The Quest Club

I’ve been coming here for years. Its definitely not the nicest place in town. They do have cheap drinks and open 24 7 365. No pics allowed in the bar which is unheard of.

This is a boring club full of people that just stand around doing absolutely nothing.
Music? Nonexistent. You could have a better dance session in the parking lot.
Drinks? Impossible to order because everyone crowds around the filthy bar five people deep and won’t move for the life of Jesus H. Christ.
The dancefloor was being used by an atrocious drag queen that was asking four people stupid questions as though they were celebrities. The words contrived and cheap come to mind.
If you live in Birmingham, I suppose this is an OK place to come after you’re burned out, trashed and destroyed. I mean, everyone in the place looked like they were already majorly faded. We’re taking Arizona sun bleached faded!!!
It gets one star because there’s no smoking inside. Apparently there’s a patio area off the miniature dance floor, but nobody in my party could find it because the place was just lame.
We left after 20 minutes – spread out over two mini visits in one night.

I love The Quest. It’s not the nicest looking club, but I’ve been coming here for around 5 years now & I consistently have a good time. A perfect place to drink and dance the night away (they’re open 24 hours)! Yes, it’s a gay bar, but even my straight friends have a fun time when I bring them along. :)
There’s two different bar areas, a couple pool tables, a dance floor surrounded by speakerboxes, and an outside patio area where you can smoke. (You can’t smoke inside the actual club anymore, like some of the older reviews mention.)
It is an 18+ club. They have security scattered around making sure there’s no underage drinking. The music is usually just the current top hits.

The Quest always seems like a great idea when it’s last call at your favorite bar. My experiences have been mostly positive. I would not recommend going to the club alone whether gay or straight unless you are looking for something other than an after hours drink. Sometimes the vibe gets a little creepy in the wee hours. But, I have had a good time dancing and hanging out late night with friends.

cheap drinks, dirty inside… dive bar

This place has to be the end of the line for anyone who has been out earlier in the evening. The dance music totally sucks! I would rather go home and drink on the porch as to have come to this rathole!

A great alternative club that is open 24 hours

I have been to the Quest many times, I love it !!
The people are nice and friendly.
If you are looking for a good time then you should DEF stop by this place.
The only thing I dont like is …
IM NOT A SMOKER, this place is smoker friendly so when you 1^st walk in its like a smack in the face but its very easy to forget about and not even smell anymore !
Actually going to be there Saturday night. Jan 7^th ;)
Hope to see all you there.
Come to have fun and enjoy yourself !!!
LOVE IT

Absolutely love this place. No typical «meathead» drama because you smiled at some dude’s girlfriend. Honestly, out of all the years I’ve been going, I’ve never even seen a fight.
Drag show is alright if you’re into that, they are very talented ladies that perform. However I highly recommend Generation Nexxxt.
Also, please understand that this is an «alternative lifestyle» club and that discrimination or bigotry is not tolerated. At all. To this end, it’s a little slice of heaven for tolerant people who have to reside in Alabama.

Have you ever been in a slightly dirty club until it was so early you had to squint from the sunlight when you left?
Have you ever had a group of 8 lesbians sing a chorus of Happy Birthday to your girlfriend?
Have you ever seen a 250 lb man put on a dress and tell dirty jokes?
No?
What about being hit on by a drag queen? That, either? No?
Well, you need to get your ass out here. Yes, it’s a little weird, yes it’s a little dirty, and yes you’re going to be flirted with by members of the same sex unless you show up wearing an «I hate gays» logo emblazoned on your KKK outfit. *
You know what, though? You’re going to have fun. A lot of it. This club has, hands down, the best vibe of any club in the city. They also pour decent drinks that don’t cost very much, play good music, and hey, remember that big guy in the dress? Pretty damn funny.
So if you’re comfortable with yourself (and if you’re old enough to read this, you should be) head over here and spend the night, part of the morning, and possibly into the early-​next-​afternoon boogie-​ing the night away.
*If you show up here like that, someone will hurt you. Badly. Just saying.

I’ve went to this club multiple times now. As a smoker I’m very pleased that I can smoke in the bar. The bartenders are very friendly and are willing to work with you over the noise of the club. The place is usually very packed on the weekend, and the dance floor is usually quite full.
The music is very good to dance to and the scene isn’t too shady,
I very much enjoy this bar and recommend it!

I had an amazing time here! The drag show is pretty good, though I’ve seen better, its still verrry enjoyable.
Loved the dance music, the people were very nice!
Definitely have to go again if I go up there :)
