Review:

I don't want to colour expectations too much, but if you are planning to visit Chinese Laundry, expect to get pretty trashy. Stashed away under the Slip Inn, this club has the feel of a dungeon . . . in a good way. The low ceilings and general density of the crowd make this a good choice if you're feeling dancey and there are a handful of rooms to circulate in, along with access to the courtyard between Slip Inn and Chinese Laundry. As you might expect, it is incredibly loud and this is not a bad thing at all. You're not here for conversation and bons mots.

Obvious warning to everyone is the popularity of this venue, resulting in long lines, and the at-times exorbitant cover charge. I have seen my fair share of people turn away, annoyed by either the wait or the cost. You can beat this by getting in early (generally before 10pm) although empty clubs are always sad. Probably better to be carrying at least $50 on you for entry and your first one or two rounds. Drinks are expensive too, probably due to the influence of drugs in this scene. The club is probably more suited for an 18 year old crowd, so if you’re looking for a more relaxed place to spend your Saturday night I'd be looking elsewhere.
