This is why I go to Celebs if I feel like clubbing. No douchebags, cheap cover (well for me anyway), decent priced drinks and good music. Plus the go-go dancers are hot. Oh and a great atmosphere. Too bad most of Vancouver is homophobic.

anyone else notice the SAME FUCKING MUSIC is playing all the time at most clubs for the past DECADE?
I haven't gone regularly since 2001/02, I recently went and the same music from 8 years ago is still playing. Same stupid hip-pop and top40 crap you can't even shake a fist at.

Imagine how club owners would react if they were completely boycotted for 2 weekends. They'd be forced to cut the crap. When 2010 comes around, its going to be worse than ever - there will definitely be a bunch of confused tourists wondering how to get in. | Hasn't it been like that since before?! I remember clubs like that when I still went and I haven't gone to one since '04. I believe they make you queue up so they could build up a hype to that particular club. So then it makes people who drive by think that that place is the shit 'cause a lot of people are trying to get in.

i loved clubbing in NYC and paris. i dont even bother with vancouver. it's depressing, like most of you said, line ups and gangster wannabe's makes it a miserable experience i can spend elsewhere.

People can say what they want about Mirage but really I like it better then clubs downtown.
Sometimes it does take a while to get in but cover is only like $10.. drinks are usually under $3 for a highball.. the music is the same shit you would hear downtown anyways... and for the most part the crowd is more attractive...
For me its also convenient that its only a 5 minute cab ride from home.. I also know some of the staff there so I dont pay cover and I usually end up getting a couple free drinks..
The other funny thing is if I tell the bartender I know that I drove he only serves me a couple of drinks and then just starts giving me straight tonic (I usually drink Gin and Tonic)

You know it's funny because I've been hitting the clubs quite often these days,
and I never thought of this.
All I knew is that every time I went, it got less and less appealing to me.
Very insightful.

I grew out of the whole clubbin phase a while ago.
I think as you grow older, the less appealing clubbing appears to you. Plus having to deal with the younger gangster wannabes there just makes it worse.

Just don't go. There are many things that are more interesting and fun than "clubbing"

One thing you can do is go early, get a stamp and leave. Go grab drinks elsewhere or a bite to eat, then come back when it's more "bumping". It's better than standing in line later on.
We've been doing that and lately and it's not too bad. By the time we get back to the club, there's usually a pretty long line and you'll be glad you can just walk right in. But I agree that the Van clubs are just ridiculous when it comes to everything mentioned in this thread (line-up, cover, and drink prices).

Here's an example of a real club, in a so called "developing" country, and I don't think we have anything here that matches it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=filOCRsFmXI | |

ya club scene here sucks im not even old and it still has lost all its appeal to me. Drinks are overpriced, line ups are way to long even though the club isnt at capacity, and the music sucks. The only time ill go to a club is on a close friends birthday. there are lots of other things that I can think of that is way more fun than clubbing.
