What we say

Basement club for a little rougher crowd.
Sundays are the busiest in this dark dance bar below the Gifford House. Music starts around 10:30 and varies per night. Sunday hosts the leather dance party with darker house music, men in their leather attire and non-stop cruising. During the week, you'll find lighter fare with Karaoke, Pool, Darts and Ping Pong.

Hey, if people think this is too rough, that is news to me. Just walk the streets of any major city, that is much more rough & risky than this club. I love this place, hot fun, can feel a bit crowded or maybe like you're in a basement but that is because YOU ARE in a basement..Of the gifford house..BUT it's not gross, it's fine, just plain good fun if you don't mind hanging with everyday people & being in a club that isn't "over the top" with exceptional decor. There's no need for that..just look at the men & you'll think you're in "crotch heaven" focus on the bulges guys..really, it's a fun place!

***** Best Nights for Purgatory.
Posted: July 15, 2008
We did not find this place nearly as seedy as some reviewers have suggested. I would recommend hitting this bar on Saturday and Sunday nights. Saturday is the underwear party, which every one I spoke with including my travel companions said "I just don't think I can do this", and then afterward said, "I had SO much fun, I wish every night was underwear night". Sunday night is leather night and seems to be the best attended of all the leather clubs. The music was bit too "ciruit" for us, but there were quite a few hawt men in attendance.

***** Like the eagle in NY with dancing

This place is awesome on Sunday nights. Get there early to be sure to get in, but be warned no music is played until after 10:30 pm. Once the party gets going it is hot, dark, and dirty, as are the men! Just like the ole days of the Manhole in Chicago, how i miss it so.
