Midnight crowd. DJ corner in the far right.

Yolo (You Only Live Once) Saturdays @ Civic Hotel (Rooftop)
Assessment Time: Midnight – 3:15AM
Opening Hours: Unknown (probably 10:30PM) – 4:00AM
Lockout: Around 2:30AM
Address: 388 Pitt St (oppposite World Square)
Venue Website: http://www.civichotel.com.au
Event Website: http://www.facebook.com/YoloSaturdays
Promoter Website: Unknown, but it could possibly be self promoted???
Occurrence: Today is Grand Opening night and it is to run every Saturday.
Outside Line: Didn’t appear to be a line. We got in right away without much trouble.
Dress Code / Door Policy: Nobody was wearing hats, except for the MC, so not sure on the hat policy. Guys are generally a mix of casual and collared shirts – you could get away with most clothing here. We were also a large contingent of mixed guys and girls and got in without issue tonight. Girls were dressed with their casual dresses and only a handful wore body tight dresses.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: One of my friends knew someone, who knew someone else, who got us free entry. So lovely of them. Standard cover charge ? we had no idea, but based on past history of Asian clubbing events at Civic Hotel and the cross promoting before the event launched, I would make the educated guess that it was $25 standard entry, with $5 discount if you were on a guestlist, and entered the premises before perhaps 11:30 or midnight.
Guestlist: yolo@civichotel.com.au , or check the facebook website for mobile phone contact details

Inside: Civic Hotel was briefly closed for a few weeks to undergo “renovations”. As far as I could tell, renovations did not amount to much change on this upper level. (I didn’t get to see what else was happening). Upon walking up the flight up stairs, enter the main room (about half the floor sizer) with lounges along the wall to your right. One or two lounges have been removed to open up the extreme right corner up. In front of you is the path to the otherside, where the dancefloor is. On the left is the centre bar of this room. Upon approaching the dancefloor (about half the size of this room – its not very big – it could hold 60-80 people.) there is the DJ is on the far corner, slightly elevated on the podium. More lounges along the far wall here.
The second half of this venue is all about relaxation. One half is a special lounge area for private parties, walled up by a half wall. It has its own bar. The other half of this floor is the ‘outdoor’ smoking area where, well, everybody comes to actually have their conversation. It has a slightly larger bar along the wall here compared to the private lounge. Seats are all concrete. It serves its purpose.
So overall, actual dancefloor is around 20-30% of the place.
Cloak Room: Situated on the ground floor, it is $4 to check in an item and $1 for a recheck. Reasonable.
Bar Prices / Line: Unknown pricing, but strangely tonight you could easily get service if you wanted to. In the past, other events held in this place results in massive long lines at the bar – they must have done something good to fix this problem, or the crowd here isn’t much of a drinking one. I think the latter. Regardless, it was refreshing to know that during the majority of the night, drinks could be quickly bought.
Bathroom Facilities: 50/50 dirty clean. Unisex basins but separate male/female cubicles. No urinals for men.
Eviction Count: Spotted two separate intoxicated men kicked out being followed by his friends. One of them was my friend who had gotten us the free entry – evicted on the basis of being too drunk, rather than starting a fight or groping / hitting on girls inappropriately. A shame.
DJs: Edo, D-Kutz, C-Bu Flipz, Roc Boi, Mike Hyper, Cass etc
Music Style: Lots of RnB, Top 40 / some house mashup music. Songs were definitely repeated tonight, you would think after all the songs that have been released the past few years they would have a decent amount of music to play, but no – it’s all contemporary RnB with only a handful of classic songs to play, at risk of even the classics to be repeated (“If you got a $100 dollar bill put your hands up“, anyone? and let’s not forget the current trend of abusing Avicii’s “Levels” – I counted this song played three times tonight). This will always be a problem at the multiple DJ events but most of the crowd don’t know or don’t care. Regardless, songs are dancable to. Later at night after 2:30AM, only then did some real old school 90′s Nelly etc were being played.
Crowd: Inside it’s mostly Asian Australians. In the courtyard though it’s more like 50% Asians and the rest outside are Caucasian / Euro – mostly the people who are not really into the dancing part of the nightclub. Quite a few people here were aged in their early 20′s or their teens. They either looked it or told us.
Ratio: Around 2 guys to 1 girl during the peak of the night (midnight-12:45AM) and it got progressively more brofested as the night wore on. To make matters worse, even security were hitting on the girls! I’m sure the girls loved the attention.
Entertainment: No extra entertainment. The front podium is for big security guy to stand around as well as staff members to dance on. Members of the public were booted off. No fun.
Atmosphere: It was a surprising turn out for a grand opening at a venue and it did seem that people were all nicely huddled up near the corner DJ for action. It was more 30-40% were on the floor while the rest of the population were spread out over the rest of the venue. The venue has ample lighting so you can see people across the room, and I guess it gives a more open friendly vibe. However again, there weren’t many drinkers! People were sort of friendly tonight, it was 50/50 if they were to be cold or not. People preferred to keep to themselves here tonight. Though on the dancefloor itself there were quite a few guys who were standing around or didn’t know how to dance. By 2AM I was at the front, and when I turned around, I was surrounded by all guys. No girls. At least there was a crowd.

Timeline
“Everybody put your cups/glasses in the air”
Such is the cry of many songs – So I counted how many people actually participated in raising their cups in the air when the song called for it. The first time the DJ played “everybody put your cups in the air”, only four people raised their cups in the air. Quite an appalling amount. Later on in the night, this particular song got repeated (what’s new), and such was the opportunity to count again. The second time around, ZERO people put their glasses/cups in the air! Fascinating. I guess people were tired enough of putting their hands in the air and waving them like they don’t care, or perhaps since all they do is win, they were also tired of putting their hands up and having them stay there.

Train!
I got a little bored so me and Marty started a train!! We went around and eventually…. nobody joined us. Total. Freaking. Fail. It’s a tough crowd tonight. As Marty said, they were probably not well “trained” for the task.

Met a drunk guy
He said he was drunk, I didn’t believe him as he danced quite co-ordinated… until he tripped over himself and fell onto me.  The end.

Arrivederci
I left 3:15AM . Place was not holding the crowd anymore.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
I would probably not visit again.. The repeating music, not so into it crowd as I thought it would be… or it may have just been me getting sick of coming to this venue many times under the many events that have been held here. Though, this was a grand opening night for the new event, it will probably pick up a more interactive crowd as word filters out. If you haven’t been, I would check it out – short lines at the bar, young crowd, good tunes. If you have been though, you are not missing out.

Costume Party

Friday Nights (Private Party) @ O Nightclub
Assessment Time: 11:55PM – 2:30AM
Opening Hours: 20:00 – 03:00 AM
Lockout: Unknown
Address: 39 Darlinghurst Road, Potts Point / Kings Cross
Venue Website: http://www.onightclub.com.au
Event Website: http://www.fb.com/onightclub
Promoter Website: Appears to be self promoted ?
Occurrence: Every Friday, Saturday
Outside Line: No line outside upon approach.
Dress Code / Door Policy: It was pretty much whatever goes. Tonight is a costume party, and we were caught unawares without wearing a costume at all.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: It was $20 with a free drink included, but we did a bit of negotiation and got it down to $10 without the drink. Not much of a difference as I end up buying a drink later worth about $10 anyway.
Guestlist: None
Inside: Did you ever visit Moulin Rouge / The Rouge before it closed down and became O nightclub? The layout is exactly the same but the refurbishment job done has made it look very new and more club like. No more is the moulin rouge / dirty feel of the club. It’s more open and “clean”.

Through the doors on ground level, walk down the lightened stairwell down underground to enter the lower lounge area. On the direct left corner is the 3 sided corner lounge to hold a large contingent of perhaps 20 people. Bathrooms on the right and a bar on the remaining corner of this lower level. Walk up the half-flight of stairs to get to the “middle” floor which is the dancefloor. It’s not a large dancefloor at all; perhaps 5 by 5 metres. DJ booth in the left far corner. Behind the DJ on both corners are jail-like bars to which there are lounges behind, looking down upon the dancefloor. On the right is another set of stairs to take you up to the upper bar and the lounges behind around and behind the DJ. The upper lounge area could probably hold 100 or so people.
Cloak Room: None tonight.
Bar Prices / Line: I can’t remember pricing, but it was less than $10 for a normal drink. The lines – well there wasn’t much of a line all night at either the upper or lower bar – service was guaranteed right away.
Bathroom Facilities: Pretty decent. Clean. I accidentally walked into the girls bathroom and I’m happy to report that it was also clean.
Eviction Count: None spotted.
DJs: Resident DJ
Music Style: Mostly Top 40, RnB, Commercial House tunes.
Crowd: Tonight appeared to be a private party for an ESL school. So pretty much everyone was a backpacker / International student. 
Ratio: 2 Guys to 1 Girl most of the night.
Entertainment: None extra.
Atmosphere: Upon entering at midnight, the dancefloor was indeed full, but the rest of the venue was not so busy. The upper lounge areas were closed off entirely to the public and only workers were seen chilling out on the upper lounges. Well, they told me they worked here anyway. As mentioned here everyone here is in costume and pretty friendly.

