Went to Mine last night for New Years Eve and definitely had a fantastic time ringing in the New Year. Â I'm not home much anymore, but when I am it's nice to go out.
I hit Mine with my friends and it was quite crowded, but everyone was dancing and having fun getting away from the other crowds on Caroline St. Â I wasn't feeling some of the club goers though-- a small fight broke out at one point, some of the people were fairly obnoxious, and a few guys just wouldn't quit with the advances even when it was obvious that I was just having fun with my friends. Â I've been to many clubs where I was able to dance with friends and be left alone after I had already said "no" once- this was not the case last night. Â Some people might say to that, "Well what do you expect when you go out?" but trust me, some of the people here were just overly pushy, even for a club atmosphere, and for that part of the experience I have to downgrade a star. Â It's not the club's fault per say, but my experience last night wasn't quite what it could have been. Â I personally think this place is good enough to be more selective and weed people out. Â That sounds kind of terrible but the more exclusive this place gets, the better people it will attract. Â It would only benefit the club in the long run in my opinion.
That's not to say that many of the people who were there weren't having a great time/looked great. Â The one thing I can say about Mine is that there are a variety of ages that go here, based on my observations about 21 to 50 (singles and couples). Â I think it's because the atmosphere is versatile and the inside of the club always looks great. Â Last night they hired a particularly good DJ after 10pm and the song selection was completely on point. Â They certainly know how to make a drink here too, and sitting at the bar is always a pleasure. Â Overall, they really put a lot of effort into making the place look classy and clean. Â I'll be looking forward to coming back here in the summer time, I think that's when it'll be the most fun for me.
