Bar Europa, Pavillion Hotel, Scruffy Murphys: Friday 12th February 2010
by James on Feb.12, 2010, under Bar Europa, Live Band, Pavillion, Pop, Rock, Scruffy Murphys
Tonight is PISSING down cats and dogs.. like pretty hard as hell, and nobody wants to come out. I want to go home but I get a call from Derelick.. I suppose I can stay out for a bit.. here we go!
Triple up Quickie: Fridays @ Bar Europa, Pavillion and Scruffy Murphys
Bar Europa
Dead as. Avoid on rainy nights as it was just us and another small group of asians, it was the birthday boy from 2 weeks ago at flow, TT.
0/10 tonight. Blame the rain and lack of promotion.
Pavillion Hotel
Danced with C tonight. Met some Japanese girls via dance, but some white guys were constantly cracking onto them. Disgusting.
3/10 tonight
Friday @ Scruffy Murphys
As we walk in we can smell the alcohol and the stench of backpackers. It’s hot and stinky. We head downstairs where some rnb is playing. We dance and impress everybody. All the guys are ogling at C – the quality of girls down here is questionable.
We go back upstairs later and dance for a bit. C is pulled into a dance circle and impresses all. When she tries to leave she is pulled back in and can’t escape for another half hour.
Not much on my side of things, tried to dance with some girls but they dont think i’m awesome enough.
We all leave at around 2:30. An early night as I have Good Vibrations tomorrow.
Scruffy Murphys 4/10 tonight

RnB superclub @ Tank – 13th November 2009
by James on Nov.13, 2009, under Pop, RnB, Tank
It’s been a while since I’ve properly been here for an entire night, so here we go!
RnB superclub @ Tank
Assessment Time: 11:30-2:30am
Website: http://www.rnbsuperclub.com
Address: 3 Bridge Lane, Sydney CBD, Sydney
Dress Code:
(Men) You must waer collared shirts, no dirty shoes, no sneakers (unless they are classy e.g. Lacoste), and no chucks. No bucks parties, no chucks, no large groups, no high proportion of men to women in the small groups. That’s from what I can remember from the guestlist terms of entry.
(women) Just turn up.
Entry Fee / Cover Charge: $20 on guestlist, $25 on the door otherwise
Guestlist: Send an email to info@platinum1.com.au. You are then rewarded with a FORM to sign. Yeah, a form! The form lists the complete guestlist rules above. You need to sign it and send it back. After that, there is still no guarantee that you will be allowed entry. But geez, what a hassle! This must be the only club that I’ve ever sent a guestlist to that has forced me to sign a waiver.
Inside: The RnB superclub nights have apparently died down!! So much so the upstairs room was closed. So tonight, only the main room and the back room den was open. I was a bit disappointed that its died down. The tight dress code is turning away many to go to other places
Cloak Room: $3 i think. Good value.
Bar: One bar for each room. Main room the wait can be upto 10 minutes. the back room you only have to wait up to 5 minutes.
Music: RnB obviously. Modern banging tracks. There may have been an lectro mashup.. Back room was old school rnb. Less loud as well in here.
Crowd: Mix of asians, indians, aussies, euros
Entertainment: No podium dancers. I think there was an MC
Atmosphere: Pretty pumping in the main room. Back room was more laid back, pretty quiet in comparison to the main room.

Fridays @ Kings Cross Hotel – 30th October 2009
by James on Oct.30, 2009, under Kings Cross Hotel, Pop
Fridays @ Kings Cross Hotel
Assessment Time: 12:00 – 12:15am
Location: 248 William St, Kings Cross
Website: www.kingscrosshotel.com.au
Inside & Music: Bottom level general area band/pop music/bar (small), Level 3 chillout (small), Level 4 RnB (medium), Level 5 Private Function.
Cover Charge: Only on Level 4 there was a $10 charge
Dress Code: Casual OK.
Atmosphere: Dead. See timeline below for details.
Crowd: White
Video:
If you managed to watch that whole video, you would have noticed the club was missing a little something to make it better. Can you guess what it is?? Can you? Why yes, my dear Watson. It’s missing people. Elementary.
Timeline
- Had to walk up the stairs to get to level 3
- Level three only had 2 people when we go there – the DJ and the bartender. NO PUNTERS WERE INSIDE.
- Walking up to level 4, there were about 5 people who somehow got sucked into coming here. So shithouse.
- When we reached level 4 – The DJ stopped playing music.
- When the DJ stopped playing, Martin makes his own music in his head and waltzies right in. “Shouldn’t we charge him?” one of the cash register guys say.
“No, we can’t charge him. We can only charge cover if the DJ is playing music.”
Recommendation
Let’s cut to the chase. Avoid this place for general dancing at all costs. This goes in the scrap alongside Golden Palace (GP always has drugs.. and violence to the level where police have to be called in). Drinks are ok here though, but that’s not why you’re on this website.
Kings Cross Hotel – Zero (0) out of however many marks you want. This place sucks.
