axis schmaxis
This place is way overrated. The DJ's can't spin a proper tune. The scene is way too bitchy homo and the drinks are mediocre. Drag performers are hit or miss.
It's Axis
You can't hate axis. It's apart of the High St scene. I LOVE the summer weekends from about 11:30 till 3:00 when the gays are parading up and down high street cutting up into that little alleyway or coming across the street from Union to go party at axis. It's a scene that makes you very happy to live in Columbus. a city where we actually HAVE an area to be ourselves in. Not many places can match that. The only other place where gay ghettos are that concentrated and THAT visible are in the larger cities (Ny,LA,Chicago) Anyway.. Axis is cool. I used to frequent this place A LOT back in the day. The energy in this place can't be matched anywhere in Ohio IMO. It can be a little bitchy at times but that kinda adds to the fun. Now that the GAGA era has hit when i do go i see the kids in costume (angel wings, big glasses, pointy clothing) dancing the night away with glow sticks, bubble blowers and whistles which i think it some sort of gay awesome! I can't not like this place. It's a part of Columbus as much as Donatos pizza.
Good place to dance
Starts to get busy between 1200 and 1230, balcony is ciol, dance floor us fun too.
Sadly the only gay dance club for guys in Columbus
This place is better than other gay dance clubs in Ohio, however it is not great. On a Friday or Saturday night it is the only dance club that a young gay guy has to go to and for that reason alone people go here. The dance floor is not huge and the inside isn´t too pretty. The drag shows are mediocre and the music is not very good. The best tip though is to avoid the cops on Fridays....they´re notoriously out of control and authoritative.
Axis dance and show club
Axis is a unique entertainment experience. The DJ's spin high energy, New York Style dance n club music.

Huge enclosed patio bar w/full service bar. $6,CD giveaways, all walks welcome, primarilythe 20's college crowd.
