Effex Nightclub

An Embarassment

It takes a lot of gall to charge $10 to get into this dump. The raw space is pretty cool but what the owners did with it is pathetic. The dance floor is made of OSB, the chip-board used to build houses. You'll recognize the furniture from Big Lots. Are those shower curtains hanging from the rafters? Cocktails are served in the flimsiest plastic cups, shots are served in the tiny bathroom Dixie cups your dentist uses for mouthwash. The DJ's are perpetually stoned or whacked out on X and spin the most tedious 90's dance tripe, the effects lighting comes from Spencer Gifts. Half the patrons are fat straight girls accompanying their twink gay boy friends. If you have any self-respect you'll skip this tacky disco and instead hang out at one of the sidewalk hot dog carts and laugh at the tragic klub kidz staggering in and out of EFFEX.

I really have a blast when i go... They play the best music ever!!! I love that they have an upstairs bar n dance floor...

Great place, But my opinion has changed...

Its big with a separate upstairs club. A few months ago I read in the ABQ newspaper journal that this place was rated the best new night club in Albuquerque, and even though its a gay club many straight people even say it's a good place. At first this place seemed to me like the best place to go the first time I went, but my opinion has changed about how great this place is since the $10 cover charge still continues. The drink prices are about $7 a drink in an 8oz cup. Now lets be honest to get a good buzz going I need at least 3-4 of these small drinks. However, many other clubs are about the same price, but those other clubs don't have a cover charges and they always have drink specials. So at Effex I always end up spending much more than I would at other clubs. This place is still Hot though. Good looking staff (many not gay), with a good size crowd of people (again many not gay), and good techno music (with no other variety of music) and the outside area is the best when the dance floor gets too hot. Still I rate this place OK because, this place is great, but its not good feeling like I'm getting cheated on drinks and cover charges.
