by Lora Kaduk on I really enjoyed my visit here last weekend. A few months ago, some nice looking ladies handed out passes to this place to us Crescent street patrons. When I got it I thought, I don't think I'll ever use it, or I'll save it for a nice night out after a crummy week. So that week finally came last week. The passes could only be used for entry before 11, and anytime from 11 - 12.30 the club, any club is dead. I was just about to tap out and call it an unsuccessful evening until something happened somewhere and the crowd just lit up. We had this interesting group of friendly, fun, unpretentious and alive people. Not at all what I expected. The music was a trendy mix of nineties old skool and modern day hip-hop and top 20 hits. The drinks were expensive and cause you to restrict the night's drinking to a two drink evening or budget wisely. Great time, still. Not at all how I remember the clubs and once you get older all the clubs start to look a little the same, so it's nice to experience something a little different. May try them once again before Christmas and hope for the same luck as before, either that or my visit was a fluke.
by Stacy Vaugh on Drunks is defiantly like going back in a time tunnel. It is a good place to visit if overwhelmed with all of the big clubs around and want to get back in proportions & feel cozy again... Bartenders are usually nice & welcoming, drinks are strong & cheap! If bored, you can always put your name on the list for a pool game or two. People are generally nicer & less pretensions over here. I don't know why but I always had sympathy for this place. It is a safe heaven for the older, shyer, weirder crowed although sane and normal enough to hang out at even if you are mainstream. Door guys are usually friendlier too and less uptight. Defiantly a place to start your night at, or close it. Great place to have a drink or eight, Cheers! Yalla bye!
by Marcy R. on Oh my sweet Jesus Christ in heaven. This is a great place to get your dance on. Extremely stylish. But do not. I repeat. Do NOT show up here under any circumstance unless you've already had a fabulous head start. I showed up completely sober to meet some friends around 2 the evening I went--the crowd was naturally WAAY ahead, and my friend (girl who writes for a magazine and always takes a limo everywhere and gets bottle-service) had already finished her bottles of Grey Goose with my other friends that evening. My first drink? The weakest grey goose and cran I have ever experienced. Cost: 18 dollars. Well damn. I will get a second drink (in a lame attempt to catch up), how about a glass of champagne. At least I know it won't be watered down, and it can't POSSIBLY be more than the first drink! Cost: 25.00 What? I asked. 25.00 You see, fellow rateclubsers, I'm used to the "gay-bar pour." And they're usually 7-12 dollars at most, even in New York! What can I say...I guess I've been spoiled!!! And to clarify, though I'm poor, I'm not cheap. (I've been server ona nd off for the past 10 years, after all!) I generally will tip 30-50 percent a drink in most cases. I just don't want to feel like I'm being totally robbed, you know? I suppose I could have thrown myself at some guy for a "free" one, but we all know nothing is "free." Not my style. I was slightly sad to not be able to get my buzz on with 45.00 at 5'2, 105 lbs, but I suppose it is partly my fault for not doing that beforehand. After hanging and dancing for a couple hours, I pulled a french retreat and disappeared into the night. I know, I'm a bad friend. All that aside, I truly enjoyed the ambiance and DJ. Loved the wall murals, wood detail, the fact that they don't care if you stand up and dance on the booths in your stilettos. Overall a fierce place! Really cool decor, dug the crowd. I would come again to dance, but after I have already been out, which I'm sure any person with half a brain does anyhow, I just was off to a late start that evening. Oh, and they have wierd crazy/fun bathrooms....like walking into a secret black wall panel. If you like a cigarette with your cocktail as I do, bring them! You can smoke in here! By the time I left, it was obvious that several things were being smoked out in the open....just sayin......
