Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

What I was trying to say was even though I'm not a huge fan of dress code (never really was but I don't dress like a bum either) that I cannot at all whatsoever picture this club open until NOON 12pm. Especially without a liquor license and people dancing there on chems (because the majority of the people there will have to be to be up that late for them to be able to survive the night). Can any of you picture a place Guv sized or larger venue open until the afternoon the next day with "stylish", "sexy" people there to have a good time, without liquor?(Film is entirely different as it is a small lounge type of club and has liquor and a "style" code similar to Guv I believe). Also, just something I noticed, if the point of dress code is to "weed out those undesireables" presumably those that do drugs and cause ruckus and get all cracked out etc then why have a club that's open until 12pm noon and have dress code to begin with? If they do manage to open it I doubt the club will be packed with people considering they have dress code and no alcohol for the night. Besides, "classy" people I don't think tend to stay up until 12pm the next day and party like that. They go to Sequel in Yorkville or Money or Inside and leave at 2:30/3am and go home.

So what type of dress code are you guys all supporting?

Are we talking 2 piece suit w/ Tie?

There are infinite levels of dress codes.

I'm sure if I made all you wear tuxedos then you'd bitch and whine like a bunch of union members..

So - propose something....

oh yea? gimme a good reason y 'ala-malek'!

as for the dress code: in my mind i have fabric in london or ibiza >trendy, hip, cool crowd ... that is still allowed to wear sneakers and jeans but with combo of sexiness and some class!

Rj, I'd say Khakis are acceptable. I vote for the Guv style code...
I'm also happy wearing jeans and a decent t shirt. As for being trendy/london/ibiza style like Silke suggested (I think that's your name right?) I won't mind that, as long as it's not uber selective, ie only a certain type of crowd lookswise can hang out there. I'm not a huge fan of that.

I'm on the dresscode bandwagon.

Just to spicen it up even more. Add another demension to making this club different.

In particular, SHOES and JEANS. Just to classy the place up. Don't worry we can still wear our party shit for the GUV or KH parties. But I think we've grown up enough now that we can do it up properly. Non?

dress code = the best

reason:

while people spend time getting dressed up for a night of fun after a long week of work/school where they cant really wear club clothing, others in that club dress like bums and just ruin it...

im down with dress code

Can I just ask a question? All those in favour of dress code, what kind of clothing are you in favour of wearing while going out to those types of clubs? Dress pants/dress shirts/skirts? Because all the clubs w dress code that I have ever seen have that and unless you're wearing anything but you will have a really hard time getting in...
I also think it boils down to comfort. If you are comfortable going out and wearing the appropriate clothing for a club with dress code and be able to dance, have a good time, sweat it out, going mental in a club then more power to you. I for one aren't really the type to. Although I have done it.

dood..if u wear really decent jeans taht dont sag and crap, u can get in as well

its all about the style, not the type of clothing

Not from what I've seen Liam. I went to Palazzo for the TA thing and the only way we got in was because there was a group of 6 or so of us(I was wearing dark black jeans that looked not casual at all, stylish etc). Even then the bouncer said "Next time no jeans". I think it boils down to either you have a strict dress code or you don't. Only place that has a middle ground is Guv.

haha after hours with dress code...my ass
but seriously if this is on a sat..itll have to be something real special to get me to come instead of go to the guv or even systems. I dont get swayed easily. If its on a Friday, its still gonna have to be real good to get me not to go to System. The fact that its open till 1 is a good start....

interesteing..ill keep my eye on this for sure...
and damnit i was hoping to see sander k @ system.

as for dress code..
i dont like it....why cuz i dont stand around and make idle chatter at clubs... i mean sure meet new people and make new friends and shit...but when good music is playing i will be 10 times outta 10 dancing my ass off infront of the DJ booth. Dress code means blisters the next morning unless i have like expensive shoes that look good and are still comfy. Gimme a tshirt, jeans and sneakers man. only thing im comfortable in. Big reason why i havent gone to lotus yet. (woudla gone for digweed but was out of town).


thats just me tho
to everyone their own.

I still can't see a club open until noon with a dress code NOT serving alcohol... what kind of crowd is this going to attract then? Stylish gino crowd that likes to party until noon the next day? Ya right...

Down with the dress code! Gotta be all thugged out when you walk in there! Head to toe, it's all about Akademiks!!!

