Easily one of the best clubs in North America. A lot of the negative reviews clearly come from…read morepeople who didn't bother to read the simple rules that are posted in huge font in multiples places around the entrance and coat check.
The rules are straightforward:
1. No alcohol
2. No gum
3. No photos or videos
(... also the unofficial rule that the right side is the gay side and the left is the straight side by the end of the night. It's not an actual rule, but a cultural thing).
Complaints about it being alcohol-free, having gum taken away, or being told to put phones away miss the point entirely. Those are exactly the kinds of behaviors the club is trying to filter out, and it's part of what makes the experience what it is.
Don't go expecting a flashy or luxurious venue. There is no VIP area on purpose - everyone in the club is considered equal. The lighting is minimal, and the layout is simple... mostly a large seating area and a big dance floor. You're there for the sound system, which is arguably the best currently functioning club speaker system anywhere on the planet, and for the atmosphere, which is on another level.
There's a reason it consistently ranks among the favorite venues of top DJs worldwide.
