What People Are Saying About Axis

The Scene – Stylish, trendy crowds that gravitate toward alternative, and loud, music. Don't expect pastel colors, laser shows and spinning balls. Do expect different, like Mondays, when it's gay night, featuring male go-go dancers. Not to be out-done, heterosexuals have their chance to party on Sunday, when amateur strip night begins at 11pm. – – The Draw – DJ's spin alternative tunes from the '80s on Friday, while Saturday is taken over by the '90s and a live broadcast on WFNX. Soul and funk are featured during the week, with Wednesday reserved for live national and…

AWESOME

by daniellesmyname

I was at the Axis for a show in January and it was awesome! It was an awesome show which is probably why it added to the awesomeness of the place, but it was fun! The security gaurds were really nice and made the wait for the show more enjoyable. The parking was good because the sox were away, and the food wasnt bad. I definately think is was worth the 12 dollars it cost to get in!

Oh and yea it was crowded, but that adds to the fun!

  • Pros: Good employees, Good atmosphere, Inexpensive

Not bad

by dre900

Went there a few weeks ago on a Friday night. The crowd is decent and so are the drinks. Bartenders aren't very attentive though. The music was Hip Hop/Reggae which was really really good. You can also cross over to Avalon for free. Crowd was young and a little wild! I will be going back again.

  • Pros: Great music (hip hop)
  • Cons: Too Loud
3.5 Star Rating: Average

Concerts are AWESOME at Axis!!

by disableddude617

Disabled Dude here with the disability-facter review for todays disabled-man on the go! I went to Axis on July 23rd for the Taproot concert. AWESOME! If you love Heavy Metal or Alternative Rock, this concert was for you. The 3 opening acts were as hard as they come now-a-days. And Taproot had an awesome mosh-pit going. I kept yelling for the crowd to "CALM DOWN!" "YOU'RE OUT OF CONTROL!" but that was to be funny. Truth is if it wasn't for my bad hip I'd be in there! Women were cute too. Bathrooms were clean. Why do people hate this place?? It's a cool club. Like Bill's bar only bigger.

  • Pros: Concerts ROCK!!, Waitresses real cool!, Crowd comes to party!
  • Cons: needs more concerts, careful of mosh-pit

Keep an eye on the Sox's schedule--when the team's playing across the street, parking is a nightmare and it's wise to take public transportation.
