| - We stopped by the black door for a comedy show, and had a good time. The setup is really nice, and the servers were very attentive. The place has a nice atmosphere. It's dimply lit, and kind of edgy. Black Beans, and Hippie Liver played after the comedy show, and we really enjoyed their set as well.
I would love to come back to see some more music acts (the events schedule is on this site http://www.blackdoorvegas.com/).
Everything was great, EXCEPT....for the door guy. We ordered VIP tickets in advance. When we got there, we were standing in line (outside, in the cold) for quite a while. When we finally got in, the door guy said he forgot to print our tickets, so they had to seat a bunch of people before us. When he finally did hand us off to someone to take us to our seats, he seated us in some plastic chairs that they had lined up in front of the stage for the show...holding our drinks, bags, and ashtrays in our laps. VIP? Really?
We hunted someone down after a few minutes, and they sat us at a booth...with another party. For such a huge mistake, I was surprised that they didn't offer us a free drink, or even a sincere apology.
Luckily, the people we were grouped with turned out to be really awesome.
Another issue I had here is that they locked one of the restrooms, and didn't put a sign up. I was waiting by the door for half an hour until a waiter came by, and told me that there was another one, and that I had to go there (...and stand in line. ugh).
I'm really hoping Black Door can get it together, and stop making amateur mistakes, because this spot has a ton of potential.
