| - An extra star goes to the fact that I always come here, not on my own accord, and get in without paying. Well, I guess it's not me personally getting in for free but one of my girlfriends who knows the promoter and now bouncer. This is basically the only reason I enjoy coming to this club, bypassing the line and bypassing the $20 entrance fee.
I never used to mind doing things like this until I realized how ridiculous it is to make people wait in line AND pay to get into an establishment that then goes on to charge you for drinks and only provides seating to those willing to shed a few hundred on a minimum of 2 bottles... Anyone else find that outrageous? Ya me too.
That being said, inside is nice. If you look up their photos on their website, you'd think it was the nicest place you've ever seen but trust me, the lighting is very different than what the photos show. Basically it's just dark. You can't really see anything except for the bars that have darkened mirrors behind the booze and brick walls in between. The bars are the standard marble/granite with an added little boost on the bottom for the vertically challenged or for the ladies to rest their dancing feet on.
The dancefloor looks like a sunken in runway, and it gets crowded. It's very difficult to navigate through the dancefloor, you're better off going up the stairs and walking around than anything. There are also little platforms that are inhabited by crazy groups of girls dancing but then are ushered off for the paid dancer to shake her bon bon on. I believe there are 2 separate stage/platforms on either end of the dancefloor.
There is an upstairs VIP area that has a line up so ridiculous that you wonder why people want/need to go up there. Upstairs has its own DJ and plays different music and opens to the patio (open all year). Upstairs is has pretty much the exact same set up with the brick walls and mirrors with the addition of some plant life, no idea what purpose that serves but it's there. The patio is made up of heaters in the winter and wood cabanas, it seems to be a popular spot as all of the cabanas are usually taken but be forewarned, you will be standing in a cloud of smoke as all the smokers come here to light up.
My experiences here are usually good, there have been multiple times where the people there are a big more aggresive than other times but I just brush that off, you will get this at any club you go to.
Drinks are regularly priced, not overly expensive, $7 for mixed drinks and $5 for shots. There are no snacks here, not even little appetizers you can order to munch on. I once had bottle service here and they offered us a free bottle of champagne but I do believe that was because we complained about them sticking us in a spot that had one chair and a 2 person couch for a party of at least 10 people. At least they did something...
It's not my favourite place to go as the music is not great and the people in attendance are usually d-bags, but it's a decent place to go if you want to shake your thang on a Saturday night. I think my distaste mainly stems from my frequent visits.
