The Editor's Newsletter arrives in inboxes every Thursday! I never go to clubs or bars before midnight. Okay, maybe I might show up at Not bad, eh?

The reason this matters is because two weeks ago, I had my entire weekend planned. Five Star and Faces. This was my Reno Gay Club Tour, sponsored by FourLoko drinks just kiddingmy nearly maxed-out credit card and youthful excitement. I had just two rules: buy a drink at every stop, and talk to at least one person.

On Feb. I ordered an Uber to Five Star, and my tour had officially begun. The saloon is a small building with a modest exterior. I had a slight grin as I got out of the Uber and headed toward the doors. One of the advantages of going to clubs after midnight? I walked in and could already feel the vibrations of the music.

The crowd inside was a good mix of people, and it was a little less crowded than I expected, but still nearly packed. It looked like it might be an enjoyable night, filled with good music, lots of beautiful people and unabashed fun. Then I headed to the dance floor, drink in hand, ready to make the most of the night. I found a corner and let myself go.

The drinks are modestly priced. The music is a nice blend of recent hip hop and pop hits, and classics from the 90s and 00s. Importantly, it promises at worst, a decent night, and at best, an unforgettable one. Sounds like a good deal to me. Faces NV W. Second St. Faces is about a block away from 5 Star—the sign on the front is solid black against the white front exterior.

The space inside is expansive, complete with a lobby, a VIP section, an extra seating section and a huge dance floor. However, there were only a few people in the club and the vibe felt mellow—on Latin Night! Bad night to come alone.
