Editorial Review for Purgatory – by Amanda Howe

In Short
Entry into this mega-club is through "Hell," a dark, pulsating dance floor laid out before a metal platform suspended above a basement bar dubbed the "The Pit." Less-devilish partiers mount the stairs to "Purgatory," resembling a VIP airport lounge with chrome, leather and blond-wood floors. "Heaven," the top floor, is a high-ceilinged white room with matching leather lounging furniture, a sizable rectangular bar, and a dance floor. A VIP area hovers over the dance floor.

Thursdays college night is so fun. its not like those other lounges where you have to be SUPER dressed up to get in, but the dress code still keeps the crowd a good looking group-. i saw alot of tackiness that got denied at the door. the promoters for this place are HOT and actually attend so its always fun when you have some eye-candy! (punn intended...the chick Kandy that advertises for it is way cute) and they actually interact with the crowd. drink specials are great! $1 shots in hell alllll night! may be why the hell crowd is a little dirtier.... but it gets better as you go up. the celeb guests have been great about taking pictures with fans and everything, the promoters are good about it too. my girlfriends and i go every thursday and are rarely disappointed. great great club and would definately recommend it. the new 2nd floor hooka lounge was a great touch and the DJ knows what hes doing. the top 3 floors are great, hell i stay out of unless its time for a SHOT :) im thrilled about summer time, a bunch of my girls are coming to Dallas for the summer and quite a few of them cant wait to check out Purgatory

Pros: music is great on all levels, valet guys were awesome, the "regulars" are hot

Cons: parking yourself is a bad idea. its cheaper but the guys in the parking lots are creepy and flirted with us. so we are kind of forced to valet...and 15$ is a bit much.

Lots of Ft. Worth dirty Mexicans. The only thing that can come from that is violence and crime. Do us all a favor and stick to that side of town. This place is very dirty and again stuffed full of dirty mexicans.

Pros: non

Cons: Lots of dirty mexicans. If your looking for an STD a mexican from there can give you one.
