/\ couple issues ago, we asked readers in
Charlotte where they go out, especially after the
close of Velocity. Here are the results from our
online QPoll, with web comments.
When we are in Charlotte, we usually hit up
Hartigans and Liaisons. ^
Kameela Vose, Nov. 30, web
... Velocity had bad drinks that were too
expensive and god the music was bad. The
owner would never listen to any suggestions so
good bye to “Atrocit/'l
Charlotte has no “Gay Community”and
therefore no really Gay nightlife of any kind
like so many large cities are fortunate to have.
I went for the first time to Tutto mondos and
really had a nice time. A bit too crowded but
the music was good and the crowd entertain
ing. Central Station, although not much to
look at and sometimes “booger” can be fun.
Friday’s are always nice. It has a good age mix
and drinks are reasonable. Garden and
Gun... is it really going to be for us, the gays,
or will it end up being tog mixed and again
Charlotte will be without a large, attractive
gay only nightspot???

When I do go out, my time is pretty much
equally split between the Eagle, Sidelines and
the Woodshed. I never even heard of Velocity.
Charlotte Bear, Dec. 5, web
My thoughts with Velocity is that the club
itself was nice but the drinks were water down
and basic concept is that if the drinks are hot the
party gets hotter. The manager of the club was
not approachable at all and never took any club
goer advice even though is us that make the club
not management. It had a lot of potential just
never delivered because of poor management. I
have high hopes for Garden and Gun, the drinks
are better, the environment of the club is better,
my only concern is that the music is way to trib
al on Saturdays and the DJ/Management needs
to appeal to gay types of dance mixes and not
the straight-like club music. I hope with time
G&G becomes mostly a gay club with top 40
dance tracks, stuff we dance and sing along to.
DJ Kastana does well but he doesn’t spin the
lineup that keeps people dancing as the dance
floor isn’t always happening.
