I went to LIV nightclub on March 16, 2024, for the first time, and I must announce that there is a new nightclub sheriff in town! I arrived at approximately 10:15 pm and received free entry because I registered for the guestlist. The guest list line appeared long. However, the guest list staff did an excellent job getting patrons checked in expediently.
Security and staff were professional in checking people for weapons and ensuring that the night was a safe one. I didn't have expectations before entering the club. However, I did not anticipate that the nightclub would be so gorgeous! LIV is an upscale club that contains an eye-catching decor! They have a downstairs and upstairs where all clubgoers can frequent, which I loved! They didn't implement a nonsensical system where only VIPs can have access upstairs while regular admission attendees must stay on the floor. Clubgoers and a lion like myself should have free reign in the nightclub jungle! While upstairs, I saw several beautiful booth-style sections made out of leather. I believe they have one bar upstairs. Downstairs, they have three bars. Throughout the night, I saw several custodians mopping up spilled drinks, which impressed me because spilled drinks in a packed nightclub are hazardous and unavoidable.
LIV has a nice-sized dance floor in the club's center and some roped-off sections behind it. It was a pleasure to see a large dancefloor in a nightclub in this era of section-hungry, money-hungry nightclubs. Nightclubs are supposed to be festive, and nothing destroys a festive nightclub more than too many sections where everyone is sitting down and people-watching.
The sound system knocks, and the halo over the dance floor and lighting are visually stimulating. Nightclubs typically get hot due to the body heat of many people nearby and no ventilation. However, the heat wasn't an issue at LIV because they had one the most frigid air-conditioners I ever felt; they must have had the air conditioning on the "South Pole" setting because I had a few chilly moments despite wearing a turtle neck, blazer, and fedora. I would rather a nightclub have an air conditioner that is too cold than not cold enough, so keep that chilly air blowing. Come Summertime, the air conditioning will be perfect.
For my single fellas, the nightclub packed more flavors than Now and Later. Most women were upscale, attractive, and dressed in eye-catching feminine wear and high heels. However, there were some casually dressed cuties in there, too.
The dress code appeared to be anything goes. I was the flyest dressed man in the building. However, as the Undisputed Heavyweight World Champion of Drip, that is expected. I received a plethora of compliments from men, women, and staff.
Last but not least, the music selection was fire! The white DJ who opened for Metro Boomin could have easily been a headliner himself! I asked a pleasant bouncer the DJ's name, but he didn't know. Metro Boomin headlined and had one of the most moving entrances I have seen, and he handled his business on the ones and twos. When Metro Boomin returns, which he will because he's in the rotation, I highly recommend people show up, especially Hip Hop lovers!
LIV is the truth, and I will return when they have hip-hop performers and DJs and R&B-themed nights!
Pro tip: I returned to LIV a week after this review, and everything I said holds. However, it was about a fourth of the crowd there, and it could not come even remotely close to my first time attending. It is paramount that you go on a night where Metro Boomin or an entertainer who has a large fan base performs. Otherwise you may be disappointed if you anticipate the incredibly festive and bevy of beautiful women in all flavors I described in my review.
