The good things: It's big and very open The bass hits you when you walk in the door (though they could use more) the layout is interesting (this is both good and bad) there is a second floor that overlooks the dancefloor decent dancefloor light system nice big windows up front central downtown location - on busline and right next to new light rail system being built - more parking available than any other club in the city $5 to get in The bad: First of all - it's a converted McDonald's restaurant (I swear I went home with the smell of cigarettes and french fries in my clothes). They've left the original stone tile floor for the entire place - including the dance floor. No defined dance space - meaning you walk right into this big open space as soon as you walk into the building. Very cold atmosphere - all the stone tile on walls and floor. Brass rails. green plants. way too bright - you can see people all the way across the room - no dark corners only one place to lounge - in a corner upstairs and only enough for 2, maybe 3 people 2 pool tables with those billiard room lamps (green shades and more brass) the ugly: the Dj booth was under the stairs around the corner from the dancefloor - impossible to monitor what is going on trance and progressive house and no techno - one decent house tune the entire night I'm curious about places that make it to your personal list of good or bad clubs - not the music so much but the actual physical space what is it about the club?
