[2] The club existed in a non-descript building with spare outdoor lighting, in an area southwest of Lincoln's primary downtown bar district, and southeast of the Haymarket.

It was by far Lincoln's largest and most prominent gay club,[3] with a full theatrical stage, 15,000-watt sound system, and 6,000 sq ft surrounding the primary bar and dance floor.

[4] After The Q shut its doors on November 1, 2013, it was revealed by local news sources that the establishment had been in arrears with payments to the IRS, as well as in debt to private lenders—though this did not contribute directly to The Q's closing.

[6] Approximately $100,000 in remodeling brought a new central bar design and skylights to the main room, however no pivotal changes were made to the club's operation.

On Saturday, January 31, 2015, the building housing Karma was lost in a four-alarm fire which began in the stage area about 7:15 pm, ahead of a planned night of performances.
