by Chi Fventes on Oh Duvet, how did you managed to fail so miserably. As soon as I arrived and saw the lines, I knew I was in for a long night. The bouncers were rude as hell. Dude, for reals, you should be gelling, not yelling! The lines were moving incredibility slow. Don't they know I had to pee from all the beers I drank before? Move it buddy!! I was supposedly on a guest list for reduced admission, but somehow I end up paying a whopping 40 bux. Yeah, that's right. That's 40 whopper juniors yo. I thought twice about bouncing, but I had to make a guest appearance. Boo hoo.. So I sucked it up and handed them 40 singles. That's right, I made them count. So I'm elated because I finally made it in. Did I mention I needed to pee? Houston we have a problem! It's so crowded inside. I'm a pretty slim fellow and I can't sliver my way through the crowd. I decided to man up and start bumping into chicks 3 times my size while they're shaking their booty. Trust you me, I was knocked back a good few times, but nothing will deter my mission. Alas I made my way through, down the steps and discovered it's a co-ed restroom. Pretty cool concept. Surprisingly, there's no line. We all know how the lines for ladies room can be, but who am I to complain. Did a quick coat check which cost me 3 more whopper Junior, and on I went with my night. The décor is pretty cool. Place looks chic and well put together. Instead of VIP tables, they have beds in place, which is a pretty unique idea. I'm not going to comment about the sanitary status of the beds or the sheets, as I didn't get bottle service, but I didn't see any neon light stains, so I guess it's clean enough. There's 1 main room with the dance floor which is pretty spacious. To the side is the bar with a good amount of space as well. As I mentioned there's a downstairs where the rest room is, but down the hall is another main room. I couldn't get in as I needed a "special" stamp, so only the privileged knows what's going on there. So far, I'm having just a stellar night. Went to the bar, and got two greygoose/ red bull, and got banged out for 30 bux. Wooo. I don't mind pricey drinks, (ok, I do), but please make it strong. The glasses were tiny and the drink were water down. Ok, I'm pretty annoyed now, but I can still make the best of this. I met up with my friends and was trying to get my boogie on. The music is pretty cool, with mostly hip hop/ top 40. I didn't mind all the talk by the DJ, but he was mixing way too much. Every time a good tune comes on, he'll end it way short and mix to another song. I know this is an isolated case as every DJ spins differently, but at this point I'm just hating. All in the while, we were bumped into, ran over by people who obviously need their own space because the general dance floor isn't big enough for them. Argh! Time to make an exit. All in all, a great nite, NOT!. Repeat I will not. Come on rateclubs, how about that zero star option!!!!!
by Domenic Gruenewald on Line down the block...skipped it. Drink prices high...champagne all night. Music bumpin on and on....danced till dawn. Crowd look hot and well dressed...I was one of them. When we walked up to Griffin, I had no idea where we were going or what we were doing. My friend lead the way and suddenly I found myself inside this magical den of dance, a bordello of bubbly, where everyone was shakin' it and having a good time. The dark interior and huge collection of mini chandeliers invoked an old world charm, but the sound system and bottle service brought you right back to now, now, now. Though I didn't have a taste of anything but PJ Rose, I've been told their cocktail list is fantastic, even at $15 - 20 a pop. Definitely a meat-packing district hot spot, we'll see if it stands the test of time or turns out to be just a passing trend.
by leen S. on I haven't been here, but my husband went last Friday night with the guys and it was a horrible time. Fights broke out in every corner. Drunk, drunken drunkards everywhere...ready to brawl. Sounds like a fun place! Ladies, go here if you want men to hit on you and HIT you literally. During one of the fights he witnessed, he saw a guy punch a girl straight on her jaw. Maybe she deserved it...I don't know...Save your money and don't go here!
