by M W. on I headed here once, not knowing what to expect, for a co-worker's birthday. Since I live in the city I always have a small bag with me seven months of the year carrying at least a rain shell. On arrival the bouncers told me that I couldn't come in because my bag was a fire hazard. No, bro, there's no coat check. When asked to explain how exactly a small bag is a fire hazard I was told that I would probably leave it in an isle when I'm "falling down drunk" later. Apparently I look stupid and unable to handle my booze. As I was leaving two drunk marina boys were being ejected. There was lots of posturing and threats and they clearly wanted to start some shit or at least puff their chests and imply "do you know who I am" a couple times. Turns out stupid and unable to handle their booze is Bruno's target audience.
by Mitchel Point on I went to Vault Sat night since ladies were free all night. We just had to say the secret code "9". It was something they were promoting that night. The Vault is the one downstairs and you have to pay a separate entrance fee to get into Element. Make sure you know which door you are entering. A guy friend of mine went to the Element side not realizing that it didn't give entrance to the Vault. So, he paid at Element and then another entrance fee at Vault :-( He said it was nice upstairs and bigger but there was hardly a crowd. Guy friends paid $20. It is ok to wear sneakers in good taste. It was a little after 12 in Vault and there was hardly anyone there as well. It was pretty empty at first and we were getting very disappointed. We still made the best of it and made some new female friends. Bartender said it wasn't like that the night before. Around 1:30, a good amount of ppl came in. The music was mainly hiphop, reggae and rnb. There is a $50 min to run a tab at the bar. He will keep your credit card and ID till you close it. The bathrooms were unisex. You basically share stalls with the guys and some dudes didn't bother closing the door...so...some booty was sticking out..lol. I wasn't staring or anything. It was just there...so..what was I suppose to do?!?...lol. Foreal. The place was pretty small and intimate. I don't like it too big but it also seems too small. I liked that it wasn't too crowded and I actually had room to dance. If it was ghetto, I'd give it 2 stars but it kept the classy feel. Would I come back? I highly doubt it.
