Editorial Review for Crush – by Annamaria Pardini
In Short
The grand arched doorway leads to three distinct spaces. The soaring lounge, lit by a magnificent booze-bottle chandelier, offers intimate tables, a long curved bar, gigantic coffee-colored couches and granite-topped coffee tables. The sleek and cool blue room heats up on dance nights and the raucous "smoking-allowed" vice room has its own bar and bathroom that runs movies on its TVs. Contagious exuberance abounds, fueled by over-the-top cocktails and popular guest DJs, go-go dancers.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyHappy hour runs all day Tuesday and 4:30pm-6:30pm, Wed-Fri. T-dance Sundays start at 4:30pm and feature specially priced PBR and T-drinks, combining black or green tea with fruit juices and vodka.
When to GoOn Saturday nights, a $2 cover buys you into the club with DJs, male and female go-go dancers, and a crowd that usually spills out into the street.
Know Before You GoSmoking is allowed in the Vice Room, which has its own bar.
What to DrinkFor drinkable desserts, try the smooth white chocolate liquor and Hazelnut-espresso vodka NW Truffle.
On the Menuhe kitchen turns out cut-above pub grub. White cheddar- and smoked gouda-topped nachos pair well with the Hellfire margarita, a refreshing balance of piquant jalapeno-infused tequila and tropical juices.

After reading the other reviews, I was going here expecting huge crowds. Well, some friends and I went this past weekend, and I was pleasently suprised. There was hardly any one there. We went at about 11:30 until closing on Saturday night. The look of the club reminded me of a piece of modern art. It was very chic yet not overwhelming visually. I liked that Crush has three sections to it. First, there is a traditional bar section. Then, there is a more loungey part with big oversized couches and chairs. The dance area would have been too small if there were a lot more people, but it was just the perfect size when I went. There also was a "Vice room", which is just another bar area but for those who smoke. My friends and I had some of the nachos (for two) which was plently for the six of us. The drinks were a little exspensive, yet delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Pear O' (Underwear). I would definitely recommend this club for those looking for a bit of the sweet life. Tres Chic!
Pros: Delicious Food, Yummy Drinks, Great Atmosphere
Cons: Service was a little slow
