3 reviews for Bell Bottoms
BellBottoms - alas, what became of you?! I don't think BB is even open for business any longer. Last I noticed, the club name (and possibly the ownership) changed to "Uranus". But I would suspect different name, same disappointments. The club used to be such a great, laid-back, fun atmosphere to relive the days of the 70s and 80s, and have a good time dancing the night away. But then things started going downhill. The music was the EXACT same week after week - like the "DJ" just put in a large MP3 CD and went home. Same mixes, same lame selections of music. I mean, yes, Sweet Home Alabama may be a decent song to hear in Alabama, but such trite should not be played at a *d a n c e* club... how utterly rednekk. Same for "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "You Shook Me All Night Long". Basically, the song choices became the anthem for drunk, horny, 40+ year olds grinding on the alcohol-soaked dance floor... sad and shameful... But I digress...
Bellbottoms is the place you should only visit (assuming it ever opens again) due to unexpected torrential downpours on your way to somewhere good. Expect to be disappointed, expect to have at the very least 3 drinks spilled on you by some unnecessarily-inebriated blonde trying her best (and failing) to dance sexy for her testosterone-soaked three-brain-celled mate for the evening, and expect to return to this review and mark it both "Useful" and "King of all Accuracy" if you ever dare to set foot in that club.
(Mind you, this is coming from a previous regular...)

Look, this place has issues. If it wasn't for it's ability to stay open until 5 a.m, I would give this place 1 star. Let's start from the beginning. They waste 5 minutes of your life by filling out a "membership" card (note the quotes), then pay a cover charge for what? Drink specials? No! Band? N0!
After that hassle and you finally enter this place, the smell hits you in face like a blitzing linebacker on roids. What smell you ask? The smell of urine, old beer, and puke. I don't think this place has ever been cleaned and the bathrooms in my old fraternity house are in better shape. Drinks are a little pricey for such a cheesy place and the crowd is full of hard chargers and hags.
I don't recommend this place at all, unless it's past 2 and you need another drink.

This is one of those tourist traps that you pass on your way to the "good" club that you planned all night on going to. Then around 2 am when you are stumbling out of that club making your way to your car...you realize you have to pee. Bell Bottoms is that pee stop you make while you try and sober up before driving home. And let me tell you that it smells like pee.....constantly reminding you...that you have to pee...ASA-PEE! Then you have to ask some old cougar to hold the door closed while you hover over the bowl of stinch... good times in B-ham!
