"The third Thursday of every month is an oldies night where we play music from the 70's and 80's."

While the club definitely caters to a mostly gay crowd, the managers at Fran's say everyone is welcome.

You'll have a "ball" at our second place winner, the Roxy Nightclub in Boston. On weekends this turn of the century ballroom is transformed into a hopping hot spot.
