Avalon Night Club

Is there over clubs im from la and im 21 but my girl 20 we tryna have fun this iur first night anyone got any suggestions

I went to the Eric Benet concert and he gave an excellent show but review is not about his performance but the club. The show was billed to start at 9pm but Eric didn’t take the stage until 11pm and there are NO CHAIRS!!! If I had known that I wouldn’t have gone. Now, if u had a VIP seat then it would have been cool. Next time I’ll buy a VIP seat and bring six people to share the cost then I’ll have a good time. If u don’t do that them come an hour and a half late and then it will be cool.

Like I said before, I’m not into the whole club thing so going here was not my top choice. What made it worse for me was the, for lack of better words, oots oots music. Save that sh*t for them thizzin ass ravers back in the day.
What saved my sanity was the back patio/​smoking area with the bar and comfy lounge seats/​ottomans. Drinks were decently priced (a round of 7 shots of patron was about $ 60, not including tip).
Would I go back, no not really. I already wasn’t thrilled with the idea of spending my Saturday night in Sacramento’s night life scene. I’m more of a dive bar kinda gal

I came here with a group of friends a while back and had a mediocre experience. places to sit werent that great and felt like the dancefloor was super old school. I did like the bar with the mirrors on it though. Has alot of ppl at it I just think they need to upgrade their dancefloor a bit

This club has it’s good and bad days. More bad then good. STOP holding the line. If you don’t want to cater to the GL line then don’t have one or cut it off. Something. This is not Vegas. Paying party goers don’t like waiting. This is what sets the tone for the rest of the night. If everybody has enough time to drink everybody would be a lot more merrier. Geez. And they want to say women can’t were boots. Not the boots with the fur. Leather boots. Just because they were flats. They weren’t rainbow colored. Either way, the bathroom and the air need maintenance. THERE IS NO PLACE TO GO IN SAC anymore

Happy hour Every Wed! The After work Net work happens! There is Karaōke and live bands! The drinks are cheap and the food is free! I have been going on Wed for the past month and have met some quality Grown and Sexy adults who just want to unwind and cut up a lil!
Check it out!

Expensive
trying to be all things that it isn’t
ghetto
trashy people
only REMOTELY but still not really worth it, if you can get in free
did see a ton of people i knew from highschool there
then again this was like 3 years ago.

I have attended events here mostly on Fridays. I have never paid to get in and always have a good time. Avalon does well depending on who is managing and advertising the events at that point.
Definately have to wait for drinks and the outside bar only accepts cash which is not to my liking.
Overall:
2 rooms, 2 dj’s with different music. Drinks are pricey but good.

This place use to be called «Elements» (correct me if I’m wrong) back in the day… then yes, someone got shot and they renamed it. AWESOME.
I will never go back there. This isn’t Vegas people… just because our guy friends are not wearing «Sunday Church Day» shoes doesn’t mean you can kick them out. They were leather… come on. Ridic.
Crowd is horrible, overpriced drinks, music is crap, and it’s small as hell… no no no and no.

I give this place a star for an impressive interior design.
Sorry, can’t be any more generous —
Crowd: ghetto
Music: cheese — it has and will remain the same top 40’s from 2006 as long as the place operates.
The place has potential, but it need real club music, and a more «normal» crowd.

The floor is sticky.
You’d be embarrassed to be seen there.
You can barely move in that cramped space.
You never feel like you got what you paid for.
You feel a slight bit of shame, but because of the circumstances, this the only thrill you managed to get on a Saturday night.
I am not talking about a coin-​op peep show — I am talking about Avalon.

