Scorpio is an inclusive space designed to welcome everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. While the majority of our guests identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, we also have many straight allies and individuals who enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of our club. Scorpio’s is what you make it—a place for fun, connection, and celebration where everyone feels welcome and respected. Our goal is to create an environment where diversity is celebrated, and all guests can enjoy a memorable night out.

All pricing is subject to increase based on capacity and demand, especially as the night goes on.

For guests under 21, cover pricing is always subject to change and may increase or vary by night. We may limit or cut off underage entry altogether depending on capacity or policy enforcement issues.

Guests under 21 are strictly prohibited from purchasing, consuming, possessing, or holding alcoholic beverages, including on behalf of others. Non-alcoholic beverages must be consumed only from the designated yellow-coded plastic cups provided by the venue.

Scorpio reserves the right to withhold, destroy, or otherwise dispose of IDs surrendered if a guest is found in violation of our underage drinking policy. Additionally, incidents may be referred to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) and pursued to the fullest extent of North Carolina state law.

On weekends, we employ multiple police officers who are typically stationed in front of the club or across the street to deter criminal activity and provide assistance when needed. Additionally, we staff several unarmed security personnel inside the venue to ensure the safety and protection of our guests.

For your safety, we remove any unattended drinks. Leaving your beverage unattended—even briefly—can put you at risk. Our barbacks make regular rounds to clear drinks that appear abandoned to prevent any chance of tampering or confusion.
