Expensive but good music on the dancefloor

not usually a dancer, but once the dancefloor opens up after a certain hour (12?) it was a blast. nice open area, hot dancers, good crowd. expensive though - got two small vodka sodas for 20

Best time out in a while!!!

Went to the last rocket party at Amalia. Had an awesome time! The DJ upstairs wasn't too inspired. But the one downstairs was driving the crowd crazy! awesome mixes of 80's and 90's hits, to electrobeats to usher to Gaga. Awesome venue and no cover charge. Will definitely migrate to their new venue at Quo. Hope it kept the spirit of the Amalia days...

Ups and downs...

I think this place deserves a little credit. The venue is gorgeous, open bar until 11pm (come on!), and packed with guys. On the other hand I can understand being upset at the experiences described in the other reviews. Not everyone I saw there was a pretty-boy, though the crowd definitely skewed towards the lookers. The people I met were all friendly--I'd go back in a heart beat were I not 3,000 miles away!

Other reviewers are not exaggerating

The poor manners of the doorpeople are truly staggering. I'm really surprised that whoever manages the place would allow the first experience their customers have of it to be high-handed rudeness. I've seen customers handled more pleasantly by TSA screeners at Newark Airport on a holiday weekend. One visit was more than enough, thanks.

What kind of pretentious gay club is this?

The place was whack.Ive had better times at Cielo and Pacha.If you wanna go to a trendy gay lounge that keeps it real,go to Vlada,the Ritz or HK lounge.What a joke this place was and is.
