The City

Worst club to be at on a Friday night! Awkward as hell, slow floor, no one really dancing.

As soon as you come down Richmond, promoters will hound you. Harassing you to come into The City, with promises of discounted tickets and a «special line». If he/​she doesn’t look too sketchy, buy a ticket, it will save you about five bucks.
The line could be anywhere from 10 – 30 minutes long. Fairly entertaining though. Plenty of glittery drunk women to ogle, guidos with their slick talk and clouds of cologne. The bouncers are essentially herders, I felt like a farm animal the entire time, and not the free range type, either.
Probably the most H-​core and gender biased search I have ever witnessed. I was not patted down and a flashlight was shown into my purse briefly. My boyfriend, on the other hand, was groped for a 10 – 15 minutes. I guess the lesson here is: if you’re going to sneak something into The City, get the girl to pocket it.
Once we got in, it was packed and sweaty. It was a Thursday night and the place was up to capacity with drunk college kids. The music was Top 40. The DJ would play less than half of each song — I didn’t mind, it kept the excitement going. Sometime after four shots o’clock, a drummer showed up on the floor. It made the whole event more fun. His drum set was glow in the dark blue.
The bathrooms are very dark. I think this is purposefully done so you can’t see how disgusting the tiles or floor are. However, it makes me extremely uncomfortable when I’m peeing on the same toilet as four drunk girls and I can’t even see the toilet seat properly.
Fairly enjoyable place to come with your drunk college friends.

This is the old «Frequency». It’s now called «The City».
Last night the girls & I made a debut to a friends birthday here. We had a booth and all the fix ins — which was just line bypass and no cover.
The wed theme for music was ‘Wayback Playback” — titles I belted out to include:
Aqua — Doctor Jones
The Real McCoy — Runaway — I believe I was doing some gangster dance moves to this
Fun Factory — Close To You
for 2 Soho Lychee & ginger ale it’s $ 14
for 4 shots and 2 beers (Hieni) it was $ 28
If random is your thing — you will like it here. Majority of the crowd is young (some guy actually told me — point blank — I was too young to be here). It’s a wolf howl for Gino’s & Gina’s (I honestly didn’t know they existed any more… I assume Jersey Shore had something to do with the rebirth)
The bathroom is downstairs (from the main dance floor) and to the immediate left of the main entrance. It’s in the basement and the steps are tiny, which makes it an obstacle course if you happen to be sporting 5 ½inch Missoni’s.
In terms of a club option, it’s def NOT the greatest. Unless your 18, Italian and list hair wax&tanning as part of your daily morning routine.
The crowd is VERY random. There’s this one old guy who apparently comes EVERY Wed, sits in a corner and happens to have a bundle of snapshots in his pocket (of him at the club with gazillion Bit^&$s & Ho’s. He is of Indian descent, Late 50’s, wears sunglasses and a red wooden cane with a gold carved horse on the handle. Basically he looks like this — — -

He was sitting in a corner Boothe with his pimp cane to the front so, OBVIOUSLY I went to ask him where I could possibly purchase such a swaggerific item.
me” hey, why aren’t you dancing” ?
Sketch 50yr old pimp «i don’t go to women, women come to me»
Me” yea they are expensive now days“
Sketch 50yr old pimp «I make 2 rounds in this club and they are all grabbing me and touching me and i tell them, please don’t touch me. look at them (pointing to no body in particular)
**after a few minutes of me convincing him that his jewelry is rusted and he can get a good jewelry cleaner at Walmart for a good price, he nodded a few times and I departed his magical presence.
If you are here on Wed, go chat with him… tell him «expensive jewelry girl says hello». You will not be bored.

