Editorial Review for Area 51 – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
The expansive, two-story club used to appeal mostly to the black-eyeliner set, but now caters to a more mainstream crowd (though children of the night are still welcomed and prevalent on certain nights). It's an 18 and over club, so expect to see some youthful hipsters making the scene.
The Draw
Two spacious dance floors and plentiful seating can be found upstairs and down. The club has separate, all-ages areas that include pool tables and bars that serve only non-alcoholic beverages (sodas, juices); two bars in the 21 and over areas serve all the necessary adult drinks and are connected by a stairway to keep cocktails away from the younger patrons. The adult sections also feature pool tables and dart boards. An outdoor patio provides a good place to cool-off and socialize.

So I have never done this before so bear with me k... I'm new to the Wyoming area and wanted to check out the gay club scene. Only problem was we had 2 girls that are not 21 yet, so we decided to go to area 51 since that was the only place anyone knew where to go. The first time we went was on a saturday night, not gay night at all but I have to say it was fun... The music was a good mixture of some older music mixed with todays. Different... Then we tried Friday night cause that was suppose to be gay night. Well it wasn't but still we had some fun. The music was of the now hip hop stuff and I have to say I enjoyed myself. To much of the smokey stuff on the floor though. Even though I couldn't get my drink on I still had fun, not as much as the gay clubs in Cali but I had fun... The younger crowd out here gots some moves ( : So needless to say if your under 21 and want to dance your butts off this is the club to be... those of you that are 21+ , or looking for the gay scene, this is not the place.
Pros: a good place for the youngsters to hang out and dance
Cons: not a gay club, not for 21+
