Clubbing with James Tran

Desperately looking for a club to hit for Christmas Eve, and a lot of clubs are not open.. except for Flow, who are holding a once off Thursday event… nice – so here we go!

Flow Fridays @ World Square Pub (WSP): Thursday 24th December 2009

Assessment Time: 11:30 – 3:30am
Website: http://www.flowfridays.com.au
Address: 680 George St Sydney (Formerly Equilibrium)
Dress Code: Casual / Smart Casual. Girls wore dresses, and most guys wore nice shoes with collared shirts.
Door Policy: Tight on the female/male ratio. Bring girls with you if you are a guy wanting to get in. Many a man hath been rejected from Flow for being alone or by grouping with his fellow man. This in turn helps with atmosphere
Guestlist: See website
Cover Charge / Entry Fee: $10 tonight for all patrons. Only for tonight, as there was less patronage on Christmas Eve/ Thursdays.
Inside: The Flow event is only held upstairs. It’s a small room for 200 or so people.
Cloak Room: None
Bar: $5 Gin and Tonics
DJ: Typical Asian RnB DJs on rotation
Music: RnB
Crowd: Entirely Asian.
Entertainment: Not even an MC tonight, so it was just the DJ holding the show together.

Atmosphere: Very dead in the beginning – usually its packed on Fridays, but it *is* christmas eve. Around midnight it still isn’t packed, but it is getting busy. At around 1am the place is definitely very packed now, which was pretty good.

[Nightclub]

Location – Equilibrium Hotel, Corner of George and Goulburn st.

http://www.equilibriumhotel.com.au/

Description – Bottom level is the bar level with lounges and a long bar with lots of beer on tap. Outdoors area for smoking. It looks modern and stylish. A DJ plays but the music is such that it is subdued and relaxing.. not for clubbing. A set of stairs leads you upstairs to the ‘Trust’ bar level, where a smaller room is presented.

Surrounding the centre floor are beds (!) made of leather with accompanying cushions. There is a small DJ area but in the centre stage is a slightly elevated area for bands to play.

[Event]

Cover Charge – Free

Music – House beats by DJ but sung by a live singer with accompanying bongo drummer. 9pm onwards

Crowd – Mixed, but not dodgy.

Atmosphere – Fun.. there was a bongo drummer !

[Leadup]

I was drinking with old workmates. Too lazy to find a club we went upstairs.

[Experiences]

Didn’t do much except dance with Sam most of the time (I have a thing for her). The DJ played some beat to a commercial house song and the singer would do her thing.. going through all the goodies. Everyone seemed to like it. They went through the songs quite quickly each time instead of playing the song in its entirety.

Shop closed up at midnight to kick us all out.

[Summary]

Go here for a cheap fun dance with a bongo flavour !
