Ideas for a nightclub ? What features did you like best ?

Hire Michael Alig as soon as he gets out of prison.

He was just denied parole again because he got busted with drugs. May end up waiting many more years.

Then, as the club owner, you can get your own cool eye patch! I don't have advice on how to handle the feds.

If you already own a successful night club just modify the format you have to fit the town you're opening it in. I worked in clubs for about 3 years (albeit strip clubs versus night clubs) but I got my start working at a super popular night club that had two themes going on.

If you need a GM I wouldn't mind moving up to Canada.

I really like the design n lightning of this club. Very impressive!

i agree you end up taking all the promoters clients - most ARE turds...but you asked info for starting a NEW venue... if you have the leads use em!. if you don't use promoters till you don't need em. It never hurts to cycle one in now and then that can bring in a new crowd of people too....


a little info you're probably already doing but never hurts to throw out there....

I ran an average of 5000 invites for most events I threw - only a 450 person club though...... many events got over 10K out - I'd average 300 people coming from 5000 invites or so (300 was a perfect number for a great night at my club for it's size - not too packed but still very busy)....

the internet is a great way to promote, i did most of my promotion through it.

I'd also take tons of hot girls up to my office and offer a few free drinks if they invite all their friends on facebook to future events. Most hot girls have 1000 friends on facebook. I made sure they did it in front of me - bar sluts always lie LOL - but by having the invites come from different people all the time I found they got better exposure, and when it came from a hot girl that hadn't ever sent out many invites to anything before I got the best results... My feeling was if they came from the same person all the time they started to get ignored. After having several new people hit their lists up, a week before then I'd use my and staff's in house lists to overlap what had been sent out.

anyway good luck with it! From what I hear Montreal is a much better city to work with in the liquer business. I've always loved the night clubs there.

it was a really good advice SleazyDream. Seems like you have a lots of experience in the clubbing business.

i'm good at writing off a million bucks from the club biz........ LOL

We need to talk soon my old acquaintance! Hit me up on ICQ 129060301 or email [email protected]

I can guarantee every club in eastern Canada has a coat check

Yeah getting clients to invite their friends is always good.

As far as bathroom goes, I think we have some of the best, if not the best bathrooms for a club in eastern canada. We have a total of 5 different service rooms (1 private, 4 public) arround the club.

Mirror room for the ladies :


Ladies room :


Entrance :


Video turn tables on the main floor :


Stage for artists on the 2nd floor, everything is standalone as far as sound setup goes


DJ booth of the smaller bar, brand new CDJ 900s


Private loft for features :




I also have this setup when we have bands

We have more girls then guys pretty much everynight. I have 56 % girls in my database.

IDK exactly for SQ Footage.

As far as the saff goes :












etc.

Sounds like you know what you are doing. I had a blast at my club.
Having the right Managers is the best thing ever so as an Owner, you can enjoy your own club.

I may have to stop by and check it out someday.

I was hoping to see some screwed fucked up lighting or bars

You're welcome anytime you want

make sure there is a comfortable spot to do shit ton of drugs
