pod Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 Clubs on the beach can get a special permit anytime they want to to stay open till 7 AM. It's not a 'permanent' permit, it's a one time thing, i.e. in theory, Maze, crobar, Spin, or Level could stay open until 7 AM any time they wanted to, they just have to go to City Hall and pony up the fee for a special extension on their permits. 5 AM closing is still standard though, but I can see a 7 AM closing time becoming reality by late 2003 hopefully. I think Maze may put the hurt on all clubs as far as alcohol sales are concerned..Bud Light is $4.00, Corona is $5.00, mixed drinks are no more than $7 or $8. Maze also posts their pricing for drinks near each bar, to combat fraud...i.e. a bartender can't overcharge you arbitrarily. So, a strict pricing policy, and lower drink prices will get people to go certainly. Apparently, Maze had a helluva crowd this morning though for their circuit party event, something on the order of 1,200-1,400 people showed up....The trick is, getting a mixed crowd to go there on Fridays, because people will start to say Maze in the same breath as Twist or Score....

Seems they took of the saleens' complaints and made sure they won't happen there. Only thing is the 20 bones at the door. I'm a 10 dollar clubber, 20 is tough, but if you work out the math with the drinks it kinda works out. But i'll tell you this maze probably has started a price war with drinks. And since at spin you need 4 forms of id, and a secret password to get the local drinks, that i've never seen, i'm glad maze is a no BS type of place...oh i forgot, no stephan at the door,,,, woooooohooooooooooothough he has improoved of late..I was chatting with my roomies today after i wrote the reviews, and I think I kinda down played it a little too much, the place is a breath of fresh air, and the way they treated us was great. Not sure who they were but some club folk, maybe big wigs, came up and said hello. I was kinda taken back. Mazegirl was oh so nice and the how u doings and thank yous were every where...lets hope they treat us the same way if the people start pouring in...

Really?? .....anytime they want???? .....You mean that for example......Crobar the day of Sasha could had bought a permitt to extend his set 'til 7 am??? WTF are they thinking then:mad: ........how much could this permitt be??......could cooljunkie educate us thru your contacts???......Pleeeeeeeeease!!!..........I was under the understanding the 7 am thing was only on long weekends/special holidays.......**********************************************I think Maze may put the hurt on all clubs as far as alcohol sales are concerned..Bud Light is $4.00, Corona is $5.00, mixed drinks are no more than $7 or $8.

pod Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 The permits are for weekends only...Sasha came on a Monday, he woulda had to call it at 5 AM regardless...The permits must not be cost-effective for a club unless there's a special reason...i.e. if they're open 2 more hours, thats a few more bucks the club has to dish out for cops, security, DJs, bartenders, electricity, etc...i.e. they expect a return on their permit...

I'm starting to think clubs down here need to hire a Financial Analyst to run their operation.........Forget Sasha.......I know he came Monday........lets say Timo Maas....for the 800+ days of Crobar........the place was packed.....flying packed.......Everyone knew they would close at 5 am.........so most clubbers by 4:33 (I'm being sarcastically exact now) bought their last drink...'cause 22 minutes later......back to reality on Washington Ave........Now.......had the club been open 'til 7 am........no earlier that 6 am would people stopped drinking........adding all the costs you mentioned........I can't see 1 1/2 more hours of solid sales at the bar couldn't outweight their expenses.......that's like 50% the peak time of most clubs down here (1:30 - 4:30)The promotional impact of having the club close at 7 am......adding a top flight DJ.......would increase the number of goers......funnel in some of the people partying at other clubs in SOBE......IMO.......7 am would hold most of the people that go past 5 am to downtown.........It's tough for me to believe this permitt can be bought and that not once it has been used..........are you sure??

pod Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 It's a 'special event' permit, it can only be used on the date in question. There's no general extension permit on the beach as of right now. You can open again at 8 AM, but no club on the beach outside of the gay community has been able to pull that one off in recent history.
