I was at Passenger a few weeks ago and LOVED IT.

that bar just does everything right.

my picks are always in hotels . . . god they make they make the best bars sometimes.  when you're in the mood.  elevators.  the best, and i mean the best, so go there and drink there.  'the library' bar at the melrose hotel.  small and to the point.  and check out the italian reataurant one block up called 'la perla.'  damn, that's nice.

What pisses me off about them is that they try pulling off the bands/DJ nights thing concurrently which ruins shows for those who are trying to see the bands if the bands are not playing punk or metal.

Then again, their band bookings fell off dramatically after snailhook left and have never rebounded.

Yeah, I've DJ'd there a bunch of times, unfortunately sometimes on weekdays when there have been shows, and we've been asked to turn it down or to wait until the show is over. I've been to shows up there while DJ's are playing and it's not too bad, I guess unless it's some sort of more mellow music it could suck. But that is a pain.

They could easily work it out but I don't think they care enough to do so.


If you're doing a mellow show upstairs, start and finish it earlier, for instance.