A bathroom exchange
In the urinal doing my thing and next to me, this guy asks if I have gum. That’s a first. I dig around pretending to look for gum, and turns out I actually do have a stick of gum, and I kindly gave him a piece. In return he offered me his drink! It was just sitting there on the sink. Looked full, the place wasn’t dirty so I had a sip.
“No, have some more!” he says. Another sip
“No, more!”. So I gulped about half of it. He seemed very thankful after that, though I mean he spent probably $7 on that drink, it would have been cheaper to run across the road to the convenience store and buy it for $1 or $2

The costume party nobody told me about
This appeared to be a private party but was open to everyone off the street. The school was an English Learning school from downtown and a lot of the students are here. Everyone is pretty friendly and dressed up in various costumes. Pretty cut up that I didn’t know tonight was a costume party. Sheiks, bumblebees, angels, devils, some green thing (I think it was a frog)… pretty much me and my little entourage had nothing to show.

Met heaps of the people at the party, including someone from Ecuador who obviously hadn’t been doing her English homework, compared to her Japanese colleague who had heaps better English. Asians are definitely more studious.

Arrivederci
Gone at 2:30 after everyone suddenly left. We partied on at Tunnel Nightclub.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
Throughout the whole night the venue never got to full capacity – though since everyone knew each other it was still a good vibe here, especially with the costumes. Though I must say that if it were not for this party, I am not sure what would have happened. This place could have been dead. It certainly has the setup all set for a good lounge/club, but it is truly lacking the people. With people down the end of the road giving away free entry to rival club The Tunnel (it was packed when we got there) to pull crowds, it’s going to be hard.

I cannot recommend to go to this place until crowds pick up on the Friday.

Dancefloor area at 12:30AM

Saturday Nights @ Zeta Bar Sydney
Assessment Time: 10:45PM – 2:55AM
Opening Hours: Bar opens at 5PM, but DJ music is up from 7:30PM
Lockout: Unknown, but probably 30 minutes before closing.
Address: Level 4, 488 George Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. The entrance is via George St – take the elevator up to Level 4.
Venue Website: http://www.zetabar.com.au and http://www.fb.com/zetabarsydney
Event Website: See venue website above.
Promoter Website: Self Promoted
Occurrence: Every Saturday Night
Outside Line: The line on ground level was minimal, and we were let in right away.
Dress Code / Door Policy: Pretty much as the website states, it is a sophisticated dress code. Smart casual is the minimum to be here. Pointy shoes, collared shirts, vests for guys.. girls should look their best.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: $20 for everybody. Even though a guestlist was sent in, the price was the same.
Guestlist: drink@zetabar.com.au
Inside: Take the elevator up to the 4th floor. Walk out past the register and on your right is the dancefloor to hold perhaps 50-70 people comfortably. An open wall separates the floor from two large U shaped lounges each to hold probably 20 people. On your left is the long bar along the wall, while opposite the bar are curtained off lounges for private parties. In between is the narrow walkway spanning the length of the bar upto the secondary bar on the far northen end wall. As you walk up to this particular area, there are spotted lounges along the walls, and note the outside courtyard on your left, with some trees in the middle of it providing you with a plentiful source of leaves. Courtyard could hold another 50-100 people.. very tightly though – there isn’t much room to move around here.

Cloak Room: None
Bar Prices / Line: $18 for a Dirty Martini
Bathroom Facilities: Very immaculate. There is even a girl up in the bathroom who sits there all night, individually giving you hand towels, in case you have no idea how to use the paper towel dispensers. After I took 3 paper towels she stood up and showed me that there were heaps left. I suck. 
Eviction Count: None spotted, though I suspect people didn’t come here to get smashed, as it would be too expensive to do so here.
DJs: Resident DJs: DJ Antonio Zambarelli , DJ Ian Drabble earlier int he night
Music Style: Best described as light house, non commercial, turned up loud at the dancefloor, definitely not for the younger children of the dance scene. The video below may help what to expect.
Crowd: Mostly Caucasian crowd, plus some other Asians/ Europeans. It a small mix of birthdays and get togethers tonight. The crowd age is an older crowd. We met a group of people celebrating their 30th. Actually, I was here for a 30th as well. Everyone is dressed well and looking pretty good. Pretty friendly if you had a chat with them, In my experience anyway.
Ratio: It seemed pretty even, 60/40 Girls to Guys at worst.
Entertainment: No extra entertainment tonight
Atmosphere: Early in the night the dancefloor is very empty. This is, a cocktail bar, and people are mingling amongst themselves. Most of the crowd are outside in the smoking courtyard overlooking george st. It is only until just before 11PM that the lights that pervade the entire bar are dimmed down very low, providing for a more intimate/club-like atmosphere. The music is quite loud on the dancefloor. Throughout most of the night I wouldn’t say the place was packed, but there were enough people to be able to dance out front without being noticed. However the dancefloor shenanigans only really picked up at around midnight. The rest of the venue was quite chilled inside, while the courtyard remained busy until it was closed off. At the end of the night the bar undergoes a phased closure area by area.

Happy Birthday, to us all 
So one of my friends convinced a group of women that it was my birthday. Oh hey, it was their birthday as well! It was her 30th and so naturally I said it was my 30th as well.. AND THEY BELIEVED I WAS 30 (

Anyway I spotted their ginormous cake! It was a really big one; There was no way that they were going to finish that chocolate cake amongst 6 girls. I asked for a piece and they were more than happy to give me a huuuge piece, and let me tell you, the icing was bloody delicious. Cakes, cocktails, and chicks. Brilliant.

Having your cake and eating it too

That’s when I spotted her.  This girl added me on facebook, and later on deleted me, probably because we never hung out. Oh let’s hang tonight! I’m pretty sure she was ignoring me until I went up and said hello to her. Then after she slowly recognized me, I told her a line from the song: “you blocked me on facebook, and now you’re going to die”.

Actually, I didn’t say that, but it would have been hilarious in hindsight.

Arrivederci
The place was starting to die from around 2AM and this was evident with the phased closing of the venue, to keep numbers together. Eventually I left just before 3AM as the place was going to close anyway.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
Well, its certainly not for the young teenager looking to get smashed or wanting to get their shuffle on. It’s a night where you want to dress up look good, for a bit of a casual dance as well. This is almost a lower key version of the Ivy. It would be nice to come here every once if you had some spare pocket change, but probably not every week. So rounding off, it’s a great bar, not so much for club dancing.

Front w/ DJ

Luxe (Formerly Vanity) @ Martin Place Bar
Assessment Time: 12:25AM – 3:00AM
Opening Hours: Around 10PM – 4:00AM ??
Lockout: Unknown, but they were still accepting entry fees for people after 3AM for entry.
Address: 51 Martin Place (Elizabeth St corner), opposite hotel chambers.
Venue Website: http://www.martinplacebar.com.au
Event Website: http://www.facebook.com/LuxeSaturdays
Promoters: Urban Agent, VIPList, ESO
Occurrence: Started 3rd March. Previously it was called Vanity, held next door at Verandah Bar, and it has recently moved here to Martin Place Bar.
Outside Line: The line looked long. 30-50 people lining up. It took about 15 minutes to get in. It is frustrating to see other people being able to cut the line and get in beforehand by knowing the promoters et al. , it always is.
Dress Code / Door Policy: Quite a few people are here from Future Music Festival, so the dress code is very relaxed tonight – people in their singlets and outfits mixed up with people who came here dressed up for clubbing.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: $25 Full entry.
Guestlist:Contact your preferred promoter or use any of the following: Info@eso.net.au luxe@viplist.net.au luxe@urbanagent.com.au

Inside: The short version: It’s pretty much almost identical to previous setups of WOW Saturdays or late Bamboo Saturday layouts when it was held here, except that there wasn’t a huge ass podium at the front of the dance area.
The Long Version: the traditional glass doors are closed and everyone needs to walk through via the back smoking area via the back. The outdoor smoking area would fit 50 or so people, plus there is a BBQ here setup for your sausage needs. Inside the club it is a long rectangular layout. the DJ is posted right up at the Northern end against the wall. On the left is the lengthy bar spanning the whole wall. The podium that traditionally sits in front of the booth at prior events here is removed, to free up more dancing room. There are 2 or 3 medium sized podiums along the middle walls of the bar. At the back there is a second smaller bar with presumably a VIP section, which is quite dark, and has a small square layout with lounges and chairs/tables to seat 15-20 people. There also exists more ‘reserved’ areas for seating in the back right corner, just by the smoking areas, you could fit 2 or 3 small birthdays here.
Cloak Room: In the far back corner by the pokie machines. Cost unknown. It would be at least $5 for an item if I would make an educated guess.
Bar Prices / Line: $36 for 4x Jam Donut shots, $8.50 for a Gin and Tonic. Tonight wasn’t as packed as other nights, so it was quite easy to get drink service without having to push in or defend your spot against other women who were good at pushing in.
Bathroom Facilities: Considerably clean.
Eviction Count: None spotted
Music Style: DJ at midnight played a few house tracks to go along with the commercial RnB, keeping in mind that there were a number of people who came straight from Future Music. Later on in the night it defaulted back to commercial Top 40 rnb / pop.
Crowd: Mostly Asians tonight, and mostly local ABCs. Age of the crowd was mostly early 20′s to mid 20′s.
Ratio: The ratio would be 35:65 or 30:70 girls to guys, but the girls who actually here were looking pretty fine.
Entertainment: Jason the korean bum dancer was probably the only real extra entertainment here. I was surprised he wasn’t at Bamboo next door at Verandah.
Atmosphere: After seeing the long line outside, I was surprised to see only about half the club being full. Just crazy, having us wait outside when there is plenty of room inside, and it was already $25 for everyone anyway. (It will never be as bad as the old Cherrijam event where we were forced outside 10 minutes, only to enter a club that had 20 people inside). Despite this, I would say this was the only decently populated event we could find tonight, so I will give it that. At the front there were quite a few guys just creeping around, while at the back there is plenty of room to dance, shuffle, do whatever you like. You were only allowed to dance on the podiums at the rear – the front podium appeared to be reserved for security to stand on. What’s the point of the podium? Music was pretty loud inside but that was expected. If it is your first time here, keep in mind that the wall between the outside smoking area and the inside area of the club is non existent, being opened up by floor to ceiling windows. You *WILL* come home smelling like cigarettes in your hair, skin and clothes. It’s a pet hate of mine. Aslo at the front it got pretty warm/stuffy by the end of the night.

