It's very "sceney" and a lot of "normal" people just flat out don't like it. Places like Mansion and Story are safer bets. But you know your friends best so if you think they're down then go for it. Just saying from past experience. Nothing worse then getting to Space at 12:30, all pumped for a great night/morning/afternoon of underground house music only to find out that the peeps you brought aren't feeling it at all. It sucks.

They all "enjoy" EDM... but it looks like Ft. Lauderdale/The keys are a much better bet than Miami & SoBe. Looked into it and Beach Week is not something we really want to be around, not that it's bad or anything - it's just not for us. Looks like Fort Lauderdale is our best bet, with friends who live there. Can anyone recommend places to eat? And where are the good nightlife spots there for tons of drinking and dancing with a good atmosphere?

Hard Rock has all your bases covered for nightlife. Donnie is a damn good DJ and Sharam I'm sure will rock the house. That place is always fun. Go to the beach during the day, hit up the bars on the strip. Always a good time. I actually enjoy Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood more than Miami other than for music. Slightly more laid-back, not as expensive, and less trendy, but still a lot of fun.

Originally posted by OrangestO Eclectic is good, especially for "non-EDM fans" as he alluded to. At least for me it was when I first jumped into the scene. Maybe the whole "non-EDM fans" is subject to what that exactly means when making such statements (interpretation). I just find it very broad and general to make such a statement unless you're going to make specific allegations.

Hey, I'm the same way. My first ever real experience with this kind of music and scene was coincidentally at Space and I fuckin' loved it.

However, most mainstream people are not going to particularly enjoy it. And if you have your sights set on staying until the sun comes up, they're probably going to end up resenting you. It's really a place for people that are into the music/scene already. Obviously there's exceptions (I'm one of them).

Sounds like the Hard Rock it is! I'm highly interested in seeing Donnie and Sharam...
