It’s been a while since I’ve properly been here for an entire night, so here we go!
RnB superclub @ Tank
Assessment Time: 11:30-2:30am
Website: http://www.rnbsuperclub.com
Address: 3 Bridge Lane, Sydney CBD, Sydney
Dress Code:
(Men) You must waer collared shirts, no dirty shoes, no sneakers (unless they are classy e.g. Lacoste), and no chucks. No bucks parties, no chucks, no large groups, no high proportion of men to women in the small groups. That’s from what I can remember from the guestlist terms of entry.
(women) Just turn up.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: $20 on guestlist, $25 on the door otherwise
Guestlist: Send an email to info@platinum1.com.au. You are then rewarded with a FORM to sign. Yeah, a form! The form lists the complete guestlist rules above. You need to sign it and send it back. After that, there is still no guarantee that you will be allowed entry. But geez, what a hassle! This must be the only club that I’ve ever sent a guestlist to that has forced me to sign a waiver.
Inside: The RnB superclub nights have apparently died down!! So much so the upstairs room was closed. So tonight, only the main room and the back room den was open. I was a bit disappointed that its died down. The tight dress code is turning away many to go to other places
Cloak Room: $3 i think. Good value.
Bar: One bar for each room. Main room the wait can be upto 10 minutes. the back room you only have to wait up to 5 minutes.
Music: RnB obviously. Modern banging tracks. There may have been an lectro mashup.. Back room was old school rnb. Less loud as well in here.
Crowd: Mix of asians, indians, aussies, euros
Entertainment: No podium dancers. I think there was an MC
Atmosphere: Pretty pumping in the main room. Back room was more laid back, pretty quiet in comparison to the main room.
Timeline
Party of 20 girls
I have invited a friend to meet up. She has managed to get her friend’s birthday crowd over. When she walks in she literally has about 20 girls with her and ZERO guys. I could have died right then and there. She was selfish enough to not introduce me to her friends so we had our own little dance session, lol. Oh well, one dance is better than none.
Nobody booked the special booth!
There’s a special booth in the back den, which has a queen sized bed and looks really ‘classical’, and it is a perfect place to do some photo whoring. So we jumped in, but of course, being me, I forget to bring my camera. So we just dance around the whole place. It’s quite a small reserved area but it’s probably not worth reserving if there was a cost attached to it. There was enough space to find an empty room to score for yourselves here. Yes, that’s right, its that dead in the back room tonight.
Hanging out with …….. Asian International Students (aka FOBs)
I dance with a girl. The problem was that it was only her third time clubbing in 12 months and she’s a FOB. I should have seen the signs when she was uber scared to go up on the podium. I spent the rest of the night (a good 2 or 3 hours) dancing with this girl, but she wouldn’t even grind. UGH. Furthermore she doesn’t drink, and it took me a good half hour to get her to stand up on the podium. At the end of this almighty effort, she did not even have a facebook to add her on. Disgusting.
Arrivederci
Designated Driver wants to leave, so we all go.
Recommendation:
A good venue to visit once in a while. Somehow it wasn’t as packed as it used to be, which is a shame, especially now that the top level room is closed, leaving 2 areas left. I would still say yes to checking out RNB superclub @ Tank, especially if you haven’t been before. I wouldn’t be sure if I would come here every Friday. however – there isn’t much else to go to in terms of RnB on a Friday.
