Feel trashy? Just let the manager talk to you.

I went into Play for the first time I am crazy by nature and dancing is what I do. I was asked by security not to do certain things like touch the floor because there was broken glass, and I did as I was told. Well, the next day when I came back because I had so much rockin fun!! The manager says "Honey listen, I know you were drinking last night." I denied it and he said "You didn't drink at the bar but you drank before you came in. Act out like that again and you'll be tested." Act out? It's a club. I'm supposed to dance. My friends have been telling me he's just irked because I danced with his gay lover and turned him straight ;) Anyways, the guy I was with also got ridiculously overcharged for his alcohol and was practically molested by some of the staff, but he's pretty hot I'd molesst him to so I'm cool with that ;)

• Pros: Awesome music, awesome people on the floor
• Cons: Comments from management are pretty painful.

Badass in a Non Badass way.

I love going to Play. In fact, I would rather go to Play than to any other bar because I feel that it is a lot safer. I do think that the management could lighten up a bit.

I think the only con I have is that the admission price has gone up for people like me who are too young to drink since they hand out feel jello shotss... or whatever they hand out.

The only thing I would warn people about is to be sober then you get there.... EXTREMELY. I almost got arrested becuase they thought I had been drinking... even though I had told them I had just come from an NA meeting and had my chips on my key chain.

Otherwise, I have no complaints. I love meeting new people there. Except the creepy old guys who like to come on to people old enough to be their grand daughters.

• Pros: Best Drag show in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!
• Cons: A little bit of arrogance

Save your money

Yes, read the previous reviews carefully. The cost of the overpriced drinks in plastic cups can vary from one bartender to the next (so can the attitudes). And, as another reviewer noted the ATM up front that looks like it belongs in a laundromat, generates $$ for the club, so go figure.

• Cons: high cover charge
