The ones that held 800 - 1000. Centro-Fly & Arc were the perfect size imo... Small enough to get that intimate feel, yet big enough to give you a true club feeling...

phatman Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 BINGO...i agree as well........but how many venues like that still exist in nyc?......idk.......i'm all about my mood.....lately it's just smaller venues but it depends on mood, who's going, and what chemical if any will be entering my system for the evening....

stymie Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 Hmmm... I only went to Centro once, on NYE last year after we went to Spirit. I thought the place sucked, maybe thats cuz the music was so bad.. Perry Ferril. They had Zygo open bar for an hour in the AM tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stymie Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 Yeah I dunno man, I thought the actual club itself was a pit.

dgmodel Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 BINGOsame here... too small alway crowded, too big very corporate and filled with bs, midsized is ideal... always enough room, and carry enough clout to have good dj's from time to time...

az-tec Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 werdI used to be all about the big parties...after running Centro Thursday, Spirit for a while til it went Cheese, and all my other projects...I am done with the big clubs.Ill still go from time to time, but it has pretty much lost its luster to me, the only reason I will go is to hear some of my favorite djs and the music.Maybe im gettin older? I dunno...as far as throwing parties goes I have done the big spots and had a fuckin blast, but now I am much happier at the smaller, intimate spots. You dont have to be with 2000 other people, crowded, sweaty...u can be with 300 or so others, hear incredible music, interact with the dj, sit down if need be, come and go etc...much more my style now...thats why im so excited about Cellar Bar...its small(about 200-250 ppl tops), absolutely ridiculously gorgeous, free, we got a brand new insane custom built dj booth, more sound, the hottest wait staff I have ever seen(all the bartenders and waitresses look like they stepped out of Playboy), and so much more...place might be a little on the expensive side(pricey, BUT HUGE drinks) but its worth it...when you are in there you feel like it is something special.and the djs we are booking...oh boy.LES, Carl Kennedy, John Creamer and Stephane K, Serge Devant, Roland(Space Miami Terrace resident), Lottie, Mutiny, Astro&Glyde and a major dj from Spain comin soon plus many more...guess u can see im excited about this new project well u got my answer to your question....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumpdaddy Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 big venues in winter ... small venues in summer..... Owners of big venues always turn off the air conditioning around 1-2 AM in huge venues to save money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
