The only place worse than Hairston's is hell. It's been around for a very long time and it looks the same today as it did when it opened 15 years ago. The owners of the club haven't invested one dime to update the look of that dump! They certainly make it easy for places like Encore to become a HOT SPOT over night!!. Hairston's is not the kind of club where you will find patrons of discriminating taste. It's a raggedy hole in the wall...LITERALLY! When I am forced to go to Hairston's with my friends, I don't use their restroom and I don't order anything from the bar or kitchen because the place is so filthy!! If you ever sit at the bar, take a look at the floor behind the bar and you will see why I say the place is disgusting. I highly doubt the floor behind the bar has ever been mopped judging by all the jet black dirt along the baseboards and in the corners. Now imagine what the kitchen must look like! I am dying for the day when I trip and fall over one of those raggedy loose tiles that I have stumbled over several times. You would think that at a minimum, the owners would want to limit their exposure to liability by making sure floor tiles are securely in place so customers won't fall and break bones! The last time I was there was about a month ago and the crowd was very light because Encore in Duluth has taken much of Hairston's Friday night crowd...I AM SO HAPPY! Maybe competition like Encore will force them to remodel that dilapidated a** club! If they improve the aesthetics, then maybe they will draw a more cosmopolitan crowd as oppose to the retired pimps and washed up prostitutes who currently patronize the club. One positive thing I can say about the joint is you are guaranteed to get a laugh! The people and their lack of style and class is comical to watch. If you want to socialize with a trendy, upscale, cosmopolitan, upper echelon crowd, then don't go to Hairston's. Club Wal Mart is cleaner and has a classier crowd than Hairstons.
Pros: It's dark, so you can't see how bad it really looks, the raggedy exterior is consistent with the interior
Cons: It's dirty, out of date decor, geriatric customers, awful D.J., uneven dance floor, same crowd, same lame b-day game every Saturday
