Q & A:

Are you changing the name to Blackout?

No. Blackout is a theme, a dark room with Black Lit neon highlights. A carry over them from REFLEX in West Hollywood. We use the Blackout theme couple times a year, other themes include “MidSummer Night’s Jungle Party” in the summer and “XXX-Men” in the fall. All events feature the FREE Clothes Check and adjacent Blackout Room.

Why don’t you use both floors at Los Globos?

Good Question, because of Korean After Hours. Rhonda and other events do use both floor. but they consolidate to the lower level at 2am to make room for Los Globos long running Korean after hours upstairs. Roar runs until 6am and while most people do arrive before 2am very very few leave before 2am so consolidating at that hour to the lower level would not work. For the REFLEX 20th Anniversary in summer of 2024 we are considering buying out the Korean after hours if they are willing and doing the enrtire building all night long with multiple DJs spinning multiple Rooms.

Is the event Gay Men Only?

The event is 99% Gay Men and security makes a point of telling people it is a gay event at entry.ROAR is not a “bachelorette party” destination and we do not want to scare away our transgendered friends. It is a very diverse gay crowd in terms of age and ethnicity. About 40% utilize the clothes check, and we keep the room so dark it just hasn’t felt necessary to say NO WOMEN or MANDATORY Jocks.

What’s the music like?

ROAR is a classic circuit vibe, with one or two dis spinning an 8-hour predominately tribal journey. We do not tell DJs what to play. Some will start with lower tempo house or trance tracks earlier in the night and inspiring vocals toward the end. The peaking hour of the party 12am-5am are understood to be higher energy circuit.

Private Parties & Bottle Service

Bottle service is available but not common. 
The best time for birthday or special occasion gatherings is when the party begins 10:30pm-12am We can arrange special priced group ticketing and bottles for groups of 10 or more arriving, In the first hour we are open. E-Mail: mevenstar1@gmail.com.
