B-Lounge

this is what happened to me (DJ Grapla):

I DJ-ed there for 3 years (2011-2014) when it was top notch. Dalia + Young used to run it, when it was 5 star club and for the People. It had a great vibe and the people were very fun to party with. The staff, bartenders, bouncers, & door girls were all very good. I as an Award winning DJ had the creative choice to play what ever I wanted as long as I stuck to the vibe of the night and people were having a great time. It wasnt about making money. It was all about having a great time. Now that it is going strong, the Best Value Inn Hotel Owner, Mr. Hong took over because he saw that they (Dalia + Young) built it up and were beginning to make profit.
Last time I DJ-ed there (Oct 31, 2014) My last show, Mrs Hong was over my shoulder telling me what music to play. I am a professional DJ. I do this for a living. Its not like I tell him how to run his hotel. I would never in a million years do that. I want his business to do good and succeed. I'm not there to sabotage, I am an asset & love to see people have a great time by entertaining them. Everybody Wins
Anyways the new management, the hotel owner Mr Hong, told me and I quote:

"For the last 30 mins play nothing but Techno, so that people will leave" -Mr Hong

What kind of Owner kills his own business like that!? Why would you want people to pay the entry fee, buy drinks and then make them leave early? On top of that I am the DJ playing the music so that the blame goes on me???? The last hour is when the DJ turns it up and people have fun. I told him NO!

At the end of the night after I made him money and rocked the venue, leaving people happy and ready to come back next week. Mr. Hong didnt want to book me because I did not obey his command of playing not so good music so people would leave early. POWER TRIP EGO DRIVEN OWNER = Mr. Hong = Only wants your money and to profit off the very same people that want to have a good time.

The club is not the same anymore & under new management. Its not for the people, vibe, atmosphere, and the music scene. It is about making money for this Greedy Mr. Hong. Now that the club is doing good off of Dalia + Young's years of hard work, this Mr Hong Hotel Owner wants to ruin the scene and make profit off of people. Very Bad for Business. Dont waste your money on going in paying a door fee and buying drinks and put money into that greedy man's pockets. -Grap (djgrapla.com)

Let's talk about B-Lounge for a moment... Anyone who knows me or has read my reviews knows that I do not take giving out just 1 star lightly. I try to see the good in things and not the bad. I really don't see any silver lining with this place.

The front door girls are more interested in talking to each other than in greeting you in any way. The bartender was nice, but the drinks are extremely overpriced: Hennesy is the same as Ciroc is the same as everything else, the girl basically told me that just about everything was $8... So whether you buy top shelf or bottom, it's the same price.

Let's talk about the dance floor! Please, please, please, please! hire a new DJ. One that has some semblance of an idea of what should be played in a modern dance club, because I heard the same song at least 2 or 3 times, and I heard a lot of music that I'm pretty sure I danced to at middle school dances.

I have no interest in returning to this "club." I think I'd rather dance with my Kinect and drink Koolaid than set foot in there again.
