by Marissa O. on If you love HOUSE MUSIC- Avalon is the hot spot! Good hookups if you know promoters and staff. Bit pricey when big Djs are spinning. Management is cool, if you go with a bunch of girls you'll get in fast with no problems. Not many fights, everyone is all about teh music and dancing!!
by Chelsea-Anne H. on I only ever get to come here when my friends from LA come up here and demand to go to DNA Lounge, whereas my Norcal friends always turn their noses up at it (don't like to have fun, I guess). Unfortunately, my friends from LA also relentlessly pour alcohol down my throat and bring out the absolute worst in me. I'm really hoping that the DNA employees haven't begun to recognize me, because I do like them all quite a bit. I love the DNA Lounge. I love the employees. Someone complained about this below, I actually appreciate when the bouncers physically steer me through the doors or away from them before my drunk ass collides with a wall or the pavement. Even when I am stone sober and don't need the assistance (which... might mean they *are* starting to recognize me). I love the different 'nights' they host. I went home to LA and went to a couple of shows that were billed similarly-- didn't even hold a candle. I said to my dad, 'you come up north, and I'll show you what this should have looked like.' With the exception of *one* minor miscommunication with the Coat Check Girl that was starting to get ugly (i checked my purse, realized I'd lost my ticket, and was told I'd have to wait until the end of the night to get it back, when my more PRESSING concern--that she would not listen to-- was that if I had lost my ticket, then someone else could have found it, and I didn't want to wait four hours to find out if that disastrous scenario would play out) I have always always always been very happy here. Some points: 1. Bring Cash. 2. Water is available in bottle form only. If you are desperate, tip your bartenders well and hope they reward you with a cup when you need one. Alternatively, there is a fountain (that doesn't seem to work), and sinks in the bathroom. I have always comforted myself by remembering that the sinks in the bathroom and plumbed with the same pipes as the fountain outside the bathroom, and I don't think I want to know if this isn't true. 3. There is a healthy mix of different subculture adherents on a given night, but for any night there is a consistently strong goth/etc presence. If you are unused to a mixed dance floor, know that strangers will touch you when you dance, deliberately and accidentally, but definitely constantly. On the other hand, you need to know that the hottie with the combat boots is used to having a three foot notouchy space to get down in, and putting your hands on her is a stabworthy offense amongst her people. Proceed with caution, Mr. Hands. 4. Having said that this place always has a very friendly vibe, and everyone seems to get along with everyone very well. 5. Revisiting what I said above in 2: Tip your bartenders well anyway. They will do you good. They seem to have a pretty good memory which... um... I might actually not be so grateful for, now that I think about it. 6. The bouncers will be VIGILANT about enforcing codes and rules. Do what they say, and cut them some slack. (1) People get STUPID fucking drunk here with reckless abandon, and (2) ABC is all up on their asses. Which means that people are getting stupid fucking drunk and trying to do all sorts of stuff that ABC is licking its chops hoping for. Yeah, they're gruff about it, but they're bouncers, not party hosts, and your kinda drunk. 7. Stuff doesn't usually get going until eleven or so, but I've never regretted coming earlier, because you can handle all the hassle-y stuff (line, check in, first drink, coast check) in ten minutes or less. 8. The bathrooms get kind of gross by the end of the night. There are no seats in the women's bathrooms and no handrails in some of the stalls (I have not been so bold as to inspect the men's). Wear shoes you can balance in, and work on your quads. 9. The floors also get WAY gross by the end of the night, and sometimes slippery. You will step in something. Someone will step on you. They will be too drunk to notice, and so will you. Count on getting something sticky spilled on you. Hope that it is beer. Judicious selection of attire and footwear will reflect the understanding of these conditions. (the purse thing, by the way, was resolved expeditiously and professionally by the manager, who, if I'm putting the pieces together correctly while i'm writing this MAY WELL TOTALLY REMEMBER WHO I AM and remember all that embarrassing crap from past nights I'd rather not and mostly don't remember myself. He even offered my his arm while leading me through the crush to solve the problem in about ninety seconds, which is especially sweet since I'm sure he would have rather thrown me over the balcony. Hey manager guy! I will totally do bathroom maintenance for you one night for that. For getting my purse, I mean; not for resisting the desire to toss me over the handrail. One volunteer bathroom attendant at your service!
by Nikita Hadaller on On the weekends the clientele is really frightening. It's the sort of place that makes me afraid to be dating after, oh, 45 or so. There is nothing dignified about the scene here - expanding waistlines, receeding hairlines, revealing outfits that maybe looked hot 15 years ago, and "dad"* sweaters abound. The desperation is palpable. BUT - during the week you can catch some really good live music and escape the pick-up scene. The staff is lovely (I adore the female bartender - I think she's an owner - and her particular brand of sass and no shit taking attitude), the food is excellent, the drinks strong, and all for very reasonable prices. *not anything you would wear, Dad
