I love this bar


Hydrate Nightclub is an absolute blast if you're looking for a (late!) night of dancing and fabulous drag shows. The energy on the dance floor is contagious, and you can't help but lose yourself in the music. The DJs know how to keep the party going with an awesome mix. I have to say, though, my absolute favorite time to go is on Sunday mornings during the summer. They open the windows, letting in a refreshing breeze, and you'll find gogo dancers on the bar, strutting their stuff in their undies. It adds a whole new level of fun to the already lively atmosphere. One "negative" is that Hydrate can get pretty packed and the cover charge can be steep, especially during peak hours, so it can be a bit of a challenge to squeeze your way to the bar for a drink, but hey, that's part of the nightclub experience, right?


Great Place, friendly people, great looking guys, excellent place to unwind from a long hectic week. Or during the week.


Nice place for my first time


Fun and great drinks

I was fully hydrated here ! I think they are closed one day random out of the week . They have a stage for shows and the djs are usually very awesome . I hear there's a secret passageway to bar elixir . Not sure still I'll be back to check it out !
