Chemistry Nightclub

Dancing · Karaoke · Greensboro, NC

About

This place works best if you want a night that starts mellow with an older crowd and gets younger after midnight. Friday go-go boys and Saturday drag shows are the main draws, with DJ Gary spinning house music on certain nights.

The small dance floor gets crowded, but there's a heated patio out back. Drinks are cheap and strong according to regulars, though music and sound quality have drawn mixed reviews.

It's located in Downtown Greensboro, near other nightlife options.

From the community

“House music miracle”

I had stopped going here because the music selection wasn't creative or diverse. But then one of my favorite DJs was booked to play, and that changed things. Greensboro used to be a great music scene. If they played more house music, they'd probably draw bigger crowds.

“Porn star was HOTTT”

I was annoyed by the wait at the door, but the club was totally full and the adult film star was attractive. Friendly staff, potent cocktails, and a great DJ.

“My first time”

I went to Chemistry for the first time last night. The staff was very friendly and the drinks were strong, though it was slow since it was a Monday. I'm looking forward to visiting again when I'm back in town.

“Great little club”

It's a friendly neighborhood bar where everyone knows your name, with cheap and strong drinks. Friday has go-go boys and Saturday has drag shows as the main events, with old school Jeff DJing. The crowd is older earlier in the night and switches to a younger group around 12:30. There's a small dance floor inside and a heated patio out back.

“Miserable”

This was my first and last visit. A terrible place full of older people and cocaine users. It felt like a nursery for the elderly. The music was awful, the drinks tasted watered down, and there was a drag show with such bad sound that I couldn't bear to watch. I could go on, but I do not recommend this place.