Blessed with a rose
No idea how, but I found a fake petal rose thing, so I stuck it on my chest and told everyone “Happy belated valentines day!”. I don’t think the girls were in much of a romantic mood tonight at this loud, banging, busy, club. Regardless, I am going to shamelessly use this bad ass rose at future events ahaha.

I got the moves, like a Dagger
Dance dance dance is what I did. Danced on the podium. Danced on the floor. Danced at the back, the front, whereever. Walked outside and someone came up to me. He came close and told me these four very words I would never forget:
“Your fly is undone.”
Oh… fuck my life.

Arrivederci
Nothing much else to report, except that seeing some other people wear costumes made me miss wearing one too. It’s long overdue. We left at 3AM

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
Tonight pretty much confirms my theory that club nights are dead or not are at their peak upon festival days. Though this place seems to have held up fairly okay. I would imagine lines would be longer at the bar/outside and less room to dance. I would be hesitant to pay $25 to come here, so try to get a guestlist sorted or check out another venue. If you are into your Asian clubs, then this would be a safe spot to go to find a crowd.

One of the many couples tonight

Heaven @ Helm Bar, Darling Harbour Sydney
Assessment Time: 12:40AM – 3:00AM
Opening Hours: 8:00PMPM – 3:00AM
Lockout: Unknown
Address: 1 wheat road, darling harbour. It is located between Pontoon Bar and Sydney Aquarium along the water. You can hear the music blasting out as you approach. There is no real easy way to get there by car, you simply have to walk it.
Venue Website: http://helmbar.com.au
Event Website: http://www.facebook.com/HeavenSaturdays
Promoter Website: http://www.goldlabelevents.com.au
Occurrence: Every Saturday since it opened 2011. Tonight is their 1st year of survival. Hurrah! Always a good sign.

Outside Line: No line when we got in at 12:40AM
Dress Code / Door Policy: Hats allowed. No dress code was encouraged at the door, but most people dressed sensibly. There were some hen’s nights and birthdays here so there were some girls and guys dressed really well mixed with people dressed casually who were more laid back. The website stated that no sport shoes or t-shirts/hoodies were allowed. All I can say is that there were no hoodies.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: $25 for us as a full charge. This was a big step up from the $15 they had when they first opened. Anyway, you can still get $15 entry if you submit a guestlist and arrive at Helm Bar before 11PM.
Guestlist: submit to info@goldlabelevents.com.au . Birthday packages available for guestlists of 25+ people.

Inside: Walking upstairs via the Northern entrance, you enter the triangular rear end of the bar, where you stand at a corner of it. The rear end here tonight accommodates for 9 reserved birthday areas on one wall, where a long lounge lines the wall. The rest of this area is spotted with high tables and stools upon wooden floorboards. In all this area would hold 150 or so people. The other half of the venue, on the far end is split into the enclosed bar are and open air dancefloor/DJ area. The bar area is simply a bar manned by 3 or 4 staff, with a big polished floorboard are presumably for indoor dancing. The DJ/dancefloor area is outside but is more or less a continuation of both the bar area and the rear end – more people choose to smoke here.
Cloak Room: Located on the way to the bathroom, it is $3 for 1 item and $5 for 2 items. Very good value.
Bar Prices / Line: Didn’t buy any drinks tonight.
Bathroom Facilities: Two working basins was good enough for me. Urinals and stalls as well. Throughout the night they were pretty clean, without any sign of someone vomiting their guts out. I like it.
Eviction Count: We saw one guy get kicked out, but he seemed to have accepted his fate rather than be forcefully pushed out.
DJs: Unknown, but there was roughly 2 or 3 DJ’s during our 2 hours here.
Music Style: Mostly contemporary RnB, Pop, House you hear on the radio, with some old school rnb (not hip hop) thrown in. The mixing was very erratic, with many excellent songs being cut off after only a verse. I understand if it happens a handful of times, but it happened way, way too many times.. enough for it to be noticed. On top of this, when you hear the song “coco jumbo” repeated twice, on top with the 5 or 6 other songs that were repeated, you have to wonder what is going on here. I can only imagine how many songs were repeated if we came here say at 11PM.
Crowd: A very mixed crowd tonight. Mostly Caucasians who were Euro or Aussie but they were probably 60-70%. There were also Indians, Maori, Asians, Africans… the lot. Ages vary from young all the way to folk in their 30′s and 40′s. Though later in the night after 1:15AM we became the only Asians in here.
Ratio: We did arrive a little late to the party, missing probably the peak of it all. The ratio was more guys than girls tonight, but despite that, most girls looked quite well.
Entertainment: MC Abe hosting, there were giveaways earlier in the night for best dressed, and canapes/champagne for lucky early people.
Atmosphere: Out of the entire venue there was only about 25-30% of floor space which was used for dancing. Theoretically everyone could have been dancing but, as most bar/clubs demonstrate,only a handful are gutsy enough to rock up for a jive. Tonight also the theme is devils and angels, so there are a few girls and guys with horns and wings to celebrate. The volume was loud enough for me to put on ear plugs. Right in the core of the floor there were a handful of folk who were here to dance the whole night away, and you have to applaud them for that. However for the rest of the crowd, they started to disappear after around 1:15am. It was a slow evacuation, as it was packed but not too packed- you could still stretch your arms out and still have room. Outside the immediate dancefloor it’s much more relaxed, with enough tables and stools for people to sit around for a chat. Cigarette smoke wise, I was expecting a lot of smoke to come my way but surprisingly not many in the crowd smoked or they were all along the fringe of the balcony, which was way better than a similar place, say pontoon bar next door, where the larger crowds result in an ever pervasive fog of cigarette smoke.

Kamate
Kiwi Maori guy met us, we danced I think. He bought us a drink. So nice of him! So in return, I tried to do a Haka, which turned out to be probably an insult to all Maori’s out there. Thank god he just laughed at me instead. It was quite atrocious.

Indecisive
Two girls come to dance with us. My girl dances then gets distracted and goes back to her friends. That’s cool. whatever. Then a minute later comes back and then goes back. Whatever. Then she does it again for a third time. Man, weird, I can’t explain it. I don’t think i was doing anything wrong.

No hardcore dancing
Someone tried to breakdance but was stopped by security. A shame, since half the dancefloor was already empty.

Arrivederci
Kicked out just before 3AM.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
Come here early. Music could be mixed better with less repeating. It was quite tragic to hear multiple songs repeated. It’s a nice location and a safe place to go for a birthday. It would have been nice if the crowd hung around a bit longer but you can’t have it all.

Heaven Saturdays @ Helm Bar – 6.5/10

More men and creepy looking Asian guy in the back.

Dropping by: Saturday Nights @ Sweenys Hotel, Sydney

Assessment Time: 11:40PM- 12:00AM
Venue Website: www.hotelsweeneys.com.au
Promoter Website: Self promoted
Occurrence: Every weekend
Outside Line: No line
Dress Code / Door Policy: Very casual here
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: Free all night
Guestlist: None
Inside: It’s like a small courtyard with a small bar to go with it. It could hold about 50-80 people.
Cloak Room: None
Bar Prices / Line: Didn’t drink here tonight.
Music Style: House and some trance. It was good to shuffle to, bass thumping, but the tunes themselves were unfamiliar. 
Crowd: Mostly locals as well as backpackers. Mixed ages from 20′s to 30′s
Ratio: Approximately 80% guys. 
Atmosphere: The whole are was pretty busy so it was an okay atmosphere but everyone was smoking, and it got a little hot just even mildly dancing around. The actual dancing area in front of the DJ, not many were actually dancing, so it was difficult to pick the crowd up. The two of us danced away and got a lof of guy attention, and some of them end up dancing with us. Fun times?? Also on the way up, the lower floors smell quite dirty.

After we had enough sausages, we left. 

Final Thoughts & Recommendation

I wouldn’t come here solely to dance. This seems to be more of an added service to patrons who already come here for a dance, rather than to separately attract outside people here.

