Reviews of Play Louisville (Night Club)

Dael Victoria Reyes Trust Sol Azteca's

Excellent service in the VIP, enjoy the show

Anthony Elble

Great New place for people to dance, watch drag shows. I think the cover charge & drinks were very over priced. And it is a very "programmable ". There is not much interaction between staff and customers. It needs personality. It needs more of a homey disposition.

cool place drinks are good

darrin savage

Play, has a great show room. The drag queens are very entertaining. I do love them. The dance floor is a definite disappointment. It resembles a renovated bingo hall. The cover charge is. Too experience, 7 bucks a drink is a complete rip off, they are strong but not worth the price.

Sherry Lynn

Awesome entertainers and very nice club

I LOVEEE THIS PLACE!!!

There is no other place in Louisville where I feel as comfortable and welcome. Let me clarify; my wife and I, a hetero couple, are completely comfortable here. No one is rude or hateful. We always have a good time. After a few visits the staff know me and they are always courteous. The performers are some of the best you'll ever see. Almost any one of them could have top billing at another club, but they stay because Play is a family.

Love going there and went every time with my military ID but this time they told me that I couldn't use military ID which really upset me. But still a great club!

Julia Whitted

Freaking amazingggggg bar. Had so much fun travel often and this by far the best gay bar I've ever been to. Plenty of environments for everyone fun times. If you are gay and in Louisville. COME HERRRRRRRE!

Debi Rodriguez

Last night was my first time @ Play, and I absolutely loved it! The staff, from the front door, to the servers, bartenders and beautiful women on stage, everyone was so amazing! They were all so welcoming to us newcomers! Every set was awesome! So much talent in that place, it's ridiculous! We will definitely be coming back!

Kris Lutgring

michael crow

First time coming here, and would go back. The staff is awesome. Had a great time

Abby Noel

Their customer service is horrible. I went in with a real underaged ID and when I went to get it back I’ve never been more disrespected in my life. It’s a shame because I had one of the best nights before I was harassed by their bouncers who obviously are rude as hell.

Alessa Harvey

I wish this place would get better DJ's. The Nashville location is AWESOME!!! However, the Louisville location sucks a bit. If I'm going to pay 10.00, tip the drag queens, and buy drinks, they could at least provide better music for EVERYONE. Once the drag show is over, they might as well close the club, because the music is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!

Joshua Stockdale

Always nice, always respectful. You can't always control who comes in, but the staff is great. Even when you drink too much and are a hot mess.

Hayden Jones

Pretty good club. Large dance floor (for the area) and a rather large "show bar" where there were several drag show performances throughout the night (Sat). They usually have coat check in colder weather but not always. They also have an outdoor patio. I was a visiter to the city and glad I went here to check it out. The bartender I had was friendly and good. The bathrooms are clean and the music was mixed but pretty good. There is no wifi in the club.

Mary Mullins

I went for the first time, very entertaining. I had a blast, best show ever.

James B

First time here and I liked it. I hope they expand some for the country night for fridays. This really is a big scene that could hit for this bar I think but that's just an opinion. Who doesn't need more business right ;) p

Jerry Lanham

Employees at the door were rude af

Michael Hale

Love this place. Micah, Owen, Amani, Travis, Leah, Jade, Akasha, and the whole crew make for a great experience.

Kennetta Thompson

Dopest club in the city of Louisville

Aaron LeComte

Great time

John Wojciechowski

It's a bar...the drag shows could be better...ever hear of singing instead of lip syncing...I guess I am jaded from too many years in San Francisco...apart from that the lounge and the dance floor were nice.

Bosslady Strong

Love this place! Several of my friends preformed last night and it was amazing! Great drinks and a mixed crowd of very friendly people! I had a blast...

brian hedger

Paige Rogers

Great dance floor. Awesome shows!

Naomi Gilley

I was going get get my ID back from the check in desk and the lady was not going to give me my ID back because I had been accused of hiding my wristband under my watch... she told me that if “I did that again I would be banned from play.” VERRY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! It wasn’t like I had a giant X on one hand and my ID place holding number on the other.

