I have been to Tequila 185 about four times before and it’s always been ok – nothing special – but nonetheless alright for clubbing in Newmarket. The last time I went though, it was a private event, and nothing had been posted on their website or Facebook page about it. Their hours said that they were open, so my friends and I rightfully assumed that they would be. Even though it was a private event, no one was there at the door, and we were able to walk right onto the dance floor. We decided to leave after five minutes because we kept trying to find someone who worked there to ask if it was, in fact, a private event, as it appeared to be; but no one ever showed up. I assumed this was just an honest mistake, seeing as most clubs do offer private events, but will post that they are closed for the night online; so I emailed Tequila 185. It has been almost two weeks, and I still have heard nothing back from them. My main issues were that they didn’t post about the fact that they were closed, but also that they had someone paying for a private event and were not protecting that event from the public walking in. After talking to a friend, she said that the same thing happened to her last year too; so clearly this seems to be a fairly common occurrence. My advice, if you are going to the club, is to call ahead of time to check if they’re open, because both their website and Facebook page do not seem to be very reliable.

Had come to check out this place for a Unilocal Event… which was packed and a lot of fun. Recently came here on a non-Yelp Friday night for a live band. We were greeting promptly and told not to worry, that it will pick up. It was around 10pm and there were maybe 20 people inside. We were charged 5 dollars cover. We gave it a shot. The bartenders were really nice, the local band wailed nice and loud, and they have a great patio(as far as «clubs’ are concerned) for the smokers and those needing some air. The mix of people was definitely wide ranging from young hipsters, to older locals. It must get packed at some point because there seemed to be a lot of security for the number of people inside. Either way, we ended up heading out early. I’d stop in to try again, but I’d probably check inside to see what the crowd is like before paying my 5 dollar cover.

When DJ Dash is spinning… That’s when you hit the dance floor… Great athmosphere, real chill… drinks are very fairly priced, can’t go wrong espically when there isn’t any real true club options. Good spot, go here!
