Polo Club (Closed Permanently)

(56 Ratings)
Possibly the most wild and crazy bar in New England
An outrageously fun bar known for featuring more than 50 original drinks, including the "Dirty Sex on My Face" martini. Claims to have the best female impersonators and the best theme night parties in the tri-state area. Also, the Polo was voted the best gay bar two years running by the Hartford Advocate.

Not too bad

Not a bad spot to go to if you're in Hartford. Thursdays are my favorite night. It's more college style with a younger crowd. The music is geared toward radio hits and top 40 stuff. A little reggae, Rihanna, Gaga, ect. All the drinks are half priced before 11pm. There's only one drag show. It's a mixed crowd. Fridays are latin night. The music is mostly latin with a few "oldies but goodies" rnb thrown in. There's three drag shows which can be kind of an overkill. Mostly an urban crowd. Saturdays are "white night" lol. All techno beats and pop music. Again 3 drag shows. Thursdays really are the best if you enjoy a little bit of everything.

Thursdays are the best

I've been living in Hartford for 2 years now but I just started going around Feb of 2013. I'm pretty late to the scene but so far their Top 40 thursdays is the best night. Friday is Latin music. I enjoy latin music but I cannot take a whole night of it. Plus the DJ on Friday plays the same songs over and over. Saturday is their house music night.. I would certainly recommend the Thursday nights. The music is just sooooooo good. Plus its free on Thursdays and half off on drinks.

What Hartford gas to offer

I think if one considers that this club is in Hartford, CT, and not in a condensed and competitive city like New York or San Fransisco, it would be one of the best for its genre in the area. The venue is cheap, the drinks are slightly expensive, and the immediate residential area is not amongst the most desirable list, but the club itself maintains a safe and intense entertaining environment with a strong history that supports it. The drag shows are very funny and exciting. I always enjoyed this place even when I would go solo, and would bring my out of town friends there any time.
