This is my honest and humble review and I dont have anything against anyone, i also dont work for any company or any entity what so ever. **** I have been going to Park for the past 3- 4 years now and things were a lot different back then. If i were to count how much money i have spent there, it would be close to $9000 - $10,000 combined. I have been going there almost every other Friday/Saturday and just like in the past up till yesterday i've spent about $100-$120 on drinks and tips per night.
For the past few weeks me and my friends have been waiting in the guest list line much longer than usual, and if you have been to the park recently then you would agree with me. Here's what I realized yesterday. We were waiting for about 2 hours in the guest list and me and my friends were the first few people in the guest list line followed by other 20 people.we were the first hour,. All I could see is a crowd of people coming in and they were getting the OK to go in the club. So i walk up to this GUY and ask him that we have been waiting in the guest list for an hour, he says were gonna get to you soon. I'm like OK. After another 30 mins we were still waiting and he started to let smaller groups of people in. I walked up again to him, he said sorry I cant do anything go back to the line, I'm like ok. Eventually, I noticed that the SMALLER GROUPS of people were paying him to get in. After 2 hours, im still the first person in the guest list line (I got there at 10pm and now its 11:45pm) I go to this guy and tell him that its just me and my friend here today and were have been waiting for 2 hours and we are first in line. ** ** HE SAYS, ITS GOING TO BE $20 EACH TO GET IN *** Now this $20 IS THE MONEY HE POCKETS **** AND LATER ALL THE OTHER BOUNCER AND SECURITY GUYS SPLIT. ** ** I just stood there and looked at him, MONEY was not a issue here at all, I had $20 to give him and get in. But you are letting RANDOM people and groups of people in by making your OWN POCKET MONEY...WHILE PEOPLE WHO SIGNED UP ON THE GUEST LIST ARE WAITING FOR 2 HOURS ?????? .... At least be FAIR and just walk up to the GUEST LIST line and ask " DOES ANYONE HAVE $20, I"LL LET"EM IN RIGHT NOW" ...
SO... here is what i'm trying to get at ...when ever you go to The Park ... just go with a group of friends and instead of going to the guest list line just go directly to the security guy (usually the ball head dude) or there's this other one and tell him " I HAVE 4-5 PEOPLE IN MY GROUP AND WE WILL GIVE YOU $20 EACH " .. he will let you in for sure. IF its past 9:30 or 10pm on Saturday dont even bother with the guest list line, YOU WONT GET IN and i guarantee you that.
Its been a sad experience for me because I see so many people being treated UNFAIRLY, just so security guys can make some POCKET MONEY...
I have decided NOT TO BACK there again, I know JUST ME not going will not make much of a difference but I hope YOU reading this right now will have a decision to make.
Other than all the security and bouncer bulls***t, the place is kool, once you get in. But after seeing all the unfair treatment and asking for money and all that, and waiting in line for hours. Yesterday we got in the club at 12:15 after paying the Security guy to get in and also paying the cover which is $10, even though I was the first person in the guest list line. All that was enough for me, IM NOT GOING BACK .. I'll start hitting up Social or District 30 maybe.
