About
Discovery Night Club opens Saturday evenings at 10 PM and keeps going until 5 AM. This 30,000-square-foot venue spreads across three rooms: the Disco-Tech room for EDM, a lobby bar for hip-hop and Top 40, and a showroom featuring drag shows starting at 12:30 AM. An outdoor patio with seating is also available. The club has been owned by Norman since it opened in 1979 and has hosted major acts like Coolio and Aaron Carter.
The crowd on a given night can lean mostly straight, according to recent reviews, and cover is reportedly in the $12 to $15 range. It's 21+ only. Regulars appreciate the bartenders and the sheer space to dance, though some find the decor a bit dated. If you're up late on a Saturday and want multiple music options under one roof, it's a unique option in Little Rock.
Located in Little Rock's River Market district, near Cottondale Ln & Jessie Rd.

“Racist”
My time leaving this place in Arkansas showed me that white people here are very racist, and on top of that there are gay people here, and I hate going into that club.

“Its open til like 5”
This is a large club with good music and great bartenders and staff, but the cover charge is high -- last time it was either $12 or $15. It's a bit outdated, but it's a decent place if you want to dance. However, the last few times I've gone, it's been mostly straight people, probably an 80/20 split.

“Drag Queen fight”
After getting to the warehouse district, you find the club. Inside it's okay with different rooms playing various music. Bartenders are cool and some are attractive. But be cautious of the drag show. On a recent Saturday night, a drag queen spent about 20 minutes on stage threatening to beat up someone in the audience. The person didn't even realize the queen was talking about her for the first five minutes. It became quite scary. The host drag queen eventually told her to calm down. There's already enough violence in the world, and this shouldn't happen. If you're really bored on a Saturday night, check it out, but don't have high expectations for Little Rock.

“suck”
This place has no gay atmosphere; you might as well go to a straight redneck bar. It's a really tired and disappointing bar.
