Getting into the V.I.P. section of a famous New York City nightclub can be tricky. Here are few suggestions that may help you get past those velvet ropes and big, brawly bouncers!
- The first thing you should do to land in V.I.P. is to arrive early! If you are going out to a popular nightclub on a weekend you should arrive between 10:30 and 11:00pm. Arriving at this time will improve your chances of getting into V.I.P.
- The second suggestion I have is “Dress to Impress.” The doorman and night club security want to see people who are attractive and dressed appropriately for the venue.
- It also helps to arrive at a nightclub with a mixed crowd. Bringing an attractive woman if you’re a man always helps!
Nightclubs want patrons who sit in V.I.P. to purchase bottle service, especially at the more popular New York City places. They usually require one bottle to be purchased for every two people in your party. Sometimes a nightclub’s V.I.P. host will take your credit card and driver’s license at the door before you even enter.
The last suggestion I have if you’re interested in getting into V.I.P. is to tip the security guard standing in front of the velvet rope. Fifty to one-hundred dollars should get their attention.
Good luck and drink responsibly!
