I was even more surprised to see Firehouse open in the same place a couple of months back. My friends and I went opening night and have been back of couple of times since. And overall, the place is OK. Neither terrible nor great. And you definately have to be in the mood for a place like this.
The first thing that is going to be a turn off for most people is just getting the place. Usually there is a line to get in especially if you get there after midnight. And prepare yourself, cause I promise there will be group of people that know some dude and will walk straight in after you've been waiting for 10 mins. In addition to this, there is a slight cover of $5. Not enough to be angry, which is a business move but something you should be aware. And as far as I know, this applies to everyone so ladies, bring your wallet/purse/boyfriend. As far as I can tell they aren't tough with the dress code. Just look decent and you should have no problem getting in.
If you're familiar with Mickey's, nothing the patio will surprise, except maybe for the swing they've installed. There are booths and tables for those that want to talk without having to scream over booming music, which is a nice.
Before you walk inside, be prepare to be assaulted by loud music and tons of people. This place has been pack everytime I've been there, hence the line and cover. The thing is, for the most part, people are just standing around, chillin. The place has a decent sized dance floor but when people aren't dancing and just standing there, it cuts the size in half, which is annoying. This is weird cause for the most part, the DJ is pretty good. Like many place, for the first part of the night he plays Top 40 stuff, particularally hip hip, which is perfect for me. As the night rolls on it generally switches to house, which isn't my cup of tea but thats OK, to each their own.
There are two actual bars, one when you come in from the patio and one all the way in the back. The one in front is always packed, since it's near the entrance. The back bar is generally easier to get to the front of once you're back there and easier to get served too. The bartenders have always been nice to me usually get to me as soon as they can. Strong drinks too!
This place is best suited for a groups of people who are in a "F**k you! I want to dance all night" kinda mood (this place is open till 4am, but the stop serving at 2am just like everywhere else) and aren't super picky about the music they are dancing to. It's a nice looking place without the strict dress code so if you don't like getting all dressed up to dance, its good for that too! 3.5 stars
