by Tracy Rockovich on Love the atmosphere on a busy night. The staff are friendly and cute. I love coming here for happy hour to eat the specials, mine in particular the octopus with rice meal (don't know the name) with a martini! The price for that total for happy hour is cheap! Very filing and delicious. The bathroom isn't too great though if you need to go! Sorry. Great place to dine with friends!
by Eric N. on After all this time, I finally went out of my way to check out Night Life at the Academy. I parked on MLK at 5:00 and the street was already pretty full but still had 2-3 prime open spaces. A bunch of coworkers and I grabbed dinner a few blocks south of the park. When we returned at 5:50, there was already a line snaking down the steps and down the street! Crap. Things you must do: buy/print tickets before coming. Unless you like waiting in lines and looking like a fool (with your pants on the ground). "Fragile Earth" Not So Stellar Upon entering, we hung an immediate left and darted around the planetarium to get in line for tickets. The ticket givers were generous; they asked us how many tickets we needed. we blurted "...10!" and they gave us 10. We got 10 tickets to the following show too, but ended up giving them away later. A lot of the other rateclubers have raved about the planetarium and how the shows are always sold out. Despite that, Fragile Earth was just decent. It briskly detailed our place in the solar system and galaxy, what we use to monitor planet, and how we are looking for other suitable planets. It exuded too much of a preachy vibe, inferring that we should take better care of our planet. A good documentary should make you want to do that without preaching (see BBC Planet Earth or BBC Life). The show is par, but pales greatly in comparison to Hubble 3D (not counting the 3D). Though, if you haven't been to a planetarium in the past 5 years, I'd still recommend visiting this one. Surreal Scene The coolest and most obvious thing about Nightlife is the scene. You can eat, drink, and be merry with your chums amidst an awesome backdrop of colorful exhibits and living displays. It's the other end of the typical dark, dank, and loud bars and clubs. Attendees are quite well-dressed, and that brings a bit of class to the event. Playing along helps fuel that aura; rather than going to a club dressing skanky, you are going to a museum dressing swanky (har har). Debbie Downers An unfortunate byproduct of such a museum is that there is little opportunity for mingling (sorry singles). With an event like this, people generally don't go alone expecting to meet others on the fly. Though, that doesn't mean you can't outsmooth the odds and meet the person(s) of your dreams there. Even my group was infiltrated by a completely random guy asking random questions. "Would you think I went to MIT if I was wearing an MIT sweatshirt?" Yes, because we fickly judge people by the text on their sweats. Another potential downer: we discovered that Nightlife had ended their $3 6:00-7:00 happy hour about a month ago! Shiieeet, son. We were relegated to the normal $7 beers and $8 mixed drinks. Regardless, nothing really beats inebriation in an aquarium with your buddies. Prepartying recommended. Afterparty? One of the biggest drawbacks: the event only goes 6:00 - 10:00. Four hours!? If you're looking to see all of the exhibits at your own pace, you may want to visit during the day (unless you NEED the alcohol). With all of the walking, talking, and photographing, we barely had any time to see the exhibits. There are probably a thousand info placards that we didn't even bother to skim. But that's just my selfishness talking. The animals do need to sleep, and we'd rather have them alive and moving than dead and rotting (unless they're dead and stuffed). Plan for multiple visits if you eventually want to see all of what Nightlife has to offer! My review sounds negative, but I had a blast. Grab a bunch of friends and spend an evening in the city. And feel free to infiltrate my group.
by Roderick Olmeda on OMG. I miss this place soooo much, me and my best friend (you probably know him) Jason Snead would ALWAYS be at Blake's. I won Britney Spears Circus tickets @ Blakes in the Hot Body Contest...I GOT 1ST PLACE! lol...*sigh* I'm sure you were there. I have mad love for this place...such good memories. The music, the drinks, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Especially the drag shows!
