Went here for the first time on a Saturday night in November '07 and loved it. The doormen & security are unbelievably polite, the onyx bar is mesmerizing, the space is inviting, and I danced for 3 hours straight b/c the deejay is that good. The crowd is friendly and fun. I've been several times since, always on Saturday nights and always have an outstanding time.
The line has gotten longer since then. If you arrive after 10, expect to wait and pay $10 unless you've reserved a booth/bottle service.
My tips:
1. Arrive before 10 PM and you won't pay a cover + the wait will be less than 10 minutes.
2. Instead of waiting forever at the main bar, go to the bar on the stage, opposite the deejay. The bartender on Sat. nights makes strong drinks and there's no wait.
3. The crowd is predominantly 20-something, but the age range is broad - from 21 to early 50s!
Pros: Always fun. On Saturdays, patrons are encouraged to park - for free - in the huge lot right across the street.
Cons: Looooong line if you happen to arrive after 10 PM