I SO wanted to like this place… I REALLY REALLY did, but OMG!!! What an odd experience!
The place was really cool looking upon entering… and the drinks were ok, but the bouncers were rude and the «owner» who turned out to be the manager was on my case all night for one thing or another… First I was standing in the wrong place, then I was leaning on the railing seperating the VIP booths from the dance floor… REALLY??? I can’t lean!!!
I don’t want to claim the whole «race» thing, but when other people who were darker than me were hanging on the rails, climbing over them, sitting on them, I was threatened with being kicked out for leaning on them… hummmm…
Then there was the sound system… OUCH! I think all the dogs in the surrounding area were whining with pain from the high pitched feedback that was going on ALL NIGHT!!! DUDE… FIX IT, or get a sound engineer who can!!!
One lady turned to me and said «I didn’t pay to have my eardrums pierced»…lol That about sums it up!
OH, and the restrooms… OMG… I don’t think anyone really tends to it, and a nightclub with one working ladies toilet… REALLY a bad idea!
Overall, I think this could be a cool place with some updating, new managment and employees who actually like their jobs… but for goodness sake, fix the feedback/​sound problem!!!

Wow, this place is still in business? incredible.
Went here waaay back in 2005 with a group of friends. First off — I got gum on my friggin’ dry clean only top because some idiot decided to stick their ABC gum on the rail and I leaned up against it in the dark, only noticing the gum when I pulled away and had a long rubbery strand attaching me to the rail. EW. The clientele here is like America’s Most Wanted and at least the night I was there, very aggressive/​forward. If I remember correctly, this club used to be called something else until someone got shot/​stabbed and then renamed Avalon. Location is sketchy and I wouldn’t come back.

I heard such great things about this place from my friends and I tried really hard to like it, but it just didn’t happen. There is a cover and they are very strict on dress code (even though we had a table). Also, we had a table and we had to wait in line! The place is HUGE with 2 rooms and 2 bars.
The reason for my rating?: 1 star for never having to wait for a drink + 1 star for the nice music = 2 star rating.
(Note: The drinks are expensive!!! Also the bar in the main room does NOT accept card, CASH ONLY. UGH!)

I was thinking one star… but decided to give it a bonus one for the hilarious stories my friends and I will always have after trying this club out.
First, let me say, that the guys here for some reason all are basically stalkers. They follow you around the whole club!!! Inside, outside, to the bar… they are like poor little lost puppies which my friends and I would have felt badly for but they literally WOULD NOT STOP. SOOOOO CREEPY!!!
The music wasn’t even that great either, which meant we had socially awkward boys trying to dance next to us to music without a real beat, and if you are picturing what I saw it was NOT a pretty picture.
Definitely not worth a cover but worth a few chuckles after the fact indeed ha

If you want to be in an enclosed room that smells like someone just farted after eating a bean burrito. go here.
But if you do not enjoy the smell of flatulence, I’d recommend avoiding this joint and going somewhere that has some type of ventilation system.

This place seems to be always packed when I come.
Once Kevin Martin (Sacramento Kings) had a booth here and buying people drinks… kinda cooL. I like this place, it has two rooms like everyone said; AND ALSO, the outdoor area is actually nice. You can take people out there to talk and smoke or what not. I really like that area. There are 3 bar areas, one in each room and outside. The dance floor is normally packed with people and i normally have a fun time here. Nonetheless, I do feel like this place is sorta small because of the dance floor. I would normally try to get on the guest list here but its not as easy as Empire. I would recommend this over empire. Because its normally diverse here. The mixture between guys and girls are normally okay. The VIP booths are a little better then other places but they are kinda awkward to me. Music here is consistent and with mainstream songs.
The Security guards are annoying when the club is full. They randomly pick people (one in each click) and tell them they can’t go in…
Pros:
Packed most of the time
Decent Music
Diversity
No metal detectors …=D
Cons:
Parking Lot is SMALL (Park on the street)
Security guards can be pricks when the club is full

