The Max, DC's, and Flixx
Postby nittanylionstorm07 »
I've only lived here since overdue June, but I own been to all three. Â The max was originally my favorite because it seemed easier to convene people, since each prevent had its own clientele...but since I found a group of friends, it's changed. Â I really, really, really like the atmosphere at DC's, but the several times I've gone there in the past 2 months, it seems as if it is on death's doorstep (though they have great beer prices and selection...yay Pacifico!), so Flixx seems the best option right now with the right mix of people.

When it opened its doors in 1978, it wasn’t the first place in town to cater to the gay society in Omaha. Other establishments included The Diamond Bar, Stage Door, Cave and Omaha Mining Company.
The building they chose to reveal their dance club had a long history including being place to the Silver Tap Club, Bicentennial Saloon and Upstairs Downstairs Lounge among others. The territory had two dance floors and was large enough to accommodate 1,000 people. Its owners went all out to make it the premier dance club in town. That including hiring the matching company that did the lighting for Saturday Night Fever.
The Hollywood Disco even had its retain restaurant called Chaplin’s which was located in a smaller room within the club. Chaplin’s was separated from the dance floor by a glass wall that allowed diners to watch the party next door. Keeping with its theme, it had a 1930s Art Deco vibe, prints of the famous silent thespian and even played his movies on a loop.
