There are no handicap parking spaces in front of the bar. There are 15-20 free parking spaces in front of the bar. There is also a paid parking lot across from the bar. This bar is #Lgbtqiaplus friendly. The employees are friendly and helpful in this bar. Martin's world has all the cool #Lgbtqiaplus stuff for sale. You can also buy a shirt made by Martin for $20 dollars. The dance floor is large and can accommodate around 100 plus people. The drag shows are held every Friday and Saturday night at 12:30 pm. The drag performers are awesome, and the performers are very talented. George is the best bartender in the bar. The best drink to get is liquid marijuana. If you get to Scandals before 10:30 and you are 21 plus, it will be $5 dollars. If you get at the bar after 10:30 pm, it will cost you $12. The dance music is awesome, and the drinks are priced right. Overall, I am quite happy with my experience at Scandals Nightclub. I saw a lot of brides to be partying here, and they had a great time here.

We were here for a Drag brunch and had so much fun. The performers were wonderfully talented, the bartenders and staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. I believe it was catered by Biscuit Head. There was some minor trouble with the mics cutting in and out, but other than that, it was a great show!

I’ve been to scandals many times and I gotta say it’s my favorite club in Asheville, although I went there yesterday night and the man in the red shirt working in the little gift shop area was extremely disrespectful to me as a trans man. He referred to me as “she” many times after me and my friends kept correcting him and then he asked to take our picture then told me “I did a great job of not looking like a man” after he asked my friends, and I quote, “ITS a man??” As a trans man trying so desperately to pass, just haven’t had enough money to get top surgery and have a larger chest even in my loose fitting clothes, find this so disgusting and disrespectful. Especially since this is supposed to be a lgbtq friendly club. I’m definitely weary about coming again know this establishment lets their staff treat people as such.

Came for the NYE balloon drop night. Alright experience. The place was jam packed with people and they only had two people working the main bar, so it could take up to 20 min of standing there just to get a drink. I'm very patient and don't mind waiting but I feel if they had known how many people would be there since they did pre order tickets they could have accommodated their staffing better, and the bartenders seemed very overwhelmed too. The drinks themselves were not very good I think because of that rush, to the point where I was just sipping on them because I really didn't like them but still wanted to drink. Kind of killed the vibe. Other than that the music was good and the drag show was fun. Maybe on a different night it would have been better.

Scandals is such a fun place. The staff are amazing, the drag shows are always a must see! I was there last night & today read a review from someone saying they were turned away and treated really bad by the bartender. I saw this happen around 2:30 when it was almost closing time & the bride was very disrespectful to the lady bouncer. She called her several names/cussed her out and only when she shot the bouncer a bird, did the bouncer respond back with the same attitude. I was very impressed with how the staff handled this as quickly and quietly as possible. And as far the bridal party.... They may have been 50 sheets to the wind but they’re were only maybe 15 of them. Scandals isn’t perfect, but people shouldn’t leave bad reviews without telling the whole story. A lot of us go there frequently and know the staff well. Scandals.. we love you!!!! -EDIT- LOVE the staff, carla more. Everyone is so sweet, drinks are amazing, vibes are amazing and the club is lit.

What a night! For our small bachelorette party of 4 it was perfect. The performers were flawless and the music was incredible. Drinks take a while to get but the TVs have shows to watch to keep your mind off of waiting. Definitely worth going to. You won't be disappointed!

I had so much fun here! DJ Eric was awesome, and the bar staff was super friendly. The music had a great mix of modern songs and more nostalgic 2000s and 2010s BANGERS. Getting to dance to "Every Time We Touch" by Cascada definitely healed part of my inner tween. The drag performers were the highlight of the night for my group. Viktor, Nova, and Sya are incredible! My *only* critique is that I wish that there was a menu with prices available at the bar. I wasn't planning on breaking the bank on drinks, but that's my own fault for not asking ‍ Still, I had a great time and would love to come back!

So I just came from the Halloween costume contest and I did the scariest and I won but they didn't tell you that even though you won the scariest you didn't win anything else they didn't even call my name that's what's terrible about it. Even some of the staff said that I should have won but it's rigged and it's all about how much skin you show. They don't care about scary or the most creative it's all about sex with this club that's all. And as a patron of this place just to let you know I will never ever be back and I will let other people know that if they want to go up there you better off going somewhere else that's just my thing
