I'm not sure when the other reviewers went, but I've been on multiple nights over the last few months and haven't found ANY packed, busy or remotely popular things going on at King of Clubs. The most hopping I've seen it was maybe nine people at the same time: most seemed to be of the same group.
Drinks are astronomically high: $8.00 for a double-shot drink made with well liquor.
The bartenders are friendly but spend more time talking with their friends than enticing you to buy anything else.
The multiple theme nights also seem to have died down: I attended two karaoke events hosted by Bruce and one Goth night. The karaoke music was sub-par, the singers retched (go if you want to cringe or have fodder for months) and again, it seemed more like a group of friends (exclusive, not inclusive) than anything else. The goth night had one atttendee, then more of the groups of friends who were exclusive, not inclusive.
All in all, the only good thing about this place is its proximity to the Hwy101 in Mountain View. That being said, you could drive to downtown San Jose, pick any of the poolhalls and have ten times the fun for 1/3 the price.
Pros: Proximity to Hwy 101
Cons: Expensive drinks, Crappy service, Annoying clientele, Far from clean, Unsafe furniture
