How is Plush for a music event like Armin? Without going into a lot of detail, I'm getting some fairly harsh reviews from some friends of mine who say that almost every big name electronic event they've gone to there has been ruined by various elements of the club and the crowd. Is this true?

plush isnt all terrible
it gets an occasional sketchy crowd i supposed
trance and house events get a good sized bar star crowd
but its not all horrendous

I road-tripped up in June to see Digweed and Ferry on back-to-back nights at Plush. It's not too shabby a venue; nice security, staff, good crowd, decent sound, and fairly clean. I'd head up there again for a party if someone's playing there that I'd be unable to catch here.

not a big fan of it. especially when paul van dyk plays on sunday and has to end at 12.
the staff there is totally hit and miss.
the crowd i find less friendly usually, as it seems you get a lot of people that get free tickets from thier plush friends, but dont really like the music....

all that being said, I have still seen some wicked shows there...i just prefer other venues.

Plush is a decent venue. With the exception of that support pillar on the house-right side, it has pretty good sight lines.

I've been to worse clubs [ELEMENT in Seattle] with terrible security/staff & a really bad set-up, and I've gone to some really great venues [COMMODORE BALLROOM comes to mind].

Plus: Not a Granville Strip Club

Cons: So desperately wants to be a Granville Strip Club


Haven't been there in nearly two years though, so it may have changed since.

I heard it's full of conspiring Polish people.*

Count me in if it ever becomes a strip club though.

I'm okay with it, it isn't good IMO but it isn't bad. I know about that PVD thing, he did play till 12:30 LOL, and even wanted to play longer but the security had to come up and tell him to stop.

The layout needs improvement, you got this long walk in with a bunch of space unused and then a rather small dancefloor, it's okay in general but the washrooms are horrible.

The worst part about Plush other than the slow door on big shows is that I have found that different bars in the club charge different prices. You never get to see how much which means you are getting ripped off in some way.

Also they don't take credit cards, cash only.

Er... Granville Strip refers to clubs all along Granville Street, since Vancouver has this odd policy about making it cheaper to operate on that street; something about keeping all of the night life antics in one localized area so the city police force doesn't have to wander around much (or so goes the rumour).

I think there is a peeler joint along there though.

The only one left on Granville is The Cecil.

The only other one downtown is The Penthouse on Seymour.

No peeler joint discussion can be had without the mention of the ol No.5!

And isnt Brandi's still around?
