Club 5
Created by Ed Grunewalde as a replacement for his 'Manouvers' bar, which needed more room for expansion.  He created a large complex of several separate serving bars, a restaurant, and outside space for volleyball etc. 

From the beginning, the business had three separate identities within the building, specifically:

<b>Club 5 resataurant and Bar</b>: The major portion of the space was a DJ area and large dance floor area with a couple of bars.

<b>Barracks</b>: Men's bar, rustic setting. Many guys in jeans and t-shirts, or often shirtless.  At times showed X-rated movies.

and <b>Planet Q Video Dance Bar</b>

He later added <b>The Fox Hole</b>: Women's bar.

Was here for a private party. Had a good time. Needed more than one bartender but he did his best while being swamped.
