Once inside, The Flats was a fun place with reasonably priced drinks. However, we waited an extremely long time outside- which would have been forgivable if there weren't so many people let in in front of us for no apparent reason. They didn't show any advanced purchase tickets or wristbands and didn't look like "VIPs" - just regular college students or 20 somethings. They also didn't appear to be paying cover. I assume the bouncers let a lot of friends inside- and all bouncers do, but the number of people that skipped the line brought it to a standstill. While the first floor was packed and it was hard to get a drink, the second floor was less crowded and more fun. It was a good night but we should
Have been able to spend more of it inside with drinks instead of outside in line.
