Since all the speakers point at the dance floor, you also get the best audio in the whole venue. With about 25 singers, Lori the DJ used only the minimum necessary filler music so the rotation was as quick as it could be. You can expect to sing about 3 songs during the 4-hòur show. The club looks unimpressive from the outside, but inside it's clean, cozy and welcoming to everyone. There's a pool table, keno machines. The bar staff are attentive. Drink prices are on the low end. The restrooms are clean. They come in 3 flavors, male, female, and 2 private, large, unisex restrooms(which are also wheelchair accessible) The dance floor is set up for a great light show. Definitely put Square on your must-see list. You won't go wrong.

That's my two cents though.

This DJ was extremely rude to us. On our first song he scolded us for putting songs in the queue, which is the point of karaoke. I have no issue with interchanging folks to sing so that it's fair. He made many rude comments when we were on stage. After a few of us performed he said "okay now let's get the energy up on this next song". The song in question was 'you're a mean one Mr. Grinch'. Which I imagine was pretty embarrassing for him. Every other song was him and his friend singing and unfortunately they sounded horrible. I like this bar a lot but I'll never expose myself to a terrible karaoke evening like this again. I really hope auricle finds a karaoke dj who is talented and kind.

I recently saw Drew Hastings and Costaki Economopoulos perform during The Stansbury Love Stinks…read moreComedy Show on Valentine's Day. First, in the interest of full disclosure, this review is limited to my experience with the venue. I didn't order drinks from the bar, which is why I decided that I would be relatively generous with the rating I gave it. I figure, if I didn't use the full range of services here, I shouldn't penalize this venue too harshly simply out of my own ignorance. The venue itself is nice, clean, and cozy. The Stansbury Show sold out two shows here and the packed house definitely gave this place a lively vibe. For the comedy show, the venue put out rows of folding chairs, which was fine, but also a little cramped. I found a seat on the end, which gave me a little more leg room then most people, but I imagine I would've felt a bit cramped had I chosen a middle seat. On the other hand, given the space they had to work with, I think the layout they had was probably close to the best they could do. For future shows, I'd suggest incorporating a little more leg room, if possible. The show, by the way, was great. I enjoyed both the opener and the headliner. Stansbury and Fantone were excellent MCs. I think I'd come out just to see them do a set of their own. Parking is available right next to the building, which is nice. But, if you're unfamiliar with the area and you haven't used Google Street View to look up this place in advance, you might miss this place at first glance. The Auricle is attached to The Metropolitan Centre, which (from what I can tell online) is a multi-purpose event space with a large ballroom and a rooftop patio - think wedding receptions, etc. In any case, The Auricle itself is on the west side of the building closer to Dewalt Ave and 6th Street NW, which isn't immediately obvious when you enter the lot off of Cleveland Ave NW. The only reason I downgraded this venue by one star is because I think The Auricle should post a sign indicating that parking for The Auricle is specifically allowed in this lot. A sign in the bathroom poked fun at drinking domestic beers. From that I gather that this may be a good place to find foreign and/or craft brews. Again, I didn't drink here this time, so you'll have to investigate that on your own. Speaking of the bathroom, one last thing is worth noting: the bathroom was clean, but the only urinal in the men's room wasn't draining properly. Someone should get that fixed.

For starters, it's a small place. You pay a 5 to10 dollar cover at the door, and then you'll notice the bar area, which has a very homey "corner bar" feel to it, and then the main stage, which is small yet surprisingly spacious. It's pretty easy to get a good view of the stage most anywhere you sit. The girls work the floor aggressively, and will sit down with you and size you up, as they do most places. However here, they settle in so fast it almost feels like a pressure sales tactic at a used car lot. That's a turnoff, but you act distant enough they'll get up and move to the next table. The women themselves are fairly decent looking, most all of them are average at best, a couple maybe above. Private dances are 10 bucks, and well, let's just say depending on the girl, you get more than your money's worth. The drinks cost 4-6 dollars, and they serve beer and liquor both. Most nights I go, I'll spend between 30-50 bucks and leave having had a good strip club experience on the cheap. Is it Christie's or the Hustler? Heck no, but the Brass Pole is fun on a budget, and much better instead of going to Bugsy's in downtown Elyria.

Where to start... Opening Night-Ronnie from Jersey Shore, (supposed to appear) Tilla Tequila (she…read moredidnt show), Giulietta and IPHONIC. Before heading down to Akron which is an hour away, I called to see what the cover charge was. Left a message and Jordan called back letting me know it was $10 at the door. Cool. (average for any decent club). Once we arrive to the red carpet laid out, and spotlight, they tell us $20 at the door... REALLY? Ok maybe worth it with all the celebs and artists in there right? Nope! To see Ronnie was an additional $15. After finding out where IPHONIC will be playing we headed upstairs. Bar staff had no clue what they had and couldn't even open the Heinekin bottles that some of us ordered. Although the club was popping, good music, views of Ronnie without paying the additional $15 was just fine. IPHONIC got the crowd rowdy!!! Music by the DJ's =good stuff. To step outside was like murder, you had to wait to come back in even after having a stamp. HA. I feel once they get it all together, ( the right way) it may be worth another trip. On a normal night though I hope they don't have a cover, cuz that place wasn't like a Portland club by any means. Biggest Club in Ohio maybe, but definately not the HOTT SPOT!!
