Reviews of The Scorpio (Night Club)

Kay

Good service and friendly crowd. Only bad thing was being forced to watch a rap group that looked like 50 year old men perform several songs. People began to leave the floor & I left shortly, but it’s a cool place.

Pablo Piccaso

Jamal Ballard

ID card lol

Came here for my 21st birthday this past weekend. I was recommended to this club by another friend. Had a great time with my friends and I will be returning! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, music was great (mainly hip hop), the bartender’s were very efficient, security was very polite, and the MC for the drag show was hilarious and set the tone for the rest of the night. Good vibes overall and I cant wait to return with my friends again!

Hector Campuzano

This place is a great place to unwind and dance the night away. There are new owners and you can definitely tell the difference and they are doing a good job to make it a great experience. There is now a Latin dance floor so you get variety. The front ladies are so sweet and the bartenders make sure to really take care of you!

mia jones

Was great

Christian Benavides

Awesome place to express yourself and dance the night away with great music and amazing people. Brought my family and friends and we had a great time watching the hostess direct people onto the dance floor and compete for the twerk crown. I will definitely be coming back here next time I'm in town. Remember to bring cash as this is a cash bar place. They do have an ATM inside with a $3.75 fee.

Waltier Turner

Everybody loves to go here. They close later than most clubs. I do wish it was another big LGBT club to choose from though.

Bernard Smith

The shows and the party life

troy chalmers

I've been going since 2009 it's still a good club to go to never been on a Friday

Kasin Clarke

Always fun!

Diane Brown

I actually like atmosphere.. Different from what use to.

Imaginary FrIeNdS

I thought It was Walmart

A. Winters

This place desperately NEEDS a new Dj, his music choices are trash nor does he know how to mix, most times people are just standing or sitting because the music is so bi-polar. I’ve never met a dj that when you request a song/genre to be played he will give you the thumbs up AS IF he is going to play it, only for you to NEVER hear what you requested. I think what truly brings in so many people is the drag show because this place is begging for a face lift, the LGBTQ community DESERVES somewhere clean and safe to go to and this place is/has fallen off

Jacqueline Ward

Fantastic

Lovely Moore

Like it

Merrell Brown

Didn't to much enjoy seems like everybody is here for the drag sho,w no one's dancing except one person.. Drinks ok ok location... Hope they improve the music selection

Ravan Rinehart

Bouncers at this club commit hate crimes towards LGBT folks. Not okay! I would press charges, but I don't have your name. Do not go here! This place is problematic, homophobic, transphobic, racist, elitist, ablist, etc. Patrons cause issues with customers for no reason.

Matthew Steele

What looks to be once an okay place to sit down and have a coffee?? Is now littered with poor aesthetic choices in music, lighting and crowd. Performers like August Phillipines in the house cast are rude, uninteresting coke addicts and the bar seems to only bring people in on promise of drink tickets. I've only heard about scandal and filth before going there a couple months back and the atmosphere did nothing to alleviate that for me. I wish I didn't feel so ashamed of a queer space in my city but it's hard not to with what is brought to the table.

Alex Sisson

What a low life kind of place. I have been offended and wronged one too many times at this establishment. First time I was told that I was a “stupid chink” and yes I mean this in the wrong derogative way against Asians, well tonight I was told that because of my abnormality cause by my bilateral cleft lip birth defect. One of the so claimed security guards told me to go “fix my lip”. That is neither professional or right on a basic human level. I’ve been so hopping mad at the comment that I have called everyone I know to vent and clam down to about the situation but nothing has worked or fixed how I feel. I will not and refuse to support a bar/club that allows people to say such offensive things to their customers. I will NEVER support this place again and strongly urge everyone else looking for a good place to spend an ENJOYABLE evening to elsewhere in the city straight or gray friendly.

