Honestly, I had a lot of doubt coming to Esso based on previous reviews, but me and the crew gave it a shot anyways. Being out of town, I didn't know what to expect, so we made sure to come early. We came here on a Friday night. As most clubs usually do, they made people wait until there was a sufficient line buildup. However, unlike some clubs (ahem, Compound), the line was extremely quick without any hassle from the bouncers. It was free for men before 11 pm, and 11:30 pm for ladies. Esso has two separate room: the bar/lounge area and the main dance floor. The main dance floor didn't open until after 11:30. Once that room opened, it was on! The main room is very spacious and can hold a lot of patrons. What about the drinks? Now I know drinks can be expensive depending on where you go, but $10 for a cranberry and vodka? I guess that's how it is in the A! The bartender was nice though and made good drinks. The DJ was on point pretty much a good majority of the night, until he started repeating songs from earlier that he played. One thing I cannot complain about is the fact that he kept the women moving. Speaking of women, there was a sense of "groupie love" that hit about 75% of the women at Esso. Once the celebrities came to the party, the dance floor vacated quicker than a pack of mice who found out that there was no cheese. The dance floor straight stage left, literally. Another thing to point out, as other reviewers have mentioned, is the fact that smoking is allowed here. Pretty much anything goes, so be prepared. Not a bad visit at Esso. Not the best experience, but not the worst either.

The prices were not superb, but I met Phillip Seymour Hoffman here. That deserves four stars. I wouldn't go to this joint on a weekend.

Last time I was here, it smelled like vomit everywhere I turned. It wasn't me, I brought visitors from out of town so I was watching my intake. Good view, Ok music and I would go back for Salsa lessons night!
