Jarrod;

Thanks for the reply ....i used to work around the corner from spy lounge, been there a few dozen times but always ended up leaving there early to move on to other joints...and you are right about the HOT babes...

but i am after more hardcore r&b venues....

Evolution for sure, that's where the party's at on Saturday night these days. Get there early tho, gets packed out by about 11:30

Upstairs: Oldschool R&B/Funk/Hip Hop

Downstairs: Popular R&B/Dancehall/Hip Hop

4 Bars in total and 2 lounge areas

Well provided you are not Asian and a bunch of guys, then you will have a better chance of getting into Evolution.

Never been inside but I hate that place already.

[funkymonkey]

actually there's a good mix of people in there, but yes they prefer to let people with women in rather than large groups of guys. There's a good serving of asians in there usually, and even some hot asian women... mmm

[Jetdat]

thx funky, i knew you would come up with the goods..

i will be there with 2 girls so getting in should not be a problem...

Friday night at evo is asian night...same with saturday @ next blue

[raasclaat]

yeah melbourne is strange that way..

I am visiting from perth and found it hard to get into the few clubs that we tried because it was "members or guests only" which i figured translated to "we dont want any more sausage in here"....mind u we are good looking blokes Will have to meet some girls one night to go in with. I should have done my research before heading over! my bad. Would have been nice to meet up with some when we have a hotel room in the city..

sorry for the hijack

Evolution is the place for good rnb/funk on saturday nights.. Its always my first choice for saturday nite clubbin and its always good!

get there around 11.. not too packed.. and ull have no trouble gettin in if theres only a couple of u.

Its a reasonably young crowd, and a mix of natios and ive only seen one brawl there.. so its not 'rough'

for future reference to clubs go to www.grooveon.com.au - they list everything RnB, which nite, and where..

Hope ur gal pal likes it :headspin:

F4 is pretty awesome on Friday and Saturday nights. It's not the biggest venue, but has the greatest mix of R&B and Funk. And the Women a fiiine, not that you would be looking with your lady there . Been to Evolution, not bad, but if there is a long line it's not worth the wait.

Lotus Bar is alright on friday night 2

lol noticed your age I would say Boutique @134 Greville Street Prahran. The night is all style and class and has a slightly older crowd aswell . One of the best Saturday’s in Melbourne.

[funkymonkey]

lol yes, us yunguns tend to go to evo dunno bout you oldies...

as for grooveon, there's nothing that pisses me off than an obnoxious groovon promoter... grrr..

[Jetdat]

fantastic response to the question, many thanks...

i am older than most of you but the girl i am taking out is 25...so crowd age issue is not a huge factor although i rather not go to a venue full of 18 year olds....a mixture would be nice....

thus far i am interested in evo, boutique and F4....but keep them ideas/thoughts coming if you have anymore, i still have 6 days to plan a night to impress...

funkymonkey... i totally agree with u there about grooveon, the guys on the forums and the promoters tend to be a lil arrogant!

I just use grooveon to keep up with events and news.
