Check out No Rule at the Metro Gallery tonight
"Don't these people have jobs?"
That was the first thing that crossed my mind when I stopped by No Rule.
The free Monday night dance party, which has been at the Metro Gallery for a couple months now, doesn't really heat up until 11 p.m. or midnight. On a Monday.
After hitting up No Rule twice in the last month, I have to say: It's Baltimore's best Monday night dance party. Not that it has a lot of competition. But still ...
The two times I've been, most of the crowd has been chatting at the bar or lounging on the sofas and chairs scattered throughout the place. I haven't seen the dance floor packed yet. But the clientele is really mixed -- from b-boys to hipsters. I even ran into up-and-coming rap duo the Get 'Em Mamis there.
If you're looking for an interesting place to chill and maybe dance, definitely hit up No Rule.

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.

Muscially, No Rule is the city's best kept secret. Cullen and Scottie bring in international DJs to try out new stuff, old stuff and it's free. In any other city you'd be shelling out big for some the people they bring to town.

When I saw the title my brain somehow scrambled the words into, "Check out the No Metro Rule at the Gallery Tonight."
I was about to post about how that's awesome that they wouldn't let any metrosexuals into the gallery, then I realized that my prejudice has just been searching for a reason to come to the surface.
Real men don't gel their hair.
