by Lourdes Stryjewski on OK, I admit my review is going to be colored by the fact that I saw a comedian that I LOVE (Sebastian Maniscalco). The other 2 comedians, meh. Sebastian rocked. We ate dinner there so we could sit as close as possible, and we did. We were in the front row, which was awesome. As far as the food, it was tolerable. I had Cesar salad and it was weak. The chicken breast was dry. The seating for the show is uncomfortable but that's not why you're there right? There was NO parking on the street. Sure there were meters but they all were flashing "FAIL FAIL" whatever the hell that means. You can't park in the neighborhood behind because they require parking stickers. So do yourself a favor, use valet. It's $6, come on cheapo. What really impressed me was the fact that I had a couple questions the week before and I sent e-mails to a guy named Peter at the Improv and he was totally helpful and got right back to me. Amazingly when I arrived there he had done what he said he'd do. Imagine that. Got to meet Sebastian after the show. Awesome!
by Harington O. on The following post is based on everything being free! I was there yesterday with coworkers for a company outing. We had lanes 17 - 22, lane 17 was the darkest by far oh yeah it was like 1pm and it looked like it was a dark nightclub in there. Nice projection screens situated above the end of the lanes displaying sports which I won't complain about. On to the food and drinks. I had a cheeseburger which was pretty good with some fries no complaints there (remember it was free). Overall the bowling alley is pretty big and is a nice place. From what I inquired the prices for bowling are a bit steep at 28 bucks a person! Stick to other bowling alleys that are based on just bowling and not making it seem like a nightclub.
by Rosy Rohland on During my trip out to SoBe recently, I actually ended up here two times. The first time was on a Thursday night. Cover for guys was $30 and for girls $20. We didn't have an issue of getting in because we had more girls than guys. Like Vegas, ratio will definitely help. Our gal pals walked up to the front and got the attention of the doormen. That's how we got in so fast and bypassed the lines. For Thursday night, it was pretty packed. Drinks here are pricey like any happening place in SoBe but I think we didn't care anymore because we were all drinking like it was water at that point. Lil' Kim showed up way later in the night to celebrate her birthday or something. That's when it got really crazy. At that point, I was ready to pass out and we took off not long after. We came back to Mansion on a Saturday night. This time it took us a little bit longer to get in because our ratio was 3:2 and not 3:4 like on Thursday night. We crowded up at the front and waited for a while. I was going to give up when they finally let us all in. Bad ratio I tell you. This time, it was $20 for both guys and girls. Note: those bands you get from those "promoters" on the street and the beach does NOT guarantee you admission nor does it get you into the club faster. What does? Having female friends. Not unless you are buying bottles which I heard is ridiculous in SoBe, either bring your female friends or get to know some women quick and invite them with you to places like Mansion. Saturday was a little bit different because of the music. In the main room, they played a lot of house/trance style music. It's a nice change up but I soon found myself hanging out in the smaller, more crowded room which would have been considered the hip hop room. This room was packed with bodies and the music was good. People were dancing everywhere and everyone was having a good time. Talk about working up a sweat. We walked to Mansion or cabbed it when we were lazy. If you can avoid driving your car here, then do it. Walking or taking a taxi is way more convenient and safer! The crowd is generally mixed here and for the most part, there was no drama that I saw. Some of the bouncers here are a bit pushy. All in all, I think we all had a good time. The company, the music, the drinks, and no drama. Remember, if you're going with a bunch of guys, be ready to wait, buy bottles, or look for female companions.
