Editorial Review for Alumni Club – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Ah, to be 21 again. Get in before 9pm on Saturday nights to avoid the cover, or boogie down on Wednesdays to the decade-old tunes some like to call "retro."

User Reviews for Alumni Club

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Bitchy waitresses in low-cut tops, cheap drinks, medicore bartenders. The help seemed more interested in chatting among themselves than waiting on the customers. In stark contrast to places like the RAM brewpub which has an excellent staff and great service. I'm only in town a few times a year and I'll certainly never go here again.

Pros: waitresses looked fetching

Cons: waitresses were cold and off-putting

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I was going for someones birthday with a big group of people, and I was expecting something TOTALLY different. (I don't really know what to tell you the truth). I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The drinks weren't priced too horribly. There weren't any outrageous lines.... The dance floor was packed (The way it SHOULD be)..... I could still move and walk around without feeling like I was being suffocated. Overall I had a BLAST!!!! (I'm the type that likes a busy, happy, dancing crowd.)..... The dj kept the crowd laughing at some military guys that kept getting up on the dance boxes..... it was pretty amusing. I liked the big screens that had interesting stuff to look at, and the overall layout of the place is really interesting (there's an upstairs area that I think can serve as a private area for parties and what not, when I was there it was open and it overlooked the dance floor which was REALLY interesting to look out over....) I would highly recommend this place if you like to just let loose, dance, drink, hang out with friends.... you know.... kinda like when you went to parties in college, but LEGAL..... cleaner, bigger, better :P (I believe if I remember correctly the music was all the top hits.... like a lot of clubs nowadays, but I didn't mind even though I like techno too)

Pros: Great friendly atmosphere, more casual than most clubs, less expensive

Cons: Decor isn't anything fancy, sort of bright if I remember right
