This place encompasses every "hillbilly/country folk" stereotype imaginable - which for me, makes…read moreit all the more loveable. For a visual - think: goddy belt buckles, cowboy boots, ball-bulging Wranglers (make sure you get a visual for that one), undersized shorts for the ladies and skoal rings. My hometown friends and I have been frequenting this place since we were 16 years old (yes, in Ohio you can legally get into a bar when you're 16). We go for the line dancing and love that the song order is still predictable after 7 years. Word of the wise on the dance floor - stay the hell back from the girls with hankerchiefs in their back pockets - they mean business and really like their dancing space. Admission is only $3 for those over 21. Drinks are cheap - especially compared to Indy. You could easily get sloshed for 20 bucks. Large long island iced tea complete in festive styrofoam cup for only $4.50. Most music is country but around 11:30 they start throwing in some fun off the wall songs like "Stroke It" and "Pussy Control". Go with an open mind and heart for Garth Brooks.

You are sure to see jacked up pick up trucks and boys (maybe even some girls) with skoal rings. Once inside you are greeted with county music and cowboy boots stomping out the beat. Have no fear if you don't know how to line dance, just jump on the dance floor and look around and someone is sure to show you a step or two. If you are so inclined stop by the bar and grab a beer or a mixed drink for $1.50. This place is sure to surprise you but sure to be a good time!

Went to Boogie Nights for my birthday with a group of friends! Such an interesting venue! I think…read morethe music was great, and drinks were very reasonable (I ordered 3 shots and a drink for $26 - I know other reviews complained about high prices, but this was lower than typical for a club in my opinion!). I really enjoyed the night and I recommend Vip if you want to sit close to the dance floor. There was a pretty large group when we went and my reasons for a 3 star rating includes the following: -the floors and escalator were pretty treacherous due to sticky floors - I slipped repeatedly in my heels on wet floors and when I changed to flats, they stuck to the floors and I repeatedly lost my shoe to the sticky gunk (meaning the floor kept my shoe and my foot came out of it). -the bathrooms were disgusting: they didn't start badly, but progressively got worse through the evening and were not re-stocked or kept up by staff. -the raised dance floor was a bit of a nightmare if you found yourself dancing towards the edge. I slid off and tripped going up multiple times because of the crowd. -this club absolutely does not enforce its dress code. Tons of baggy jeans (men), shorts, tennis shoes, sweatshirts, and other non-themed attire that violated their published dress code. The mash up ended up close to 40% in theme, 20-30% club attire, and the remainder was closer to what you expect to see while shopping at a large box store. Not trying to be snobby, I just expect places to follow their own rules. Overall, I had a great time and would go back if the mood struck!
