User Reviews for Purgatory

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I love this club. The first floor can be VERY crowded and usually only plays rap. The second floor is usually pretty empty and plays a lot of techno type stuff. The third floor is where I normally stay. There's usually still room to dance, and the edges stay a lot less crowded than the main part of the floor. I've never had a hard time getting a drink. Line usually moves fast, and if you don't want to wait in line go to accessdallas in order to get on the guest list!

Pros: Huge variety of people, music, atmosphere

Cons: the cops waiting outside once it closes :)

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.

What's up w/ the little bouncer...he is what they say suffers "little man syndrome"... They let all sort of people in, one freak in particular...he looks like Pedro from "Napoleon Dynamite"... he acts like he grinding on the female and then he pick pockets them. What's all that about, we ain't in no 3rd world country. He did it to my friend, we confront the a@#$%!@ and let the security/bouncer know...they talking about he's a regular and lets him go. If I see this a@#$%!@ again outside the club, I'm going to hurt him. This club sucks..will not ever go back, even if they pay me too. No recommendation from me...unless your a scank, h!%, or a little a$$ bitch!!:P

Pros: None

Cons: Security/bouncer don't do anything

Purgatory was my first club experience, and my friends and I stayed in heaven the whole time... it was the only place that wasn't disgusting. Each floor was ridiculously crowded, especially on Thursday nights. While Thursday night.."college night" isn't so bad as far as creepers go....Saturdays are terrible. Trashy people everywhere. Also, the advertisement s are usually misleading, saying that ladies are free until such and such time and then charging you 15 dollars at the door with some excuse. Wouldn't recommend.

Pros: ehh

Cons: trashiness, misleading ads, so ridiculously crowded.

TERRIBLE, DON'T GO!!!!!!!!!! THE WORST CLUB EXPERIENCE, I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A CLUB AND COULD'T GET A DRINK, WE BOUGHT TICKETS AHEAD OF TIME FOR A NEW YEARS EVE THING THE YEAR BEFORE LAST, AND HAD TO STAND OUT SIDE WHILE THEY LET IN TEENEY BOPPERS, WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT HOME, AND THEY DID NOT EVEN HAVE TICKETS LIKE ME AND ALL THE OTHER GUEST IN THE LINE. BAD MANAGMENT!

Pros: NON

Cons: EVERYTHING

When i went i personally had a great time . People are saying that they saw trashy people and yada yada but everyone looked great to me there were a select few that were a little tasteless but its a club of course there are going to be trashy people there. Heaven and Purgatory looked very nice, hell on the other hand not so much. It started randomly flooding in hell that was akward but overall My friends and i had a fantastic time.

Pros: I loved the music

Cons: It was really really crowded

Looks like some competitor of this club is posting the same thing over and over again below. They keep saying it is trashy etc. which is simply false. You will find different crowds depending on the nights you go. Thursday is college night. Friday is latin night with reggaeton music. Saturday is general dance night. This club has an international flavor and very nice inside. This is just what Dallas needs.
