Ehhhh, Charlotte needs to do better. Frfr.

Staff was HELLARIOUS and friendly. Not a big crowd like it use to be but the performers were amazing!

Amazing and fun experience can’t wait for it to reopen

Music could have more variety. The clientele is rather dirty. No cute bartender staff.

I have travel all over the country and I have never been to a bar worst than this. This place is absolutely terrible and they turn people away for no reason. Do not go here and take your patron money elsewhere!

Good service and friendly crowd. Only bad thing was being forced to watch a rap group that looked like 50 year old men perform several songs. People began to leave the floor & I left shortly, but it’s a cool place.

Literally the rudest people you will ever meet. Not worth it at all. Go somewhere else.This is a second review: they literally close whenever they want to. We got there 1:30 on a Friday and they just told us they we closed. They makes no sense. If you’re open till 3am, why are you closing at 1:30??? Literally do not come here unless it’s a Saturday. Even then, don’t come till after 1. This place has really gone downhill

Came here for my 21st birthday this past weekend. I was recommended to this club by another friend. Had a great time with my friends and I will be returning! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, music was great (mainly hip hop), the bartender’s were very efficient, security was very polite, and the MC for the drag show was hilarious and set the tone for the rest of the night. Good vibes overall and I cant wait to return with my friends again!

Nobody know if scorps is open again or still closed?

Scorpio is one of the only places I will get a sitter just so I can go out. I hang with a fairly large group and its one of our fave stops. I would have given it 5 stars but the tenders often ignore me. Its a lil awkward cuz they seem so nice so i cant validate that its intentional. We shall see what happens tonight lol.UPDATE: Yeah.... I get ignored every time. I just dont order my own drinks anymore.

Horrible place. Be careful security at the club beats you up if they don’t like you. This place is trash

“Scorpio” Charlotte, North CarolinaCover: $12 (Cash Only)Music: Rap/Hip-HopRatchet Level: MediumWhew chileeee! I finally made it here after a failed trip to Charlotte where I ended up falling in the hotel after a day in the amusement park! Irreverent now, lets break down the club. I arrived around 1am. The line wasn’t long and progressed fast. I am going to fail security. We were patted down before entering. I was wearing a lot of garments and a jacket with something in just about every pocket to include a flask. I was able to bring everything in without my pockets being checked. Honestly after the horrific events in Orlando, FL I challenge venues to step up security for events. After you enter you must sign in on a tablet. It is a local law that requires memberships to enter facilities serving alcohol with no food after a specific time frame. I was education on this topic earlier in the day. The cover charge was cash only with ATMs available. Afterwards there are three doors. The door on your left is the main room. The door forward is a stairwell that leads upstairs to the balcony overseeing the main room and a small bar. The door on the right leads to an outside smoking area with a bar. This venue is a nice size. The DJ was playing all the ratchet hits. The crowd was loving it. There was a good male to female ratio with a diversity in age with everyone for the most part being African-American with a mix of Latino and white. Everyone was vibing. The music was great. Money guns were shooting at the crowd. The hosting was walking around with a mic. I had two drinks at the bar. They were good. The restroom seemed clean. The venue was well kept. I was getting Marquette (ATL) vibes but bigger and better. I danced a lot. No drama. No issues. This was an authentic good time. The people I interacted with were very nice and social. I did feel safe and inclusive. Everyone just wanted to enjoy a night out. This was black gay culture at its best honestly. From the music, drinks, and dancing this is where you want to be. There was seating against the wall with trade posted up on the left, a stage to the front, and VIP section to the side with a dance floor in the middle. If you’re in Charlotte this the the only club you want to hit. I do have to shoutout Argon though (a white gay bar on the other side of town). I went there for a drink before making my way to Scorpio. The staff was very nice with history and rules and spoke highly of Scorpio for a young African-American gay like myself. I hope everyone shares the same, if not better experiences I had. Your favorite critic Shamel Jones. Trust me I’ll be back!

Their website advertised latin night for dia de los muertos but they played almost no latin music. The employees also kept telling us about their haunted house but they had it closed and locked the whole night. It was a let down and I dont see myself going back.

I gave this place two tries. Not a fan of the atmosphere or the vibe here. Music was okay, but the crowd is where it went wrong for me. The drag show was the best part of the night but it’s early on and pretty short. Other than that this place sucked

A time and a laugh.