J/K

Good to see a club like this open up in TO. I hope it's not going to be Zone #2

If they throw one party and then kick it up with Sander K, I think they're on the map..
And why is stylish dresscode a problem? I'm not saying a suit and a tie, that would be boring.. and certainly a minimal amount of people wearing suits & ties stay out til noon (excluding those visiting Brass Rail).. but some stylish warderobe, jeans allowed maybe, would at least separate it from the Zone and the crowd that frequents it.
It is possible. Moscow clubs are very stylish & dressy, and the crowd is easygoing and they party.

I'm all for dress codes (minus suit), except I hate it when the clubs don't allow runners. I certainly have nicer shoes, but I can't dance in them. Isn't this problem 10 times worse for women with the high heels and shit?

I've seen girls in the most uncomfortable looking shoes dancing it up like no tommorow.. talk about high pain threshold!

why dont they just open at 2? and have headliners go from like 3-6?

This place is merely another Comfort Zone, or Metropolis, or Film...

Places I like, but we have more than enough of.

I'm curious as to why you guys think the dress code is such a "great thing". I certainly dress well, and it sounds like they'd give me a hard time for my baggy pants and sketchers.

Using Film Lounge as the popular comparison, the atmosphere is anal retentive, the music terribly down-beat, and the drug abuse worse than most clubs since it's where the G-Monkeys congregate (I've seen crack being done @ Film) This place is only going to attract a select group of partiers, which already seem to be well covered.

Musically I don't know who localy they are getting, but again using film as and example, you Dekoze and Addy fans would cry @ the terribly pedestrian sets they lay down @ Film... since it is a lounge where the pretty and financialy privelaged get exceptionally fucked up.

Overall I wish the best, but already blocking out a good portion of the hardcore scene with the dress-code doesn't quite seem like decent business sense, and I as a punter am thankfull for the advance warning to avoid the dump.

while I'd agree that this has the potential to become another CoZo or Film, I'd like to hope that that's not the intention. There has been a need for a Toronto equivalent of a Stereo/Aria/Sona(rip) for a long time (really ever since Industry closed); it's a crowd that loves to party until well into the next day, but would never be caught dead in a place like the Zone. There's actually quite a difference in the demographics of these groups....I'm not yet convinced that that's actually what this new place will be going for, but I'd like to hope it is.

Not really. Many of us have life in heels down to a fine art - you men need to get your shit together. Women have no sympathy for your dress code whining! Your shoes are FLAT! How difficult can it be?!

Fuck the dress code!!

People are going out to have a party, not for a bad trip ceremony!!

FYI, most of the Industry crowd were Comfort Zone/Exit/Spin Cat/Space regulars as well. And the ppl that made Industry severely shite (this is a personal memory from an Ascension@Industry) were the models and suits that just stood there, drink in hand, wondering what the fuck this beeping music is... they seriously looked like one of the window displays from the Bay.

Not to mention this place is opening after or around 2am, so just as the headliner @ the other clubs is hitting their stride, they expect a flock of ppl?? Uhh-huh....

Aside from the thugs there, the people you described here make up the majority of the Comfort Zone crowd.. it's funny people piss on the zone, but it's not the clothes that make the dirty partier, it's the volume of drug consumption, which knows no fashion boundaries, and those that can afford the 2 or 3 nights straight are those with the $$$ and the nicer clothes. Take a look @ the Zone lineup between 7am and 10 am on a Sat or Sun morning, looks like a fashion show @ times, except you are watching last night's model and perdy ppl come down in a bad, gray skinned way lol

I think this club will do well if they are looking to cater to more of a stylish/dressed up crowd (dont know if that is what they in fact are tying to do, I hope they are). I cant count the number of people that I know (GIRLS in particular GIRLS in particular GIRLS in particular) that WONT SET FOOT in a place like GUV (especially on a regular night, not so much for special events) or System Just because the crowd there is so dirty and gross. That crowd is also a little bit older (grown up as Halo 20 put it) and used to party at GUV/Industry way back when. GUV was a good place to party 3-4 years ago but that place has just degenerated into god knows what. Anyone that was going to that place back then will almost assuredly agree with me. There are alot of partiers in TO that want to party with dressed up stylish people and listen to good house music, there just arent that many places where you can do that in Toronto which is why I could TOTALLY see this new club working.

That's described a good 3/4 of the hardcore drugs afterhours scene lmao.

Gino-HB heads is all that you'd really find @ a place like that, or gang-bangers dealing, which was the reason Spin Cat closed down. (security refused entry to a local crack dealer who was a regular and he returned and shot up the place, killing @ least 1 staff member)

Yonge St afterhours is SUPER sketch, anyone partying around 2000 around here remembers all the club deaths we had back then, due to guns and overdoses... *shudder
