by Rashad Gorelli on A bit small but it's a bar after all and not a club. Very crowded dance floor. Some hot guys here. Unfortunately for me, straight.
by Galen Santarpia on Oh Friday night at Venu, how do I describe thee? The night started off with a $15 cover charge shocker despite the fact that the place seemed empty and the advertisement stated $10 before 11:30pm but... whatevs. We came all the way out here... what's the extra $5? Thankfully, there was a live band playing in the other room that was AWESOME. I love jazz and their fresh take on recent hits was a pleasant backdrop to good conversation and sneaky people watching. I will note that the bar was severely understaffed... there was one bartender for a bar that easily sat about 30 people that was in a room with probably at least 50 people. Needless to say, my friends and I had to wait a long time for drinks and food. At midnight the jazz band disbanded (teehee) and a singer and her pianist took their place... but the girl's voice was meh at best so I ventured back over to the other side. Let the bumping and grinding commence! The dance floor was packed! The DJ was playing a decent music selection but the general tone of the room was "I'm grown, I'm sexy, I've got my sh-t together" pretentiousness. This vibe was even oozing from the people who CLEARLY did NOT have their "sh-t together." It was a weird vibe but there definitely were some beautiful and well-dressed men in the midst so I have to give Venu and extra star for that. It was all together a decent experience and I definitely preferred the first portion of the night to the second but then again, I didn't take a nap before going out and it was past my bed time....*blush*. DAMN IT! I'm an old woman!
by Marcus F. on The only reason to be here is for the music which totally depends on whose spinning. Otherwise this place is a complete waste. Drinks are pricy sure, but they're terribly made, by poor bartenders.
