TBD

Used to be THE Lesbian bar, with a kick-ass indoor smoking lounge replete with video fireplace. Then they started "Guys night", which became so popular the guys took over the place and Lesbians were exiled to Six Degrees of Separation until it closed (now they have Gossip Grill). Meanwhile, the gay guys decided The Flame wasn't as fun as Numbers across the street after all, and since Numbers can't even get consistent crowds (though it has SOME fun nights), why expect anyone to go to the Flame? So no one does. Except on certain special nights, maybe. Not sure. The place has great potential, with front/back dance floors and a good location. But it seems destined to become a straight club or some other type of establishment altogether. Stay tuned... (but go to Numbers... or Pecs... or Baja Betty's... or Gossip Grill - all are within walking distance of The Flame).

More straight than gay

Wasnt sure what was with this bar. When we walked up to this place, the straight aggressive drunks outside this club, meant we kept on walking.

NEGATIVE 10 stars- bad service, no one is in there

I went to this a lot and on a friday me and a friend of mine want to party hardy. When we got in this place thinking it was great, the place was so dead it was a waste of time. I asked if it was going to get busy and they told me that it was so by the time we came back at midnight it was dead as a door nail. So I talk to the cashier and she said she couldn't refund my money so me and my friend will never come back here again.

Dont waste your time

This place is the crumiest place ive been to yet in sd the one time i went i walked in and they were playing the worst techno ive ever heard and i almost got mowed over by some 50 yr old lady that was so wasted she was walking diagnolly with the free hand outstreched to stop herself from bringing her body to a halt with her face. there were maybe 15 or so people in the place and they were all of the same caliber as the lady i previously mentioned. i walked in looked around and walked out. who knows maybe it was just a bad night there but i doubt it
