My first thought when I stepped through the entrance to Tao Beach, was, "Where's the sand?!.." My expression quickly turned into, "oOoooh.. pretty..." The space is incredibly gorgeous at night. They have heat lamps and seating around the dance floor. We bypassed the crazyass line, and our group arrived early enough and to see an empty dance floor slowly pack to the brim.
We took advantage of getting in early to hover near the bar. Expensive drinks were expected, so we barely blinked at dropping an arm and both legs. The bartenders were also pretty friendly. I didn't see them later on in the night because it was way too packed near the bar. I could not imagine how they handled the crowd.
I jinxed myself because when I was changing to go out, I thought, "What are the chances that someone would wear the exact same thing?" Good thing this place was packed! I didn't see that chick more than 2x and both times I didn't get a good look at her face. Hopefully, no one noticed either! (except my group who was super supportive) I've learned my lesson. Do not wear a distinctly patterned/cut dress you buy from Vegas to go clubbing in Vegas. That was a dumb move, Donna..!
Oh yeah, this guy was hella pisssed when I accidentally spilled water on him while our group was squeezing our way out.. It was so packed that my arm was getting knocked constantly.. Almost got my ass kicked! Dude needs to chill.. "Es-ca-pe' ! "Use your ninja skills, Donna!
Tao is the first club I've ever been to that had a LONGASS line to EXIT. Yes... exit... Oh.. and when I say exit, I mean it's not right down the stairs, through those doors.. Nope. The exit is over the hill, through the woods, past grandma's house, down the alley, 3 blocks down, make a right at the dumpster, turn around in a circle 5x counter-clockwise while holding your breath, closing your eyes, and pulling both ears... So obscure, they tell you to ask the next security guy you run into for directions.. Same for the bathroom I hear..
We waited longer in the line to exit than the line to get in, and holy crap, the line to get in when we left, was HELLA long.. No wonder there are horror stories about Vegas clubs/lines..
1 star - rooftop awesomeness
1 star - decor/ambiance
1 star - good time mostly.
We don't have a lot of rooftop clubs in sf, or rooftop anythings for that matter. I really enjoyed dancing and not being super sticky sweaty... Awesome!
