by Robert M. on Great bookings, nice open space, solid sound system, decent drinks. Sure, you'll wait in line to get in but watching the comings & goings of the Porn Palace across the alley, makes it highly enertaining.
by Stephen Kaba on Either I'm getting too old...or clubs are getting lamer. Maybe it's a little of both. I wanted to try somewhere new for my bday celebration in the city, so my girls decided to take me to Icon. None of us really heard of it, but we were open to giving it a shot. My friends are sweet and got a VIP table w bottle service which I was looking forward to. My friend worked closely with the host before the party and he guaranteed that we would have a great table. As I walked in, my first thought was "Damn...everyone looks 21." I felt really out of place. The place was packed and the host was leading us to our private table. I stopped a couple times thinking we arrived at the table next to the main dance floor, but strangely enough, he led us to some weird separate room off to the side where there was NO ONE. Hmmm ok. We asked if we can get a table in the main area and he said no. He explained that this table was actually the best since this back area gets lively later in the night. Yea whatever. I wasn't going to let that get me down...hopefully it would get better. He went back to get the vodka. We said we didn't have preference of what kind of vodka and Ciroq would be fine. We waited over 20 minutes for the bottle! The girl ended up coming by with some Grey Goose instead. We thought they were giving us the upgrade for free, but we were mistaken. He attempted to make up for the wait by offering me a free shot of kamikaze which was ughhhh gross. Another annoying aspect was that my friends paid for the table and random drunk people kept sitting down in our area. We would try to get them to leave, but the bouncers didn't even care when we told them. This happened throughout the night. Hours went by...no one was coming into the room. It was quite sad. A drunk girl would come in periodically and dance by herself. Then three girls came in and made out with each other. That could have been interesting, but they weren't even hot. Finally when a lot of people started coming in, we realized this crowd was ghetto. There was this one girl with a white denim outfit having booty droppin dance-offs with everyone. She was so serious....like she was practicing her moves in the mirror earlier that day. Hey, I'm all for dance-offs. I've been known to have a few...however mine are a bit more on the joking side consisting of the re-run and the robot. Another girl was wearing a shirt as a dress. We just sat there and watched. Taking bets on how soon it would ride up and we would be forced to see something we didn't want to. I had fun with my girlfriends anyway...it doesn't really matter where we are. I felt bad because they spent a lot of time and effort finding a fun place and unfortunately our experience wasn't a good one. All in all, this place was a huge disappointment. Would not recommend going there at all. ----- Management contacted me a while back regarding my review and offered a free bottle service. Haven't taken them up on the offer...but it was a nice gesture.
