by Jennifer F. on This review is for Halo or Ritual; whatever your name is. The photos and address say Ritual but the huge black & white sign in the front says Halo. I call bullshit to the outside promoters. Don't make me wait for 25 minutes. The night is young, and I know my friends and I are on the vip list. We came early and had to wait because the promoters said they wouldn't let in more than 7 at a time. This isn't the Log ride at Disneyland!! Get your sheet together and let people in. We want to get our dance on for crying out loud! I had a fabulous time once I got inside. I got my water on the rocks rather fast. I also ordered a water at the "north" bar. They will charge 50 cents for the lime in your water. Make a big deal about it and get it free ;) Low budget black and white scheme was cool. Matte black walls were kind of dull perhaps a different finish would be more sleek ;) I loved the white lacqured bar and bubble light fixtures!!
by Soon Honzell on *singing* Everybody end's up... at the End Up... with their end up. -------------------------------- Not me though. My buddy brought me here as a practical joke one drunken night in the city and I got caught in a sweaty, shirtless, gay, mosh pit. Dammit! The place was hoppin', but it's not really my scene. I don't think I will ever live that story down - hardy hawr hawr.
by Alicia W. on lol I love the fact that I made my way half way down the reviews to see that everyone is pretty much on the same page about this place. The renovations are beautiful, I like the different rooms they have; salsa, house, top 40, although i'd like to hear something I wouldn't hear on a daily basis on my local radio station but......here we go.!! lol First and foremost, give the pretty exotic young lady who worked the VIP line/ list a raise! We were only a small part of a larger party that had VIP reservations but some how lines got crossed somewhere and there was a bit of confusion at the door. She handled it excellently. She was extremely and seemed genuinely polite! That's very rare in this industry....well maybe not rare, but the fakeness of it all shines through so they don't pull the "trying to be polite act" off very well at all. Needless to say we did not gain VIP entrance, but that's ok. Just in case something like that happened I signed up my friends and I to gain free access through the regular line. ******WARNING****** $10 a piece is not much and is techinically the usual for entry into a club, BUT if you are going to say free entry ends at 11:30 then you need to keep your word. We reached the door at 11:15 and informed them we were on a list. The bouncer said "Yeah, everybody keeps saying the list ends at 11:30 but you must be wrong because the lists close at 11" I guess they figure if you've stood in the line this long you aren't going to turn back now. I honestly would have because I wasn't pleased with the attitude but we were there for a birthday party and I hadn't seen the new renovations so we paid the cover and went inside. Although right after we paid the bouncer announced the cover was going up to $20. $20??? before 11:30pm. Not worth it at all. So I don't make this too long i'll say I would probably never go here again and I wouldn't recommend it. The staff is ehhhh besides the polite VIP girl, the drinks are $10 a piece min., the cover charge is ridiculous and apparently they don't abide by their 11;30 cut off time for free access, and although the club is beautiful the vibe is blahhh and i've been to and seen better places.
