Fallout RVA

Fallout labels itself “Goth/Industrial/Fetish” on its website and says “Fallout is not an average nightclub that allows foolish behavior.” It is a nightclub in Richmond, Virginia, that pairs a membership program with events open to non-members, and it opens daily. The calendar mixes themed club nights, such as masquerades, vampire balls and dance nights, with concerts, movie nights, comedy open mics, goth karaoke and watch parties, and several listings state no membership is required. Kink and polyamory community groups also hold munches and meetups at the venue. Memberships are filled out at the club and cannot be applied for online. Applicants need a valid ID, must be 21 or older, must be in dress code and need a current member as a sponsor, and a committee reviews each application. Members may bring two guests who act and dress appropriately, and the club says it has limited-entry nights, such as weekdays, to meet other members for sponsorship. On some nights non-members must DM for a one-night pass. The dress code applies to members-only events, open events have no official code, and entry can be refused to anyone not dressed appropriately. Guests must behave respectfully and consensually at all times, and the club asks anyone planning to get intoxicated not to attend.
