So you're wondering... where are all the shirtless circuit boys? Where are the drag queen divas? Where can I still hear a DJ spank that old gay anthem that works the dance floor into a sweaty frenzy? Velocity is dishing up all that and then some in that funky old warehouse off of I-77 and Morehead. Although the local jocks who spin here know how to keep the regular glamazons and pretty boys happy, Velocity also hosts some of the hottest national and international DJs that roll through the South.

Slap on your gay pride and check out a club so big there's sure to be a spot for everyone in your entourage -- black, white, straight, gay and everything in between. There's a bar or a beer tub at every turn, a non-smoking lounge for your health-conscious friends, a patio for nature lovers, a game room for your competitive pals and a dance floor that's got its own zip code. Open minds are always welcome. -- Lesa Kastanas
