The words are across the shirts that the female staff at "The Hangge Uppe" used to wear...the most fun you won't remember. That is probably the best way to describe this bar. I go to "The Hangge Uppe" a couple times a month and every single time it has been a blast. I started going here a couple months ago and have not been able to stop. The waitresses and bartenders are gorgeous...usually the best looking women in the bar, they are attentive but straight to the point, they're very fast too. Towards the end of the night, it does prove difficult to get a drink from the bar, that's why I always start a tab with the waitress. My favorite part of the bar is the downstairs, way in the back. The waitress that is usually down there is really nice, super fast and will make your night more enjoyable. Her name is Erin, she's hot and fun. Sergio is the bartender that is there on Saturday nights, they are both so much fun. Five stars for "The Hangge Uppe". Go here, you will have a great time.

Let me start out by saying not to expect a lot from this club. If you’re smart you’ll use Hangge Uppe (or Hang Ups) for what is it, an after-hours club... somewhere to go when you are just drunk enough that you’d rather dance than go home.
The first thing that rubs me wrong is the cover charge, $3 to $5 just to get in. I can stomach the larger clubs charging a cover fee of $20; they promote top DJ’s, large dance floors, light shows, and swank atmospheres. In other words, you know what you are paying for. With Hang Ups, you wait in line to pay for entry into an over-crowded bar that plays over-played R&B on the entry level, and cheesy over-played 70’s and 80’s music on the lower level. The dance floors are always packed, and not always with bodies dancing. Most of the time drunk people just stand there and sway, staring at the crowd. Also, there is a high chance if someone doesn’t slosh their drink on you then they’ll bump YOUR drink onto you or the floor.
The pluses for this club are that there are four bars; one right when you walk in, and three downstairs. The name comes from all the knickknacks tacked to the walls and ceiling, however it seems in recent years they’ve taken quite a lot of the knickknacks down, reducing some of that cluttered feeling.
If you are in the right mood, the music downstairs can be fun. It’s mostly older, and you're lucky if you can find a spot on the dance floor to boogie.
The negatives are the cover charge is usually $5, the dance floors are way too crowded, usually there is a line to get in, and the women’s toilets always have a long wait (only 3 stalls for the entire club!).
Club hours are 5pm to 4am weeknights, 3pm to 5am on Saturday, and 3pm to 4am on Sunday. They do valet for around $12 to $15.
