Wherefore Art Thou Discotheque?

I am on the edge of my seat with anticipation as to what sorry excuse the Cremorne Hotel will come up with for a nightclub.

As is perfectly clear from the Antler Bar, they have completely overestimated their clientele. It’s been tried before, with the opening of the C Lounge, which we all know was a dismal failure. The opening was good - if you got an invite, which was not extended to any locals. Instead they targeted beautiful people who went for the free food and grog and were never seen since.

I myself managed to sneak in with someone else’s invite. They even had fire twirlers – which is a great idea if you have smoke alarms as sensitive as the hole’s.

I think we should have a competition for the naming the nightclub. Previous names have included The Lighthouse and Steps, so obviously an improvement is in order. Pissed Pete’s is an obvious choice, but lacks the refinement that the Hole is so desperately trying to achieve.

Please post your suggestions for the new nightclub.

Winner will receive opening night passes to the nightclub accompanied by Pete.

I've been informed that the new nightclub already has a name - a delightful pun on a word meaning 'intoxication'.

If I were to name it, I would call it Titanic, because it's going to hit rock bottom just as quickly as that great ocean liner.

By the way, I'm sure it used to be called Fresh a few years ago as well.

My sister and I used to walk past the sign on Military Road saying "FRESH OPEN NOW!" with pictures of dancers on it on our way to highschool.

As a 16-year-old schoolgirl, I vowed I would never hang around the Metropole. Unfortunately I was sadly mistaken.

One of our pub mates, who I will identify only as Mr. Tastic, tells me that back in the olden days, the nightclub was the hang-du-jour of the North Shore.

Allegedly the queue used to be out the door and around the block, and there was a cover charge.

Personally I think they should bring back DJ Roy Pro and Simon. Those 2 were rockin'.

Hey, just thought of a name...how about Ho-Hole?

How about So-So-Bar?

I used to work with a balding middle aged man who used to tell me of his days rockin' a pair of tight white pants at Steps in the 1970s.

I really think tight white pants are not seen enough these days.

Aparently it has alreaady been named the So-Bar and is set to open on the 13th of december but the sign on the front say 27th oct so who knows , they are pretty fucking hopless and i was told that by matt the manager last night

13th of December? Who opens a nightclub on a Wednesday night?

Do they think that the badge draw crowd are going to migrate upstairs afterwards for a sly disco biscuit and a groove?

That's fine by me, as long as I'm at home tucked up in bed by 10pm.

Ha, ha. It's not even $20 to get in to GOOD places.

1.8M - I bet they still manage to stuff it up.

What a crack up.

I must admit my curiousity is piqued.

Don't act like you won't be at opening night in your top hat and cane, my dear.

Considering the new managment priceing scheme a rum and coke will proberly be some bullshit price in the club
