| - I went to Cabin Five on a Friday, and had a surprisingly good time!
I'm not super in to the whole "clubbing" thing, so when my roommates friends visited, and they changed the plans to "dancing" I can't say I was thrilled. However, we decided to try out Cabin Five and had a great time!
Though I do agree that the stairs going in are completely ridiculous for any establishment with alcohol, they were kind of hilarious and fun. We paid $10 cover (annoying, since guest list apparently doesn't get you anything), and even when I tried to play the "It's my birthday" card (ok, it wasn't my birthday), I still had to pay the full $10.
When we got into the bar, I was immediately HORRIFIED that I had paid $10, as there were ACTUALLY only four other people in the entire place! We were trying to think of an escape plan, but decided to stick it out, and I'm happy I did! It got packed around 12:30, and a ton of Canuks fans celebrating a win came in which really added to the fun, casual atmosphere. We ended up dancing until around 2:30, and the place was still packed.
The main drawback of this place was that the DJ was switching songs all over the place, which is sooooo annoying. I see that tons of others have commented on the same thing (I now hope the DJ reads this and fixes it!).
I love a place where I can go, dance, have cheap drinks, AND wear flats the whole time without feeling like a fool.
Bonus: drinks were only $3.50, which made the $10 cover seem much more legitimate.
