Pros:
1. The size (you get really close to the DJ)
2. Cheap alcohol
3. Good location (can easily park for free nearby)
4. Sound is OK (keep in mind the room size)
Cons:
1. Alful entrance (takes you an hour to go in)
2. Poor ventilation (1 hour of dancing and the oxygen ratio in the air drops down to probably 30%, then you go out to catch a breath of fresh air and you have to wait another hour to go back in)
3. Poor hygene (pardon me, but the place is dirty)
4. Decoration (you all know what I am talking about)
5. Lighting and effects (it is really dark and the light effects are more suitable for a kareoke bar)
6. Architecture (I nearlly killed myself few times, tripping at the single step to the elevated floor infront of the DJ booth)
quoted this from rank 1 thread
1.agree
2.agree
3.agree
4.sound is as good if not better than any club in the city, plus they just added 2 more bassbins, whiskey is also very good for sound
1.entrance sucks ass
2.ventilation isnt good but any dj show ive been to at the whiskey has been the same thing at digweed a few years ago the ceiling was dripping with sweat
3.how exactly is it dirty? I know the bathrooms arent fancy but they're not that dirty
4.who cares?
5.where else in the city has an amazing light show? the lights at the warehouse are pretty standard not to mention they always bring in a lazer for big djs, which no other clubs do
6.thats your fault every bar in the city has steps watch where you are walking
some other positives I'd like to mention, when do you ever see a big dj for cheap on a friday in calgary other than at the warehouse? NEVER, dom and chris have done an amazing job bringing awesome djs in and have the warehouse booked all through july so people that are complaining are either gonna have to suck it up or miss a bunch of great shows and just go to the odd sunday or wednesday show at the whiskey(which are horrible for people that work or go to school)
Thats all I have to say, except that the warehouse is one of the only things keeping calgary scene strong so better learn to appreciate it or we'll end up like edmonton |

heres a question Ive wondered
What dont you like about the entrance?
Is it the pat downs for drugs and weapons?
The lining up inside, as opposed to outside?
The ID info taking?--This one baffles me as well, but hey Id rahter have it on paper, than that ID scanning thing.
or the lining up off the alley.
The rest of the arguments dont bug me and I think they are part of its charm. The warehouse atmoshpere is the minimal underground club. It does that very well. I think that is the clientel that they attract, and the client that they are going for as well. I mean you are complaining about decoration.
Tell me what club in calgary really has decorations. Sure, some places (ie palace) have decor that come with the building, but that hardly counts. The industrial fans (if only they didnt rattle) are the coolest looking thing around.
Bathrooms in clubs are always nasty. Not specific to the warehouse.
The step could go...I admit to that. Its an annoyance, but at the same time, I like dancing on it.
heres my list
Pros
Lineup(DJ)
sound
drink prices
refill your water
hours that its open
parking/location
general atmosphere of the room
friendly staff (to me at least, I <3 tamara)
re entry
tonnes of seating
admission is always cheap!!!
Cons
line to get in can be long, but having membership makes it go faster.
they have to stop serving booze @ 2. :( |