here’s what you need to «survive» a night out at Avalon:
1. Large group of locals. Refuse to pay $ 15 just to get in, folks! Get onto their website or talk to your local Sac friends. Some one knows how to get onto the guest list. Guaranteed.
2. Cute shoes with stable heels and ankle support straps (if you must do sandals). Firstly to make it past the fashion brigade and into the place, and secondly to keep you from twisting ankles over the vodka-​cranberry-​slick floors. DO NOT bring your Very Fines.
3. Hand sanitizer. If you’re smart, you won’t stand in the 15-​minute line for the small & sh*tty bathroom… instead, take advantage of the johnny-​on-​the-​spots out back with the smokers. The sanitizer comes in handy because there is no sink to wash up.
3. Game. Come prepared to get hit on every time you meet someone’s eye, it’s always a full moon at Avalon.
4. Hockey pads. I only recommend the high-​fashion look of full hockey gear to those who STAND IN THE MIDDLE of the dance floor in the salsa room. The unspoken rule of salsa: if you’re standing where i’m supposed to be spinning, you can expect an elbow jab, hip check or heel peck. Fair game.
5. Designated driver. Folks, you need someone who can get through road blocks and «hot zones» who has not had a drop to drink. If you have no DD to speak of, put the local cab # in your phone (916) 444‑2222. thx Yellow Cab of Sacramento…

The only way you’re going to enjoy Avalon is if you’re butt drunk. I can’t even recall what kind of music they play, the interior décor, or the kind of «vibe» Avalon has for the purpose of this review (oops!).
On my last visit there, I took pictures of strangers, socialized with half naked drag queens in the tiny bathroom, and fell on my fat ass on the infamous floor. This way, you won’t even know (or care) if a boner is pressing against you and you will find it extremely hilarious when a guy you already rejected keeps coming around and eventually resorts to shoving you because he cannot deal with the fact that a «biggie» turned him down (true story… sadly).
Good times.

I did not feel too good about my experience on Saturday at Empire for their Halloween party, so I agreed nonchalantly about another outing on Halloween, but instead we opted to get on the guest list for Zokku and to check out Avalon.
Secretly, I think my friend wanted to see if her ex was inhabiting the place. Ugh.
After showing up to see a huge line with law enforcement lining the street, I was thankful that we had worn our coats because it was a long wait, and I mean about a 45 minute wait. They were telling everyone «No costume, No entrance» apparently due to over capacity.
By the time we are three people to the door, a limo drops off a bunch of Avalon groupies, who report that Zokku had been closed due to a fight. Good thing we did not go over there, but bad now for us, since apparently the groupies knew the owner and they sashayed right in in front of all of us, freezing our bums off.
After passing through the entrance, we learned two not-​so-​encouraging things:
1. No coat check
2. $ 20 cover charge
WTF?!@ I’ve never been to a club in SF that ever charged $ 20! I was still cursing away when they added another insult that there was no coat check. My friend and I stash our coats behind a corner banquet and peruse the scene.
For Halloween, they did a good job in making the two bars glow some strange effervescent purple and green (probably to meld with their coffin Grey draped ceiling) and the bartender was quick and seem to favor the ladies more. He passed over some men to serve us first. Even though I had no money for a drink since my $ 20 was gone, he gave me a cup of iced water. That was nice.
Apparently, this club is comprised of 2 floors with separate rooms. As we were unable to navigate anywhere, we stayed on the two lower floors, and after listening to the music, I dragged my friend over to the right side where they were playing a mix of dance, 80’s, and mash-​ups. The left room was strictly Hip Hop, something not entirely my style. The crowd here is not as young as Empire and the people seemed a bit more mature. The most non-​cheesy line to my nurse costumed ass that night:
«Hey beautiful, want to be my assistant for tonight?»
There were still the groping hands from people moving through the thick crowd, but most of the men were apologetic and courteous, something I found unexpected. But the floors here get dirty fast with slippery drinks and the wooden slats were not entirely even. I saw a bunch of girls slip and fall literally on their face during their dancing… thankful that I did not embarrass myself. Closer to 2:00 am, my friend’s feet started to hurt, so we took refuge on one of their banquettes and I liked that this seating was available for patrons.
Upon exit, several of the guys who had trouped in as a groupie ran after us and gave us free passes for the next following week. Would I come again? Only if my friend wants to and to perhaps check out their salsa/​meringue nights (love it) but in all, a good experience.
I’d give it a «4» for just the bartenders… they were really nice and cool.
