We wandered down here on accident from The Fruit one night. The music was banging, the side rooms are fun little culture bubbles, and the people were friendly. Once we were told we were in the wrong place we left, but I definitely plan to go back soon to check out Club Era.

Wow, wow, wow! Naomi Dix has curated a beautiful, welcoming, and joyful space. I danced, I sang, surrounded by cuties and hotties. The bartenders kept the drinks flowing, and they kept me laughing and loving night. WILL be coming back for more. 💓

Amazing experience! Will come back. Recommend 10/10. Come as you are. Staff was very engaging and friendly. Everyone from the front desk, bartenders, DJ, performers, and security were amazing. Vibes were vibing.

So glad Naomi Dix opened Club Era, it’s our new favorite going out spot in the Triangle! Lot’s of cool spaces to hang out and chat inside when taking a break from dancing. There’s also a nice sized terrace outside!

After having a very mediocre experience at The Fruit, Club Era was a refreshing breath of fresh air for my night. Definitely one of the coolest spaces I’ve been to in a while; they’ve obviously put a lot of thought into the aesthetic & curation and it pays off. I absolutely love the themed rooms and featured artwork and it provided some super cool spaces and reprieve from the dance floor area. The dj was awesome and had some super unique remixes that were a great change of pace from other clubs in the area. Overall, it’s definitely worth a trip and is a great spot for a night out in the Triangle.

Club Era is a new and fresh take on the Raleigh-Durham area, club and nightlife. Even though it's relatively new, it has started off with so much more to offer than several other businesses that have been here for a long time. It's very positive and inclusive towards LGBTQIA+ customers, but also businesses and other groups looking a great spot to provide more entertainment opportunities. The staff is not only always friendly, but several have worked at other very successful similar businesses in the area over time. It is looking to be the start of a new special place for Bull City natives and visitors from all around. Highly recommended to drop in on different nights and seeing which events and themes suit your interests, but also trying out hanging with the regulars and dancing too.
