Customer Reviews
The Scorpio has a rating of 4 out of 5 based on over 597 reviews on Google
My girlfriend wanted to go out and have a good time on Saturday. She just wanted to be in a club dancing and I could not think of a place, but then I thought of Scorpios. That community is always full of life and a lot of fun. We arrived shortly before 8:00 p.m. and found out they were having a drag show at 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. and a male review from 9:00 to 10:00. So needless to say we had a blast. The new location is beautiful, it has a gorgeous view of the city from the rooftop bar. There's a bar in their lounge area and a bar out on the veranda and a bar in the event room where the stage is. Great energy in this place and great ambiance. So much fun! All of their staff was so friendly and nice!
A friend and I visited the new Scorpio location to celebrate his birthday, and we had a great time. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making the night feel special. Our favorite part of the club was definitely the rooftop—with its beautiful view of the city, it’s the perfect spot to sip a cocktail and people-watch. Parking is limited- best to take a Lyft
The second time we have been here. The music and atmosphere was great! The staff is friendly and helpful! Listened to some great House music. It is a fun mixed crowd of people that makes you feel comfortable and at home!
Okay. I'll be the elephant in the room. As a gay black woman (which I hate I'm labeling myself just to justify this review); its simply not as bad as the reviews are making it. Yes, I'm only giving it 4 stars because its not the OLD Scorpios, it lacks luster and the young kids dont tip our queens. Also, what happened to being able to use cash at the bar? Yes, they have an atm that spits out random $2 bills. I guess I'm old. They do have different rooms that play different genres of music. I enjoyed myself in the "urban" area that was outside. Would I trade this place for the same record playing cash bar we loved? Yes, but its not as bad as we make it seem. Can they change the location of which the play country and pop music? YES! Because the patio was crowded. No one is dancing to whatever music they're playing in the country and pop area expect the drunk gays. Are they trying to change the demographics? Yup. But some of them folks been there even in the old Scorpios. Do we want this to be a spot for random folks to "experience queer" culture? No. Why not make this a space for those who need an escape? I'll never know. We dont get many spaces even for us. Would this be a regular space for me? No. However, I enjoyed my time being there. As you should. If its just for that night.
The people here really take care of you and look after you and make sure you’re always OK even after the club closes. It’s definitely my safe space and I love coming here. Every chance I get 10 out of 10!! ❤️❤️❤️
I was looking for the old Scorpios since I am not from Charlotte because the vibes and DJ was EVERYTHING. BUT this new Scorpios I have to agree with most of the reviews about the DJ the vibes and music is not very good! Nice club tho. You can see that they really invested to make it upscale. I usually video for followers since I have large following but it was not even worth bragging about as far good music. But everything ain't for everyone which I get but the old Scorpio was a bop and you left feeling good and amped up. Vibe is def different I had brought friends and other content creators with me but it was eeehhh it was ok I guess. We ended up leaving earlier than usual because the vibe wasn't hitting.
Overall, really great if you wanna dance or spread out and chat. Love that there is multiple areas. Security is a little intense at times and honestly the Queens dont have much room to perform... more like just strut around and collect cash. Would like there to be more performances. The drink prices are high compared to other gay bars. Some of the community that goes here can be a bit brusque and pretentious but over all met some really great people here.
