by Tasha H. on not one of the better clubs i have been to. lets keep in mind that i am the kind of person to make a piss smelling hallway shaped bar the best night ever. so my standards are pretty damn vague. my first and only experience at Circus (see: http://www.rateclubs.com/bi...) was mildly exciting. i had previously heard so much about this spot from event coordinators like Spundae and Giant. but, since the event coordinators dont actually run the club, i am going to lay out my opinions of the venue and its employees. i went on a saturday, one of the most expensive nights to not sit on your ass. and for $25 i wasnt sure if getting off the couch was a better idea. the club owner just sliced the heads off the event coordinators; closed guest list early to charge full price and rake in the profits for themselves. not cool, and viciously money hungry. the people handling guest list and tickets were just rude, a little condescending. they ruin the club before you even get inside! it is a very nice looking club... 5 rooms with full bars and a VIP lounge upstairs. the main room had go-go platforms and 2 stages. awesome sound system to rattle your brain. the bathrooms were located in good spots so there were never any wait-lines. the outside patio has heat lamps, cabanas, and tables to sit, smoke, a chat. it looked very similar to the Vanguard's patio (probably the same designer). the bartenders are nice, they were all men from what i saw. bottled water was $4 but it had a cool little flip cap. i didnt order up any liquor because i dont like drinking at expensive looking clubs. silly, i know. the parking was ridiculous. expect the parking lot that Circus shares with Arena to fill up by 1030. hunting for a spot on the street was extremely difficult (but i found one!). and there are other lots in the area, but they were already full too. so what kind of people show up to dance at Circus Disco? well... LGBT people and asian people. thats it. i dont know what it is that make droves of asian ethnicities flock to flashing lights and sing songy trance music, but if anyone ever finds out please do tell. to sum it up... it was crappy. semi-ok electronic music. the employees were shitty (not including the bartenders). parking sucked. but the actual venue was beautiful. id rather go to my piss smelling hallway with awesome music and awesome people than hang out in a nice venue with everything that i hate. the end.
by Jacinta Folts on I haven't been to a good club night in a really long time. My best friend Jamillah is in town and she wanted to go out. I wanted to make sure that she had a good time but i also wanted to rally as many people to go out with me so I could have an awesome party. I end up talking to Nick and he tells me that he'll be at Bootie. I look and up and once i see the skulls and cross bones, i immediately knew what i was getting myself into. MASHUPS!!!! I'm a super huge fan of mashups and seeing names like Party Ben and Earworm only made my desire to go so much more. They basically have a live show of dancing and entertainment while playing their mashups. The music is off the charts. Everyone is dancing and having an awesome time. There is absolutely no room anywhere but you find a spot and just make it part of the dance floor. I had so much fun but by 2:30am i was spent. My thighs were sore and I could barely bend for any dancing. I wish i didn't have to leave but my body was shutting down and the party had died down by then. I actually can't wait to go back. FUN FUN FUN!
by Greg M. on this place was okay.. we got in right away and once inside it was really crowded on sat night. I went with a group of about 15 people. the drinks are priced right $10 of well drinks $6 beers. the cover was only $20. The bouncers could use some people skills. I undertand its a HOLLYWOOD club but there is never a need to be rude to paying customers. all in all I would probably go back.
