Barfly was the first of many upscale clubs to open in Downtown Minneapolis. Many of the original partiers left here to go the the next newest thing, which is what they'll do.
Barfly is still kickin though! Rather than depending on steady dance nights, the club made a switch and regularly brings in big name dance music acts. They also have "The Loft" upstairs for large concerts and private events. It is a huge club with a modern, trendy interior and a large dance floor. They play live loud Top 40 and dance music nightly with live music on Thursdays.

This place is literally a dump. I have never seen a bar advertised as "upscale" yet appear like it came straight out of a truck stop. Some idiot obviously could not pass up on this awful space after the other club owners said no thanks. There is little to no seating, tables are sparse and you have to manage your way through the entire dance floor to get to the main bar. The bathrooms are atrocious and look like they have never been updated or cleaned. Last time I was there the toilet paper was out and they had people using brown paper towels. Pretty upscale huh? The people there can be OK, but only on a big night. It is normally pretty dead and there is a lot of trash and older crowd people who show up. Much of the staff is rude and belligerent...bartenders are assholes. The staff also hires skanks or fugly go-go dancers to prance around like drunk whores. The only reason this place gets 2 stars instead of 1 is that they have decent drink specials, which is their only draw.

I enjoy being able to go somewhere, dress up classy, and party with my girls without having a bunch of loser guys staring at us the whole time from every single angle. The people who go here are classy, which is why I enjoy myself.

I usually hate clubs, but this place was pretty awesome. I just moved here a few months ago and my roommate dragged me. Good dance floor, and the drink specials were great!

I love this place! It's nice to have a dance club where people dress up and actually DANCE! The drinks were good, the bar staff was very friendly and overall the atmosphere was fun. I don't know what everyone else was saying- I had a blast!

The bar area kind of bites, not much seating at the bar, so if that's full you have to sit at a low table in an odd little nook. Their tap beer tasted horrible. Their dancefloor was fun also long as there were people out there but most of the time it was empty and people lounged on the furniture and did nothing, and then left after 10 minutes.
