10/2012 - Club X reopening?

[Talis]

I went in one night with a buddy, for about 12 seconds.....no one in there that I'd care to hang with and less than 10 people in total. This was about 12ish one night. Place looked decent though.....but empty

They stopped me when I was walking by and said "Just take a look!" I walked in, took a look around.. Decent enough place but not a soul that was not paid to be there and the music felt loud enough to break windows. I immediately turned around and headed out and they actually physically blocked me at the door for a few seconds "Why you leave? Why you leave?"

They are marketing it pretty heavily, they seem to think that if they can get a critical mass they will be the next "it" place or something.

I think the best idea for Sosua now if you enjoy going to the nightclubs is going to D'latin, picking a girl up/out fairly early, then head out to POP to one of their dance clubs.. Or do the POP dance clubs first and go back to D'Latin afterwards to find someone if you have no luck in POP.

Any updates ? Is Club X still closed ?

[Shogun Warrior]

Club X was owned by Amando of Classico's. He still may own it and may have passed management/rental duties to someone else hoping to turn some form of rental income profit. Classico's and Club X have exactly what the "establishment" wants. Nightspots that have controlled entrance's and can keep minors out and consenting adults,.."in", behind closed doors. Just like the After 1 Club. All 3 of the venues have air conditioning and dance floors. But because of that amenity, that requires a entrance fee to pay the utilities. This would be a great opportunity for a Sosua resident that was charming and good looking to step up and be a hawker at the door or try to encourage chicas to come check it out. Hell they might even want to throw a few themed parties there if the price is right. Bachata and Merenge dancing as well as a little hip-hop? If they can have a Bikini contest at that swanky resort/theme park in Puerto Plata why not in Sosua??? Aren't you guys tired of the sweat box of D Latin ???? Build it and they will come.

Ain't no-one in their right mind gonna pay the US$5,500 monthly lease on that place.

Armando has never owned Club X.

For a while I think it was the owner of El Flow?

I could count the tourists on less than two hands the past few weeks, NO locals are going to pay a cover charge.
This may not be exactly the best time to open a club catering to mongers in Sosua.

PS: That entire block is Dominican owned, and was never owned or leased by Armando.
Talk to the owner of Cafe Cubano, a tenant next door, if you want accurate information.

YES,, and Nooooo..
I agree with your business Savvy and Ideas... but NOO, it dont work in Sosua.. In Sosua, building it, only means you may go broke.
Citylights got their asses handed to them so far.. It takes a lot more than this " build a nice spot and they will come" to make it in Sosua.
But it is possible that Citylights is just too far a walk from the center of town..

But more so, The fact that Armando has NOT as of yet successfully relaunched the Remodeled Classicos proves it.
Its as Bizzare as it gets for that Clasicos is NOT be open & jumping every weekend...
and you think ANOTHER club would be a good idea ?

I agreed with what you said before, Definitely the RIGHT TIME, but not for an additional new club, it would have to be a known spot like Classicos to generate the excitement again... After watching Citilights fail miserably, I highly doubt any other club has even a remote chance..
Anyone is welcome to try though.

do I need to pack my winter parka?...............hell surely has frozen over

[tgunz]

@JD...The whole video is shot in the BX, as I'm sure you know! He is defiantly Dom York via the BX. I know 90% of the places in the video. The gas station is across from my job. But the opening scene. Either Zerega or Hunts point. I can't put my finger on it.

Here is the video I meant to post..

[JD426]

yeagh, Hunts point sounds right.. I missed the 2 A&J ? Produce Trucks the first time...

Man I really miss the Bronx.. sounds strange ,right.

Doesn't sound strange to me at all .. Arthur ave, Gun hill for caribean, everywhere for spanish, 24 hour stores everywhere. Irish after hour spots... Yankee Staduim, Sin City...Washington Heights just across the bridge. There is something I love about cruising down the concourse! To me it's heaven. And now we have salsa con fuego..

I had Ster in the salsa for a Don Omar concert. He loved it. He made mention of returning.. Hanzo enjoy the place as well on a different night. We finally have a nice night club, at least on Friday and Saturday night. I'd stay away from the place sunday, monday, and thursday.

Best part is the crowd comes from all over. I have picked up women from ct, l.i., nj, and on Friday one from Allentown pa... she's peruvian and sleeping over saturday..

Sorry for thread jack..