So I havent been to this place since I left in 2016 the owner was a real piece of work but the place itself was fun I dont know if I would ever go back just because of him and his man I dont know much about the place since then heard some horror stories I wish the place success but doubt I will be back

Awesome place to express yourself and dance the night away with great music and amazing people. Brought my family and friends and we had a great time watching the hostess direct people onto the dance floor and compete for the twerk crown. I will definitely be coming back here next time Im in town.Remember to bring cash as this is a cash bar place. They do have an ATM inside with a $3.75 fee.

I dont know where to begin... But im happy i supported this venue. And to be in a venue with people of all color creeds and nationally was even more gracious. The Dj catered to everyone. Now i never met the owner but thats where it starts. Great job. The owener please dont ever give this place up. Thx u soo much. I relly enjoyed bith Friday and Saturday even tho i lost my GA. ID card lol

Literally the rudest people you will ever meet. Not worth it at all. Go somewhere else.

This nightclub holds onto the I.Ds of under aged guests until they leave. Donald, the owner of Scorpio, intentionally damaged my authentic I.D because I forgot to pick it up before I left his establishment one night. When I came to pick it up a week later when they reopened, I was told by the employees that their policy included damaging the I.Ds of only under aged guests who dont pick them up before they left. They said that it indicated that the guests were too intoxicated to pick it up. I honestly never consumed any drugs or alcohol. They told me that I would have to explain to Donald, the owner, why i didnt pick up my I.D or else it will be damaged. Donald approached me with attitude and disrespect and asked me to explain to him why I forgot it. I told him that I didnt appreciate the way he was speaking to me and that the employees never mentioned their policy and that I forgot my I.D. He walked off into his office after that, then came back out and told me to step outside. He then handed me my I.d almost completely cut in two. The bouncer told me that I needed to leave the property. I walked back to my car and had my mom call to speak with him on three-way with me and she respectfully voiced her concerns. He then tells my Mother that she cant believe everything her son tells her and that I am a liar for saying that I wasnt aware of their policy and hangs up on us.

Everyone was so happy to be there . Good vibes , will be going back for sure !

Pretty good place

I think the best alternative club in NC. Always a large crowd on Saturdays.

Very disappointed. My friends and I arrived at 11pm with the intent of having a good time. I read a lot of reviews and nothing said it was cash only to get in. So it costed $5/person to get in and a $4 ATM charge. Then, we get to the back and go to the bar that had a sign saying cash only bar. Nobody had drinks in their hands and nobody was even at the bar to get drinks because nobody told us up front to get cash out if we wanted drinks. Nobody was dancing, only had their phones out. So my friends and I left, and as we were walking out the people at the front door asked why and then laughed at us which was very rude. Definitely wouldn’t recommend coming here. Also, if you have asthma or anything that causes difficulties breathing, they have a heavy fog machine that can mess with that.

Ive only been here once for Black Gay Pride in 2014. The drag show and performances were really nice. Place gets really crowded the later it gets. At opening its dead, but at least you can get in and relax. Bar tenders were friendly. Ill have to go back again to get more of an impression.

The most fun Ive had in awhile. Lots of space, not overly crowded

First visit 43 years ago. Glad to see you are still here. Good times!

Must go Saturday night. See the drag show its awesome.

Went down with a bach party, do not go here. It’s absolute trash, i felt like i was going to leave in a body bag. If i could give the bartenders a different rating i would give them a 10/10, but the drag show wasnt even a drag show! Ive been to sooo many and they were all fun. This was just skinny dudes dancing and then some wanna be rapper performing. There was no one actually doing a drag performance, i have no idea why they call it that. They booed my friend who was getting married and that was not nice. Typically a real drag show would be supportive and fun of EVERYONE. This place needs either more police, or just needs to shut down. Such a disappointment and a waste of my money. I’d rather jump off a 25 story building.

Cash only bar and not the usual vibe but they have other interesting stuff going on as well. Also Lots of crowd

What looks to be once an okay place to sit down and have a coffee?? Is now littered with poor aesthetic choices in music, lighting and crowd. Performers like August Phillipines in the house cast are rude, uninteresting coke addicts and the bar seems to only bring people in on promise of drink tickets. Ive only heard about scandal and filth before going there a couple months back and the atmosphere did nothing to alleviate that for me. I wish I didnt feel so ashamed of a queer space in my city but its hard not to with what is brought to the table.

