Does anyone here still go out to clubs on the weekends?

I like the ones in Europe because they stay open until 5am on weekends.
My favorite here in Tel Aviv is the G- SPOT owned by a local hero DJ/prince fan



Anyone have pics of Glam Slam South Beach ?

Tonic or Sevin here in Pontiac. Why? Great people watching.

I haven't gone in years.

my favorite ones were in London...

"Club Monte Carlo"

here in good ol saint jiggy.

my friend is the DJ and its all 70's/80's/90's dance...plus its a multi complex...theres the 3Mile side that play all new stuff and theres a huge pool hall as well. very diverse crowd.

Any place on State st in Santa Barbara, Ca during Old Spanish Days( one full week of no stop clubbin). Lots of celebs come to SB to party during this time of year. (which is awsome). But any other weekend of the year, I like to party at the RUMBA ROOM (salsa dancin baby )

The End was soooo cool... GAY at the Astoria was camp as hell but a great time... nights at infinity are nice, and I liked Madame Jojos (jazz/blues/funk/etc!). I enjoyed Cafe de Paris as well... hmm... sound was a bit shit, and expensive... Zoo bar was crowded and sleazy... CC club was EMPTY and boring... we tried to get into Heaven once but they said "members only" (WHAT THE FUCK!) but the end of the year Prince party was off the hook!

I'll pass your message onto Gareth, senik!

Natsume said:

agree about cafe de paris - crazy expensive. at least their attitude's improved a bit. not that long ago you couldn't get in unless you were a celeb or someone else with connections.

It really is called the G-Spot

not all that trendy anymore, but i've always had a soft spot for the Ministry of Sound. dancing on the bars...

TheFrog said:

That's what I've been hearing. When I was telling people I had gotten in for free (wearing blue jeans, nonetheless!) they were in disbelief. I think it still has that lingering stigma attached to it...

TheFrog said:

oh yes, MOS! I used to live out there in south London. It had two rooms which was soooo nice...

Natsume said:

cool place.

i didn't know heaven was members' only now? i haven't been for years, but i thought it was really a great club. the music and the dancing was extraordinary in there.

Squeezebox (RIP)

TheFrog said:

Members only? So much for my favorite pit stop.

First Avenue USED to be my favorite danceclub but there dance nights have been shit for a few years now


Beyond that, my fave club experiences have been in the UK....Heaven, "GAY" (cheese ball but fun), Pop something night in London and Poptastic in Manchester.

Actually there were few clubs in london/manchester that I didn't have a great time at.

I had a blast at Heaven too and Poptastic in Manchester was sooooo fun!! (PS- It was PopStarz in London that we went to.)

I liked Twilo when I was in New York several years ago.

And First Ave used to be fun back in the day. It's so sad, really.

TheFrog said:

Members only? Do such nightclubs exist in London? And if they do, why would they not offer to sell someone a membership in lieu of turning them away?

It sounds to me like a "soft rejection." If a club runs a selective door, the doorman may use excuses such as "Sorry, it's a private party tonight" in order to turn people away without offending them.

I think Heaven was member's only when I went there in 2001. I seem to remember signing up for membership while in line to get in. I also did that with Club Cherry in LA and Backstreet in Atlanta. Its usually not a big deal.

I used to be anti-club. I very much preferred the underground rave scene. But then an evil man named Bart Peterson got himself elected Mayor of Indianapolis, and he killed our local scene. (Ironically, he was a Democrat. The previous Mayor, a Republican, left us alone.)

So, we had to move the music into clubs. For the most part, I didn't have a "favorite club," as I was more interested in the music than the space. But with that said, I frequented the following clubs, which I'll list in alphabetical order:

• Eden (Now closed. The space was a neat old multi-level building.)
  
• Fusion (It was located near my apartment, and it has a nice outdoor patio area.)
  
• GOBO (Now closed. I liked it because it was within walking distance of my apartment. Also, the owner is a friend and client of mine. And it operated as a restaurant during the day--you could get a nice lunch for a very reasonable price.)
  
• Vapour Lounge (The location is horrible--it's located in a suburban-style neighborhood full of strip malls, grocery stores, etc. But, the space itself is beautiful. It has features such as plasma video displays and a bar that has an ice top to keep your drink cold. Also, they do valet parking, and I was amused that they always parked my relatively inexpensive Miata out front with the Ferraris, Porsches, Corvettes, etc. to attract customers)
  

I haven't been to a club since moving to Seattle, but I plan to get in touch with an acquaintance of mine whom I knew from my Indianapolis club days and now lives here. He supposedly knows the local places to go.

It might have something to do with liquor laws that treat private clubs differently than public clubs. As for why Heaven didn't offer to sell a membership, maybe they were at or near capacity that night?

TheFrog said:

Oh, the bouncer was just full of shit. It was ridiculous and we were so pissed. They said we weren't "regulars."

senik said:

he said "howdy senik"

lol

The best club I've ever been to was a little club called "Nest" in Cairns, Far North Queensland...it was a club that played strictly only R & B and hip hop - it was SO cool!!! good music, good company...couldn't ask for better

The Leadmill in Sheffield, UK is a great club. I must be honest though, these days I just prefer to go to a late night bar and just have a drink and a chat. I hate having to shout and be shouted at over the music in clubs and waiting about 10mins to get served for an expensive drink!

Best club ever was "God Save The Queen" across from the old union station in downtown los angeles.Originally it was a two story chinese food resturant built in the 40's.It was abandoned years ago so they got it for nothing.It was only open friday and saturday nights.There was a mix of people there alot like this place.lotta fun.....
