Pop quiz, kiddies!
What's more dead: Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul's career, or Sanctum nightclub?
Trick question. The answer is: All of the above. (Although I have my doubts about Michael Jackson... did they ever bury that creepy dude?)
I've been to Sanctum three times. You probably didn't even know it was open. Each time, there was less than 10 people in the entire joint.
Wanna know why it's DOA? $8 COVER CHARGE. I don't care how swanky your new nightclub is (and it is suh-wanky), how much money you spent on your state-of-the-art sound system, how good looking your bartenders are, ain't nobody paying 8 bucks to enter an empty nightclub. PS: It's more of an upscale lounge really, the dancefloor is too small for very many folks to dance... but oh, I could stare at that light show for hours.
Call me when there's no longer a cover charge, and I'll change my 2-star review to 5 stars.
