by Anna M. on I love Tequila Rain! I spent all my clubbing years here! This place is not stuffy, like The Alley. It is also not overpriced and does not create fake lines, like all the bars in Government Center. The dance floor is always packed, and you get to meet fun and real people! You aren't going to meet Mr. or Mrs. Right at this place, but you will have a good time. The disco balls are fantastic, and once or twice a night confetti falls from the ceiling. The music is upbeat and there is always a skilled DJ. There is seating available, in case you need a break...or a make-out session. I've met so many hilarious people here! There were guys who sang to me, truck drivers that told me their life story, and an italian man who spoke Italian to me! I've also come here with a date or a bunch of friends just to DANCE. Sometimes, there are even dance-offs. You can always head upstairs to Jillians if you are in the mood for some pool, the remaining arcade games (left over from the 90s), or a drink. The VIP Lounge Area on the third floor is great for chilling out. This place always has a crowd; no matter what time of year it is. Sure, you will need a shower after, but isn't that a sign of some great clubbing? Love Tequila Rain!!!
by J. Francisco A. on Make sure to wear black or red. Nobody told me and I felt out of place wearing a blue shirt so wear black of red and you'll fit in nicely. When you walk in you feel like this must have been what it was like to walk into a brothel a long time ago so the name bordello makes sense. Everything is dark, wood, antique or velvet. The Burlesque show is unique and worth checking out. If you ever went to forty deuce it's very different than that show. If you have friends in from out of town I would recommend bringing them here as this is not you're typically bar or club. Before you go print out a map of the area as a just in case, i'm good with directions and navigation and had a hard time finding it. I got there early enough (before 10pm) that I was able to park in the lot next to the club. They make a strong drink and drinks are priced reasonable for what you get.
by Trent Selvig on Dive bars are sadly growing scarce in our quickly homogenizing city. Stein Club and the Beer Mug both faced down bulldozers and lost. Fuzzy's, The Phoenix, Backstreet (and if you discount Backstreet's status as a dive, then you've obviously never been there at 5am) gone, gone and gone. That's why we should thank our lucky, Little 5 hearts for The Star Bar. I'll admit: I don't go here much any more. The Tuesday Night Dance Party has started the same time for the past 12+ years, but seemingly gets later and later as these bones age. Open Mic Comedy Mondays and PunkRotnkee's Karaoke were fun until my Tuesday mornings became significantly less so. But occasionally The Star Bar will have a show I will want to see or the stars, the calendar, and a holiday will align that will allow me to come play. In those cases, it's still the same old Star Bar I first saw those many, grimy moons ago. As you enter, two bars are to the left and to the right. You'll get the same service from each so just pick one. If the line is too deep, the Vinyl Lounge downstairs has a full bar as well. The crowd varies depending on the night, the event and the band(s) booked. There may be a few regulars. Granted, I'm not the only one who's aged and it's become something of a punkabilly rest home of sorts, but don't let them intimidate you. In living out their Bukowski fantasies, they're much more interested in meeting their Makers Mark than in meeting you. That said, the drinks are relatively cheap, especially if you stick with the house special, PBR. The photo booth works and, unlike The Local's, it's in color. Depending on at which point during the night pictures are taken, color may be a good or a bad thing. Finally, I'd be remiss if I failed to mention the Elvis shrine. It's towards the left as you enter, in the old vault. Light a few candles. Pick a song from the jukebox (believe me, you may not hear it right away, but it works.) Slip a coin in the slot and make a wish. Gaze upon the golden toilet bowl. Once you've done all that, let the spirit of Elvisness wash over you. One visit to the Elvis shrine will stay with you long after you, and Elvis, have left the building.
