| - The only thing label has going for it is the DJ. Their in house DJ might be the best in town. He mixes, he scratches, he plays more than 5 seconds of a song and he actually plays good music! He has great crowd control and knows how to get the crown moving.
Aside from their only saving grace, let's talk about what's wrong with Label and the Charlotte's club scene in general.
#1. Dance Floor
What's up with all these "swanky" clubs and no dance floors? If you want to dance, you have to buy a table to free up some elbow room to dance around your bottle.
Standing room only!
#2. Looks may be deceiving
Label sure looks nice, but once you experience it, you feel dirty. This "club" has no real dance floor, but they have a lounge with a separate DJ?? With the lack of Dance floor, the main room is rather nothing more than lounge!
#3. Can we say Ghetto?
See #2. I saw a fight break out and get pretty nasty. One dude tried to grab bottles from the 8 VIP tables laid out right smack dead in the middle of the dance floor.
Then later in the night, two chicks were about to throw down!
Why can't "adults" go to the club without acting like teenagers? Am I at risk of ending up like Tony Parker? Can I just enjoy good music and nightlife without having to worry about collateral damage?
I do have to commend the staff on their great job in trying to control the scene and cleanup effort. After the offenders were removed, an army of people came in with mops and had it all cleaned up within seconds!
#4. They don't accept American Express
How do you not accept American Express? I am deeply appalled by this. I have points to rack up!
Are you that cheap? Is profit all you care about? How can you be "ELITE and POSH", but not accept all forms of payment?
Okay so maybe AMX fees are higher, but even my hair stylist takes American Express!
#5. Why, why, whyyyyyy do all the new clubs try to be something they are not? Charlotte has a serious identity crisis.
I'm not a native, but I've embraced this city as my own and I'm offended by how the nightlife scene treats their patrons.
Stop trying to be Miami. Stop trying to be NY. Stop trying to be like Vegas. Charlotte jumped on the froyo wagon 7 years too later. Hipster bars pop up after hipsters go commercial.
Just be yourself and stop trying to imitate everyone else and just open something for us - for Charlotte.