Jonathan COOK

Awesome and fun

Vashante Sinclair

I've been wanting to go to this place forever it is the one place that seems like home I'm in Bloomington Indiana and I am transgender and I am so scared to go by myself if anyone would like to invite me let me know.

Audrey Spears

Friendly atmosphere, hilarious and entertaining drag queens and CLEAN BATHROOMS.

Sierra H

So much fun! I love to go back and forth between the show and the dance floor. I wish Lexington had a place like this for dancing.

Caiden Jayce Fox

Been going here for 3 years and never once disappointed Micah is the owner here and he runs this place to a T love it they even offer open stage to new drag queens and kings want to have a drink with some friends and have a ball most recommended place here in KY great shows and awesome people

Amira’s Magical World

On the evening that my dearest friend suggested we finish off the night at PLAY, my expectations were modestly low. Having spent most of our time at 4th street live, the night was kind of—meh. Upon arriving at PLAY, I immediately noticed …

Benjamin Grubbs

Honestly if the dance floor wasn’t always empty it would be a solid five stars. Great drag shows, friendly bartenders. Kind of a lot of straight people, though.

William Lee

never been disappointed. Always wanting to come back .

Courtney Herondale Books

Great performance, good pricing for admission Definitely will be coming back

Heaven Greene

Always a fun time

TeQuilla J. Hayes

I very rarely go out to clubs; but when I do get out, CLUB PLAY is at the top of my list! The scene is FIERCE! The drinks are deliciously resonable & the performers give you a show to remember! I drive all the way from Cincinnati just to catch a show & shake my tail feather! I can't wait to go back!

Shawn Shaffer

Justin Taylor

Best place to go to have raw, unadulterated, musical, dancy fun. :-P Nobody cares your identity, anxiety, sexuality, introversion, extroversion, etc... you be you and you have fun!

Erica Nichole

This place is amazing! Such a positive atmosphere. The drag shows are great and the bartenders know how to make some really good drinks. They always do some holiday events and pride events.

Rowan Baker

nice place! very nice drag shows and I love when the dance floor is open (on weekends)

america cochrane

Fantastic time! The Queens are very beautiful and talented.

D Guzman

I dont recommend this place at all. The smell of pee its everywhere. If it wasnt for that i would give it 4 stars but the fact the smells like that even inside the club in the seats is disgusting...

April Bailey

Hit and miss! But they always have good shows!

Dani Ybarra

Went to Play for my 18th birthday and I have to say it has the best drag show I've ever seen! Can't wait to go back!!

Connie Fraze

andreagag322

The actors were bomb, however the staff was very rude and the place was not clean upon entering. I was disappointed because I’ve heard good reviews, but sadly I do not think I will be back.

Leslie Haywood

So much fun bouncers are a little rough kinda intense , other then that fabulous the queens are beautiful and killer !

Chelsey Jones

I haven't been yet and have heard lots of good things but I am only 18 I would love to go but not sure if I can go, it dose not say on the website and I can not get a hold of anyone on the phone

WR Z.

Something Nice

Came here when I came to see Lonnie Bee!!! The bartender was awesome and the staff was nice and friendly to everyone!

Ryan Bares

Large gay bar with a drag show theatre. They have several rooms. One with a DJ and dance floor, outdoor area and another with the theater. They typically have a cover charge and a lot of bachelorette parties on the weekend. So beware.

dana hakola

Play is an amazing place to hangout to watch the drag show and best place for dancing in Louisville. Derby was crazy when we went was disappointed and the owner asked me to call to see what the issue was and see what he could do to rectify it. Amazing customer service!

Thomas Loftus

Wonderful shows. Wonderful cast. A nice venue. Drinks are great as well. Only negative draw back is it's more of a standing room and limited seating but that isn't enough to give it a complete downgrade.

Ebony Masquerade Lolita

Yassss. I LOVE it. Nice dance & club scene, good drinks. Fun, friendly people.

Elizabeth a

I went to the drag show, and I was disappointed. Seeing as how you have to stand to see the show I missed it because I am 5 feet tall. Lots of under age drinking since no one is monitoring the kids drinking alcohol with the under 21 bands. I do like the fact the performers will take pictures with you.

Crystal Stallings

I work here,its not bad

Jeff Brandt

cool place. They mix their drinks really strong!

