The bartenders are friendly and the drink selection is creative, such as the Long Island Mr. Iced T. How cool is that?!
But this place is a hellhole for people who really like to dance without getting blind wasted. There is no designated dance area and the place is fairly large, so you end up with a bunch of people milling about, beers in hand. I have never seen so many people so slovenly drunk bumping into you or spilling their drink on you. It's like dancing in a barn with all the animals running loose. It's probably the gothiest place in town and I really wanted to like it place but all three times I've been I spent more effort trying to control my violent tendencies than having fun dancing.
And the DJ is overkill. Three screens show movies and videos which is fine. But it gets really annoying with the DJ calling out the names of every band and song. Perhaps he thinks you were too drunk to remember or too young to have lived it. We all know these songs by heart, it's totally cliche and they're not teaching us anything new. The DJ just likes being the center of attention which provides an abhorrent atmosphere.
They also completely mash songs together, sometimes running over the best parts of the end or even the middle of a song with the beginning of another. They do not watch the dance floor which is DJ Lesson #1. If a good thing is already happening on the dance floor, don't mess it up. I heard three crashes in a row on the dance floor one night and the entire crowd just stops moving. It makes it a memorable night. But not in a good way.
PS: Whatever happened to the "no bottles or glassware on the dance floor" rule? I guess they only enforce that at "classy" establishments.
