Trying to be something it's not

by rbscherer

There are cities in which a club such as Escape belongs--New York, London, Paris. Unfortunately, Minneapolis is not one of those cities. In an effort to act like a club that belongs in a swankier city, Escape just becomes a parody of itself. The clientele are laughable, and the staff and management take themselves far too seriously.

To enjoy a slice of genuine Minneapolis nightlife, head to the Block E bars with no cover and less pretension. Better yet, don't bother with Block E at all!

Good Thursdays

by girlfunk

I hear the weekends are pretty dead, so head there Thursday if you like a good crowd and very, very inexpensive cover (FREE) and drinks ($1 wells). Love the hip-hop beats, and should I mention again, super cheap drinks? If you don't like a mixed crowd (all race/ethnicity), then go somewhere else, but if you don't care and just wanna have a good time, Escape is the place for Thursday nights.

• Pros: Drinks
• Cons: Younger crowd 18-25

We were NOT impressed!

by rollmeover

We were not impressed! Staff was rude and not helpful in any way! We came to have fun and spend some money, but by the service we received I don't think they wanted us there or our money. Bathrooms were filthy, music was boring and the dance floor was sticky with broken glass in every area. Most "upscale" nightclubs that I've been to don't allow people on the dance floor with drinks.

Never will visit again!!!

• Pros: none
• Cons: staff, dirty