Anthony Williams

Good shows

Dale Roth

It was fun and lively for a wednesday, 20 bucks for a cover charge. That's crazy. Bartenders are nice. The drag queens were good. I would rather take my 20 dollars and tip the girls than on a cover charge.

Caitlyn Druckenmiller

Great fun.. drinks are too expensive but the shows are fun. I like ladies night on Thursdays.

Trevor Wilson

Great venue! A lot of fun!

I was very disappointed with this night club. 150 beats per minute on the dance floor is horrible. I don’t care what you call it, it’s a form of techno, which I cannot dance too and apparently not many others as well. You can stand there and gyrate, but that’s not dancing. The only danceable music they play in this club is in the show bar, now that’s dance music. Fabulous dance floor, lighting and DJ booth. Two bars, one of which is fab, and the other cheesy on a flimsy platform. The show bar is uncomfortable; you can pay for a private booth, which does not resemble a booth at all , instead it’s merely a padded bench with a cheap looking table in front of it, too far from the side of the stage, the side no doubt! Go figure. The shows are good and the bar in the show room is beautiful, but like the dance floor bar they serve top shelf liquor in plastic cups, really? You pay 10 bucks to get in on the weekends and they serve drinks in flimsy plastic cups. If you want that overpriced Woodford Reserve in a glass, you have to tish over to the patio bar. If you like to smoke weed, like me, you better do it before you come into the club, because they have a no re-entry policy, once you pay to come it, it becomes Hotel California. Late! The décor is nice, except those hideous looking office doors in between the rooms, how ugly. The bathroom sinks are adorable but the restroom urinals are plain Jane office style. Oh and Play Bar and all you other gay bars, how ‘bout playing some real dance music?

Tonight was my 3rd night going to Play and my first 2 experiences were okay/good. Today is Pride and I know Play is crowded and tonight is a heavy night but I just had an extremely rude experience with a bartender that has never happened to me at any other bar. I was ordering drinks for my brother and myself, after ordering one drink I was mid word of the the second drink when Kevin, the bartender, walked off to make the first drink. When he came back I asked for the second drink as well and Kevin told me "You need to get a new bartender." I've never heard that anywhere and was completely thrown off thinking maybe he thought I had a tab open so I told him "No, I don't have a tab open." Kevin, "You don't have an open tab?" Me, "No." Kevin, "You need a new bartender." It was the rudest thing and I have no idea why. I had gotten a drink from him 20 mins before that and left over a 20% tip so I was totally caught off by the way he acted. I understand being busy but I waited like everyone else and I tipped nicely. I saw others ordering more than 1 drink from their bartenders and not being told to order again. Beyond upset about this experience because now I really do not want to go to Play anymore. I would not recommend unless you have a different bartender.

This place definitely has the best drag show in town. Their drag queens are very diverse, performing a wide array of songs with great costumes and impressive dance moves. My only complaint is that there aren't very many people who like to go out on the dance floor between drag shows. They've got a large dance area and a DJ, but there are always so few people out dancing that it makes it a little awkward to be one of the few people dancing. Always a good time though!

Kenny Keeton

Very nice bar and they have shows to there's like four bars in one it's pretty cool

Joel Pagano

Great place for fun nightlife. The drag show, dance floor, and lounge are the perfect trifecta for a fun night. All the staff are helpful and professional, making sure that everyone is having fun and being safe. There is a $10 cover most …

ROY GUZMAN

Must to come! Good disco music. And a surprise.

Pegleg Wright

I left my ID and I tried calling them but the phone call ALWAYS drops when I try calling them

Heath and Caitlin Williams

Don’t come here If you have a service dog. Department of justice will be handling with them soon. Definitely think they know the laws but they don’t and as a nearby stationed military family I always tell other service members and their families about the discrimination. Got told”why would you want to bring a dog here on the one night people are wearing costumes and have a lot going on” by the freaking owner. Well I didn’t get to tell you because you walked away but I AM ALLOWED TO DO EVERYTHING ELSE A NON DISABLED PERSON CAN BECAUSE MY SERVICE DOG IS TRAINED TO BE IN ALL SORTS OF ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDING YOURS! I was just being a DD for my best friends 21st birthday. Piss poor people skills.
