This place is even worse now: Not only do they charge cover for guys to get in ($5, which isn't awful), but they added a charge to go to the roof - $20. Before you're inside, they give no indication of the extra cover to go to their main attraction. You get two drink tickets if you pay the $20, but it doesn't even feel worth it, especially if you've already paid for a drink at the downstairs bar and don't plan on spending the entire night dancing on the roof.
If they were upfront about the extra charge, it might be a little better. Why not charge a cover at the front for men and women (who get in for free, but still have to pay $20 for the roof as far as I can tell). I only come here if I'm with a group, but we all left when we found out about this new policy. I wonder how many other groups do the same? There are plenty of other places to dance downtown.
TL;DR this place got greedy (well, greedier). At least their beer selections have improved in the last couple of years.
