| - Before the fire and rebuild, this was one of my favourite places! The music, the energy, everything was perfect.
Now, not quite my favourite place anymore. It's been revamped and made fancier. With the new lights and big screens for visuals it's a bit too bright for an afterhours, however on new years they turned them down and turned off one screen so it felt more like the old stereo.
Other changes that I don't like are the new DJ booth (too high and I liked it on the other side of the room before) and sometimes the people. Before everyone was so nice, I always made friends with people in line for the bathroom, getting water, or taking a break. People seem more closed off, not letting people in as much, changes the energy a bit.
I have been back more recently, I originally wrote this review in 2010, and have had some better experiences with the crowd, but it's still not the same as the original. They've gotten rid of the secret Saturday thing which is great! Now I can actually plan when it's worth it for me to spend the money and the time to go.
All that to say, the club is still great. The new open space is great, the sound is still amazing, and the wood floor is great to dance on for hours. Just make sure you hide your gum really well! They take away gum at the door.
This club has been the place of many amazing memories and hopefully will be for future experiences. Maybe I'll see you there sometime!