Bad Party / Club Wings @ Cheers Nightclub, Sydney
Assessment Time: 11:50PM – 12:40AM
Opening Hours: 11:00PM – 4:00AM
Lockout: Unknown
Address: 561 George St. Cheers Nightclub is underground, separate from Cheers Bar on the ground floor.
Venue Website: http://www.cheersbar.com.au
Event Website: http://www.cheersbar.com.au/sydneycheers
Promoter Website: Unknown, but it is definitely one of the Korean promoters.
Occurrence: Every Thursday since 2011. It was called “Bad Party”, with the idea that “Bad” implied naughty-ness, but that has immensely backfired in a contextual sense, and because of this, the promoters have changed the event name to “Club wings” this year. You can tell the promoters are the same, when the club stamp on my arm says “Bad Party”. These promoters are living off a shoestring. 
Outside Line: There was no line. Just 3 pretty girls in Angel Wings. Admittedly they swayed my decision to go inside here tonight. Damn me for having a mindset of a man.
Dress Code / Door Policy: No hats allowed in here. Other than that, you were allowed to pretty much wear casual clothing within reason. Most guys wore collared shirts. The girls were pretty casual as well tonight
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: $5 entry. Previous weeks girls got free entry before 1AM but it is unknown if that was applied tonight.
Guestlist: N/A
Inside: Walk downstairs underground to enter the one room of the nightclub. On the left wall is the bar. On the right wall are TV screens playing the video clip to whatever song is being played at the moment. The other two walls are lined with lounges. The DJ booth is on the far right wall. Right smack in the middle is the wooden dancefloor, with the rest of the area being carpeted. The floor is approximately 7×7 metres.
Cloak Room: None
Bar Prices / Line: I didn’t drink tonight. Water can be had separately.
Bathroom Facilities: On a weekend the bathroom usually reeks like urine and vomit. Thankfully tonight nobody has done such things, and they are acceptable for a Thursday night. That’s right folks, it doesn’t smell like piss tonight.
Eviction Count: None spotted
DJs: DJ Nick Kim all night
Music Style: Purely Top 40 and classic party hits. Full music songs are played, with the associated video clip played on TV screens around the walls. The DJ doesn’t really have much flexibility in this case in terms of mixing – being forced to really only be creative when transitioning between songs, which isn’t the hardest thing to do. Even my mother could do it. I felt sorry for the DJ, he looked like he was over these pop songs.

Crowd: About 40-50% of the crowd looked Korean, while the rest of the crowd looked like backpackers who just wandered in, not knowing what it was like, as well as a handful of guys suited up who had just finished work.

Ratio: Ratio was skewed towards guys tonight – approximately 1 girl per 3 guys.
Entertainment: No extra entertainment.
Atmosphere: Upon entry (11:50PM), the population was exactly 10 people on the dancefloor and about another 10 sitting down. At around 12:20AM (half an hour later), its still dead as hell, and only the courageous people are dancing on the dancefloor (about 2 people), simply because if you decided to dance, everyone else in the whole nightclub will stare at you, since there is nothing else to stare at. It is still dead here, and thus is the explanation why this place doesn’t smell. The volume overall isn’t too loud but its good enough. The dancefloor is half-lit with the surrounds being pretty dark, the only light source eminating from the TV screens. There are also some strobe lights which add to the effect, but overall it was a very quiet night here. I think finally just at around 12:40AM, the entire crowd population numbers DOUBLED to 40 p. An amazing achievement.

Arrivederci
Well, I was only dropping by, and I had to leave. This wasn’t going to pick up any time soon, especially considering the rain outside.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
There are better places to go with a similar crowd / music style, which are free and nearby. I’m thinking Side Bar, Scary Canary, and sadly even Scruffy Murphys. However if you really wanted to meet some Korean folk and spend $5 then go for your life, but don’t get your hopes up. I won’t be back here.

Dance podium area

Saturdays @ “The Club” Nightclub, Kings Cross, Sydney
Assessment Time: 12:30AM – 2:00AM
Opening Hours: 21:00PM – 05:00AM
Lockout: Unknown
Address: 33 Bayswater Road, Potts Point, Sydney. 
Venue Website: http://theclubsydney.com  Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/theclubsydney
Event / Promoter Website: Self promoted
Occurrence: Every weekend. 
Outside Line: There’s two lines, one for re-entry and one for ‘first time’ entries. Our ‘first time’ line took about 5 minutes, while re-entry was only a few seconds. Security were pretty lenient on scanning. 
Dress Code / Door Policy: Being situated below Hugo’s, one would believe the dress code would be strict, but it suprisingly isn’t. T-shirts and hats were allowed for guys and so were singlets  allowed for the ladies. There is a simple explanation for this later on. 
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: Tonight was $25. 
Guestlist: you may enquire within at info@theclubsydney.com but we are not sure if you are guaranteed a response. 
Inside: Walk past the counter to enter the common pre-club hangout area where you can either move onto the main room, a side room, the bathroom or the outdoor smoking courtyard area. The side room is quite small and has a small DJ set on a table, with lounges and a small bar staffed by 1 person. Bathroom to the left and main room on the right. The first set of steps takes you to the main bar area, which is basically: big long bar on the left, with lounges around the whole floor. There is even a darker corner of lounges on the far left. Continue walking and approach the second flight of stairs, which leads you to the main dancefloor. The area can hold about 200-300 people easily and if you watched the video, our first reaction was “wow”, just seeing this big space snugly hidden underground from the outside view. Big giant disco ball overhangs while there is a large podium/stage area with not 1, not 2, but three dancing poles. That is pretty impressive. It is no surprise to learn that this place was a former strip club.

Cloak Room: None spotted
Bar Prices / Line: I didn’t drink tonight but there are, indeed, jugs of water on the side you can get instead of waiting in line. The lines looked terribly long, and only began to die down closer to 2AM. The bar at the far corner of the main dancefloor would be the least busy as it was also the least accessible. 
Bathroom Facilities:  Acceptable
Eviction Count: Spotted one man besing escorted out by security, followed by about 10 of his friends. 
DJs: Unknown, but during the 2 hours we were here, we just had 2 DJ’s working together on tracks, so we didn’t suffer any repeated tracks. Earlier in the night, we missed the 11:30 Set from Foster the People. Oh my god.. Foster the People,  PEOPLES!!
Music Style: Primarily classic old school RnB and Hip Hop, with some contemporary RnB, reggae and rap thrown in. This was definitely not suited for the young people who only listen to the radio. Notorious B.I.G, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Outkast, UB40 are some of the artists you would hear here tonight. 
Crowd: Considering the music and from what I could tell, most of the crowd here were mostly in their mid-20′s as an average age. I could be totally wrong, but definitely mostly in the 20′s or over. Mostly also a Caucasian crowd – Mostly White Aussies with some Wogs and to a lesser extent other minorities. It appeared the crowd mostly were local, rather than internationals or backpackers.
Ratio: Pretty fair ratio throughout the night, girls looked pretty when they were found. 
Entertainment: The dancepoles here provided some entertainment, as well as a set from Foster the People earlier tonight. I still can’t believe I missed out on them. 
Atmosphere: It’s underground – it’s going to be dark, and it is. When getting to the main room I was in awe of the amount of people who have managed to come here tonight. With the people come also the buildup of heat and humidity making it very warm for me, quite quickly. I was very compelled to remove my blazer in the first five minutes being here. Other guys were walking around with back and armpit sweat stains. There are about 10 girls counted on the dancing pole stage when we entered. Almost everybody on the floor is vibing and dancing, while in the lounge areas it is quite noisy as people chat and drink away.  This kept up throughout most of the night, with some spots to dance only clearing up at around 1:30AM. This unfortunately didn’t help with the heat situation.

Breaking through the proverbial door
The door wasn’t proverbial. And the person trying to climb through the door was this drunk girl. The door had a little hole in it, just big enough for perhaps a 10 year old to climb through, and this poor girl was already head through and right leg through. It was quite the amusing sight, as she tried to push the rest of her body through. Lube, anyone?

How to hunt for Cool Breeze
When you’re in the middle of the dancefloor that is full of body, things get pretty hot, and you want to find a place to cool down, but there is nowhere to go. All you need to do is look up. So I looked up, and there weren’t many long air conditioning vents there, but there was one near the front, which was heaven! We dared not venture out to other areas of the club, lest our bodies melted under the intense humidity. Speaking of melting, this is what happened to the club stamp after half an hour in the club:

Almost washed out after 30 minutes

Welcome to sydney
Nothing like a bit of prejudice as we hear some guys say “welcome to Sydney” and snigger as we walk by. We must be giving off a huge tourist vibe. I think “Fuck you”, would have been a nice response.

Arrivederci  
Ok we took a breather at 1:30AM but it was only an hour since we entered the club, and so we went back into the dancefloor den, but could only manage until 2:00AM until giving up the fight and leaving this literal human sauna, to find another place to dance.  

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
It’s a beautiful venue, and the music I absolutely adore, but it seems it is so popular that is has overheating problems. The air conditioning must be fixed in here!!! If only this was not a problem, then this would be a place I could easily recommend. Until then I would be pretty hesistant to pay the $25 to return here for a dance. If you wanted to come here for a drink and a very short dance, you’ll enjoy it.

