WOULDNT GO BACK
by diablitaloca55
FIRST OF ALL LET ME START BY HAVING TO WAIT AN HOUR AND A HALF ON LINE TRYING TO GET IN AS IF THE PRESIDENT WAS IN THERE, SECOND OF ALL THE PLACE WAS OVER CROWDED. I HAVE TO SAY THEY PLAYED GOOD MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG BUT THE WOMEN UP IN THERE XMELLED SO BAD IVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT. THEN WHEN WE GET OUTSIDE AND DUDES TRYING TO HOLLAH AT MY GIRLS AND I THEY ASKED US WHERE WE WERE COMING FROM AND WE TOLD THEM EUGENES THEY WERE LIKE I'LL. I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT BUT I'LL NEVER GO BACK
- Pros: GOOD MUSIC
- Cons: NASTY CROWD

ELECTRIC AVENUE FRIDAYS / SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE ...EUGENES=THAT SH*T
by baddabing
I've been to Eugene's a total of 4 times and I haven't had a negative experience there. I went through a website to be on the guestlist each time and got in free before 12. The only issueI had on line were some rude partygoers who were starting arguements and pushing. The line is only long AFTER 12. The bouncers have never given me a problem. Coat check was fast and easy. Drinks were a bit pricey, But it's NYC, Thats expected. The DJ kept the hip-hop, r&b and dancehall poppin' all night. People were well dressed. However, there were a lot of women in there with attitudes which I can do without. Some people came dressed to pose for pictures, some came to dance. A lot of people talk about Eugene's like its some low class hood club, Its far from such. I would definitely recommend going before 12am on a Friday or Saturday and leaving your attitude at home. You'll definitely have a great time!
- Pros: Good Music, Great Ambience, Fabulous Time...
- Cons: Small dancefloor, Crowd can be a bit uptight at times, A little pricey

most demeaning and offensive treatment i've experienced on any continent
by piquantsiren
alright...to be fair, i never actually made it inside; so it could be decent once you get through the international-airport-style line...but my friends and i, all well-dressed attractive folks and ON THE GUEST LIST mind you, were so unbelievably offended by the way the bouncers handled not only ourselves but the other patrons that we couldn't bring ourselves to go in and instead left for another venue. first we were YELLED AT for stepping a few inches too far to one side of an imaginary line created by the bouncer in the first of the three line-sections required to enter the bar; we then were accused of "ruining HIS night" for not knowing about said imaginary line and being better skilled at the whole line-waiting thing. we get to the second of the three sections and a portion of our group (again, ON the guest list) is held back while the rest pass to the next level, and we are stuck there for 15 minutes while the 3 bouncers huff cigar smoke in our faces and gripe about all the people trying to get into the bar like our very existence is putting them out...time to find alternate employment? finally we progress to the last portion of the line, already deeply offended and soured on the whole experience, and while one bouncer is frisking another customer airport-style (arms spread, etc) a friend who is having her purse and personal items dug through by another employee is told that if she wants to enter the premises she'll have to relinquish her cigarettes, lighter, and pens and pencils also found in the bag. This was the last straw. being condescended and scolded like kindergarteners is one thing, but who wants to be in an establishment where it is assumed that the customers will use their writing utensils as weapons? again, i can't say that it's not a decent place once you're inside, but i for one will never find out because no incentives or apologies could ever persuade me to give another chance to a place that allows its customers to be treated this way.
- Pros: nada
- Cons: deplorable treatment of soon-to-be customers
