Warning!!! Avoid Saturday Nights!!!!
3 Star Rating: Average

03/18/2008 Posted by Farahm05

I went to the club part called the Village Underground for my friend's birthday party. We had a VIP section reserved and THANK GOD we did!!! The place is jam packed Saturday nights - and I mean packed to a point where people would not stop coming. There was barely any space to dance. I dont think there was any form of ventilation because there was a haze created from people's sweat alone not to mention their breath. Warning to females wearing high heels to clubs who are use to taking their shoes off while dancing!!! We had a bouncer standing on a sofa watching over us the whole time, making sure no one takes their shoes off...EVER!!! Apparently it's a health hazard - who knew...but it's not a health hazard to pack a room with an occupancy limit of 300 people with 600!!! I mean come on!!! The music was alright - i have heard better but it was a good mix of everything. However, I would not recommend this place for Saturday nights. There are a lot better places in the city to have a great time and great music without having to deal with bouncers not letting you take off your shoes for a minute or the rude people who do not let you pass to go to the bathroom!!! My advice - if you do go keep your elbows up so you can have just a little bit of space for yourself...

Pros: Our waitress Ashley was awesome!!!

Cons: bouncers are ridiculous!!!

Response from this business

We don't want you to cut your feet!

We don't have a waitress Ashley, so perhaps this all a mistake, but asking people to keep their shoes on is something we (and any responsible place) does for YOUR safety. In a crowded public place, there are almost always things on the floor that can cut you. Glasses are dropped and broken at least 20 times a night. Shards get in the carpet and can slice your feet open. My goodness! I know how people crowd eachother on a dance floor. At a certain hour, the tables kind of empty out and the floor gets tight, although it seems like it was the shoes thing which really bothered you. Please email me at owner@fbpc.com, I'm happy to discuss this with you personally.