Courtyard area (just the front bit)

Wonderland @ Greenwood Hotel, North Sydney
Assessment Time: 12:10AM – 3:00AM
Opening Hours: 8:00PM – 3:00AM
Lockout: Unknown
Address: 36 Blue St, North Sydney
Venue Website: http://www.greenwoodhotel.com
Promoters: The claim was 17 promoters joined in the fun to make this event. The main promoter was Syndicate Events, GTB, and Colab – the same promoters for Perfect Nights @ Pontoon Bar.
Occurrence: Once off event for Australia Day
Outside Line: There were about 5 people in front of us, but we quickly got in
Dress Code / Door Policy: Relaxed dress code. Most things were okay. Most guys wore t-shirts but girls still glammed up.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: $25 full entry. Pre-paid tickets unknown.
Guestlist: N/A
Inside: Enter via the rear via the ramp where the register is. Pay your dues and walk down the ramp to enter the courtyard where the DJ is on the left with a standing area in front for around 100 people. There are tables, chairs and stonewalls for people to sit on to get their smoko on. The whole building looks like it could have been a little church (and it probably was), considering the large sandstone bricks that make its walls and the general architecture of the building. There are four separate door entrances along the walls to each of the 4 internal rooms. The right most room is “the clinic” room, a small room with a bar, lounges and a small dance area to hold 15-20 people. The next rooms are the chillout room and the Mashup room – mashup room has a bar along the wall and a wall cushion bench thing with a slightly larger dance area with DJ in the far corner. The chillout room is just that, with music supplied just outside from the courtyard – saloon style lounges and bar exist in here. The “Black Label” room is the largest of the rooms with DJ on the far right and dance area for a good 100 or so people.

Cloak Room: The cloak room was situated upstairs on your right, as you just step into the Greenwood Hotel courtyard. $5 for bag deposits. 
Bar Prices / Line: 3 minute wait at the bar in the mashup room. $49 for 4x Jam Donut shots and 2x Tequila shots.
Bathroom Facilities: Bathroom upstairs near the cloak room as well as downstairs by the rear of the ‘Black Label’ room. The facilities sufficed.
Eviction Count: Didn’t spot anything personally. Crowd were pretty behaved tonight.
DJs: A whole shitload over the four separate areas. There’s a picture in the gallery with the full DJ list.
Music Style: Outdoor courtyard: Contemporary RnB / Top 40, “Black Label” Room: Classic RnB / Hip Hop, Mashup Room: RnB and House mashup naturally, “The Clinic” Room: House, classic House. Overall compared to other typical Sydney clubs where you are faced with one or maybe 2 rooms, you have a choice from 4 rooms of music, but they all pretty much overlapped in terms of just playing commercial House and RnB / Hip Hop to satisfy the crowd, so if you just are a regular radio listener you would be into this kind of music.
Crowd: Mixed ages, mostly people in their 20′s – an even mix of young and slightly older late 20′s and some early 30′s characters I bumped into. A lot of people here is of Asian descent and pretty much every Asian person looked like a local Aussie Asian.  The rest (about 10-20%) were mostly Euro or locals in the area. 
Ratio: If you were to find a good ratio of women, they would be hiding out in the RnB / Top 40 rooms, rather than the house rooms. Overall it was alright, probably 65/35 female/male but it wasn’t an overwhelming feeling of sausage around.
Entertainment: No extra entertainment, though there are $5 burgers if your stomach desires it. The patties looked burnt and carcinogenic though. DJ in the mashup room was giving away mix CD’s. The CD has some choice songs on it, but the mixing was pretty horrid IMHO. 
Atmosphere: Outside its always busy with the crowd surrounding the DJ, but on the downer this area doubles up as the smoking area and I personally couldn’t hang out here for long periods of time. The Clinic room, being where most house and “shuffling” songs were being played, quickly became a mini literal boiler room, where the humidity of sweat just hits you as you walked in. It’s qutie dark in The Clinic room and you may shuffle as you wish without much judgement, if you could find some room in the cramped area. The Black Label room also fell under this humid B.O smell but only until just before it closed, as the room was larger. The chillout and mashrooms were pretty bright/well-lit and no more than a handful of people were up in front of the DJ dancing at any one time. Most people chose to sit down and have a chat/take photos here. The crowd in general as mentioned were pretty well behaved and most just wanting to dance and apparently enjoy the night.

Timeline

Hate brings people together
“Whooa-ooa-oaa-oaa-ohhh… whooa-ooaa-ohhaoahohhh.. You know you love me.. (uh huh) I know you care!”.

Oh… if you haven’t figured it out, its a song I used to love, but now am not a fan of anymore. It’s JUSTIN BIEBER’S ‘Baby’. UGH. So when the DJ plays this song I sit down with a friend and mock-karaoke the words. The random guy next to me doesn’t like the song either and we quickly became friends over the song. I start thinking about a future friendship with him: going out, dinners, water sports together, etc.

Anyway we had some shots together! He said he was here alone only because the DJ was a friend of his. It’s like that with a lot of people who you see at the clubs and just sit down. He ran off after the shot. It was fun while it lasted.

Even when I am clubbing, I am not safe
I was chatting to a pretty girl and you know, I reckon we got along well. I started thinking about having a future relationship with her: Going out, dinners, water sports together etc.

Anyway we had a dance, and then… it goes a little something like this:
Her: I think I know you from somewhere.
Me: Where! (praying to god it wasn’t from this website)
Her: Do you live in XXXXX ?
Me: Yes, I do!
Her: OMG… I think I know YOUR MUM!!
Me: Ahhh WHAT!????????? MY MUM!!? X_X
Her: Your mum once babsit my kids a few years ago, and I remember meeting you!
Me: Oh right..

Hoolleyyy shitfucks this was way too weird.
It was all coming back to me now. I was a strapping young lad back in the day, and she looked exactly the same as the last time I saw her all those years ago. It would be weird if I went for it, and she decided to visit me again at home, so I wisely moved on.

Arrivederci
Stayed around until 3AM when everything was done.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
This was a once off event but other events at Greenwood should be definitely considered going to, especially if you haven’t been before since it’s a nice little venue.

Upstairs

Perfect @ Pontoon Bar, Darling harbour, Sydney
Assessment Time: 10:10PM – 1:15AM, 3:15AM-3:30AM
Opening Hours: Downstairs: (Open earlier in the night for dinner – 4:00AM) Upstairs: 11:30PM – 2/3AM?
Lockout: No known lockout, but entry is closed to the general public at 3AM, while stampholders are still permitted re-entry rights at all times, though you have to line up in line AGAIN if you want to get back in. Totally sucks.
Address: Listed as 201 Sussex St, but access to the place is more or less via The Promenade at Darling Harbour’s Cockle Bay Wharf. The main entry is now via the ground floor where you will usually see a line of people. After 11PM you can also pay for your entry upstairs and get stamped as well – so there are two effective entry points.
Venue Website: http://www.pontoonbar.com
Event Website: http://www.theperfectnight.com.au http://www.facebook.com/perfectnights
Promoters: Joint promoter companies: Colab, Syndicate Events, GTB, and an extra promoter “Forever Fridays” tonight who are hail from Melbourne – they brought over their MC and a Melbourne based DJ.
Occurrence: Every Friday since Mid-April 2011
Outside Line: We arrived a little earlier than I would usually like, but there were no people in line. As we debated whether we should go in, about TWENTY people jumped in line. Oh my god. We joined the line eventually and got in after about 10 minutes. Upstairs opens at 11PM, and despite having stamps already, we have to line up AGAIN amongst the other people who haven’t paid entry to get access! Bloody ridiculous. It’s the same as well downstairs, once you go outside for whatever reason, you have to line up to get back in. Luckily for the smokers, there are “open” areas on each level where you can puff and stuff your lungs with tar. Later in the night around midnight it took a friend 30 minutes to get in. Tough love.
Dress Code / Door Policy: Smart Casual is promoted here tonight, and pretty much most people here are compliant. Not sure about the hat situation but the last few times I was here, they were okay to wear. Most guys are in pants/jeans and a collared t-shirt, and girls have managed to not wear casual tonight.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: Standard full fare Asian clubbing price of $25 tonight. If you were on the guestlist and arrived before 11:30PM, you got a card that entitled you to $15 entry. Brilliant, except during a moment of absent mindedness, I forgot to use my card and inadvertedly paid $25 without even realising it. I simply gave the discount card to another friend so they could enjoy the benefits of me lining up early, while they didn’t have to.
Guestlist: Guestlists are no longer valid after 11:30PM. Guestlists to be sent to info@syndicateevents.com.au
Inside: Ground Level: Walk past the easy-to-miss cloak room and cashier to enter the middle part of the floor. To the left is the main bar with about 2-3 staff as well as the entire outdoor area. The are large wooden tables and stools, chairs, lounges about, where people were once dining hours ago. This outdoor area could hold easily 100 people or so. The dancefloor area on the right is a slow covered transition from the outdoor area where also 100-200 people can dance here. The DJ booth sits in the far corner near the toilets. There is little furniture bar a lounge at the rear of the dancefloor. Upstairs: Walk through the chillout/smoking area where there are many lounges, with a view of Darling harbour – continue on into the depths of the dancefloor situated on the far end of the room, as where the DJ is. The setup has slightly changed from last time, where the DJ was in the middle. I think this is a good thing as it is as far away from the smoke as possible, though at risk of the area overheating quickly. The walls are lined with squarely setup lounges. Bar is on the right
Cloak Room: Cloak room downstairs – $5 for placing an item, while it is $2 for rechecks. Pretty reasonable.
Bar Prices / Line: $15.70 altogether for a Gin and Tonic, Orange Juice and coke. $12.90 for a Vodka+Red Bull in a tall glass. At 10:15PM there was no waiting time. At 11PM the wait increased to about 5 minutes. At around 1AM, the wait was timed at about twenty five (25) minutes on both levels up and down.
Bathroom Facilities: Fair, could be a little bigger.
Eviction Count: None spotted, but I wasn’t paying attention.
DJs: Resident DJ’s plus guest DJ Mich from Melbourne
Music Style: Mostly Contemporary RnB downstairs, while upstairs did play some more of the older ‘throwback’ rnb songs. Oh yes, throwback is a word im going to use now.
Crowd: Dominantly Asian, and mostly local Aussie Asians. I don’t think I ran into one international Asian here tonight. Most of the ages were young. Company was of course lots of 21 year olds. That said, the crowd was mostly young 20′s to mid 20′s, as far as I could tell.
Ratio: You know its always going to be more guys then girls, but it was good. A lot of the girls looked their best surprisingly tonight, and I ain’t complaining.
Entertainment: There was no real special occasion except for having the MC and DJ from melbourne to do a set.

