I have been to the Kong maybe three or four times, mainly because it's close to where my friends live. In those travels, I have picked up the following tips on making this place less likely to suck: 1. Bring two forms of picture ID. My first time going there the bouncer asked all of us for two forms of photo ID, which I did not have. The only reason I was able to get in was because my brother had two IDs and the addresses on our drivers licenses matched, so the bouncer conceded that mine must be real. Generally, the bouncers here are blatant jackasses - they let our friend from Ghana (who has a foreign ID) in one week and the next they said that the very same ID card "looked fake" and would not let her in. So, no matter what, be prepared to have some issues at the door. 2. If you go into the bar, order ANYTHING but a Scorpion Bowl. As many others have noted, they taste like watered-down Kool-Aid and are served in unwashed bowls (gag gag gag). You'd probably contract less germs from licking a toilet. 3. On that note, try to avoid the bathrooms. I can't speak for the men's room, but the stalls in the ladies' room are about 2' x 2' and require a staggering feat of contortion to be used without making a mess. Since most of the frequenters are trashed and need to evacuate the copious amounts of alcohol they've consumed, the situation gets grim fast. 4. Go with a group. The music on the dance floor usually kicks off with campy 80s hits ("Hey Mickey," really?) that are only fun if you're dancing like a fool and joking around with other people who appreciate the godawfulness of the situation. The selection usually gets good later on, but the DJs can be spotty to say the least. 5. Make sure there's a guy included in your group. If you're female and care about keeping your personal bubble intact, you will need a male line of defense against the sketchy Tonys and Viggos and Werts who will stand in the corner of the dance floor leering at you for 25 minutes before they attempt to swoop in like horny vultures and feast on you by way of skanky grinding. 6. Watch where you step while you're dancing. Invariably, some dingbat manages to spill his/her drink all over the floor (or if you're lucky, all over you!), and invariably, some other dingbat doesn't notice and takes a nasty fall as a result. Make sure that (1) you are not either of those dingbats, and (2) that if the second dingbat is near you, don't get taken down in the process. Those are my tips for making the Kong standable. Even if you follow all of them there's a good chance that the evening will be a bust, but it at the very least, it makes for fun, geez-can-you-believe-that-happened stories afterward.

This club was thee spot for my friends and I a couple of years ago. Thursday night? Rouge! We had "hook-up's" 'cause we were with the Dj's so no cover charge and cheap drinks. Ahh...those were the days. I was probably to wasted to notice the other people =/ Plus, I was having too much fun with my friends. I can't say much about this establishment now since I have been there in a while and I also heard that it's under new management.
