by Jake D. on I came here a few weeks ago for a birthday, and that calamity was bad enough. I held off on the bad review until I gave them another shot. Well I did and they failed even harder. 1st trip -- we had reserved a table for a birthday, and as reservations were made it was made clear to us that if we weren't there by 9:00 they would give our table away. So we arrive at 8:45 and they make it out to be a big inconvenience to them that we arrived......15 minutes early. Nothing was setup, and they scrambled to get a "party" table put together (which I don't think ever reached the size we had reserved). All decorations became "we could put ________ on the table but........we'd need for you all to get up". So after all this I thought it could be a fluke, so we gave them another shot last night...... 2nd trip -- Had a friend come in from England and he wanted to go to the bars at Westgate. God forbid he wore shorts on his trip to.........Arizona, so we weren't allowed in. It's Thursday night. And no matter how hard you try, you are not a Scottsdale bar. Choke on your impending failure.
by Blaise S. on Everybody knows about the clubs in south beach, so of course we checked it out while we were in Miami! We decided on Mansion because we asked the valet at our hotel and he hooked us up with free passes. At least, we thought they were free passes. Ended up they gave us VIP admission (which was nice we didn't have to wait in line) and a free drink each. Well, I wish it was free admission since it was $25 per person, very pricey comparing to Chicago clubs. But that's really where the comparisons stop. This place was ginormous (you know, gigantically enormous). It doesn't open until 11 pm but is open into the wee hours. The music was good, they had attractive bartenders and the drinks didn't take too long to get. It got packed around 1 am and shortly thereafter they had gorgeous gogo dancers everywhere. You're going to drop a pretty penny here though, as we found that drinks are way, way, way (did I mention way?) overpriced. But I must say that south beach clubs lived up to the hype and we all had a good time here.
