by Margo R. on I'm no architect, but I estimate you could fit about three or four normal - sized clubs inside the enormous Compound. This place is MAMMOTH. There are advantages to a club this size: each room is unique, so if you don't like the vibe or music in one spot, you can easily relocate. There are a number of rooms with cozy couches and others with mesmerizing music and wide spaces to dance. The downside is the challenge to keep track of your friends and that cute guy across the room with whom you shared an intimate moment (sigh). Keep in mind that someone going to "the bar" has entered infinity and may never be seen again. You might spend the night solo hunting your friends, which isn't so pleasant. Or perhaps you will meet some friendly strangers. A variety of people frequent this club: locals, people traveling, college and grad students, younger and older professionals, etc. If you have the chance to speak with someone over the spinning music, you might have an interesting conversation. Remember this place is expensive - $10-$20 to enter, and a mixed drink is at least $8. If you are willing to spend the money and aren't intimidated by large venues and crowds, you are likely to have a great time.
