| - One of my friends won a happy hour - or "happy evening," since it lasted from 9-11 pm - at Whim on the Friday before Halloween. This was our first visit to a club since moving to Pittsburgh over a year ago - we're REALLY cool - so we got dressed up and headed out to Station Square. They opened up at 9, which is when we arrived, so the place was pretty empty for the first hour, or hour and a half. Since our friend had won the happy hour, we had the pleasure of sitting at a VIP table, which was cozy, but there still wasn't table service.
There were some drink specials that night - I think on Miller Lite and Effen Vodka - but the drinks were weak. Once the drink special ran out at 9 pm, it wasn't worth buying any more. The music was good, but it took a while for people to get dancing - not until 1130 or midnight, maybe? There are 2 large rooms - one more for standing and talking and drinking, one with a big dance floor. Couches line the dance floor, which I actually kind of love, so if your feet hurt you can just crash there. The music was pretty good - mostly songs I've heard of and enjoy - and there's different music playing in each room, so if it sucks in one room you can just move on. Also, somehow, the music was JUST loud enough. You can still have a conversation without totally screaming, but your voice will definitely need to be raised.
We had a fun time, and it would be a good place to go out dancing again in the future, but I'd say get your drink on at a bar somewhere else before coming here. And you have to have enough energy to stay up until last call, since the dancing doesn't even start until midway through the night.