Atmosphere: Between 10-11PM: People were mostly in the courtyard chatting and drinking, with some daring to go on the floor.
Around 11:15PM: I would consider the dancefloor downstairs to have enough people to be considered pretty busy. That is quite the achievement. I got pretty hot in my blazer already at this time, and the lack of seabreeze from outside plus the cigarette smoke didn’t help either. Man, let me tell you cigarette smoke always does me in at the clubs. I try and stay away from it as much as I can, resulting me in being on the dancefloor most of the time. Though there were quite a lot of people outside in the courtyard not to smoke, but to just have a normal conversation about the weather, or discuss about why do they call it a building, when its already built?
Upstairs after 11:30PM it wasnt packed but it wasn’t dead. You could dance here but the sofas right next to the dancefloor made you feel like you were on show, and people shied away from that area. The line at the bar here was pretty long as well during midnight-1AM

Timeline
Another reason I dont like lining up at the bar
You know what I like about lining up? Nothing. Well actually, I like it when there is like a girl behind me and unfortunately she has to place her breasts on my back as I line up. Besides that, there really isn’t much fun in the line at all. So as part of this fun experience we have two people placing orders, and they have bought some shots. Well, you know, they had to pass the shots to their friends behind us, and somehow spilled some of that shit all over our clothing!! yuuuuuuuuckk. I hate that. Keep your hand steady please. Then as a added thing, his friend spilled another drink on us too. Fun times. Turns out the guy who spilled the drinks was a friend of my younger brother. My lord, I don’t belong here.

A envigorating dancer
There are a few dancers that many Asian a folk will always remember, such as Jason from Bamboo/Wow.. or.. well you know. Other people. Anyway, a friend of a friend who came along to the party looks quite like a normal chap until he starts to dance. He is on supercharged energizers.. oh my lord. hair shaking, fist bumping, very surreal performance. A few people could probably keep up with this guy, but definitely the highlight was when he jumped up and did the splits on the floor. THE SPLITS! who in this world can do the splits? Apparently my friends say 1 in 5 but I don’t know.

Arrivederci
I took it extremely easy tonight as I had to go snorkelling in the morning. I left just before 1:30 .

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
Simply by having two levels of rooms, this place pretty much trumps the others in terms of numbers of Asians you can fit into one place. It seems to be a default for my friends and I do try to avoid it as much as possible to prevent getting sick of the place, but besides the long bar lines, smoking, stale warm weather, and that drink spill.. I can’t really fault much of it. Didn’t really interact with the crowd tonight so I can’t tell if they were friendly or what not. Other than that I would say though, do try to get in before 11:30 with a guestlist, because the difference between $15 and $25 is a big one.

with a local

Saturdays @ Club 22, Papanui, Christchurch, New Zealand

Assessment Time: 11:00 PMish – 1:30AM
Opening Hours: 8:00PM – 2:00AM
Lockout: Unknown, but we were told at 1:30 we were not allowed back in if we left.
Address: 22 Harewood Road, Papanui, Christchurch, New Zealand
Venue Website: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Club-22/121971104547871 There are no other websites.
Promoter Website: Self Promoted
Occurrence: Every Saturday since the club opened in April 2011. Club 22 is also open on Thursdays, Fridays as well. 
Outside Line: I don’t recall any line there. We got in after showing our Australian Passports. Security were friendly enough to give us some flack for being Aussie
Dress Code / Door Policy: The dress code was promoted as casual. Pretty much anyone can get in wearing their pajamas if they wanted to. Most people dressed casually or dressed smart casual. There were a handful of guys who had top hats. Marty has my punk wig on and it seems to be accepted. After 5 minutes inside the club I got asked by a second security guard if I was allowed in with wearing of my pirate hat, and I said yes. I was pretty sure I was targeted for being too sexy. So the hat policy is questionable. 
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: $5 for both men and women after 10 O’clock. Before 10PM it was free entry tonight. Not sure if this was a short promotion or a permanent entry fee thing. Regardless, as I have mentioned in another post, $5 is ridiculously cheap compared to $20/$25 in Sydney, but the locals still don’t like it, as every single other bar/pub/club in the area country is free entry. The club is still also haunted by the scandal of $22 entry fees for guys and free entry for girls when it first opened. 
Guestlist: Unsure, but very unlikely as entry is only $5. You can try club22club@gmail.com and ask if they have bookings, but what would be the point. 

Inside: Walk inside to enter the main open room. Bar right on the opposite end staffed by 2-3 personnel, and to the right along the wall is an elevated area for about 8-10 lounges. The ceiling is quite high and on the far right wall is a floor-ceiling dance pole. Smoking and seating area is behind here as well. There is little barrier between the smoking area and the immediate area inside the club, so you will get a whiff of the smoke if you hang around here. The main dancefloor is contained within a room to hold approximately 160-200 people. Entry is via two doors, one at the entry and one near the bar. Within the room there is a second bar attended by 2 staff members. Along one of the walls is a bench but it pretty much is used as a podium. DJ booth is on the opposite wall to the bar.
Cloak Room: Cloak service is available according to the website, but I couldn’t find a cloak area. It is probably done at the bar, but I can’t tell, as I didn’t use the services tonight.
Bar Prices / Line: I didn’t drink tonight, but I did have to line up for water. The wait at the main bar was quite long at about 10 minutes. Inside was the same story. It was just a matter of waiting it out. We were told by some of the regulars that if you knew some the bartenders then you could get lucky and get a bit of extra alcohol for your buck! Oh damn.
Bathroom Facilities: Appeared quite clean, I didn’t have to wait.
Eviction Count: There were a handful of evictions that I did see, in particular one of a guy who was just drunk, and standing against the wall with his beer in his hand. Security were quick to kick him out, even if he wasn’t causing trouble. Me and Marty had a bit of a dance outside the main room as well, in the general bar area – but we danced a bit too vigorously and were asked by security to basically slow down the pace of the dancing for the sake of other people. Haha to be asked to stop dancing in a club.. amazing, but I guess it had to be done for the sake of the general public who weren’t here to dance. Theres quite a heavy police present inside and outside the club – the club has been noted to attract a lot of drunk people who wander the streets, urinating on innocent residents property, as well as to start trouble.
DJs: Resident DJ Mike T all night. Hooray for no song repeats!
Music Style: This was a mix of house and rnb i believe. Unfortunately my camera ran out of juice so I couldn’t sample the music tonight. Later in the night it was mostly house a mix of commercial and unknown stuff. It kind of turned me off when I wasn’t familiar with the tunes, and I wasn’t going to hang around in the stuffy room.
Crowd: Mostly a younger crowd here teenagers, low 20′s kind of crowd. The majority, if not everyone, are locals here, not many backpackers / foreigners were here. This is truly also a mixed crowd – Indians, Africans, Kiwis, us Aussies, Asians, Wogs, whatever goes, goes.
Ratio: A tremendous sausage fest ratio early in the night, but it did get a little better as the night picked up. Initially the girls were in the dance room but nearing the end of the night they were more in the lounge area of the club.
Entertainment: Hired professional pole dancers go up and do a show for us, and the way they dance… Oh My Lord-Of-The-Rings, they are good at what they do. A must see.
Atmosphere: initially early on in the night there isn’t much going on. People are slowly tricking into the club, and it only starts to seriously pick up in the dance room at around midnight. The whole venue is indeed purpose built for a club-like atmosphere. The lounges are here, the strobes and flashy lights, loud soundsystem, no smoke machine though. In the main dance room, the ventilation is quite poor here, and combined with the bustling crowd it gets pretty hot, very quickly. Just standing around and slowly swaying left and right is enough to get you sweaty and uncomfortable when the place gets packed. People are generally quite friendly and here to dance and have a good time. Outside in the lounge its more chilled, people are generally chatting or just .. chilling out.

Outfits
We still had out outfits from New Years Eve – Wheres Wally, Punk Wig, Captain Jack Sparrow. It was the last night so we might as well dress up for the fun of it, ahha. Martin dons the Pink punk wig and I go for Jack Sparrow, without make up. I really wish that they had a socially accepted man version of eye-liner, but unfortunately they do not have such items yet. Regardless, the sole purpose of the outfits was to rip it up the only way we know how and leave New Zealand, before New Zealand makes us leave. Needless to say hooray these simple little costumes work wonders, and we are the life of the party damnit! Not only that, we created the damn party since everyone else wasn’t dancing at all. 

