3.0 of 5 stars. Similar to the matrix. A good place if you are determined to go clubbing, but it is a bit intimidating and the setup is a bit uninviting. However, if you are a veteran, I'd go here.

This club is cool. The music is good, the crowd is good. I use to go to the Palace-now that is closed. I came to the Roxy and it was like a Palace reunion! Other than that I liked it.

good club to go to if you're underage, but if you're of age i recommend going somewhere else. The dancefloor is way to pack, i had at least 4 drinks spilled on me and the crowd is kinda rude
