Masque

They just updated a few things inside so it looks so much better. No more purple bubbles!!! Also updated security features. They have live performances often and even fashion shows by local designers. The drink prices are ridiculously high but i think thats normal.

Its a small club, but they have really done some nice things with it. There's a bar and stage downstairs and a good size dance floor upstairs. The first floor uses some great lighting and design to create an awesome atmosphere. Music was pretty good. The dance floor could use more ventilation. With the floor half full it was pretty hot and stuffy, but there is an outdoor smoking area so you can go out and cool off. Clean private bathrooms. Much better then most clubs. Next time I'm in town I'll probably go again.

I had a great time here for the most part. I didn't have any problems getting drinks or having good conversation. I rate it four stars for two reasons. The entrance fee was a ridiculous $30. The other reason being that there were way more straight people here then gay people. I'm not gay myself but it is important to mention. They also played to much techno for my taste, but that's based on personal preference. Overall it is pretty nice. It really is one of the only places to go in Dayton. Whenever you wonder "What can I do tonight?" this place is usually a option, and a solid one for the most part.

If you're looking for the college crowd and freshly turned 18 club, this is it. Good shows and a great dance floor. However, drinks are weak and overpriced, but that comes with the overhead. Some of the liquors appear to be watered down as well. Staff is generally great. If you're over 30, chances are you'll get weird looks.

My first time being at a gay club. So at first it was a little awkward. But as the night went on it got much better. Loved the drag show! That was so cool. Adventures upstairs and enjoyed the dance floor they had. Went with my straight friend, which I assume people thought we were together. But I want to go back real soon! Next time being a bigger group of friends!

Enjoyed going here. I always feel safe with my ladies friends. Wish there was more diversity of events, like theme nights and etc, however I don't go often to know if there was night like that. For the most part still a nice place to go to and parking lot is easy to get in and out of.

Usually, I love Masque. Tonight, that all changed when me and and group of friends/chosen family were violently removed from the club because a woman verbally assaulted me as well as physically assaulted me. I was asked to leave with no explanation except the fact that the owner stated that I had to go. Now, as a highly educated person, this simply did not seem right especially when my job is to advocate for those who are often marginalized and denigrated by those with privilege. A friend came to my defense after I was physically picked up and escorted out simply for asking why are we were being kicked out when we did not initiate any interaction with the young woman or respond in any negative way. Three bystanders even told security that we were not at fault. Upon learning of this one of my friends was placed in a choke hold by a performer at the club after responding to me being picked up by the bouncer. They are in mental and physical disarray due to these incidences. I understand this is a safe and fun place for many people, but today ended those feelings for me and three other people. We will also share our experiences as to prevent any future events from happening that are similar. As someone who works diligently everyday to advocate and support those who are marginalized I am appalled by the behavior of the staff, namely the DJ, the performer, and the owner who refused to speak to us. Please be aware of bigoted people who frequent these spaces as well as owners who believe they are so important and above the "lay people" who attend that they don't have to speak with them.

A lot of fun even if your not gay. I LOVE the first floor. I love the hip hop music and how packed it is on Wednesday night!! I also like that its only 5$ 🙂 the 2nd floor is also great to fist pump to some pretty good house music. Tons of great experiences. Check it out
