Editorial Review for Excess/Orbit – by Jonathan Flax
In Short
Upstairs is Excess, a smallish club with a dry bar (licorice, Blow Pops, bottled water) and a dimly lit dance area surrounded by mirrored walls. Orbit is downstairs, and while the space's low ceilings and black lights make it feel like a basement, the dance floor is roomier, the music louder and the people more relaxed. The vibe, from management to coat-check girl, is unfailingly polite and welcoming, and the gay-owned-and-operated venue is remarkably straight-friendly.

To much extacy and str8 boys don't socialize and mingle with the gay guys and there needs to be better music upstairs
Pros: After Hours
Cons: extacy, standoffish str8 boys

This joint used to be a great place to hang with all sorts and varieties, all shapes and sizes and all sexual variations. No longer sad to say. Its been commandeered by the 18-21 straight-boy crowd. No offense, but they can get a little testosterone intense. Many act like they've never come across another gay guy before. Grow up dudes! We're not all after your butt. Most of us just want to relax like you until the sun comes up. Chill.
