YUCK.

As far as nightclubs go, Avalon seems like a joke to me. The long lines out front are decieving: this place is anything but glamorous. The staff is rude, the cover is typically pretty high, drinks are expensive. The smoking patio is an alley that smells like urine and smoke and the dance floor is small. The bathroom lines take forever, only to be hasseled by agressive bathroom attendants. Plus the crowd is kind of nasty: everyone is f&%*d up on something, older or some gross but perhaps mildly amusing combination of the two. I do not know why so many people put up with this place every week. I have given the Avalon several chances and have left disappointed each time. I suggest Circus if you are looking for electronica music.

Pros: You can find free street parking if you know where to go

Cons: Rude staff, no atmosphere, lame crowd, small dancefloor just to name a few

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Entrance to the celeb-heavy Spider Club is handled separately from the Avalon. Guest list is a must. The line forms just north of the main entrance, near the alleyway.
