Rude staff, bad parking, too expensive.

We went on a Saturday night. Parking was an absolute nightmare. If you're lucky enough to find a lot with some space, you'll pay at least $7 to park there. Short of that, expect to search forever and wind up parked far away in a dark alley or something. The line to get in was very long. My advice: If you come at all on Friday or Saturday, come early.

I came in contact primarily with 3 different members of staff: The bouncer, the girl who took our cover charge and the bartender. The bouncer wasn't terribly rude, but he was definitely being really short and impolite with us. Granted, that's okay for a bouncer, they're supposed to be no-nonsense and sort of intimidating. Okay. After we pass the bouncer, we walk inside to the register to pay our cover. The girl at the register is talking on her cell phone and is basically just ignoring us even as we're standing right in front of her waiting to pay. My girlfriend finally had to say, "Hello? Are you going to charge us?" The girl rolls her eyes and acts like it's a huge inconvenience just for her to do her job. After she took our money (we were each charged $20), my girlfriend tried to apologize for having to get her attention that way, but she wouldn't say anything back to us. She just sort of sat there, acting offended at us and looked away. Wow. If you're that miserable doing your job, maybe you should look for another one! The bartender was also really rude and cocky. It was difficult to get service from him. The first time I came up, he ignored me forever and then when someone else came up next to me, he passed me over to take their order first (I assume because they already had a tab, but still, rude). The drinks were expensive. $7 for what should be really basic, cheap mixed drinks (one shot of cheap vodka plus whatever) and $6 for beers. The prices might make sense if it were a really fancy, upscale club, but it's not. It's kind of dirty and while it's a fun place to hang out, it's just not a really nice, upscale place. The prices just aren't in line with the type of club it is.

Also (and I'm sure that I'm not mistaken about this) I payed for our first round with my credit card. I didn't open a tab, I just signed off on a $20 charge for two mixed drinks and a beer and took my card back. That was the -only- charge that should have appeared on my card other than a trip I made to the ATM. Well, the $20 charge is missing from my bank statement but in it's place is a charge for $50 instead. I'm sure someone reading this might think I just got confused or something, but I'm certain of this. I'm absolutely positive that I signed off on a $20 receipt and was charged $50 instead. I'm still trying to get in contact with management about this.

Anyway! Those are the major gripes. Other than that, the actual crowd was nice. Nice and attractive people (mostly aged 18 to mid 20s), great techno dancing, great DJs, good sound system. It would be a great experience if not for all of the problems I mentioned previously which sort of spoiled it for me.

• Pros: Good sound system, lots of hot girls in skimpy outfits.
• Cons: Staff is rude, parking is inadequate and prices are high.

Still Gets the Best DJs, but Starting to Get Greedy.

by mrmagicpants at Citysearch

I've seen some truly great DJs at this venue, and for that I don't complain about the grungy atmosphere and general lack of upkeep/style, but if LL is going to start forcing customers to pay for valets and higher drink prices on big show nights like they do at fancier nightclubs, they should be prepared for the customers' expectations of service/drink quality to rise accordingly.

• Pros: Some truly awesome international DJs.
• Cons: Trying to go too upscale, charging too much.
