Numbers Nightclub, a gay dance club and video lounge, opened at 620 Frankfort Avenue in 1984. Numbers hosted drag shows on Tuesday nights. On Thursday and Friday nights, the club adopted a “cruisier bar atmosphere with programmed music and large video screens.” Numbers primarily played “high energy” music and maintained “loyal dance following on Wednesdays and Saturdays.” Numbers closed in 1997. The club later reopened as Club Atlantis.
