Kerry CrawfordJanuary 15, 2013Prince is Mr. Raiford's spirit animal. (Go after 11 p.m. for the best crowd and bring at least $20 in cash - the cover ranges from $10 to $20 depending on the night.) Read more

Bobby KennedyFebruary 13, 2016A hilariously good time. Colored lights everywhere (including the floor), a haze machine, classic R&B dance tunes, and a periodic appearance in costume by Raiford himself.Upvote1Downvote- Alan HedrickDecember 8, 2015Best Kept Secret in Memphis.

Nash PleasantDecember 22, 2018Dance to the hits from the past and present in this classic disco. Drink forty’s and enjoy a live night out with friends. No drinks on the dance floor!UpvoteDownvote- Sharbour RayDecember 8, 2018#Disco - Need I say more? However, bring cash as this is a cash only establishment. But the disco tunes will keep you and your friends on the floor all night!UpvoteDownvote

Robin FernandezOctober 27, 2013Always a fun time. Sure it's loud, crowded and they only take cash. Yes the cover is $15 but the vibe is still fun. It's not ghetto and crazy. Go for a good time.UpvoteDownvote
