Tenjune. This was at one time the premier Meatpacking destination. Sleek wood interiors, with an attractive crowd and great DJ to. The door was tough, it wasn't easy to get into to Tenjune. No longer. Frank is losing it. Not sure why. The door used to be strong, the ratio was well maintained. But now he seems to let in mostly guys whom either he knows or are "known" to the establishment. What this results in is a strict door, with a boring, unattractive crowd on the inside. Honestly, it's become so dull, that the entire place could use a dose of Provigil. Anyhow, soon enough the place will be occupied by the next big thing. With the Boom Boom Room opening, there's a lot of competition now.

Ok.. Space Nightclub hands down is the best afterhours/Post 3am nightclub on the East Coast. The only club that could have held a candle to this legend maybe the Old Crobar Space in nyc. It attracts a diehard following of young and old house music lovers alike.This is the place to go to hear your favorite dj when in Miami, nothing can compare, it is the mandingo of nightlife when in south Florida. Everyone takes a taxi to this place, located in Downtown Miami, (one of the shady and dangerous areas in Miami) its always an experience trying to downtown, consider it a miracle just getting to the club safely. Usually there is always a huge line outside of this place. The whole block in fact is a total Sh*t show. Three other clubs dot this block and cars slowly creep past the clubs with revelers usually hanging out the side windows. Nice little strip club across the street as well with some real animals dancing there. Parking lot around & up the block, make for easy N quick parking. On one occasion in 2008, I was waiting with a group that included both DJ Boris & DJ Victor Calderone, we all had to wait upwards of almost 20-30 minutes before they even let us in. These guys both have played at Space and are some of the best DJ's in the country. This place charges generally a 100 plus during WMC in march. Well worth the cost of cover in my opinion, especially if your planning on spending a few hours here. In fact if you dont your missing out. Music wise it doesnt even begin to get good till 7-8am. Place peaks between 9 & 10am music wise, also nice to be able to hide out in the dark part on the semi outdoor section of the terrace that connects to the nightclub portion. Bathrooms here are super grimey, bouncers are even worse. Be careful these guys will try to shake you down if they catch you with drugs, they will definitely give you up to the cops after they loot you of all things valuable. The inside of the club is cavernous with one of the hardest & loudest sound systems found in any nightclub, always dark and eerily empty if you show up after 430am.. The terrace is what makes this place so popular and famous. Not that the regular portion of the club is terrible its just everyone comes here to get fu*ked up on the terrace. This reminds me, if you do drugs this is the place to do him and if you dont well than your missing out on part of the space experience. Nothing better than getting a Superman high, continuing to drink all morning (from 5am-1pm) and watching the scene that unfolds. The Eric Morillo Space Terrace Party during WMC may be the best party of the year here. Its packed to the gills, the chicks are hot and willing and everyone dances.. When he starts dropping dark Tribal beats, the fog machines light up, the bass pumps, your ectasy has you seeing double and the cracked out people all around you start to even look good. Words of Caution: Watch out for the trannies that may appear to be real woman; you need to go home with Ramon err I mean Ramona, the Haitian cab drivers outside who will drive you around sobe for a few hours and you wont even realize it, than demand his money and when you dont pay up will slice your arm with a Machette if not steal your internal organds; the door guys in the front who i have seen mark up the price of admission to upwards of 200 just to get in. Also if you do show up here post 4am and are not completely wrecked or high or plan to be at some point very soon, your better off staying home. Otherwise you will feel like your in a dont do drugs commercial, the type they play to Elementary school kids in 3rd grade. If you are a clubhead or methhead and never have been to space your missing out.

Awesome bar with delicious guiness, and friendly bartenders. Pretty straightforwad pub grub is available and the bathrooms were clean enough to drop a bomb in without toilet papering the seats. I recommend it!!!!
