I hope opening night goes smoothly - no massive cues of people waiting around to get in and no one knowing why (especially if -40 outside). Knowledgeable/courteous staff - who are aware of where the washrooms are - smoking area/s are (these questions will be asked). In the last 3 years I have gone to a couple of clubs where on opening night - there was a lack of co-ordination and rude or uninformed staff. People were pissed and verbally DESTROYED those places - and all the hard work and effort the owners invested - ruined. Which I think is a shame. People need to relax. We need diversity/options in the club scene. If you wanna dance in a raw space - the incarnations over the years at 380 College fit that need. Otherwise if it was so easy to make the "perfect" club there would be no need to open any more becasue they would all be PERFECT?? la la land..... This is not the Guv nor is it System or any other club here in TO, It is Republik and I hope it aspires to be everything it can and should be - and finds itself to be a viable option for a good weekend out. Good DJs, good sound, good club and good crowd = a great night out. To have all of these happen at once - a miracle (everyone has something to say) - but I am looking forward to their 5 year anniversary party. And until the big box superclubs come and standardize everything - we must enjoy the individualism that each club/bar brings to the scene. Good luck Republik - I will be there!

SOMEBODY will always complain no matter what. This i am sure of.

All very true and I couldn't agree with you more. When REPUBLIK has been brought up here and there in convos people have had nothing but good things to say about this place and it's HUGE potential so good luck to all involved!

Understood it is only the small room, and that is not going to stop me from checking out the club. But that is my opinion of the lighting shown in those pictures.

-m

It's not neon... They are LED light fixtures that are completely controllable... over 256 colors... Please dont insult me with Neon!

Have a look when its operational and then tell me what you think.

Republik is going to be nuts, ppl come yourself down, this is just the room where the hip-hop will be played, just think how the main room will look, and just wait till you find out what this powerhouse holds inside. See you there on the opening night!

I conducted an Interview With Walter on Friday, full walk-through and other questions about the club and its all done and ready to go. Im just waiting for Walter to OK it and then It will be availabe for download (hopefully it will educate everyone that wants to know more about the club itself)

Well from what I have seen so far it is my judgement that this place is one sexy ass club which will make an impact on the Toronto scene

BRING ON THE TRANCE!!!!!!!!!!

this room and the urinal circle looks great!

I mean all jokes aside the club seems to look wicked, I'll be there as soon as it opens....
I"m guessing that's where I'll be seeing all of you TAs!!!!!
can't wait!

Don't be so humble, you're not that great!

judging from the pictures, I wouldn't say it's anything special
I've been to so many clubs that resemble that one
if you're designing a new club, why not design something out of the ordinary, someting really unique and unseen
...that many lasers = kitsch
I'm not really into setting as much - I don't mind partying on a parking lot, the beach, the garage - whatever.. but for a club to impress me with interior design, it's gotta have something different
even so, I regret I won't be there any time soon to check it out
