Very Cool!

by meblondie at Citysearch

I took some friends to Venue who were in town from San Francisco and we all had a BLAST! We had no idea it was their Christmas In July party which was different and fun for everyone- the decor was awesome! We got bottle service and were given a gift with the table service - it was 6 glass snifters, a key chain and a set of cuff links. We all thought it was a great touch and a nice addition since we spent a lot of money! The service was a little slow but once we got our first bottle service set-up everything was smooth. I'd recommend this place to anyone - the DJ was also very good.

• Pros: Not the same oooold boring stuff!
• Cons: Crowded! I'm more of a lounge person

Ok Place, R U D E staff

by Ihearthouston at Citysearch

The place was nice with plenty of room to sit or dance and the drinks were very strong which is always a plus and the music was good. However, aside from the bartenders, the people working the inside of the place were just rude, one waitress (i guess that's what she was, she was delivering a bottle to a table) actually pushed me out of her way. She did say excuse me as she pushed me so i guess that made it ok in her mind??? The bouncers that were inside were rude as well. We were only there long enough to have a couple drinks, I couldn't believe how arrogant and rude the employees were. My husband and I will not be going back.

• Pros: Nice look
• Cons: Rude staff

Remniscent of Chicago Night Clubs

by Romansmadre at Citysearch

A friend and I went last night and had a FABULOUS time. Dress to impress and expect to spend some $$. We were warmly greeted by all of the friendly staff dressed in suits as we entered. The decor, lighting, and music are amazing! It was pretty slow until 11pm, but the cover is free on Saturdays before 10:30pm (It's $10 otherwise). The valet is also $10. At 11pm, they slide a huge door to the dance floor open and the DJ starts spinning (last night, one of the owners was the DJ for a little while just because he enjoys it so much). Then a live band who played a mix of house, techno, top 40s, and dance played for the rest of the evening.

There's plenty of comfortable seating strategically placed near the dance floor and in a separate lounge area, a small dance floor, and let me just say - incredibly huge, clean bathrooms. We also had to request that the bartender make our drinks less strong!--No complaints there! Venue is absolutely one of the nicest clubs in Houston.

• Pros: Music, staff, cleanliness, ambience, seating
• Cons: Expensive drinks