Breanna Sanders

Prices to get in shouldn’t be that much considering, but I guess it’s a good price for young ppl, the drinks are cheap and good too, I’ve been going for 3 years now I really think they should invest in some hookahs, they would get a lot more business

Albert Moore

Very safe and fun place to party!!!

DW wagoner

good vibes good music

Michael Fortenberry

So I haven't been to this place since I left in 2016 the owner was a real piece of work but the place itself was fun I dont know if I would ever go back just because of him and his man I dont know much about the place since then heard some horror stories I wish the place success but doubt I will be back

Sine Anahita

First visit 43 years ago. Glad to see you are still here. Good times!

Interesting

Sonny Sinclair

Great place to party and have fun

Robert Pierce

A shadow of what it once was,hardly worth the time to go...yet people still hope that the place they once knew will come back to be....

Holly Golightly

For the younger crowd very rude unhelpful staff I will never go here again

malcolm rembert

The people in there including the staff was very friendly to me considering it was my first time entering their club. I would definitely love to go back there one of these weekends.

Terrence M. Ussery

Awesome atmosphere

Sporadic Travels

I've only been here once for Black Gay Pride in 2014. The drag show and performances were really nice. Place gets really crowded the later it gets. At opening it's dead, but at least you can get in and relax. Bar tenders were friendly. I'll have to go back again to get more of an impression.

Maurice Pearson

Club gay

Janea Corpening

Everyone was so happy to be there . Good vibes , will be going back for sure !

Katie Rollins

Here for the $1.50 coronas y popcorn

Spiider Sabiich

Scorpios is alright, if you like hip hop and rnb then Saturdays are for you. Mix crowds and different types of music, Sundays. Fridays are for the cheap beer.

Matthew

Went here for pride, paid $20 cover, 45mins in "someone" sprays pepper spray right as the building reaches capacity. I left, but I'm sure they reopened and gladly took others cover. Funny people that are regulars say this always happens on busy nights.

TANEISHA WOLFE

Nice spot to have a good time

Patrick Dunlap

Scorpio is the spot on Saturday. Dj Ghost goes in on all kind of music

M Burch

Most awful dangerous LGBT club in Charlotte. Expect to see people being beaten and abuse with no consequence. Drugs and under age drinking is rampant. Has been this way for the past three years. Spend your time and money else where if you care about your safety or mind.

Greg Farmer

Literally the rudest people you will ever meet. Not worth it at all. Go somewhere else. This is a second review: they literally close whenever they want to. We got there 1:30 on a Friday and they just told us they we closed. They makes no sense. If you’re open till 3am, why are you closing at 1:30??? Literally do not come here unless it’s a Saturday. Even then, don’t come till after 1. This place has really gone downhill

Lauren Baker

I had a really fun time here, the dance floor was packed and the drinks were tasty. The atmosphere was really cool and maybe it was the alcohol, but I felt very welcome! People calling it ghetto are crazy, it looked fancy to me! Everyone was there to have a good time and I did too.

Lauren Ashley

I gave this place two tries. Not a fan of the atmosphere or the vibe here. Music was okay, but the crowd is where it went wrong for me. The drag show was the best part of the night but it’s early on and pretty short. Other than that this place sucked

Zachary Richards

I may piss off a few or more people with my review but.... Scorpios has gone so far downhill from its golden days. I remember when you could walk into this club hearing music known to all. I was extremely upset with the selection of music that was playing as my group and I just stood and watched the others on the dance floor who were also just standing in place barely moving. Scorpios is supposed to be a gay bar... where's the dance music? I use to adore with club but it's just my place anymore.

Marina Pelemis

Went down with a bach party, do not go here. It’s absolute trash, i felt like i was going to leave in a body bag. If i could give the bartenders a different rating i would give them a 10/10, but the drag show wasnt even a drag show! Ive been to sooo many and they were all fun. This was just skinny dudes dancing and then some wanna be rapper performing. There was no one actually doing a drag performance, i have no idea why they call it that. They booed my friend who was getting married and that was not nice. Typically a real drag show would be supportive and fun of EVERYONE. This place needs either more police, or just needs to shut down. Such a disappointment and a waste of my money. I’d rather jump off a 25 story building.

