by Esther C. on The crowd on Saturday night was very diverse and though I got there late (around 12:30a), I didn't have too much trouble getting in. The club is located on the western side of the H&H complex and themed as a classic version of Hollywood with elegant armchairs and lots of earth-tone colors. The downstairs area felt less crowded though the dance floor is upstairs. The layout is a bit funky since there is only one stairwell up/down and to get to the popular patio with the bottle service and neatly arranged over-hanging drape-like things you had to battle your way through the dance floor. The DJ (not sure who it was) played an array of music from house to top-40. He was a lot better than the other DJ from a club I ditched earlier to come to this one and my friends and I stayed till closing. Exiting the club was a moment of confusion since they directed us back upstairs when we headed downstairs and roundabout to exit the club. Luckily, I didn't need to use the restroom, especially since the location wasn't very intuitive and even when exploring the general layout, I didn't see it. Overall, the ambiance is worth experiencing and if it weren't for the funky layout, I might have awarded more stars.
by Kathy Lawlis on It's the old Zebra Lounge, nothing really has changed inside except the name! Went here this past Saturday with 10 of my girlfriends. Getting in was easy (of course with 10 girls). Rooms are set up great. Small room/bar in the front room, with a side VIP lounge and then upstairs a much larger room, with more VIP tables. Bartenders were cute and poured generously only peculiar problem that we found out was the bartenders charge differently from upstairs and the downstairs bars. Weird, considering it was the same exact drink (I noticed another Rateclub reviewer noticed that too). Get your act together guys on your bar pricing! I mostly go to clubs with the main purpose of getting low and really dancing, the dee jays were pretty bad. Both rooms kept switching from more fun popular hip hop, to old school slower hip hop and then threw in house music. It just didn't quite flow together to keep you moving. Got great drinks and then moved on to another club that night. I'd probably go back to check it out again in a few more months, perhaps after the dee jay figures it all out. Oh...for all the ladies out there, the bathrooms were SUPER clean.
by Edward I. on They need to expand it by 20-30 feet on all sides to make the place more comfortable. Located 1 block north of the 1 train off the Houston station. It's a little cramped and the music is loud because of it. 5 bucks before 7PM and 10 bucks after. Fridays are "Free Salsa Lessons" night from 7-8. The food is actually decent, try their chicken wings and the empanada looking thing, forgot what it's called but it has cheese and the other beef or chicken. But, I'd go there for drinks. The dance instructors or drunk guys/gals usually pull you from the table so you can dance. If you get there at 7PM, you'll know how to dance salsa by 10PM. Good place to hang with friends before continuing the night at a club.