A brief history of Club 22 (as summarised by the many people who shared their stories with me)
- Earthquake hits Christchurch. Nightlife is gone
- Club 22 opens, 22 being the location on the street as well as the coincidentally the date of the earthquake
- Initially $22 for guys and Free for girls. A few weeks later it was $5 even after government intervention. Patrons have never let this down and the stigma still lingers, that that this club is out to get your money.
- Lots of drunk people can be found outside
- Huge fight late 2011 resulted in an increased police presence for patron safety.
- This is still the only good club in Christchurch.
- Some of the people don’t like coming here, but have no other choice and come here anyway. Whether people love it or lump it, they won’t forget this club for sure.
- We arrived.

Once Upon a time in Christchurch
This entire trip, pretty much every club that was visited in New Zealand was all Caucasian with perhaps some Maori people. However tonight was the first time we saw A GROUP OF ASIANS. Not just one group, but MULTIPLE GROUPS OF ASIANS. It only took until the last day of our trip to find out that Asian people were also hiding in Christchurch! What amazement. Imagine not eating rice for 10 days, and then suddently you see rice. (Obviously this entire paragraph only makes sense if you are Asian. Otherwise replace the word “rice” with your ethnic food of choice, be it savlouki, kebabs, hot dogs, samosa, etc. ) You can’t help but say hello.

I had to talk to these rice people, so we did. Later we find out one of the girls is from Sydney, CABRAMATTA… of all places! Amazzzing! hahahahaha it was almost like we were having a conversation with a random girl at Verandah Bar or Martin Place Bar on an Asian clubbing night – because there was a bloody good chance she would be from Cabramatta or Bankstown. LOL Her guy friend wasn’t from Cabramatta, but judging by the way he was giving us dirties, he might as well have been! My lord of the rings, he wasn’t friendly at all, even though I tried my best. So after about 5 minutes of one-way dirties, I think we made the wise decision to mingle somewhere else, before we got glassed or something.

We also met a handful of Internationals here, and they are exactly the same as in Sydney: “No English” is the reply when you talk to them. Ah yes, the universal phrase of “go away” exists here too.

Arrivederci
Eventually the stuffiness of the room was too much to bear. The ratio also dropped considerably after 1AM, so it was just a matter of dancing and making the most of it. We gave up trying to keep dancing while sweating, and left at 1:30AM.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
This was the only purpose club we could find here in Christchurch, so definitely come here for a dance. If you aren’t a fan of the occasional drunk person, stuffy rooms, or cover charge, an alternative venue is the Running Bull about 10 mins drive away, but not much else.

Despite all this, if you are able to take care of yourself and are with a group of friends who want a serious dance, then come here. I wouldn’t mind coming back here as I had a nice time, but only as there isn’t much else – do keep in mind the place doesn’t pick up until around 11:30ish, but the non-drunk crowd is quite friendly and ready to party in this somewhat city still trying to rebuild.

Rating : 6.5/10

Money Shot

“Kiwi Crawl” Pub Crawl, Queenstown, New Zealand:
Website: http://www.KiwiCrawl.co.nz
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: $20. Includes 6 free drinks, pizza and entry to the venues that we go to.
Music Style: Most places had house/RnB, while some places were just bars to have a drink at.
Crowd: For tonight’s crawl, we had 2 Kiwis, and the rest were Australian, except for one American.
Ratio: 2 girls to 1 guy, though there were only 9 of us tonight, as it was immediately after new years
Entertainment: Our host was a big life of the party for sure.
Atmosphere: Lots of drink challenges and random street antics as one does when inebriated.

Timeline (of the various bars)
Started in the World Bar, Queenstown. Let me tell you, it is exactly like the World Bar in Sydney! Cocktails are served in teapots and everything, but this World Bar is more spacious than the Sydney one, albeit it’s only on one level, while Sydney’s Word Bar has three levels. A strangely familiar sight it was. So we just chilled out here and the organiser came up and told us only 9 people signed up for the pub crawl – but 6 were girls. Oh yeah!!
And so it began, the 9 of us on a pub crawl. A vast difference to the 500+ people who signed up only days earlier for New Years. We did our intros and well I don’t think I was going to go far. The advantages of a smaller group was that we got to have some double shots at the venues, hooray!

Random bar #1 – Double free shot on entry. Bought a “Money shot” where you shake the cocktail in your mouth and it tastes like PANCAKES! Amazing

Me: hello
Her: Hello! Blah blah blah blah
Her Friend: Hey! what are you doing? Remember what we said earlier? (wiggling eyebrows in a “you know what I mean”)

Oh dear lord, a pre-prep talk to watch over each other? On a PUB CRAWL?? Puhhlease!! 

Random Bar #2 – Free shot on entry. Got a $6 NZD Jagerbomb. Choice. Played some Strip Pool against a girl and I lost.. hard.

Strip Pool, halfway through

Bar 3: Altitude Bar – Double free shot on entry. Didn’t drink anything extra. There’s a dance pole right at the front of the dancefloor. Only a handful of people are dancing here and we just dance and do poses. This place wasn’t very busy as I thought it would be. Then again its a weekday. Top 40 here.

Bar 4: The Buffalo – A shot on entry. Can’t remember if it was double. Getting pretty sloshy and friendly. This place pretty much was the only consistent place that delivered some form of crowd and top 40 music, every night. Probably the general recommendation for the backpacker in this town. It was a lot of dancing, but the dancefloor is only of a medium to small size, and it does get a little warm in here.

Bar 5: The World Bar – Yet another free drink, and the night ends here. Surprisingly there are more people here than at the Buffalo. The larger dancefloor space is much better, with a dedicated DJ booth as well. Earlier in the night there is usually a Live Band playing popular Top 40 tunes for people to dance to, but right now its House.

Arrivederci
I sustained a minor injury the other day and had to retire early. Boo hoo.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
For $20 and guaranteed 6 drinks and entry to all the clubs listed (All the clubs were free entry anyway) it’s choice. Do it.

Anyway, I asked a foreign backpacker where the place to be is at on a Thursday night. “The Rimming Bull”, he proclaims! I’m sure in proper English that meant “The Running Bull”, which is, coincidentally is across the street from where we rented our hotel. So much win! Let’s check it out!

Crowd 11:30PM

Thursdays @ The Running Bull, Riccarton, Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand

Assessment Time: 11:10PM – 12:45AM
Opening Hours: Open during the day as a restaurant / Grill – 12:45AM
Lockout: Unknown, but there was one a lockout at 12:30 when I checked
Address: 1 Riccarton Road, Riccatron, Christchurch City, Canterbury, New Zealand. Map: http://g.co/maps/njtg8
Venue Website: http://www.runningbull.co.nz
Event Website: http://www.facebook.com/TheRunningBullBar
Promoter Website: Self Promoted by the venue
Occurrence: Every Thursday. DJ events also available on Fridays and Saturdays here
Outside Line: 2 people in front but we were in within seconds. We had to use our passports to be accepted entry. The drivers licenses were not accepted. 
Dress Code / Door Policy: Boys are pretty casual, with a handful with collared shirts with jeans. Girls in most part did wear their going out dresses and heels for a dance here. It is encouraged for guys to wear collared shirts and to not smell like B.O, and for girls to wear dresses. (According to the facebook page anyway)
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: Free all night.
Guestlist: None
Inside: Walk into the bar / dining area where tables and stools are aplenty. Bar is at the back opposite wall. This are has about 4-8 tables. To your left are some lounge spaces for 10 or so people. On the right is the “dance room” is how it is best described. It really is just a walled off room from the rest of the bar, where you can walk in and suddenly you are in a rectangular box to hold maybe 100 or so people where there are lights and a podium.
Cloak Room: None
Bar Prices / Line: Didn’t drink.
Bathroom Facilities: Pretty clean.
Eviction Count: None spotted
DJs: Sole DJ tonight. No song repeats thank god.
Music Style: Mostly Top 40, RnB and probably after 12:15ish the reggae / some other esoteric music was put on. Total mood killer, but it was apparently approaching closing time so that was how it was done.
Crowd: A mix of Christchurch locals and backpackers such as Marty and I, with the Irishman and his friends as well. But definitely a majority would be locals. Ages varied but mostly we are dealing with a young crowd – teenagers, low 20′s.

Ratio: Pretty even ratio through the night and it held its ground.
Entertainment: No extra entertainment.
Atmosphere: In the room itself there was barely enough people to get “lost” in the crowd, but it was definitely dark enough to be able to dance on your own without having too many eyes look at you. The volume isn’t as loud as proper clubs so you were able to have a chat as well, but still you could dance on your own if needed. Surprisingly it was pretty damn warm in here though! A lot of times throughout the night I had to come out for a bit of a cool down and breather, so take it easy on the dancing would be my advice here. The bar is quite the oppposite where its bright and pretty friendly. It’s not hot either and there are TV screens around so you can catch up on the latest Cricket scores. If you don’t like cricket, then suck it up. It’s bustling at the bar and people are pretty open for a chat.

