Came to Encore Beach Club and Surrender's pre-opening party about a week ago. Surrender was unfortunately the worst part of the night for me.
First of all, when walking in here I had no idea it was a separate club because it was SO TINY. I thought it was an off-shoot of the Beach Club since it has a large bar area there, but nope it's a separate club. I don't think I have ever seen a club this small, it's gotta be less than 2500 square feet. The decor is nice and the set-up is decent, but it gets very packed very quickly.
The DJ though... my god. I don't think I have ever been so bored at a club in my life, and I wasn't the only one because NO ONE was dancing. I guess since it was a pre-opening that the crowd just did not care to have a good time which is not the fault of the club but the music definitely could have given it a boost. I wanted to dance but the music was terrible to get my groove on to.
I don't think I would come here when it is fully open - maybe to the beach, but not this club. And they definitely need a DJ who can keep a crowd interested. Overall I was not too impressed even if it was beautiful.
