PEARL (HAWAII)


Hawaii we are coming. Is there better place on the Earth to have fun better then Hawaii. Maybe, but Hawaii sounds great to have fun. One of my favorite nightclubs is Pearl.

Since its opening in Ala Moana Center last year, Pearl has served as a sleek watering hole for sophisticated 20- and 30-somethings, with its lounge-like ambience and fresh cocktails. There’s more to come, too, says marketing and PR director Cydney Chu. “We have freshened up our menu, including an overhaul of our wine selections,” she says. “We really want to distinguish ourselves not only as the best nightclub in Honolulu but also as a great eatery and happy-hour spot.”

And they have lots of different coctalis, with interesting names like Pearl bellini, Limon lover, Sangria passion... Sounds delicious. Also they serve really good food.

Some of visiters say:

The first time I went to Pearl, I didn't like it but a couple years later, I decided to give them another chance and I'm glad I did. This time, I went there at 4:30 and left by 8 and that was the best time because I just wanted to relax. The service was EXCELLENT! Can't complain.

or...

If I am forced to go clubbing, this is where I want to be. I love the drinks, decor, half naked dancing diva's and the people (mixed nuts). 
*valet
*vip bottle service
*great hors d'oeuvres (crab cakes are the best!)
*Their Euro-asian Riesling from Germany is excellent!
*mixed crowd...young, old, tourist, local people and tens.
*Strict dress code so, you know there won't be icky bummy peeps rubbin on you when they walk by.
*relaxed fun atmosphere.
I will be going back again soon!:)

or even...

How much cheese can you pack into one place!? This place sux! People actually pay to go here? And the music? Who plays shit like that with a straight face?

well, people have different opinions. I think it is good.

FUSE (BRUSSELS, BELGIUM)


FUSE is the premier techno club of Belgium and has been so since its opening on April 16th 1994. It started off as a heaven for high quality techno with a reputation for bringing in the best and most innovative DJs on the scene. 
Alongside residents Pierre, T-Quest and Deg, DJs such as Jeff Mills, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier, Dave Clarke, Stacey Pullen, Sven Väth and lots of others seem to enjoy playing here as much as the crowd enjoys partying to their sets. These techno luminaries constantly come back for more and rate FUSE as one of their favourite clubs. Monika Kruse, Dave Clarke, Stacey Pullen, Technasia and DJ Hell did even accept an international residency at the club! Meanwhile, after flirtations with drum'n'bass during one year, the first floor was developed into an oasis for house-lovers with residents Smos & Baby Bee and St.Dic who almost weekly welcome famous guests such as Kenny Hawkes, Luke Solomon, Ian Pooley, Basement Jaxx, Jef K. … Venture to 208 Rue Blaesstraat and experience a cutting-edge, exciting vibe, an atmosphere fuelled by die-hard party seekers, ready to dance well into the next day …

A downtown spot that keeps pulling bigger crowds and better DJs. True, there isn't much competition, but Saturday nights are techno nights here and the whole city descends on the place to party wild and hard. Just make sure you can keep up.

I haven't been there, but people who were say...

Believe me, I've been to nearly every club in Belgium and you can't really find a place better than Fuse. Music was awesome, resident DJs (Pierre and Deg) really knows what good party music is, also Pierre is the best DJ in Belgium, so if even you went to "residents night" you'll have great time. Also the review from the person who said it's bad and "just don't go there" went on a Friday. Well, I've been there just once on a Friday and if it were my first time at Fuse it would be my last time! No kidding! I even don't know why, but yeah, different vibe, better to go on Saturday - you'll have great fun and make tons of new friends, because everybody is friendly and laid back. It's really one of the best clubs in Europe!

or...

Best club in Brussels! Saturday nights are crazy. I live in Antwerp and Fuse is the only club worth going to Brussels for! Both Dutch and French speaking people. Cute guys, great service and pumping techno music!

GALEA CLUB (ATHENES, GREECE)

















First of all, i should point out misconception about partying. Even if people see it empty, too hedonistic, fake and within the context of drugs, alcohol and 'promiscuous life-style' it is more exception than rule. I mean, it can be all this, but party culture is also strong connected with art, friendship, traveling, enjoying music... It is subculture but also life-style which celebrates life, happines, art, moment and fun. Not just the way to escape from reality in our commercial world.
So, i would like to mention today's big day for antique art.
Few words about it.
On Monday, today morning, forklifts nosed through a sprawl of antiquities in the second-floor gallery of the New Acropolis Museum here, bearing marble statues and steles. Technicians tugged at bulky black cables, laborers drilled and welded, and a cleaning crew — many of its members working on hands and knees — scraped mounds of white plaster off the floor.
Today, almost two centuries on, many Greeks hope the opening of the museum will focus international attention on their country’s claim to the so-called Elgin Marbles, and put an end to Britain’s longtime argument that it is in a better position to look after those 2,500-year-old panels. Last week the Greek government turned down an offer from the British Museum for a three-month loan of the collection, because it came with the condition that the Greeks formally acknowledge British ownership.
The new museum, 226,000 square feet of glass and concrete designed by the New York architect Bernard Tschumi, replaces the old Acropolis Museum, a small 1874 building tucked into the rock of the Acropolis next to the Parthenon. The design, introduced in 2001, was meant to be completed in time for the 2004 Olympics, but dozens of legal battles — many having to do with some 25 buildings that were demolished to make room for it — delayed the process for years.

http://www.artknowledgenews.com/new-acropolis-museum-in-athens-opens.html

Ok now about Galea. After we visited museum, it is time for nightlife.
The Galea Club is unique in being both a mainstream, year-round venue catering to the local crowd, and one of the must popular summer places to where sun worshippers flock in their many thousands. This puts a lot of pressure on the venue, and especially the sound system that must operate faultlessly 24/7. The Galea combines vigorous dance floor action with a lounge aesthetic. And the club mixes an ultra-modern atmosphere with gourmet dishes in the luxurious restaurant it incorporates. The principal of PAVD, the designers and installers of the sound and lighting systems, Mr. Theodosis Paraskevakis, says that he chose to employ the Lab.gruppen amplifiers “as they are well known to be the most reliable solution when it comes to such high expectations and requirements. And I have been proved to be absolutely right in my design, as the amplifiers have provided faultless service.”
Hope so.

TRILOGY (DUBAI)


Nighlife in Dubai ?

Dubai offers an amazing night life scene. Most night clubs in Dubai are located within hotels, but there are a few exceptions. The drinking age in Dubai is 21; and most night clubs admit persons 21 of age or older. There is no dress code for Dubai's nughtclubs, but for men make sure you wear a shirt with a collar and pants or jeans. Nighclubs in Dubai are open every day except Sundays. They are visited most on Thursdays and Firdays. They close their doors at 3:00 am.

Well it sucks that it is too expensive, i don't like this 3:00 am limit and age limit. BUT ignoring this , Trilogy is visually amazing, popular, has great dance  music and it is so fancy. 

What do they say about it?

A favorite among visitors and locals alike is the Trilogy at Madinat Jumeirah. It has a beautiful roof top terrace overlooking many if Dubai's landmarks. 
Trilogy is big. It has a capacity of 2000 people for the club and 400 for the terrace. It offers beatiful views overlooking the Burj Al-Arab Tower. The interior is also as beautiful as the club's views. Trilogy's interior comes with a Moroccan accent. 
Trilogy is one of the fanciest and one of the most expensive nightclubs in Dubai. The club features a live DJ playing a wide variety of dance music.

okay, i agree.

i am going there if i win lottery. or get married :P
