Reviews from our guests
Steve Prinsen
4 months agoBest club around, although I might be a little biased since I've been DJing here for 25+ years
Schubba
year agoLove this place. Halloween is the best night to go. Everybody goes all out with costumes. Doesn't matter the weather, people come out. The DJ's here have been killing every night for years. The drinks are made by the best bartender in the area. Not expensive so you end up having 3 or 4. Parking isn't the greatest but the line is always out the door.
Blood Beast
9 months agoI absolutely love everything about vertex! It’s got amazing staff, great vibes, and great drinks. 10/10 would def recommend for fellow alternative,goth, emo, etc
Tatted Taurus
10 months agoThis place is fun and fiesty. They stay open late and have a pool table. There are different floors inside, good music, and friendly & attentive staff. It's more of a goth scene but everyone is very accepting and friendly.
Jessica Betelak

Avian Gellar
year agoLove it here!! The owner/bartender Patty is amazing! Dave the bouncer is awesome! Eric the bartender upstairs is awesome as well! The crowd is always different but you definitely see a mix of everyone. The drinks are really good prices.
Bussa (BusslerHustler)
2 months agoI'm pretty sure a group of goths called me a tard when I went there and now I never wanna go back again. but I did bum a marlboro from a guy on the patio so it wasn't a horrible night
DIYTourNetwork 717
year agoAmazing place for goths and punks! I been all around the country, glad there's still the few in our country that keeps these places going! It takes a community these days.
Rev. Nadine Morsch (The Bootleg Bodhisattva)
6 months agoVertex is more like a house party than a "club". All are welcome. Safe, fun, affordable, full of beautiful weirdos. A perfect place for misfits & creatures of the night. The owner and workers are truly wonderful people. This place deserves 10 stars tbh. Come dance, drink, play pool, darts or chess. Have a blast with us!
Riley Schillaci
3 months agoThe bartenders are friendly and don't snub people, and the patrons' fashion choices are tops. THINGS TO KNOW -It's not a petting zoo where you can touch people -There's a lot of introverts who just like to dance alone -Many people are seriously there to dance and not hook up -Does not serve IPAs -Respect the culture
