Axis Nightclub

HIDEOUS

HORRIBLE UGLY OLD DRAG QUEENS> RUDE BARTENDERS!!!!!! OWNED BY PEOPLE THAT ARE MEAN AND HAVE DESTROYED COLUMBUS! MUSIC IS OK WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A FAT UGLY DRAG INTERRUPTING THE MUSIC

just your typical gay club, which is good enough for me

let's be honest, Axis is a typical gay dance club. it's nothing special compared to gay clubs in other cities. just average. with that said, if you're a gay guy who's under 21, you have zero other choices on the weekend in Columbus, which is why i go there every weekend. if we had other gay clubs that let minors in, i'd switch it up sometimes (the only other option is Wall Street, but that's just on Wednesdays). the music is pretty good, the staff is nice, the $5 cover is ok, parking sucks, the bathrooms can be gross sometimes, the guys range from average to hot and 18 to about 40, everyone is drunk, way too many people are on crack (you can buy it in the club if you know who to ask), and the location is perfect. they mark you with Xs and give you wristbands if you're under 21, and keep your ID until you leave, so it's hard to drink underage. however, they accept fake IDs and a lot of people show up drunk. there are drag shows sometimes, which i personally think are a waste of time.

Axis is the Best!

Dear Axis... do Not change anything! Everything about the club is awesome and I love it and so do all the people. For all those who do not like drag queens.... take a hike! You see how packed this club is all the time... that you say something. The DJ's are wonderful and the Drag Queens are Fabulous! This bar will be open forever, I know it. It has a Great reputation and everyone loves it as well as Union! Keep up the good work guys! Love Ya!

Axis is a blast!

I've been going to Axis for over 11 years now and I always have a great time. The DJ's are really great there and always play the newest mixes. The staff and drinks are really great...same quality that you get at Union (same owners). In the 11 years there have been about 5 massive reconstructions that Axis has gone through. They are currently revamping the space and it's already looking really great. They do some very large drag shows there too and they are really top notch performers like Nina West and Virginia West. It's anything you could ask for in a nightclub.

Not impressed...

Visiting from out of state (where I know that my clubs aren't the most upscale) the "regulars" told me to head on over to Axis after my dining experience at either Level or Union. The dress code was lax, the "dance" floor reminded me of a high school cafetorium, and the DJ's were spinning some really wacked out tunes. I mean, while it is a gay club, it doesn't mean we are all rolling on X, the minute we get in. While as a positive, I enjoyed myself in the enclave of the "club within a club" experience. It proved itself to be too small to accomodate any amount of people, as the drag show got under way. To put the icing on the cake, this club catered to an 18 and over crowd!! Not something I was expecting. Oh btw... Where do all of the masculine guys go to hang out? Obviously they seem to overlook this spot. All in all, the club could use a little revamping... Perhaps it's hit or miss on different nights, or times of the year. Might be a nice night to dance the night away, with your drunk buddies (OSU regulars perhaps?), just to pass the time away. But as far as being on the map for a hot night spot, it's just a matter of convenience....
