Is this place still open?
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
Don't get me wrong, but I read an article in the Tribune that this and Crescendo are closed because the owners of these clubs have some "financial issues" that they are facing? I'll be shocked to find it still in business. But anyway, I remember coming here in 2006 in January to celebrate my cousin's birthday. Although there was some confusion at the door when we were supposed to get in for free and them having 2-3 guest lists for I don't know how many events that were being held, we did get in without any hassle (thanks to actually printing the e-mail that we were supposed to get in for free). The inside is definitely awesome with the bamboo and the red painted walls. Upstairs was a VIP area, but we didn't get to go up. But what I have beef is with the price of the drinks. They ARE pricy, and there isn't that much room to dance either. But overall, the place isn't bad at all, even better than Narcisse in regards to ambiance if I may say so (you can read my review on that too). But would I stay the whole night? I don't think I would, especially if you're not VIP (and you do need mucho dinero to climb those step to the upstairs lounge (probably 1/2 of that profit goes to the owners' "financial problems"). Would I go again, sure, just not for the entire night.
Pros: ambiance, celebrity party club
Cons: EXPENSIVE, Might be CLOSED
