| - Two female friends from Charlotte and me get a town car at the Omni Hotel where I stayed during my visit and head to Butter. It was raining this night but finally made it to the club wearing a suit and the girls wearing club dresses and heels, on top of that I have a table reserved so it shouldn't be a problem getting in right?..Well not quite
Gave the bouncer with the "clipboard" my credentials so he could find my reservation. One minute he says yes my name was on the list then the next he says No. I politely asked him to check again. During this time, I remained courteous about the situation but the girls with me were growing a little impatient because we were getting wet. Some manager later came to our table to apologized for the misunderstanding. I stated it was no big deal, but made him aware a friend was joining us later and to make sure he would not have a problem getting in. "Your friend is on your list so no problem". Ok cool so in we go. 20 minutes later my friend calls and tells me they would not let him in. Went back upstairs to find out why. My friend is african-american and while I'm upstairs explaining to them that he is on the list with our party, one of those guys at the door questioned me whether or not I even had a table reserved. Again back to the same nonsense. By this time I'm thinking this place doesn't know how to do VIP bottle service properly. Butter is lacking competence in this area. Finally, after dealing with ineptitude upstairs, he is allowed in.
Now for the club review itself, the table was supposed to sit 6 people and it barely fit 3 and it was four of us, the table itself should be more ample, not to mention the couches were uncomfortable both of which need improvement. The music was off for most of the night but that happens in every club some nights so I won't hold it against it. Most of it lies with the DJ to keep the crowd happy but it was alright, I did have a little bit of fun.
The positives about the place... The cute servers coming to your section to make your drinks, the security personnel inside and the sight of women which is always a positive at any club. Now after reading some reviews, I have to disagree respectfully with comparisons to the Vegas mega clubs. Come on now, XS/Surrender the whole club is VIP. Frankly, I don't think Butter deserves all this hype. It's an average club.
Many of you agree butter is the best club in CLT and so do the girls I went with that saturday night. I'll take your word for it. I think is a good club.
