It’s like the owners were building a club, they have the plywood down for the flooring and the walls, then did about 40% of the drywall, and threw a bar in near the stage and said “eh this is good enough.”
I think the cover was something like $20 which also included all the draft beer you wanted. Which I hope you like draft beer because that was all you were going to get unless you wanted a Red Bull or bottled water.
The area may have gone downhill in the past 25 years, or maybe it has improved? But it still sounds sketchy and rough.
I gave up on Club E a long long time ago. Very visible gang activity within a block or two. High prices and low low mileage. Not at all surprised by OP knowing the area... but it would be an important distinction if it was 5 gang bangers or club patrons or some combination.
