. "6"^^ . "5"^^ . "Being from the SF bay area, I am ashamed to say that this is the first LGBTQ friendly club that I've ever been to....but I think I'm in love. The vibe here is much more welcoming than most places I've been to in Madison..and seriously, such beautiful people! Glad I slapped on the makeup before I left the house. \n\nThe inside of the club looks a lot smaller than the exterior suggests, but it still holds a decent amount of people. There is a large stage area/dance floor at one end and a well-stocked bar at the other (back-lit bottles..oooooohhhh). I think I also saw a lounge area with its own bar(?) near the exit. \n\nPros:\n- Parking was a breeze\n- Patrons are sweet, bartenders are sweeter\n- Cheap drinks; whiskey sour did not disappoint\n- Great acoustics/stage set up..although I probably stood too close to the speakers (do you hear that ringing?)\n\nCon:\nOnly the fact that all my friends bailed and I had to experience this place by myself. Whatever, their loss.\n\nAnyway, props to the owners for revamping this place. And major props for the poppin' opening night/killer line up. I will be keeping an eye out for future lineups at Five!"^^ . . "0"^^ . "6"^^ . "2012-05-17T00:00:00"^^ . .