Loved the embience. Loved the music and the guests were friendly.

This place desperately NEEDS a new Dj, his music choices are trash nor does he know how to mix, most times people are just standing or sitting because the music is so bi-polar. I’ve never met a dj that when you request a song/genre to be played he will give you the thumbs up AS IF he is going to play it, only for you to NEVER hear what you requested. I think what truly brings in so many people is the drag show because this place is begging for a face lift, the LGBTQ community DESERVES somewhere clean and safe to go to and this place is/has fallen off

Everybody loves to go here. They close later than most clubs. I do wish it was another big LGBT club to choose from though.

My first time going, it was great

Great night club. Great place to go dancing

Went with friends and had a blast! They even offered free draft beer!

Went here for pride, paid $20 cover, 45mins in someone sprays pepper spray right as the building reaches capacity. I left, but Im sure they reopened and gladly took others cover. Funny people that are regulars say this always happens on busy nights.

Had a really nice time. Saturday was cool. Good vibes

The music on saturdays sucks...very disappointed. The dj doesnt know dance music... never going there ever again.

Nice spot to have a good time

What a low life kind of place. I have been offended and wronged one too many times at this establishment. First time I was told that I was a “stupid chink” and yes I mean this in the wrong derogative way against Asians, well tonight I was told that because of my abnormality cause by my bilateral cleft lip birth defect. One of the so claimed security guards told me to go “fix my lip”. That is neither professional or right on a basic human level. I’ve been so hopping mad at the comment that I have called everyone I know to vent and clam down to about the situation but nothing has worked or fixed how I feel. I will not and refuse to support a bar/club that allows people to say such offensive things to their customers. I will NEVER support this place again and strongly urge everyone else looking for a good place to spend an ENJOYABLE evening to elsewhere in the city straight or gray friendly.

A shadow of what it once was,hardly worth the time to go...yet people still hope that the place they once knew will come back to be....

Ive been going since 2009 its still a good club to go to never been on a Friday

Bouncers at this club commit hate crimes towards LGBT folks. Not okay! I would press charges, but I dont have your name. Do not go here! This place is problematic, homophobic, transphobic, racist, elitist, ablist, etc. Patrons cause issues with customers for no reason.

I have fun most of the time here

Scorpios is alright, if you like hip hop and rnb then Saturdays are for you. Mix crowds and different types of music, Sundays. Fridays are for the cheap beer.

Didnt to much enjoy seems like everybody is here for the drag sho,w no ones dancing except one person.. Drinks ok ok location... Hope they improve the music selection

Most awful dangerous LGBT club in Charlotte. Expect to see people being beaten and abuse with no consequence. Drugs and under age drinking is rampant.Has been this way for the past three years. Spend your time and money else where if you care about your safety or mind.

Had fun the whole night I like the music choice, they got great drinks

Really cool, never seen drama there. Great music.

Sad to see such an iconic bar dying a slow death due to bad owners/management

The people in there including the staff was very friendly to me considering it was my first time entering their club. I would definitely love to go back there one of these weekends.

Im 19 which means they put xs on my hands and an underaged band on my wrist at the door. THAT I dont mind. What I mind is that they took my license too! Ive never been to a club that went to that amount of trouble. The reason they take your license is when youre waiting in line to leave they check to see if your xs are still intact and your bracelet on. If you dont have one or the other guess what: you have no license or I.D. either. They keep it. I broke none of the rules and here I am still without my license. Well, long story short I was waiting in line at the front desk to leave and I suppose the clerk didnt notice I was underaged so he yelled at me quite rudely that the exit was the other way. So I left forgetting that hours earlier I had left my license. Once you leave the club you arent allowed back in without paying the RIDICULOUSLY high entry fee of $15.So my license is now an hour away from me since I drove in from out of town and I had to order a new one which wont be here for a week or even two. I am PISSED. Dont go here if youre underaged. its not worth all the trouble.

I actually like atmosphere.. Different from what use to.

Prices to get in shouldn’t be that much considering, but I guess it’s a good price for young ppl, the drinks are cheap and good too, I’ve been going for 3 years now I really think they should invest in some hookahs, they would get a lot more business

Great place to party and have fun

Charlotte only lgbt club

Always fun!

For the younger crowd very rude unhelpful staff I will never go here again
