by Elisa C. on I love the Academy of Science, but this was the first I'd ever heard about there being a "Nightlife" there. At first I was like..do they turn it into some club event for people 21+? Well, its basically like visiting the academy during the day, except you have to be 21 and up to go at night (because they serve alcoholic drinks) between 6pm-10pm. I recommend getting there at 6pm so you can get tickets to the planetarium because they pretty much sell out of tickets by the first hour. Another plus about the nightlife is that its about half the price of the day pricing, so thats great. I always have a great time going to the CAS, and the nightlife didn't disappoint. One thing that was kind of annoying is that they don't allow drinks into their exhibits (i.e., the rainforest, or the aquarium) but I do understand why. So I'm not really complaining, just giving you rateclubers a heads up.
by Anne P. on The dim, jazzy feel of the bar/restaurant definitely added to the whole experience. When the live band began playing, the entire restaurant swayed along with the music. Usually, going to new places, i order the chef's recommendations or specials of the day. Definitely the best tuna steak i've had. The creme brulee for dessert was amazing too. Apple martini was a bit strong for my taste, and the price is outrageous, but overall, the experience is definitely impressive and remarkable.
by Israel Newingham on I would give this place a solid 4 stars, but I think it's silly that their average rating is currently 3 stars, so I'm giving them 5 because it's a pretty damn good club and I don't think it deserves being treated so mean on rateclubs. Nightclubs in general seem to have pretty poor ratings on rateclubs, regardless of their actual quality. I think this is because people who generally don't enjoy/know how to appreciate nightclub environments, on the rare occasion they DO go to nightclubs, get pissed off by it and then go write snarky reviews on rateclubs. Kinda like when vegetarians review steakhouses, and so on. Although, I don't blame the reviewer, as they don't realize that they are contributing to a psychological conundrum. You can't really yell at a baby puppy who doesn't know any better when he pisses on the carpet, can you? No, you simply explain calmly and show them where they CAN pee, and give them lots of "exercise, discipline, and affection" as the Dog Whisperer, would say. Or, in rateclubs terms, "useful, funny, and cool". (Go on. You see those buttons there, underneath this review. Click 'em. You know you want to. Tell Mama H. that she writes things that are interesting to the people on the interwebs.) Temple Nightclub is very fun, and there is lots to do here. Kinda like if Disneyland made nightclub. Every room has something different and fun about it, and different rooms are open/closed each night to provide different experiences. Be sure to check out the new stairway down to the Catacombs that is all done up in some sort of spaceship nouveau, like being inside of an alien-built structure unearthed from ancient times. It's pretty sweet. I haven't yet sampled these hot dogs that everyone is talking about, but I look forward to that in my next visit. I would give this place minus a star, though, for a very key item it is lacking, that being ventilation. They would be AWESOME and my favorite place ever if they could install big-ass fans to get the air circulating in here. Until that day, take this advice when you go there: 1. Don't bring a coat, or if you do, save yourself some misery and check it. I ended up trying to carry my light jacket around on my arm and then I dropped it in a puddle of mystery bathroom water. OMGYUCK. 2. WEAR EXTRA DEODORANT. If you make sure you do these two things, then the heat shouldn't bother you that much.
