archangel325 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 My girlfriend and I attended the New Year's Eve party at the Social Club and we were quite disappointed when we got there. First and most tragic, they ran out of champagne an hour before the ball dropped. We had to bring in the new year with a iced down rum & coke. Secondly, there were no snacks to be seen. In fact, the only people we saw eating food was the staff. Adding more to the list of stuff not provided is party favors, when the ball dropped the bartender that gave me the flimsy cocktail threw a hand full of confetti in my face and then looked at me as if she granted one of my frigg'n wishes. Last, they sold way to many tickets and were not prepared for the crowd. It took us 20 minutes just to get across the dance floor, then 40 minutes for the coat check and finally 30 minutes to get upstairs. On a special night like this, one should not have to wait more than 15 minutes for anything. We really feel that we got totally ripped off (they did not provide what was offered and what we paid for) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danihawk Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I had pretty much the same experience at Lot 61, but I think it was even worse. First we had to wait about 45 minutes (that was supposed to be open bar time) to get inside. There was supposed to be top shelf open bar, food, champagne toast, etc. The reality was 5 bartenders for 500 people, and they informed me that the only drinks included in the open bar were beer, vodka, red wine and rum (and the vodka and rum were horrible). There was no food, and nothing even happened at midnight! The people that work there are the biggest assholes I've ever encountered...I almost got bounced for flipping out at a bartender and a bouncer, and I'm normally very nice and polite. It was just horrible...I would never go to a place like that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
