From the community

“its a fun time but bring a group lol”

It's rarely crowded but still a good time; the dancers are nice and the staff is courteous. The drinks could be stronger and prices vary depending on their five-minute specials. Overall it's enjoyable, and it's amusing having the dancers all to yourself.

“its now call Exklusive”

It used to be called Klub Hot, but now it's known as Exklusive. Stop by for good music and drinks.

“Club Not!”

It's amusing how clubs catering to a certain community assume they can charge a cover. In a city full of bars...no, just no. But for my review, I visited twice on weekends. High cover fee, lots of sketchy people milling about cluelessly. Both times maybe 15 people. The place is worn down, the patio is unsettling. Not worth your time or cash.

Very stylish club, friendly staff, great music, flat-screen TVs everywhere. Attractive men; I love it!
