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.

Had fun, but what a dump!

Perhaps it's because I'm used to gay bars in much larger/more cosmopolitan cities, but I couldn't believe how dumpy this place was inside! It looked like a VFW Hall with strobe lights. The drinks were a little pricey, the drag show was short, but all-n-all, had a good time and met some nice people. I would return, if not enthusiastically.

Amazing

First club I ever went to ever and it was amazing! Lots of fun and dancing and lots of friendly people. I would and am going to go there again and again and again :D Was a little expensive but well worth it and Pants Off is the best drink ever!

Rip-off

$10 cover and overpriced drinks for a run-down bar? The "dance bar" doubles as the drag stage. The only redeeming thing about this place is that it is reasonably well attended; but don't come here expecting to find a good time.

Polo Club

Its a fun place if your new in town...but if your a resident over time it gets boring because you see the same people everytime and sometime the DJ is not so great. So in a way its a gamble because sometime the music is great but sometimes not... If your gonna go on a friday is Latin Night...If your gonna go on Saturday is a mix night but mostly techno...Hope this helps

Hit or Miss Club

Friday nights are full of lots 18 and under so be careful, plus its Latin Night. There is not enough security for the amount of people they let in. There are usually fights inside and outside the club on Fridays. Saturdays are fun. An older crowd with a nice mixture of people. Music could be better but the drag shows are fun to watch.
