Review: This club is not as exclusive and as hard to get into as they want you to think, yet its a great club non-the-less. Go on friday night, as the door on saturday night is alot harder to walk through, yet the venue is still just as fun on friday as it is on saturday. There is no guestlist that you can just sign up on the web, BUT there is a Promoter’s list. So call ahead, find out who’s promoting, gather some info and get there earlier than later. Then talk to the door guys, use your head, BS a bit, and you’re IN!

Once inside, you’ll enjoy the beautiful people, the good music, and the guy to girl ratio that will make you appreciate the the bouncers’ efforts to keep the “guys only” parties out.

The bartenders and the waitresses are rude, in fact probably the nicest guy in the whole place is the men’s restroom attendant, but unless you are paying for bottle/table service, who cares. You dont come to AREA for the service, atleast I dont. I come to get f*cked up, dance and meet people.

The drinks are expensive and sometimes watered down, so if you dont want to spend a fortune on drinks, use your head(again), and go make friends with people that are getting bottle service and in 10 minutes they will literally be pouring Grey Goose down your throat.

Bottom Line: The velvet rope can be a hurdle, and you will most likely freeze your ass off, go home angry and bitch about it on citysearch the next morning, if you are shy and have the “ill just be patient and wait in line” attitude… But if you are outgoing and can BS your way inside you will have a great night, we do it atleast twice a month