Lindsey Brenna

I'm 19 which means they put x's on my hands and an underaged band on my wrist at the door. THAT I don't mind. What I mind is that they took my license too! I've never been to a club that went to that amount of trouble. The reason they take your license is when you're waiting in line to leave they check to see if your x's are still intact and your bracelet on. If you don't have one or the other guess what: you have no license or I.D. either. They keep it. I broke none of the rules and here I am still without my license. Well, long story short I was waiting in line at the front desk to leave and I suppose the clerk didn't notice I was underaged so he yelled at me quite rudely that the exit was the other way. So I left forgetting that hours earlier I had left my license. Once you leave the club you aren't allowed back in without paying the RIDICULOUSLY high entry fee of $15.So my license is now an hour away from me since I drove in from out of town and I had to order a new one which won't be here for a week or even two. I am PISSED. Don't go here if you're underaged. it's not worth all the trouble.

(Translated by Google) It is a pleasant and pleasant place. (Original) Es un lugar placentero y agradable.

Augustin Villalon

Loved the embience. Loved the music and the guests were friendly.

Ricardo Gonzalez Torres

(Translated by Google) Very thieves at the entrance tell me it's 5 to the entrance and pay with 20 and it still tells me that 5 were missing we were 3 people! It's 15 dollars and they owe me 5 and they still charge me 5 above (Original) Muy ladrones en la entrada me dicen es a 5 la entrada y pague con 20 y todavia me dice que falran 5 eramos 3 personas! Son 15 dolares y me deben 5 y todavia me cobran 5 por encima

This nightclub holds onto the I.D's of under aged guests until they leave. Donald, the owner of Scorpio, intentionally damaged my authentic I.D because I forgot to pick it up before I left his establishment one night. When I came to pick it up a week later when they reopened, I was told by the employees that their policy included damaging the I.D's of only under aged guests who don't pick them up before they left. They said that it indicated that the guests were too intoxicated to pick it up. I honestly never consumed any drugs or alcohol. They told me that I would have to explain to Donald, the owner, why i didn't pick up my I.D or else it will be damaged. Donald approached me with attitude and disrespect and asked me to explain to him why I forgot it. I told him that I didn't appreciate the way he was speaking to me and that the employees never mentioned their policy and that I forgot my I.D. He walked off into his office after that, then came back out and told me to step outside. He then handed me my I.d almost completely cut in two. The bouncer told me that I needed to leave the property. I walked back to my car and had my mom call to speak with him on three-way with me and she respectfully voiced her concerns. He then tells my Mother that she can't believe everything her son tells her and that I am a liar for saying that I wasn't aware of their policy and hangs up on us.

Went with friends and had a blast! They even offered free draft beer!

Sarah Whitman

M TELL-YA-LATER

Great night club. Great place to go dancing

Matthew Dildine

sad to see such an iconic bar dying a slow death due to bad owners/management

Darleen Harper

I have fun most of the time here

Dayanara Charlton

Very disappointed. My friends and I arrived at 11pm with the intent of having a good time. I read a lot of reviews and nothing said it was cash only to get in. So it costed $5/person to get in and a $4 ATM charge. Then, we get to the back and go to the bar that had a sign saying cash only bar. Nobody had drinks in their hands and nobody was even at the bar to get drinks because nobody told us up front to get cash out if we wanted drinks. Nobody was dancing, only had their phones out. So my friends and I left, and as we were walking out the people at the front door asked why and then laughed at us which was very rude. Definitely wouldn’t recommend coming here. Also, if you have asthma or anything that causes difficulties breathing, they have a heavy fog machine that can mess with that.

I think the best alternative club in NC. Always a large crowd on Saturdays.
