that they've cranked up a regular Friday or Saturday thing. Â But I'm keeping my eye on these guys because if they did get "dance serious" during weekend prime time it would be hopping mad.
