You are knit picking a bit there homey... bathroom line ups, coat check line ups, and even a sweaty club are almost unavoidable...
drink prices are touch and go... i'll pay $10 for a drink if i was at a fancy club (but thats me)
but if the music was amazing than that really does superseeds everything lol |
bathoom lineups are one thing, but these were far too long imo. Long because they over packed the place, which affects more than just your dance space. It affects room temperature, bar wait and coat check wait. 30 minutes in line waiting is unacceptable. Since the line was at the back, people entering the club for the first time and anyone going to or returning from the bathroom were pushing through the line to get to the dance floor. The whole club, minus the stage, was like this. People constantly pushing through to get wherever.
Sweaty clubs aren't unavoidable. It's not that difficult to get a decent circulation system in place. If you they aren't going to go the full 9 and invest in a massive a/c unit (what club would?). then at least buy a dozen fans (can't cost more than $100/each) and spread them around. There was one in the stage area which was a god send and completely saved our night in that department. This solution wouldn't cost much and could be set up in 1 day.
As for drinks, everyone has their own opinion on what price is appropriate. I would never consider this club fancy, so I think $7 is steep for a domestic beer. Coda, Toika, Guv etc all charge $6 at the most.
Like I said before, not any of these things drove me nuts. It's just a bunch of small things that added up over the course of the night. The music and sound were fantastic, which is why I put up with everything else and stayed till 5AM.
Also, my girlfriend would like to add that there was no toilet paper in the bathroom stalls. On the way in, the bathroom attendant was handing each person enough for doing their number 1 job. There was toilet paper on the back of each toilet, but they had fallen on the floor at some point and were soaked in piss. This was happening on 3 different trips to the bathroom. How long does it take for a staff member to check on the bathroom situation every hour?
This certainly got off topic. I've said what my peace. Feel free to retort or let's get back to the original topic. |

Your last statement contradicts itself. |
Buy them out, competition is always good for a customer? You don't think that contradicts itself?
"Am I wrong? Of course I'm not lol"
Hey, I used your own line on you. Works much better with my spin on it. |

See, this seems reasonable/valid points. But your first post almost seemed troll like.

She played Stereo Montreal both times the night before. Whenever she's at Stereo, Ryze gets her the next day. |

CODA "continues to book" the hottest acts, they have been open since Jan 18th.
And there are older people who dont know who the young acts are, they only want to see the legends or djs they know.
Both places cater to different markets like prog Zabiela, Hernan, and trance. |

well theyve been open since Oct under the 794 Bathurst name...
The new location is not the point, the point is Footwork/Coda has been growing and they are the biggest club in the city to cater to non commercial houe music and Ryze/Moskito have been the biggest threat to them... Ryze/Moskito has only been around for.... what 2years(i think) and they already had to undergo a rebranding... can they survive?
they've been booking a wide genre of music from house to techno to edm to dubstep... im sure they had a few other one off events (hiphop, glitch)... will this keep them alive? |

| IMO I think the worst thing about Ryze is the building itself. A steep ass staircase sucks to wait on (getting in) and walk down when you're leaving. Having people walk in beside the stage and traverse the club to hit coat check is just awful, at least it's not down two flights of stairs anymore. Oh yeah, the bathrooms really are utter though. Two of the smallest stalls of all time and three urinals inside the most cramped washroom possible. |

Yea I agree. The way the line cues are orchestrated at Ryze is completely godawful. Who ever decided to put coat check where it is now in the back was clearly not thinking straight. The line extends and blocks the entire back area of the dancefloor just behind the rear speakers. On busy and even semi-busy nights the coat check line converges with the bathroom lines and then it even spills into the bar area cue. It completely messes up the whole back 1/4 of the club which is disappointing because that is prime dancing space. What a cluster ! I actually prefer if the coat check was moved back downstairs. |
