by Holly C. on Ohh "O"/dgrm (as my friends & I have nicknamed it). I've come to accept this place as my "safety" club. I know what to expect when I come here so if I'm out at a place that's kinda ehh, I'll find my way back to this spot. Thursday nights: I think are the best. The music is good all night, and it's an older working crowd. It gets crowded but not TOO crowded. Friday nights: younger crowd. Usually 19-ish year old girls & younger 20's guys (I'm guessing the older people are recuperating from the night before) Saturday nights: a mix of ages, hit-or-miss with crowd in general. *Friday & Saturday nights can get ridiculously packed - just a warning! The music usually starts with really good hip-hop. Around 1:30 you'll hear some K-pop/house/trance tracks. Around 2:30-3, it returns to top 40's & hop-hop tracks again. DJ Benjamin's good so I usually have fun on the dance floor when he's spinning. I never have a problem at the door because we usually roll in a group of 6 girls & we get a table. The door seems extremely difficult for guys. I would recommend getting a table, and don't wear sneakers (I still don't understand why guys will even think of wearing sneakers to clubs in this day & age when they know it's hard for them to get in to begin with). Girls - don't wear Ugg boots or even flats. I've been there on nights when I saw the door girl turn away girls who weren't in heels. Drinks are ~$14 for well drinks or patron shots. Tables are about $320 for a bottle of Johnny Black (which I still swear they water down :P), a fruit platter with tax & gratuity included. If you treat the waiters & bartenders well, they'll treat you really well in return. I'll see you in a week or so "O".
by Minna Worland on Upon entering this establishment all the artificial fauna gave me a flashback to that weird animatronic puppet show thing at Disneyland with the singing bears. What is that thing called? Anyway, I asked the un-uniformed guy at the podium for a table, and I had to shout my request over the loud Spanish karaoke blaring through the place. A waitress showed me to a table in the back. It soon became obvious I was the only non-Dominican in the place. I did my best to slouch into the shadows like Aragorn at the Prancing Pony. I had 3 bottles of El Presidente ($5), which was delicious but pricey. I ordered the grilled pork chops ($10.95), which were 2 large chops blackened Caribbean-style and totally delicious. My only complaint was the salad was just shredded iceberg with some gamy tomatoes and no dressing. Maybe they don't have salad in the Dominican Republic? I am an ignorant jackass.
