Don't show up before 11 it's dead, but by 1115 it's packed. Some of the best music to dance to in tally, just make sure you don't get pushed in

Thanks Alia and Lydia for being great at what you do. Thank you to the countless 19-22 year old girls who showed up without shirts or shorts. Thank you to the DJ who unlatched my face with Migos, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi etc chunes for 4 hours. Can't wait to do it again. #BuryMeAtRecessPool.

Probably as classy as a Tallahassee club can get. Legitimately the only club in tally that doesn't have it's own smell. The bartenders and quick and security is polite. They only have the best local DJ's playing.

I love cess. Every night is a cess night. Especially when it’s free. Okay only when it’s free. The tequila could be better but that’s okay I come for the ambiance. The only thing that could make cess better—6 STARS IF YOU WISH—is an update to the pool design. A waterfall at the end maybe? Some tiles on the bottom to hide the trash? Love my midnight swims here though!

Incredible roof top bar with a perfect view of Doak Campbell stadium. Always clean, awesome staff, and I’ve never waited for more than a minute for my drink. Would definitely come here again.

Love the atmosphere and vibe. Drinks are reasonable but you do automatically get charged 20% or more tip each time. I got two vodka cranberries and two shots of tequila on one trip and the vodka cranberries were $4 the tequila shots were $2 with tax and automatic tip my charge was $19.20.. the second trip to the bar for two vodka cranberries I had to buy two because $10 limit on card was $16.80. that's still comparable to other places so not a big deal. Just a heads up. The girls fee was also cheap $5 and the guys were $10.

Wow what isnt there to say about Recess? Its a fun loving exciting environment with lights and aesthetics that are perfect for a rooftop club. The staff is extremely friendly and if your lucky enough to get Frenchy as your bartender your drinks and experience will be unmatched! A great place to let loose with a bunch of friends and kick back a few drinks
