**Two Stars: Meh. I've experienced better.
This is my exact thought, and will detail below:
I have only been to this new location once, and visited the PCH location a couple times previously with just an OK experience as well.
First of all, I am disappointed that it's only open on Friday nights. I usually prefer to go out on Saturday nights, but I can make an exception every once in a great while. I went last Friday with a couple friends, and had an OK time. The music was good, but we arrived around 12 and the dance floor was still pretty empty. I'd say maybe within the next 45 minutes it started to fill up. Maybe it just takes longer for the alcohol to set into big girls (I'm big too, don't hate), or everyone at this club has a high tolerance. The drinks were OK, not too strong, but they were cheap and got me buzzed enough to start dancing. I want to say, the bartenders were making the Adioses wrong? I didn't see the typical 5 bottles being poured into the one glass. But again, for $5 I can't complain.
Anyways, I enjoyed dancing a little while, and, as it typical, my heels came off since my feet hurt. It was a buzzkill having a security guard come over and tell me to put my shoes back on or get off the dance floor. I thought I came here to have a good time? Thanks! Aside from this, there were two dance floors, one in front playing more recent hits, and the one in back, playing some old school, I think. I'm not that old so I can't tell.
This club seems to be afflicted with the same few men who are always single and always ogling every woman in the club. I can accept that male eyes like to wander, but pleeeease! stop being so creepy!
Finally, just a personal peeve, but everytime I go, it's like the photographer makes it a point to take a picture of everyone *around* me, but not actually me. It's not like there is a shortage of photos, I see them on flickr. I'm not ugly, but do I really need to feel like I am? Whatevs, it seems I'm more appreciated at a regular club versus this "specialty" club.
After all this, I could see going back, maybe, but I will stick to Pasadena or Orange County for my clubbing needs.
