Headed down to DblO over the weekend and I must admit that it's a pretty awesome club/bar (second only to Gotham) if you manage to get a place to sit. Alternatively, you could party at the dancefloor all night if you don't mind the blaring speakers. And i do mean BLARING.
You can get pretty high spending just $50 on booze. To set things in perspective, a jug of standard housepour at other clubs will cost you $35-$42. Here, however, you pay just 12 friggin bucks.
