| - Well, this used to be my favorite dance club when I lived in Charlotte! Sadly, I'm a Brooklynite now and gone of the days of pretension free dance clubs- NC has a gem in Dharma Lounge.
The cheap drinks, frequent well-known DJ's, fire pit outside and the free Yoga are all things I'd kill for now being an NY-er, but alas Dharma is still around when I visit NC.
I LOVE Dharma and Laura, who helps run the place is amazing.
The crowd is usually quite diverse- there is International Nights, Hip Hop Thursdays and the Le Bang Wednesday party which all have their own stereotypical crowd- all nights are fun though.
Why 3 stars then? The DJ's are no consistent- one night you have Green Velvet & the next night you have an awful DJ over-mixing Rihanna songs (this really happened). Aside from that, the crowd is always hit or miss- sometimes the place is pin-drop empty on Saturdays and others (especially when there is a visiting DJ around) are PACKED to the hilt and you can barely move.
Overall, this is a great club. The doormen are awesome, the drinks are cheap...you can even do Yoga here. Just make sure you know which night to come out to this place, look to see if there is a visiting DJ to ensure that you aren't in a room with 15 other people awkwardly swaying back and forth.
