Editorial Review for Mansion – by Amy Abate
In Short
Greet the butler, step inside the foyer, sashay past the 20-foot fireplace and be transported back in time to a 1930s Hollywood mansion. The theme is completed with massive crystal chandeliers, Oriental rugs and glass-walled stairs. Upstairs, banquettes with built-in champagne buckets and cushions covered in Pucci fabric overlook throngs of dancing clubgoers getting down to house music on the massive main dance floor or hip-hop in the outer rooms. No mansion would be complete without a billiard table, and this is no exception, though the revelers standing behind the cue ball are more "Night at the Roxbury" than Gatsby-esque.
Hits: The sprawling space protects partiers from rubbing up against anyone they don't want to on the dance floor.
Misses: The French maid-outfitted cocktail waitresses and pedestal dancers seem out of place against the old school glam decor of the Grand Ballroom.

We were a group of 5 guys, and obviously we had to buy bottles to get in. We managed to convince the bouncers to get the $750 table and two bottles. Also, although we were 5 guys, we didn't face any drama at the door and had our cover charges comped. Inside, the first thing I noticed was how big the place is. There are two rooms: the big one is for house music and the smaller adjacent room is for hip hop music. Also, there were a lot of beautiful women. However, I found most of them less friendly and willing to dance compared to the women in other clubs I've been to. The house music also tends to go too slow when transitioning between songs, and I found myself losing a little rhythm. The main thing I liked was the immense size: I didn't encounter any of the elbow to elbow situations found in most other clubs. Altogether, I would recommend it, primarily due to the inexpensive price of bottle service we were able to obtain.
Pros: Beautiful women, prices (at least for us), size
Cons: Beautiful women were unfriendly

Wack club...the only club on club row (27th, although mansion is on 28th) that tries to charge cover...I am convinced that's because they never have enough people inside to make their money off of alcohol sales like most clubs. So I find myself spending 10-15 minutes trying to get in-once I tell them I don't pay cover they try to argue with me, but both times this has happened when they see that I am leaving they recant and give me a complimentry ticket (hey not trying tout my own horn but I'm a pretty good looking girl). There's never a line compared to other clubs except for one they've the illusion created themselves because once you get past inside is empty. I don't know what to say, the people at the door are disorganized and rude and inside the club the music and decor is okay but it is just not enough to compare to the other places I could be partying wihout the hassle.
Pros: nice decor inside, okay dj
Cons: cover charge, rude people at the door, no one inside, slow bottle service
