Went here for the first time last night and had a great time. VERY cute girls were there and were talkative and outgoing. The doormen and patrons are both very selective, but it's a great scene. Typical patron: young, SMU students and early to mid 20's; high class; drive a 7series BMW or Maseratti; adorned in Gucci, DG, Louis Vuitton, etc and trendy; VERY attractive; a large amount of disposable income; hitting very upscale clubs 5 nights a week wouldn't faze most of the people there. We had a great time and chatted with quite a few girls who ranged from sober and outgoing to one who was smoking hot, wasted (at midnight no less) and grinding on guys against the bar and touching herself (let your imagination run). The reviews here seem a bit off in that the bartenders were nothing to write home about, but they were very nice and pleasant. The waitstaff (all girls) was very attractive, chatty, and VERY attentive - watching the level of drinks quite well and offering refills without being intrusive. We will definitely head back. The only downside was the high bill: 2 mojitos, 1 bud light, 6 royalfucks and 1 glass johnnie walker blue label came to over $160. Also, there was a very creepy transvestite who arrived alone around 1:00am and remined until close to 2:00am when the doormen finally realized the crowd's repulsion at him/her/it and kicked him/her/it out. The staff jokingly offered that him/her/it comes about twice a week and sometimes does bring unsuspecting guys back with the him-being-a-her. Disgusting. But it was obvious and out of the ordinary, so don't let this weird experience keep you from going. This basement bar is by far one of the classier, fun establishments.