Went to Frequency last night for Wayback Wednesday. I think if it wouldve been any other night, I wouldn’t be so bitter, but this place SUCKED for wayback wednesday. The event was way better when it was at Menage.
Cover: decent; $ 15 cover on guestlist.
Coatcheck: 2 coatchecks and they were both PACKED! Mandatory $ 3 for coat check and you can’t hang 2 coats together.
Drinks: about $ 6 or $ 7.
Music: barely any 90s dance! I don’t know if I was in the wrong room or wrong floor or who knows what, but I heard very few old dance songs. And this is the only reason we went.
If you like 19 year old ginos with spikey mullets who are on-​their-​ass drunk on a Wednesday night, this is the place for you.
Met a few cool people but most likely would not go back. Definitely not for Wayback Wednesday.

I came here lastnight with my 4 other friends.
Saturday Nights its 3 rooms + 3 sounds!
Main room — top 40 (BARLEY FULL OF PPL)
Other room? — Hiphop (COUPLE PP DANCINGL)
2^nd floor– Reggae/​Hiphop (GETS VERY FULL!!)
–Free before 11pm on Guestlist
— 10 $ between 11pm-​12am on Guestlist
We got their around 12am and they had 2 lines, one was HUGE and the other was alright.
The Huge line was for people NOT on guestlist and was moving slow.
The other line was moving fast and was for guestlist!
–Drinks are around 7 $ each, some bartenders are friendly depending on the bar you go to. There are A LOT of bars here!
–Very big club
–Lots of fun
–Lots of bouncers
–Great croud of people
— Alot of fights do happen at this club but they are on it like that *snaps*
There was a fight lastnight in the Reggae room and the boucners quickly stopped the situation!

Other than watching my hubby get groped (literally) by security at the door (she actually grabbed his… wang?.. and shook it!!), we had an ok-​ish time. The music was ok with a nice mix of 90’s dance and more modern stuff. I’m not a fan of hippity-​hop, but they didn’t play very much.
Our bartender had a chip on her shoulder and after we spent over $ 100 on shots (!!), she was slamming our drinks down, ignoring us and just overall being a bitch…
On to the end of the night…
We’re outside and watching the security literally carry out people that are too drunk to walk, talk, move, stay conscious… Smart Serve regulations? anyone… anyways…
These 5 overly drunk, ghetto nasty biatches come barreling out, following a friend who needed to be carried to their limo parked out front.
My hubby is standing with me, and is more than slightly intoxicated, sees these 5 girls who are mouthing off loudly to the staff and of course, my loud, opinionated, drunken hubby needed to chime in nice and loud and tell them they’re all ugly. (LOL it was true, but I don’t condone his behaviour). So one of these girls gets up in his.grill.and starts yelling at him (I“m fucking hot and you only wish… bla bla bla) and he, of course, does not back down. Meanwhile, one of her ghetto-​ugly friends is grabbing his arm and trying to pull him away, I would guess, and I calmly took her hand… maybe dug my nails into it a little… and removed her hand from his arm. Next thing I know, I feel someone slap my face! I turn and ask loudly, «who the hell just hit me?!» another of the ghetto-​uglies says“ME!” I turn to her and ask why she’s so scared to speak her mind instead of hitting someone when they aren’t even looking and next thing I know, I’m on the ground and all 5 of these girls are attacking me! Now, I can hold my own in a one-​on-​one, but 5?! so, here I sit, slightly bruised… thinking I left this garbage behind when I was a dumbass teen, but I’m still proud of myself for tearing out some hair and leaving some nice deep gauges in one or two faces. I have to say, police response was fast and we got out of the «riot zone» as fast as possible.
Note to self: when you’re 30-​something, stick to 30-​something clubs to avoid 20-​something drunken drama.
Note to self pt.2: keep drunken hubby quiet when leaving clubs.

Not a complete waste of time… The music was really good and the mix was fluid when I went earlier this year… Also seems like the club might be employing girls to dance with random guys… Hmmmm…
Worth the cover (whatever it was … Less than $ 10). Hard drinks and wine are a bit pricey, but some nights they have pitchers of beer for $ 5 or $ 6.

I’ve been to a lot of weak clubs in my day but this is the worse one in history.
Don’t bother.
