Quite a dive. Cheap drinks, but way too crowded. There was barely room to move around the night I was there. Being a newbie to the club scene, I don't know whether this is normal, but it was rather unpleasant. The area outside of the club is sketchy to an extreme. Once you pass through the doors to the outside you feel like you're on the wrong side of the tracks. It's not so bad inside. But the outside made my skin crawl and made me wish I had a can of mace. Overall, not a pleasant experience.

It was a pretty alright place. The drag show was good, but got kind of stale after awhile and one of the drag queens was rude to me because she thought that I wasnt tipping anyone when I was. For the most part, it was a good spot to be at.

One of the city's oldest and most underground gay dance clubs. This club existed when gay bars were dark and seedy and your safety was questionable and not guaranteed. A lot has changed in the past 30 years, unfortunately The Dock has not. They continue to charge a cover which is absolutely ridiculous in Cincinnati given all the other free entertainment that exist in the gay Arena. And. It has become nothing more than a rundown Cash Cow for the owners. Go elsewhere.

Changes are here ! Come see the new improved The Dock Complex . If you say new and improved at the door you will receive free entry ! The Dock Complex has been open 34 yrs . The first Cincinnati gay pride was held in the back of the club. The club gave gay people a place to be who they are in a safe setting in a time where it was not so safe . We are celebrating 34 years April 28th. We welcome you to come and see the new and improved Dock Complex .

UGH. This poor place is sooooooooo tired. It is seriously stuck in the early 90's. Dark and dank. You want THE place to go...head up Walnut St to OTR and go to Below Zero/Cabaret. Waaaaayyyyy better atmosphere, location is hip/trendy (and safe), better crowd...and get this...NEVER a cover. Get there early to get into the show (You DO NOT want to miss it at 1130 on Fri/Sat notes...and it is standing room only and often times there is a wait to get up there). Seriously, I CANNOT believe people still go to The Dock.

Went in there feeling pretty good one night because I heard they were opened until 4 am. Staff was incredibly rude and someone stole my cell phone. All in about 15 minutes, if that tells you anything about the place and people. Trash. Hours are wrong on the page and you can never get a hold of anyone.

Stopped by this place for the first time around 2:30am they insisted all 4 of us pay full 7 cover charge even though they were no longer serving drinks. Then they closed the at 3am despite claiming to stay open to 4am. so they basically robbed us. Very rude staff management and a ripoff.
