Manikin’s Lounge — Restaurant in Sanford

Not trying to be mean, but I don’t know why this is called a goth club. The ‘goth’ nights have extremely repetitive sets that play mostly ebm and industrial, with the same 4 Sisters songs thrown in somewhere. Come often and it’ll feel like you’re dancing to the same playlist on shuffle every week. The lack of goth music makes sense when you account for the very obnoxious bachelorette parties that love to come in, get wasted, and shove you around the dance floor after they all gawk at you for being dressed goth, and when you account for the frat boys and other randoms that show up just to ‘see what everyone else is talking about, about this being a club for weirdos’.

Hello,

Myself and my party were accused of acts that we weren’t responsible for. When asked to have them review evidence of what we were accused of, we were sent away. We felt we were discriminated against and targeted because we were different.

Please reach out in a timely manner as we are awaiting you...

This club is reminiscent of classic alternative clubs probably fits a couple hundred of your closest friends. The main DJ is spectacular! I have driven over there twice a 2 hour and 40 minute drive for me and it's well worth it when you can dance 5 hours straight! The music is so good I had to pick a song that I liked least in order to use the restroom or grab a cocktail. Drink prices are very reasonable a crown Ginger and lime is $8. There was no cover on the night I was there. The outside patio area could use a couple of more fans but otherwise this venue is...
