Effex Nightclub

Had a really disappointing experience the last time I was here. We got in line to get drinks when a very rude bartender who had major attitude for no reason asked us rudely what we wanted to drink. I remember turning to my friend and being very confused to why he was being so rude. We got our drinks, and I decided not to tip him because of his treatment. We got back in line an hour later to which the same bartender barked at me that he won’t be serving us because ‘we didn’t tip him’. First off, you can’t refuse service to someone who doesn’t tip. Second off, tips are earned by good customer service, something he should learn how to do. I’d imagine he loses effex a lot of money if he refuses to make drinks for anyone who doesn’t tip him (which I’m sure is a large amount with his attitude). If you’re at effex, be aware that there’s a bartender who thinks he’s entitled to get tips but doesn’t need to treat anyone with any human decency whatsoever:)

Birdcage or Inmates who Pay to Be Here

Bouncers, some who seem quite "wound-up" quickly patrol from room to room here. Not all are "healthy". This makes a night less cozy. One tried to take my first drink of the night from my table while talking quietly to my GF. What gives? Oh, the INSIDE UPSTAIRS bar charges a HIGHER PRICE for the same drinks you get at the club's other bars. Cheers :)

Great club for the area

The upstairs lounge is beautifully decorated, outside patio is large and great for a summer evening out. Downstairs dance floor is very rave like with high ceilings and a industrial feel. Unfortunately front entrance does still look like an office building from the 80s and needs updating desperately. The bartenders are attractive and friendly. the drinks are made well but slightly pricey for Albuquerque. The female go-go dancers are beautiful but the male go-go boys need some work.

Joke isn't funny

It's like what you'd get if a hidden camera prank show decided to slap together the cheapest sloppiest laziest ugliest dance club ever, charge way too much to get in, and then record people's reaction to how they got tricked. Customers are about 50% straight girls, 40% scrawny little sissy twinks, 10% drug dealers.

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM A DUMP LIKE THIS.

LISTEN PARTY PEOPLE, I BEEN TO THIS PLACE MANY TIME'S, AND I HAVE GOT BAD VIBES. ALSO THE DOOR GREETERS LOOK LIKE FREAKS, WHAT A $ 10/$15 COVER CHARGE, THIS CITY IS NOT A BIG CITY, HOW CAN THEY EVEN CHARGE SO MUCH WHEN THIS DIVE IS NOT APPEALING. THE SEVICE REALLY SUCKS. WAY OVER PRICED DRINKS IN A 8 OZ CUP, WHAT KIND OF SERVICE IS THAT, THE DRINKS ARE NOT ALL THAT, AND WHEN YOU GET A BOTTLE BEER THERE NOT EVEN COLD. I JUST MOVED HERE, AND PEOPLE SAID THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE, I REALLY DONT SEE ANYTHING SPECIAL ABOUT THIS PLACE. IT'S TO CROWED IN THIS PLACE AND REALLY SMELLS BAD, LIKE A SEWER PLANT, LIKE A SHIT HOLE WITH OUT THE TOILET. AND EVERY TIME I TRY TO GET A DRINK IT LOOKS LIKE BARTENDER ARE ALL CRACKED OUT, OR DRUNK. I GOT MY DRINK SEVERAL TIMES, AND IT WASN'T WHAT I EVEN ASKED FOR, WOW I CANT BELIEVE THE OWNERS DONT EVEN CARE. I THINK IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS PLACE GET'S CROWED DONT EVEN COUNT ON SECURITY TO HELP YOU, THEY WILL BEAT YOU UP BECAUSE YOUR GAY, THEY DONT CARE. WELL ALL I CAN SAY, IT'S SO HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN RUN A PLACE LIKE THIS, I WONT BE GOING THERE ANYMORE, I HAVE BEEN TO BETTER PLACES, THANK GOD FOR CHOICES, I WILL NEVER GO BACK. I HOPE THIS SLEEZY CHEESY BAR WILL CLOSE SOON.
