Who could resist free entry, $3 vodkas between 8-10pm and $5 vodkas 10pm til close!
Union entry we had our IDs checked 😆 being over 40, bless you... I was "only 2mths older than security"
I haven't been here in nearly 20yrs, it used to be the place to be and it was a beautiful well maintained posh after work club filled with well dressed people where you would start your night.
It was disappointing to see the renovation. Instantly extremely filthy, sticky and uninviting floors which would easily ruin good open shoes.
Bar staff were extremely friendly, quick you were served straight away and more staff popped out if you were waiting.
The DJ was just straight up BAD. They were vaping all night long, jumping and the entire set up was shaking. They handed out the microphone to heavily intoxicated people which just sounded like 2 yr old was screaming karaoke, it was awful.. the mix up and mashes were at an awful beat, which sounded like a 2yrold switching radio stations instead of a live DJ. It sitting at approx 100bpm which is incredibly hard to dance too and sped up to still only a very slow 125bpm (average being 128-132bpm 32 count). I couldn't work out why it sounded so off and realised that the inexperience of the young DJ was trying to mash already mixed songs which ended splicing up to 10 different songs into a set which should only have 4. So instead of having the first running, second bought over the top blend into the next double pairing all shortened and mixed, it was 2 Mixes spliced which were all odd beats overlapping making it EXTREMELY had to dance to and at most you got less than 45sec of dance to the same beat. In the end 3 of the 4 of us just couldn't handle another moment of listening to it. I suggest the young kid to have a good listen to Darley Jefferson and tidy his set up.
If it wasn't for the nice bar staff and cheap drinks without a doubt we would have just walked out like the majority of patrons. Most stayed less than 15mins before walking straight back out.
The amount of young girls without shoes on was so bad, lucky there was no glass, but I have NEVER been in a club with the dance floor that was mopped atleast 6 times because of the amount of spilt drinks.
Purely on staff and specials, I'd go again and try, but if the same DJ was on without changing, we wouldn't stay long and would more than likely head across to the casino instead.
Luckily good company saved the night and we were still able to let our hair out and have a good night.
