Ok, i have been there about 5 times. It is an average club. The sound is ok, the lighting is not special. The people that go there 99.9% are just looking for some ass. I dont know what people see that is soo special about it. Every one asks why these big djs like to spin at arc and roxy, instead of avalon and crobar. Ive never been to crobar. But avalon has a shitty croud, it wouldnt be my top choice for djs to spin there. What are your opinions...

I think you might be too young to remember Limelight
That is what makes it special to many ppl.
It certainly seems to be unique as a venue, being in a former church

i only been to avalon once so far when ferry was there in nov and back then it took me forever to get in, you had to come with girls or buy bottles and all that bullshit and about 70% of the crowd was a "look at me" kinda crowd very trendy and would look at u and what you were wearin when you walked by very uncomfortable i feel.
people told me the crowd has changed its a more musically inclined crowd so i hope it is
but i agree id rather go to arc or roxy where made events is doing the party and not have to worry about a guestlist,table service or bring girls to get in
i dont go to clubs to be social and check out the scene lol sorry thats not me i go for music to dance and chill with some trance addicts

Ive only been to Avalon once for Sasha on NYE and I had a blast. Sasha threw down what people will say "one of his sickest sets ever." This saturday will be my second time @ Avalon. I like clubs that have dress codes cause that usually keeps the scum away. Don't get me wrong, im all about the music and a good time but a bummy ass t-shirt, crappy jeans, and tennis shoes imo is not the appropriate 'club gear' if you wanna put it that way. I didn't have a problem with the crowd @ Avalon even though about three people came up to me and asked me who was spinning lol. They were all nice and polite. You guys should come to Pittsburgh and hit up some of the Hip Hop clubs where you look at somebody wrong and the next thing you know, your in a fight against 15 frat brother.

Where the DJ's play probably has more to do with the relationship between them (and/or their mgmt) and the promoters and/or ppl who work for the clubs.
I read something about Sasha doing NYE there because of his ties with the mgmt at Avalon Boston (who bought the place that is now Avalon NYC).
And some DJ's like spinning at certain places.
Then again, it might be all about the money.
I haven't heard of a DJ turning down a gig because of the venue, at least around here
Ferry deff has much love for Glow and DC.
Four of the six clubs Ferry likes to play at the most, are in the Unites States....thats just sick!!!

different ppl go to clubs for different reasons
I think Avalon targets a wide audience, giving something for everyone there
I'm sure some ppl like having the hip-hop room as an option, for example
