Cain has it all, from crowd, to decor, to music & atmosphere. It's crowd is very "saladesque", you have people from all social circles mingling. Depending on the night you go, expect slight changes in the crowd effected by who's promoting. Another reason Cain is great would be their staff, they're all great at what they do and have a smile on their face while doing it, and it has a reflection on the crowd inside which keeps them coming back. The music at this South African themed nightclub is usually a mix of house, hip-hop, mashups, and 80's hits. The door is not the toughest in the city but getting past the "safari" ropes can be a challenge as they are pretty selective. B & t need not apply, and groups of guys expect bottle minimums, girls dress your best and befriend a promoter for faster entry. As far as nightclubs in "club row" go, Cain reigns supreme and has been for four years running. Be sure to dress your best, arrive with an attractive group, and reserve a table for easier access.

Pros: Selective door policy, Great staff, Music

Cons: Doormen frequently overwhelmed by crowds
