Went to the Preview party on Saturday night with some of the Crobar staff and here is my review.
Firstly I have to congratulate Robbie Wooten and al the staff for doing such a great job with the space.
The entrance was smooth and simple with all security guards (Dressed in White) both respectful and courteous.
Coat check was a little manic as it's in the path of the entrance and caused a bit of a bottleneck.
At this point there is really no resemblence to the space we know as Twilo. The entrance stairs go down to the main floor room wich is nicely designed and laid out.
The room seems a lot smaller than before but some of that room is taken up by a fixed stage sitting under a huge Globe with projections sceens either side of it.
The sound system in my opinion did not sound too good at all. no clarity and at times a bit muffled. This I'm sure is just and EQ'ing issue that can soon be corrected.
The performance were OK. Kind of Riverdance meets New Age ballet.
The naked girl with the hoola hoop however did a great job of performing well to the music being played.
Lots of lights and projections created a somewhat bright room which at times seemed to blind you with light.
The design of the room is that the 2nd and 3rd floors have been half removed to create an atrium effect that allows the secons the 3rd floor to look down over the dancefloor and stage.
The second floor consists of a sweep around balcony (VIP Room) wich also houses the DJ booth, Light and sound console. The ceilings on the fllor are very low and create a dark and secluded VIP room.
The 3rd floor is the 160 seater restaurant, Bar and Holistic center,
Aromatherapy massage rooms, henna tatooist and reflexologists are just some of the concepts here which some might find gimmicky, but seemed to work very well inside the club.
Throughtout the space there are nooks and crannies to explore and performance artists doing sketches in several places.
The restaurant food was good and well priced. very cool concept to be able to sit at your table and look down at the dancefloor. The music in the food area was very spiritual and well done.
Drinks are all well priced and I think this place will do very well.
The age group is older and a more sophisticated approach to clubbing is being achieved here.
I look forward to the official opening next Saturday with David Morales.
Week after that is our grand opening of CROBAR NYC!
