Goth-leaning dive bar and music space with friendly staff, karaoke and live shows; great vibes and value drinks, but mixed experiences on safety, decor choices, and occasional staff issues.
27 Club excels as a goth-dive alternative venue with genuinely welcoming bartenders and strong destination appeal for the local alt scene. Creative gothic decor and cozy seating create an inviting nightlife space, while reliable execution keeps regulars returning. However, limited food quality and occasional crowding concerns prevent a higher grade—this is a drinks-and-shows venue, not a dining destination.
The room leans goth-dive with warm and bustling energy: couches, curios in every corner, and a back room that thumps when bands go on. Bartenders are praised as friendly and fast, and one guest said it felt like they belonged the moment they walked in. There are scattered concerns about safety comfort on a busy night and a strict neighboring parking lot, so plan your arrival. The drinks are classic bar fare—cheap bottled beers, simple cocktails, and fair prices—suited to folks who value good vibes over mixology. Karaoke Mondays, smaller touring acts, and theme nights draw a devoted crowd, with most visitors highlighting the inclusive alternative scene and lively shows. Expect noise when the room fills and occasional lines when the bar is slammed. Families should look elsewhere. This is a nightlife venue with adult-oriented programming, late hours, and limited food beyond occasional trucks or bar snacks. There is no kids menu and the atmosphere is geared to concerts and karaoke rather than family dining.
