Bridgeview Yacht Club

Went here for a wedding, no complaints. Food was decent, staff were nice and accommodating, plenty of space, nice being on the water.
It was nice going to a wedding where the staff didnt make any major mistakes.

I came here for the Cancer Center for Kids Winthrop Hospital charity event. This is a great venue for charity events, weddings and parties. Glad to see it has recovered from Hurrican Sandy. Great setting on the water with both indoor and outdoor tables. The cocktail hour featured both set stations and pass arounds and hard working friendly staff. Dinner was Chateau Briande and Pistachio coated Salmon both done to perfection. The Bridgeview put on a great party for a great cause last night.

I'm reviewing the Tuesday night parties that they have in the summer.

This place is almost always packed and full of a lot of sloppy young drunk people.  It's 18+ to get in, so it's mostly a college crowd.  I'm a little too old for this place now so I probably won't go back.  I have been here tons of time though so I'll share my 2 cents.

First the bouncers...they're all  rude and full of themselves, but they do a good job and keeping the place safe.  They're under the impression that they're cops or something, but they're just a bunch of juiced up idiots standing outside of a club checking ID's. There are always several fights throughout the night.  Leave after 2 AM because that's when everyone starts getting belligerent.

Next, the drinks....I like getting beer, but they're so cheap that they actually serve it in the can.  How trashy is that?! I've tried the cocktail drinks and they seem to put a normal amount of liquor in them so that's good. However, be aware of how much the drinks cost. The bartenders obviously need tips so badly that they'll raise the prices of the drinks, thinking you won't notice, and then keep the extra. One girl stole my money right in front of me. I let her keep it because her life must be so pathetic that she needs to steal a dollar, just to get by...smh.

On to the bathrooms...the girls bathroom is an absolute nightmare.  The girls cut the line, they get into fights, they're all throwing up in the stalls and doing god knows what else. It's just disgusting to see how girls behave when they've gotten a few drinks in them.  If you've ever been in this bathroom, you know that the concept of being "lady-like", doesnt exist.

The club itself is nice, the music is usually good.  The outside area is nice, but reeks of smoke. It's a kind of place you have to go to, to decide whether you like it or not.  Its a thumbs down for me though.
