This is my review:

Got there about 1045 and waited 30-45 minutes to get in. Once inside, we waited 20 minutes to get a drink. Then I waited another 20 minutes to go to the bathroom. Afterward, I get a text to meet my friend at the front left. It takes approx. 10 minutes to wade through the people. We get there and are pushed, stomped, and dragged by others, so we go wait another 30 minutes for a drink. Then we wade through the crowd another 10 minutes to get to the restroom, just to have the asshole bouncer say that since they had 493875089234720578345 people in attendance, they were closing the bottom restroom, and sent us to wait (and we timed this) 27 minutes to get into the upstairs one. After this, someone wanted another drink, we waited, went back to the dance floor to get pushed, shoved, and stepped on... and about 10 minutes later, the house lights came on.

... wait, Sasha was there?

Haha, go Opera.

HAHAHAHA thats a good one! The sad part is that it really was like that.
That place was packed worse then a sardine can!
The good thing is that i enjoyed the mix that Sasha put on last night.

Wow, you have a crappy experience just about every time you go out. Maybe next time you should buy a handle of vodka and a disco ball, invite some friends to your house, and plug in your iPod. Better times + less money.

Here's to hoping that next time won't suck so much for you.

As much as I'd like to see Sasha, sounds like it wouldn't have been worth it. I don't like him that much to have to put up with the crowd.

could anyone have honestly expected better though?

I didn't. Amazing music, but just an utterly horrible venue.

They could rename it The Facepalm Lounge.

The Cheesecake Factory works too.

Cheesecake tastes like fermented and hardened tit byproduct. So yeah, I guess that would also be synonymous with Opera.

Agreed. This was my first time to Opera, and I'd much prefer some other venue. The crowd it attracts is horrible, more of the trendy crowd than music fans. Sasha's set was fantastic though, I wish it lasted a bit longer.

If anyone saw the kid with his mouth sewn shut, that was me.

I have to say though, even though it was packed, I didn't have any problem navigating the crowd or getting drinks in a timely fashion.
