i have been to all the best club spots in the world, ibiza, london, goa, miami, u name it! i can honestly say the guv is the best club in north america! if you're into the rave scene theres no better. they always have the best musical talent, people are extremely friendly and you always get your money's worth. however dont go if you're not prepared for an overwhelming amount of people, music, and atmosphere. the best part about the guv is that you can completely be your self and no one cares! so go to the guv lash out and enjoy yourself!

I recommend this place.

I absoultely LOVE guvernment. It's definitely not for everyone though. It's not a bar, or a club..in my opinion it's a rave..unless of course you choose to chill solely in the drink or gallery. I mean, its a certified venue and everything, but at the same time, it attracts some sketchy people and stuff. Nonetheless, I always feel safe there and always stick with my girlfreinds. I've met tons of people at guv..esp. in the summer, outside at skybar! The people are really friendly and some people are really talented dancers.
The only thing that can get annoying is that sometimes it's overcapiciatated and people are up your ass..but that usually doesn't distract me from the kick-ass beats that pump through the speakers. I personally like gallery the best..it's got a nice dancefloor and a trendy lounge area with comfy couches and pillows where I usually chill when my legs are tired from hours of dancing. I'm a big people-watcher, so sitting on the couches is like a dance show for me. Koolhaus is usually only open for all-access events, and it's pretty sweet in there too. Main room (guv) can def get kinda sketchy but the beats in there(usually progressive-trancy) are pretty decent. Manzone and Strong, the rezident DJ's who play in the drink are spectacular and really get me movin. I prolly lose like 10 pounds every sat at guv haha.
Make sure if you go, that you can tolerate sweaty bodies rubbin up against you and the occasional sketchbag. Be safe and have fun!
