(The following is a quick review of tonight – Refer to http://jamestran.net/?p=1277 for the last complete details and review, it hasn’t changed much)
Arrived around 12:15AM. There was no line. Apparently the line was uber-long earlier in the night. Paid $20 to get in. I was expecting to be charged $25 so it was a surprise.
Crowd is pretty much entirely Asian, mid 20’s or later. A mix of fobs and locals.
Main middle floor was pretty packed, and I didn’t even try to go inside the middle. Everyone was dancing like sardines.

Met lots of friends, including a website reader. Thanks for the drink Kev 🙂
Top level was also pretty busy, but people were more mulling around rather than dancing. Below ground level was pretty dead.
Closed at 2AM. Didn’t see any fights, so it possibly was a safe night tonight. Though the dancefloor area was littered in broken glass.
Aftermath - broken glass at the club
Recommendation
Not good for dancing freely, but its always packed.
The Market @ Haymarket Hotel – 6.0/10.
As of April 2011, this event has ceased.
Saturday events are now organised by same promoters who run Zaia for their Saturday events. It would be interesting to see if the older crowd have remained loyal to the venue or if they have been replaced with TB’s.
