Let it all out at Backstreet!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I pulled into a strip mall. Sandwiched between a chinese place and white castle I was skeptical. BUT... I was surprised that it was actually a good experience. Very diverse crowd on this night, plenty of places to sit and people watch. Great music, cute boys and decent drink prices. The club room reminded me a bit of "Babylon" from 'Queer as folk'. Overall, good spot to check out if you are looking for a club environment.

Hot Music, Hot Boys, WOW

Recently went to Backstreet, Extremely Friendly Staff, was informed there have been many changes in staff and management in the past 6 months. Danced all night on the Lighted Dance Floor. Very Reasonable Drink Prices, Cover was Fairly Cheap too ($5 for 21+) Music was top notch. Top40 Remix and Gay Flared Dance Tracks! Hot Sweaty Men Everywhere. Just when it was too hot to bear a jet of Co2 came down from the ceiling cooling the whole room off instantly.
