A truly alternative venue. I recommend the pyro show upstairs. Actually, I recommend all of Exit.

Dance the night away upstairs but stick to getting ur beverages at the first floor bar . The bathroom is real good for art selfies

2 free burlesque shows every last Friday of the month! 10:30 & 1am. Always a good time, sexy gals, funny folks, cheap booze.
