Vertex Night Club

My absolute favorite place to be. Patty and erik are the sweetest people ever. DJ darkwave is extremely talented and will have you dancing til your feet hurt. I have never had a bad time there. LOVE IT!!!

An under appreciated gem of Rochester. I only rank at three stars because it’s so niche which isn’t a bad thing. If your into the goth, alt, 80s, techno, cyberpunk, video drome, Kafka scene then this place is perfect. Saturday nights are a great time of your looking to dance to depeche mode and meet some interesting folks. I can see why some people would be turned off by this place but once your in its incredibly relaxed despite what looks like a dress code (which is totally not mandatory). Very cool two floor layout, very friendly staff! «patty will remember your name and what you like to drink», great Dj’s, all around fun time. So try some thing new east avers!!!

Awesome place. Erik and Patty are the best. Miss this place incredibly since I moved, and can’t wait to see them again.

The only reason why I gave it 4 star’s just cuz the people were really friendly. Didn’t know anything about this club just saw it on the map and desided to go. Definitely not my type of club. It’s more of a goth/​techno place. But if u like that kind of stuff u like it. But other than that it was cool

My all time favorite club in Rochester. The drinks are cheap and tasty, 90% of the people are friendly, and the music cannot be beat. Whether you’re there for dancong, drinking, or socializing, Vertex is probably the best place to do it.

Patty makes the best Bloody Mary ever. And the people are friendly.

Welcome to where you go when you have had enough of the mass market scene that runs on East Ave.
Catering to those with an alternative flair for life, Vertex plays anything from Goth to New Wave, with a little Industrial, Techno and Metal thrown in for good measure.
The dress codes varies from the classic all black, the hot topic crowd and the just got out from the ball tuxedo and prom dress. in other words, anything goes and nobody will give you a hard time.
Two bars, on located downstairs near the entrance, the other being up stairs near the dance floor.
Drinks are reasonable in price.
Outside deck for the smokers and those trying to cool down after hammering the dance floor.
Fridays and Saturdays tend to be my favourite nights there, but Thursdays can be quite the blast too! Wednesdays they tend to have guest DJ’s.
Theme nights are not uncommon, for details keep tabs on their MySpace page:

This is a predominantly goth club playing predominantly metal remixes and industrial music. If you’re a fan of pop or hip hop or look like you came out of a Banana Republic store you probably won’t like it or feel like you fit in here. The people here are really cool and friendly for the most part and it’s really fun to people watch here. Admission is a mere $ 3 and drinks are reasonably priced. The place is housed in a really cool looking house set back from the main street nestled downtown next to the Haro East Ballroom. They have a club/​dance area on the second floor, a more laid back bar/​lounge area on the first floor, and a large covered patio area outside for smoking. Although I’m not really into this scene as much as I was in college I can still appreciate the uniqueness of the space and can easily give it 4 stars anyway.

I don’t go out a lot and when I do I’m generally awkward and uncomfortable. My friends decided to take me out to Vertex one night and I was really nervous.
I got there and everybody was wearing all black, except for me in a bright green skirt. I was expecting to feel uncomfortable all night. But I didn’t!
Everybody there was so nice and welcoming. Everybody danced in their own style and nobody was just there pretending to be cool.
There’s a nice outdoor area, and the drinks aren’t expensive.
It is mainly a goth club, but everyone is welcomed there.
