by Roger Stable on OK let me preface my review by saying I was there on a MONDAY night. It was cinco de mayo... but this is NY (not California). I doubt very many people care. We got there around 10 and they weren't open yet. They open at 11. No big deal... we went around the corner to a bar to continue our binge drinking. We came back after 11... and there was a LINE. For a place that wasn't even busy. A line for a place that just opened. It wasn't a long line... but still a line. We waited, and waited... and then finally they started letting people in. $20 cover charge. $20?!? Are you kidding? You are going to charge me $20 for a place with no people in it...? We complained... they lowered our cover to $10. We got in - there were about 5 other people in the place. What the hell was that line for? The DJ SUCKED and annoyed the crap out of me. At first it sounded like he was just testing his stuff because he kept messing up and music was cutting in and out. Then when the music was playing... he kept turning it down (messing up the beat) and screaming things like "$150 bottles of Grey Goose!" Every single one of our group of 7 was rolling her eyes. It also made me realize how ghetto the music is I listen to. This place was playing things like TLC's Scrubs and Destiny's Child's Independent Women. Really. Clubs still play that? Am I in middle school again... and is this a roller rink? Oh well... when you are with good company you can still have fun no matter what. Yes, we danced to Scrubs. Yes, we danced to Independent Women. Yes, we sang along with the songs. And yes... it did make me miss the bay!
by Austin V. on I came by hear because of proximity and a local recommendation. No cover when we got there early at 10 on a Thursday. Spent most of the evening chatting up the bartenders and bar patrons and had a good time. Edo was spinning progressive house which wasn't bad, but not my first choice style for lounge music. I'd go back again.
by Coco D. on I am not going to lie. I like it here. Granted, I've only ever been here for pseudo hipster goth night Pop Roxx. Sure, it's full of unattractive goths (which are just the theater nerds from high school who can't get the stench of loser off of them). But since you know you're cooler than everyone there, it's fun to dance like crazy. Music is of the dark pop variety, with rotating DJs in the back lounge from month to month. This time it was Bootie, with mashups. I dig it. It's impossible to make a fool of yourself here because hey, at least you're not dancing on top of a box with your flabby ass hanging out over your neon striped leggings. I am such a bitch. EDIT 1/04/08 Heh. I was gonna add a star, but this place totally doesn't need another one. I just wann give it more props cuz I went to Pop Roxx again and met the charming host, Sparklepants, who introduced me to my boyfriend, so I gots a soft spot for it now. Dance away, neon goth girls!
