I've been to a lot of Tampa clubs, but don't think I've heard of this one
Papi's description of the place is correct: I've been there 5-6 times. The "2AMer" thing is funny when it comes to this club because no one's there yet at 2. It doesn't pop until about 3:15-3:30 and starts to slow down around 5. Lights usually come on at 6. It's not the type of place most TUSCLers would go to, for quite a few reasons.
