Having to wait inline in Vancouver when the club is empty inside is a joke. Playing the same top 40 music over and over again gets quite annoying. Not being able to exit once you go in is the most retarded shit ever. The whole atmosphere is so bad. Girls who think they are top 10 models when they are 18 year olds with heavy ass make up. Guys who think they are the leader of the triads. And then the guys who really are gangsters and start shit if you dance with one of their "girls" or something.
Overall, just an unfriendly atmosphere, something that a club should be totally opposite of. | +1
Went clubbing last night @ Venom in Seattle and had a great time. $2 drinks until 11 and the bouncers were nice as shit.
I emailed the promoter Friday morning asking for VIP and he emailed me back a few hours later saying that we were on the list and that it only applied up to 11pm.
We got there and told the bouncer we were on the VIP list. He looked up my name, checked our IDs and we were in. We waited in line for 2 minutes and got in with free cover. That is what a vip gueslist should be.
None of this bullshit we have in vancouver. You get put on the guestlist and you still end up waiting like 20-30 minutes to go in. It's fucking bullshit up here. | |

later around 1:30 i got a huge craving for sushi so i left with a buddy to get some down the street. I came back and the bouncer wouldnt let me back in even though i had a stamp... he never gave me a reason as to why. he just told me something about no more stamps and pointed up the street... meanwhile he is letting all the drunk girls stumble back in holding onto each other so they dont fall over.
i spent a lot of money last night (for me) and the experience i had wasnt nearly worth it.
it was more fun at cafe crepe.

That's wierd that your guestlist had individual names.. most of the time is like " Bob + 20" or something like that. That's how it was for us last time we went. Also its not usually a good idea to leave the club on a saturday espeically at 1:30 and try to get back in after. They usually wouldnt allow you unless it isn't busy. But its obvious u guys shouldve been allowed back in cause they were letting girls in.

Off topic here, but anyone know any good loungey places in Vancouver where you can actually hear the other person talk and not have to guess every other word? | Henessey is pretty solid.

i don't know i rather go to boss or fabric rather than
stone temple, tonic, buffalo club or any of most of those trash clubs on granville. It's full of scrubs and most of the time overweight white girls.
the only ok club that i've been to on granville is the caprice.
bouncers are dicks most of the time here, ruining the atmosphere for all.
And honestly i rather listen to top 40 than some shitty ass live band. That shit is garbage i don't know how anyone listens to it. but I guess everyone has their own preference.

Best club is roosters. Once you get around the notion you are listening to country music, you'll have a great time. Only went their twice and my friend was the only brown dude lol. Girls are young but you can tell people go there to have a good time. Plus you get to see titties too.
Only bad thing is it's too far away from van

This topic has been beaten to death. Complaining about van clubs is pointless...just gotta accept it and work ur way around it.
Have ur grease money and extra cash to buy girls drinks.
Funny we're 2 pages in and no one knows wat happen at boss.
