| - I'm going to give it to you straight. Butter is posh, snooty and boojie. Butter caters to a more mature "upscale" crowd, weeding out the gangstas, thugs and college kids. Dress code is dressy. Dress like you're in Vegas. If you're trendy and fashionable, you might not have a problem. Butter truly embodies the term "dress to impress."
Butter has an upstairs and downstairs. Their is a bar upstairs and and one downstairs. I would say the upstairs is more of a lounge with tables for rent surrounding the bar. Downstairs is the main dance floor. It can get tight.
The cons:
If you are a male, with a group of males it's very unlikely you will get in. If you want to get in, you must reserve a table, or come extra early. A group of very attractive women most definitely helps and it helps if the men are attractive too. If you got money to throw at the bouncer, you might get lucky. Even if you are already on the guest list, make sure you look fly. Most of the men I've seen inside were older established, distinguished gentleman; at least by impressions. If you dress like a college kid with a plain polo shirt and some boots - very unlikely you're getting in. Women, will not have a problem getting in.
The unfortunate thing is because this is Charlotte and the nightclub scene isn't quite up to par with other big cities, they can do this and get away with it. With the nightclub industry, this keeps a big buzz.
Watch out for the valet guys. They do not know how to park. A fellow left his lambo to valet and of course it received premier parking. Unfortunately the valet guy straight backed it up right into the curb and checked it. All you heard was a loud crunch...ouch.
The pros:
Butter is a work of art. Decor is elegant, sensual and inviting. Very visually stimulating and some tables are aligned right on the dance floor, similar to XS in Vegas. People are attractive and there is a lot of eye candy. Waitresses are gorgeous and sexy. The DJ spins good music, mixing top 40 with dance music/electronica. Some hip hop. Overall feel good party music. Comparatively drinks aren't too bad of price, bottle service is.
If you don't have any connections, you will wait in line. Nothing new though, many hot clubs in Vegas and LA also have long waits. TAO at the Venetian in Vegas still has lines that keep you waiting hours and hours, and people do it.
In all, is this Charlotte's best club? YES it is. Bouncers are just doing their job and keeping the scene alive and aesthetically pleasing for us all. Is it fun? Hell yes, especially if you have a good fun crowd. As hypocritical as I am; as much as I am against the selection process, Butter really is smooth and classy. If you can't get in, don't fret! Halo is literally down the street and I've had many a good times at Halo.
The overall crowd is "posh" but as long as you're with good company, you'll forget about it will have a great time. I did! I can't really hate on Butter. No matter how many times we fellers might get turned away, it's a worthy club.
And lets be honest. The ratio they keep, the standards they have is one of the big attractions drawing us there. I guess you can say, Butter is pretty "pimp."
