I was actually at 230 Fifth on Friday night for a friend's birthday... Nice place but totally not my scene, or music... However, I somehow didn't end up paying for some reason (idk?) and got really lucky. Someone must not have been doing their job at the register or wherever it was that I had to pay. The music sucked but like I said, the place was very nice, great views all around. It's good for a one-time thing to check it out but I doubt I'll go back there again. It beats me why people go to those kinda places week-in and week-out. The door guys were all dicks, not even just to us, but to everyone around us, no matter how hot the girls were or how many they were. One of the "promoters" had to like plead with the door guy to get in, he sounded like a little helpless kid convincing his school principal to let him get out of time-out and go play at recess. My friend and I (we are/were both promoters and know the drill) just looked at each other and shook our heads like wow, this is wack.
Drinks were 10-15$ which for an upscale rooftop big club like that I guess is okay and understandable.. There's places that are shittier that are charging 15-20$+... The outdoor area was really cramped, they put too many tables so it's kinda pointless to make it a "rooftop lounge" if like 40 people at their tables can enjoy it, while the other few hundred are packed like sardines and end up trickling down into the indoor room because it's not worth it... The music's not even loud at all, we could barely hear it. It was good indoors though, but just tables, no dancefloor. The poor DJ was so not into it, I could see the pain in his eyes that he had to play Top 40 dance crap; poor kid sold his soul though, I guess, so he kinda deserves the misery lol...
On another note, if you really want a cool outdoor party during the week, check out Hudson Hotel on Mondays every other week (http://www.giantstep.com), it's cool and very nice up there, sometimes really really good DJs come through and best part is it's free!
