by Ashley F. on O My Gosh! Me and my husband alwasy come here, and we love it! Everytime we go, it's always so packed we can barely move in and out of the crowds of people... but thats what makes it fun... They have three different dance rooms with different styles of music in each one. Me and my guy love the salsa/bachata room. They also have a nice poutdoor patio type thingy... when the weathers nice its ah - mazing! I never pay for our drinks so I couldnt tell you how that goes, but as far as the having fun part its def up to par! We always run into friends and another plus is theyre open till 4am!!!! Obviously last call is at 2am.... but we dance off all our alchohal and still leave with a nice buzz.... I guess you would have to be into latin style music, but Im telling u... u wont be disappointed if your adventurous.
by ang h. on Being a beancounter, I could not help but always perform a cost/benefit analysis of everything. Here's my quick-and-dirty take on Vessel table service: Scenario 1: A typical night out at Vessel, sans-table service Cover - $20 per person Drinks - 2 rounds of cocktail - $40 per person Total - $60 per person No of persons in a party - 8 Total outlay for a party of 8 - $480 Scenario 2: Table service Cost of table service - $400 + 20 % tip = $480 Table service comes with: 1) no waiting in line, 2) a bottle of KetelOne served in the ice bucket built into the table which could also double as a dance platform, 3) ample couch space with plush pillows that you can sit on when your feet start to give way after the punishment administered by those 5" Chanel stilettos, 4) bucket full of ice chips that you can munch on, and 5) (most importantly) an elevated deck from which you could observe the interesting cross-section of Vessel patrons: fully made-up cougars in tight-fitting dresses trying their hardest to fit in, mid-life crisis sufferers, youngsters who looked like they got in by way of fake IDs, and occasional sleazeballs trying their luck on anything and everything that moves. Without table service, you'll have to put up with the doormen, expend considerable amount of time and effort trying to convince them as to why you should be at the other side of the velvet rope, your feet have to put up with the 5" Chanel stilettos before you even hit the dance floor, and you will be the specimen being observed by those who have performed enough due diligence to decide that table service in this establishment is the way to go. And oh, there will be no bucket of ice chips. Comments? Questions?