Arrivederci
Left at closing time, which was 12:45!! Holy shit, that was early. An abrupt ending.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
I would say this is more of a bar to have drinks and a good dance afterwards. It’s suited for anyone who wants to come for a drink or just dance, as the two areas are almost separated from each other, so you don’t get too disturbed by the loud music. If you aren’t into the modern day music or young crowd, it would be better to try Fox and the Ferret down a few blocks  (I don’t think there is much dancing there, just a live band with a small area to dance).

Police shut it down for an unknown reason. Patrons were pissed off, and I was a little upset as well as I had literally just got there when everyone started getting kicked out. It’s 11:30PM, in the middle of bloody Parramatta.. nowhere close to any club (The Albion has been done so many times now).

Hopped back into the car. Considered going home, but I verbally assaulted myself into driving out towards the bright lights of the CBD, in the search for any decent place that was open…

Sunday Night Nightclub Search: (over the course of 1 hour):
Star Bar: No DJ nor people. Dead.
3 Wise Monkeys: Wildcatz Rock band night – no dance music. Dead.
Cheers: Dead with a population of 20. Dead.
Scubar – closed. Dead.
Side Bar: Non-Dance night. Dead.
World Bar:  Two rooms but only about 15 people per room. 2 of those people were women. aka Dead.
Trademark Hotel: Closed. Dead.

The only places left that looked decent were Hugos, The Piano Room (from the outside), and Goldfish, which happened to have Groove Terminator as their guest DJ. Oh hell yeah, GT, a personal favourite of mine! Let’s do it.

Martini Club Sundays @ Goldfish Lounge, Kings Cross
Assessment Time: 1:00AM – 4:00AM
Opening Hours: 6PM – Late (Definitely past 5AM)
Lockout: Unknown, possibly none.
Address: 111 Darlinghurst Rd, Kings Cross (at the corner traffic light where the Coke sign is). Google Maps: http://g.co/maps/jjb8b
Venue Website: http://www.thegoldfish.com.au/kingscross
Promoter Website: Self promoted
Occurrence: Every Sunday night.
Outside Line: There was a group of 3 drunk guys trying to get in, and they were rejected. Other times that I checked, there was virtually little to no line.
Dress Code / Door Policy: Tonight is pretty easy going with the Dress Code. Hats are okay, casual attire is okay, and later in the night two ladies in heavy make up and costume were allowed in as well (angel wings, chainsaws, or something). More than half the guys tonight are wearing just t-shirts rather than collared shirts. Some singlets are spotted here as well. The girls are generally well dressed, but not all are glamarous, there are some just casually dressed women here.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: Free all night.
Guestlist: N/A
Inside: Walk inside to open up the back area of the bar. To the left are lounges for 3-4 small groups of people. to the right are tables, stools. Further up left is the outdoor smoking area which remains behind the mesh-like wall facing the pathway. Right in the middle of this back room area is the bar, which is manned by 4 or 5 staff members at a time. On the far right are 2 areas for lounges. In the front room area is the dancefloor area. This is almost a circular like area where there are lounges lining the walls and disco balls dotting the ceiling. Actual dancefloor room could hold 25 comfortably upto about 40 people. A small elevated podium exists for the band to play later is cleared out to make room for a dancing podium for the patrons (it could hold about 8 people). Behind the podium sits the DJ set in the corner of the room.

Cloak Room: None
Bar Prices / Line: $9 for a GT (Gin and Tonic, get it?… GT?… Pah.)
Bathroom Facilities: Still the same as before. It’s a unisex bathroom! But before you get ANY ideas – the unisex bathroom is manned by a staff member to make sure you don’t get upto any hanky panky, as well as ensuring that you women don’t get raped or something. The hand washing thing with a foot pedal is still awesome, and easy to use. There is even a waiting lounge chair in the corner while you wait for your friend to finish doing his number 1, 2 or 3.
Eviction Count: None. Most people were quite well behaved.
DJs: Groove Terminator, aka one half of Tonite Only was the main act tonight (1:40AM – 3:40AM). Martini Club, There was also another DJ after (3:40AM onwards) Groove Terminator finished, but no idea what his name was.
Music Style: Martini Club set: (early in the night – 1:30AM) The resident band were playing live versions of popular Top 40 music – with the lead singer most of the lyrics, backed up with a drummer, guitarists, and DJ’s behind. The crowd always love this live version of music. Groove Terminator (1:40AM – 3:40AM): GT played an Old School set – which pretty much gave him the excuse to play all of Tonite Only’s hits (which I bloody love), as well as their remixes and anything else with their name stamped on it. Also some other classic commerical House music songs were thrown in as well.
Crowd: A mix of backpackers and local people. Keep in mind as well that tonight is Sunday, so there would easily be a higher ratio of backpackers who don’t work to locals who do have to work. The backpackers are less rowdy than that of classical bars such as World Bar, but there was some douche who thought it would be nice to smoke inside. Piss that smoke off away from my clothes and hair. Ages varied wildly here from young 20 year olds to 40++ year olds. Around 30% I’d say of the people here were over 30.
Ratio: Upon entering, the ratio was about 2:1 and it got worse at around 3AM to 3:1 Guys to girls.
Entertainment: No extra entertainment. The main act tonight was GT
Atmosphere: The floor was always busy but not packed where you were squished – everyone had a little room to dance. It’s quite dark as well in here and often due to the small area and overhead, it could get warm quite quickly if you were dancing heaps.

Timeline
Too romantic
It’s only midnight and the vibe is pretty good… for couples. FML At one point I was surrounded on all four sides by a couple dancing away, making out… you know, doing coupley things. Just gross out. Well, I was a little jealous but seriously, yuck.

The Indian Mac
Well, I’m not sure if he was Indian or Sri Lankan, but there was a guy who just stood there and macked on all the girls. He had the cojones, but not quite the charm. Especially when he was sweating profusely. However the important bit was he had cojones. Respect. I don’t think he understood what the word “no” meant.

Arrivederci

Left soon after GT finished the set.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation
Not a place for real clubbing, but a pretty nice place to bring your partner or a small group of friends, if you aren’t really into the doof doof and want more of a lounge setting with a side dancefloor to go with it.

Martini Club (Sunday Nights) @ Goldfish Lounge, Kings Cross Sydney: (For the chilled out type) – 7/10

[I was originally not planning to write a review and so no photos/videos were taken as I was pretty tipsy. I have no idea how I managed to get in. Then I just literally decided just now to write a review up at the end of the night, for record keeping sake... so it's just a quickie]

Quickie: Taboo @ Civic Hotel (Level 1 Rooftop), Sydney 
Assessment Time: ~1:30 – 4:00AM
Opening Hours: Unknown – 4:00AM
Lockout: Unknown
Address: Level 1, 388 Pitt Street (Corner Goulburn Street), Sydney.
Venue Website: http://www.civichotel.com.au
Promoter Event Page: https://www.facebook.com/TabooSaturdays
Occurrence: Every Saturday night.
Outside Line: There was a line of about 12 guys and 1 girl upon entry. Keep in mind that this line is combined for both the Taboo event upstairs and “The Clinic” separate event happening downstairs. Took about 5 minutes before we got in.
Dress Code / Door Policy: Pretty okay door policay. I had my mini afro-wig on. Most people wore smart casual. Girls wore dresses and looked their best here. hats are also allowed here. Saw some gentlemen with hats.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: $25 is the full cover charge. Apparently guestlists were still valid at this time, but I wasn’t acknowledged as on being the guestlist. I be sad.
Guestlist: taboo.saturdays@gmail.com
Inside: Just the upper level of Civic Hotel is used on a regular night.
Cloak Room: None.
Bar Prices / Line: Didn’t drink tonight, I already had pre-Christmas party drinks. Drinking four nights in a row isn’t good for me at all.
Bathroom Facilities: Not utilised.
Eviction Count: None spotted.
DJs: Unknown
Music Style: Mostly RnB, Top 40.
Crowd: Pretty much all Asian here, with less than a handful of Caucasians here. Ages ranged from 18 year olds to 30+ year olds I met. You can’t tell what is what anymore when you look at the Asian genes of youth.

Ratio: Ratio was expected to be more guys than girls at this time, seeing that most of the girls would have gone home by now. It was approximately 70:30. I’m sure the ratio was better earlier in the night.
Entertainment: An MC was here. Photographer.
Atmosphere: It was a good turnout for this small venue. The floor wasn’t too packed, but may have been even worse earlier. However half the lounges were not populated with people. You could get a seat anytime. Most people who are dancing are right close up to the DJ in the corner, while everyone else be chilling or standing around not doing much at all. At least 100 or so people were here.

Timeline
I was pretty tipsy from the Christmas party beforehand and pretty much chatting to every girl I could see. Grinded a few, what’s new. Then i ran out of girls and started talking to all the guys. For the final 30 minutes, all the dancing girls had left, and me and some guy friends were just grinding each other instead.

I met a reader as well as part of my world talking tour. Fun times. Had a bit of a dance too.

Met some friends as well, it was quite the night actually. Going out is always more fun when you have friends around you. Always have friends guys, always have them.

Hmm… that’s about it. OK, there’s more, but I shouldn’t write about it here.

Arrivederci 

Left at closing time.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation

I can’t really say much, except that it’s quite a small dancing space, while more than 75% of the space is lounges or chill out areas. It’s good music though. Some girls were a bit cold though. Place could deal with more people/girls.

Too inebriated to give a rating.
