by Ben C. on I've lived without cable TV for over a year up until last week. I caved to the Comcast monopoly with its highly unaccommodating channel packages in order to have full freedom to access World Cup 2010 South Africa with the majority of the group stage matches being played in the wee hours of the morning. GO KOREA! I assiduously watch maybe a handful of the channels I have on the line-up via the box. ESPN. Fox Soccer. HBO for Entourage which I've already caught up on season 6 marathon-style. Admittedly, as I was browsing the on-demand menu, I came across an old favorite of mine in the MTV HD series section: The Hills. Now before you laugh, I'm not so much into the storyline as I am the LA vistas they show along with quick snaps of the hot spots to visit in Hollywood. Without any doubt, I fully admit I am following the marching orders of MTV's marketing/sales intentions to promote businesses via the show. Woe is me. In the case of Voyeur, it's a posthumous affair. What I mean by this is I went to Voyeur first and then happened to see that in the latest season the chicks in the show were filmed spewing piles upon piles of dramatic drivel at Voyeur. In the afternoon the day of the first Voyeur visit (a Saturday), my buddies and I were having a pretty crappy and overpriced lunch at the Drai's pool (W Hollywood). My Hollywood friends had recommended that instead of going to Trousdale, consider the V for a more energetic pace. They had labeled Trousdale as more hipster, be seen while checking out the crowd to see who's there as opposed to Voyeur's sexually charged alacrity (read the other rateclubss to see what I mean here). Trousdale's sip to Voyeur's shots. I was on the fence until we ran into one of the hostesses flittering about the DB filled pool area at Drai's. Table for 6. I guess it was meant to be. Going back to The Hills episode, they don't show much of the place. The door is tight. I actually ran into the same lady who provides VIP service at select hot spots in Hollywood who remembered me from two years back when I celebrated my b-day at Les Deux. Crazy. You walk in and the place smells/oozes Western bar than decadent night spot. You walk in around the corner into the main room and on the right you'll see where the bigger table areas are for bigger parties. These were booked unfortunately as I made the reservation the day of. I recommend you spend the dough to get a space setup in this area as opposed to the back left next to the DJ. It's a lot darker there and while it's still cool, you don't get to see much even from the raised booths. I have a feeling if the DJ dance floor area required 3 bottles for a group of 6, you'll probably need to do about 4 on a Saturday night for the roomier, more conversation friendly tables out front. Based on the above info, I'm sure you can guess where you would likely be able to rub elbows with Speidi. Maybe the back room is the better deal, eh?
by Lisa B. on This place has to get five stars because its an Atlanta landmark. If you come to Atlanta to visit this is one stop you have to be sure to make. I have been here once, not sure that I will ever make it back again, but I had the most fantastic time. This place is run down and quite a freak show, but that is what makes it entertaining. Even more entertaining is the women's rest room. It is literally just one toilet with no privacy and a sink. Everyone can see what you are doing. This is not for those who are shy or who have not had ample alcohol added to their blood stream. There is a line and yes, if I am in line in front of you you may give me a dollar and I will let you pee before me. This almost incited a riot when I was there but I don't care. If you gotta pee bad enough you'll give me a buck to cut in line...or you can be like the total skank who just decided to pee in the corner on the carpet. And if you need a light for your smoke, that's also going to cost you a dollar. But if you are drinking and need that nicotine it's gonna be worth the price. Ahhhh...fun times at the Clermont...
by Jeannetta Demarzio on Well, I'm gay, so I doubt I'd be trying to nance my way into this place anytime soon. (Two girls per guy, just to get into a bar? None of my girl friends would even partake, even for bar charity.) So when my friend asked me to be his +1 for some Macy's underwear thing, I thought it a decent opportunity to see the inside of Vessel, at least once. So for my fellow 'mos that may never see the hallowed halls at Vessel, allow me to offer my opinion: Meh. This place could be a really cool speakeasy kinda place. Alley entrance? Check. Underground? Check. Brick walls? Check. But yeah, just meh. So much of the furnishings looked either tacky or like they were done on the cheap. (Fabric-covered lighting? Boo.) The bar's all the way on one side and it makes the place very cluttered, very quick. The bottle service area is huge, so I guess this place is for people who wanna drop a grip when they go "out on the town." (And for people who use that phrase.) Can't really say much about the staff, since this wasn't a "just Vessel" party. Cute (read: male) bartenders tho. Isn't that misplaced in a place that requires chicks, tho? Oh well, +1 star for that.
