Looking for a unique nightclub option while in The Flats? Walk through a small general store-like storefront where made-to-order donuts are sold and you’ll find yourself in Magnolia. Once you’ve grabbed your donuts (because come on, how can you resist?!), head to the 4,000 square foot club that is Magnolia where you’ll find an electric atmosphere. Take a look at the decorations and artwork; the 20-foot ceilings have allowed for a steel magnolia tree with branches extending to the outer edges of the space to take up vacancy.Enjoy drafts and big-batch cocktails while taking in the graffiti-style art covering the walls.




Forward
