The Connection (Closed Permanently)

(55 Ratings)
Male shower performers
One of the biggest dance clubs in Louisville, the Connection features male performers dancing in showers, a great drag show and an eclectic range of beat-driven music. A young and energetic crowd likes to frequent this spot, especially on Saturday night.

Huge Dance Club in Downtown Louisville

I was here on a Friday night and a Saturday night this past summer. The Connection is one of the largest clubs I've ever been to. It's easy to get lost in there. It's tastefully decorated and the drag show was one of the best I've ever seen. The staff was okay. The crowd was okay, too. There weren't many people there either night and no one was really friendly, even the random people there by themselves. The music was good and I'm glad I visited, but something about the Connection rubbed me the wrong way. The area didn't seem like the greatest and the place was so big- yet so empty- that it was kind-of creepy and mysterious to me.

This CLUB is too much!!!

No wonder Lady GaGa showed up here. The emcee Hurricane is the best I have ever seen. So witty, so funny. The dance floor and music rocks and you can dance til 4am

Nice complex

Was surprised to see such a big, diverse complex in KY. It was mostly empty the last time I was there, except for the theatre area. I still had fun, and I met some cool people.
