"Plan B is one of my favorite places for a night out, and I can't think of too many flaws with it, especially when compared to other clubs that I have been to.\n\nThere's 4 factors that determine my liking of a club: The staff, the crowd, the prices, and the dance floor.\n\nThe staff for me gets a big thumbs up. Everyone i've interacted with has been nice, and respectful of you and your space. I've seen some of the staff get annoyed, but often for good reasons (i.e: Someone trying to get in without an ID).\n\nThe crowd is a bit more of a mixed bag, but still overall fine. It depends on the day that you go. I've found the crowd to be the most immature on Thursdays, which is their 18+ night. This means there's a lot of bumpin' and grindin' and liveliness, but it's somewhat annoying at times. Every day of the week has their fair share of creepy people who are just there to hit on people (I know it's a club, but it makes some people uncomfortable, so please be a tiny bit less overt about why you're there!). The best day to go in on Friday I believe. You get the big crowd that Thursdays draw in, but the people there are more down to earth.\n\nThe prices are like the crowd in that there's some flaws, but it's fine overall. The drink prices are very good for a club, and the drinks are strong. It eliminates some of the desire to pre-game before going, because you can just get a $4 Long Island (on Thursdays) or some good vodka mixers (on Fridays), and you'll be good to go. Most nights have a cover, however, and sometimes that cover doesn't feel like you're paying for much. The cover is never more than $10, though. Some other reviews have noted that they weren't fans of this. I can understand their plight to an extent, but compared to other clubs i've been to (i.e The MID in Chicago), this is an extremely tame cover price. This cover helps pay for the dancers/entertainers (beyond the tips they get), so i'm not usually opposed to it.\n\nFinally, the dance floor is great, depending on the day. The floor itself is large, and can pack a lot of people. It has a raised platform in front, plenty of flashing lights, the occasional fog blast, etc. It's pretty much what you'd want in a club. The music depends on the day of the week usually. The Thursday music is always pop-oriented to cater to the 18+ kids. On other days it can be more house oriented at times, which I usually like more, but to each their own.\n\nOverall, the B is a thumbs up for me. I don't think the owners and staff can do much else to make it better, but given that it's the most straight friendly gay club in Madison, it's bound to be crowded, and you're therefore bound to have a couple awkward experiences there."^^ .
