Best place Ive been to. DJ plays rock/techno type of music. Buffalo doesnt have anything like this. Everyone is nice. Not a typical night club where admission is arm and a leg, you have to fit in with the crowd, fights, etc.On a side note, covid needs to go away and dancing needs to be legalized again so we can do more than just eat & drink outside.

Home away from home... This place will always hold a special place in my heart. THANKS PATTY!!!

This place is my home away from home when it comes to a chill atmosphere

Arrived at 1:40 AM on Saturday, 11/2 at the end of a Friday night out. Still charging a $5 cover with about eight people in the entire place. Seemed odd for so late in the night. Probably should have decided to call it a night but we had friends on the way and gave it a shot. Adding to the curiosity of the $5 cover at 1:40 in the morning was learning its a cash only business.

Love it, miss it

If you dont love Vertex, its only because the place is too cool for you.

When Covid-19 has come to an end, I want nothing more than to dance freely again at Vertex

The host was very helpful and friendly. The bartender was amazing, super friendly and was a great guy to chat with! The atmosphere was great and the DJ had a wide variety of music and actually played requests! Wonderful clean and welcoming club, one of the best in Rochester.

Shawn cooked us some killer food last night. Best bar food I’ve had in a LONG time. Awesome atmosphere, will definitely return!

Ive always liked going to Vertex-IDOLS since an old friend introduced me to that community. Music is always awesome like back in the day DJ Robert G. Come as you are Havent been in a long time but twice since 2013. Im feeling the pulling though!!

Great club. Everyone is very friendly, such a departure from other clubs in Rochester. No bros, no fake tans, no egos, no drama... $3 to get in, but the drinks are cheap and the bartenders are on their game. Excellent music on Friday and Saturday night. If you love New Wave and 80s dance music, Saturday nights with DJ Darkwave are a treat. Dance floor is fun and a non-judgment zone. Just have fun and do what you want. A bit removed from other bars/destinations, but well worth the walk!

This place is awesome. Best drink specials in Rochester, and a very friendly environment regardless of the dark atmosphere. Perfect blend.The only bad review on this page is by Ben Gardner, but if you look at his other reviews, he seems to just choose companies at random and give them terrible reviews.

Love the place. Cheap, fun and great place to party or just sit and chat. Awesome staff. Definitely going again.

Best place to go for atmosphere,cheap drinks. Its one of the best gothic clubs in ny.

Now my favorite place to go Friday and Saturday.

Cheap drinks, great dancing (if youre comfortable with goth/new wave), a cool patio, and billiards (if you like to play).

Good place if youre into Goth, pool table is usually open and drinks are cheap. Owner is really nice too.

Great place to go dancing or meet new people.

Fun night

Vertex is like cheers for the alternative crowd. After you go a few times you get to know people and it is like a big family. It does not have that meat market creepy feel that some clubs have and you will see and meet all kinds of interesting people. If you arrive early there may not be many on the dance floor but by midnight it is crowded and the dance floor is full. It really is a place where you can be who you are and not feel awkward. The first reviewer on this page, ignore him and come find out for yourself. The owner is awesome, the club has a unique look and feel and the DJs and music are great. I love to dance and Friday has become my favorite night. DJ Energon will take requests and is like a priest of rhythm as he sends out the music. So if you really love to dance and want to dress up in anything from your jeans, to a complete goth outfit or even a chicken suit....Vertex is your place. I hope to see you there.

OK, so maybe Im bias since Im a DJ there, but despite what the gentleman below has to say, Vertex is a great place to hang with a great bunch of people. Im not sure what his problem is (I love it when a review says more about the reviewer than it does about the place. Insecure much buddy?) Vertex is not always empty, Saturdays are especially busy, regularly pushing the 175-200 people mark. (A lot of people complain about it being too crowded in fact). But check it for yourself, keep an open mind and I bet youll enjoy yourself.

Dark and cozy, private, chill club to hang out and meet weird people.

I found to Like this place after being able to see it for the first time, I felt like I was in my own home blasting all my favorite Rock music, metal, Dub, Electronica, etc... Makes it easy for my around the corner chill place when stressed..

Been going since it opened I love it as long as everyone treats people with respect its great place to dance and also to just hang out

After a while it becomes a second home. One of the best places Ive been in Rochester. Very chill.

Two bars, cheap drinks, great music, good people...and not any of the drama you get at other clubs...my favorite place besides home!

Amazing place, great drinks, Patty is amazing.

Our alternative home-away-from-home.

Best club in Rochester.

Very new age goth and classic black.

Great crowd

Great club!
